Mom says my diet has gone to pot. Apparently I have been having far too many sausages over the last few days. Not sure that is possible! Sorry Drew that we didn’t get to meet but it is lovely to hear you are having a good Christmas. Lubs to all Florence. Xxx

So pleased to hear Danny is loving his new home! I would loved to have seen his face when he was introduced to Pinky your pot bellied pig! I'm sure he has never met one before. :)) Great to hear he is getting on well with everyone. Sending Danny and his new friends a big cuddle tonight. Xxx

Aw bless him, so glad that he seems to be settling, yes sounds like he would be much happier and settle easier with another hound for company. He's a handsome chap and I really hope his forever home is not too far away...keep up the good work Drew xxxxx

Ah my boy it sounds like you have found yourself a brilliant home with lots of pals and lovely things to do. A bit naughty to pinch the steak, although I know you are a bit fussy about your food so you obviously have expensive tastes!!! Keep up the good work, and have a brilliant retirement. xx

Drew
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Drew has been with us since Monday evening and he seems to be settling quite well. He is absolutely fascinated by all the new things he is coming into contact with, but being 6 there is a lot of the outside world to catch up with. He likes company, so I think that coming into a home with other greyhounds has helped him settle, although he isn't trying to be top dog. (That is definitely Cello's job.) He hasn't cocked his leg inside the house since Tuesday, probably my rather loud 'no' and the fact we were expecting it so kept a good eye on him. He really does seem to be learning from our greyhounds so I think that perhaps he might be happier in his forever home with another hound for company rather than on his own. He can be quite lively on his walks, especially with small furries, but mostly it is because everything is new and he wants to see it all. It has taken us a couple of nights to settle him, he needed to know that as the last arrival his is the bed on the landing just outside our bedroom door, but once settled in his bed he sleeps the night. He loves his food, but so far there has been no aggression towards the others, he does however need to learn a few manners around food when you are eating. He is a loving boy who loves cuddles, like I mentioned before after taking him to the park, he needs to see the big wide world as normal instead of all new. He is a large lad, but with a little bit of time to settle and to improve his food manners a little he will make a lovely addition to his forever family.

Good morning all, Danny has settled in great, he is a very good boy with only 1 incident where he spotted a nice bit of steak my wife had cut up to put in a stir fry and he pinched a bit lol, but after a 4 hour ride home completely incident free we just laughed, he gets on well with his new friends 3 border collies and pinky our pot bellied pig, he loves his runs round the fishery in the morning and down the field in the afternoon, we havent been down the beach yet but as soon as the weather improves we'll be there. He's loving all the fuss and attention he's getting and when he's had enough its a quick warm in front of the log burner and lie down on his bed next to the radiator. I will send pictures and updates through and i'm starting a new fb group called a greyhounds life. hope you all had a great christmas and wishing you a happy new year, best wishes, Darren, Hannah, Danny, Toffee,sooty,casper and pinky xx

Fourth day with Boots today. He's an absolutely beautiful lad. I can't actually find any downsides with him, he seems perfect. He walks great on his lead, he gets a little excited when he sees little dogs but is still very easy to control on the lead. He gets in and out of the car great, lying down straight away. He seems to know his name and goes and lies down when I tell him too - very obedient. He does get excited when his food's being prepared and eats it in a flash. He goes to the door when he wants to go out to the toilet. He loves to be near you and being fussed. He's brill. xx

Hope you had a great Christmas over the Bridge my boy. It’s been so hard to keep a smiley face when you are really hurting inside. Miss you so much and please point me the right direction to help one of your friends find our sofa.
