Rummy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
It's always sad to hear news of the loss of a much loved pet, but when they are so young it somehow seems even harder. I remember Rummy a lovely, friendly boy and send thanks to his family for giving him love for the last year of his life. Xxxx

Rummy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
We have received a very sad email from Rummy's family. They have said they are happy for us to add it to his page. "Rummy was the light of our life for the past 12 months and we could not have dreamed up a better boy. Unfortunately a couple of days ago he was diagnosed with acute leukaemia and was gone within 24 hours. I just wanted to say thank you for helping us find such a fantastic companion and couch hog and pass along the bad news. We will definitely continue to home Greyhounds in the future thanks to our experience with Rummy and we are so happy we could give him an amazing final year of his life." Thinking of his family and sending lots of love. God Bless your beautiful boy. Taken far too soon. Xxx

It was great to see Nifty, Cilla, Tanya and Mark this morning and wonderful for Floss to find herself reserved! :))) Sweet little Shelly went off yo her new home. Xxx Many apologies to her new Mom and Dad for not adding their homing photo to the website. Unfortunately the internet went down... :)) I am rubbish with computers! Other than turn it off and turn it on again, didn't know what else to do!! Will add the photo as soon as possible. Xx Most of the walks were dry except for the mad five minute hailstorm! Diane had kindly taken Skip out for a walk, he was not impressed to come back very wet! Sorry Skippy (and Diane! ) Xxx Many thanks to Jean and Gus for all the lovely treats and food for the Daybreaks residents. So very kind of you. Xxx It was great to see Lorraine and all her dogs today. Her lovely Norah has been very poorly but looked so good today. :)) Thanks so much to everyone for your help today. Xxx

Floss was quite taken with Nifty and Cilla when she met them today. :)) Nifty wasn't very impressed when she kissed him and gave his ear a lick...sure he will get used to the extra attention! Cilla will be fine as long she is in charge. :))) Xxx

I was invited to go and visit Ross and Cain. I paid them a visit yesterday, Ross has settled amazingly well, it is as if he has always been with Vince and Rachel. He and Cain are great together, Ross has decided to be a man's dog and lies next to Vine, whilst Cain has turned into a bit of a mommy's boy. So lovely to see everyone so happy. I am sure Charity is looking down and watching over them saying 'my job is done'. X

Friday is normally Angies day to post the daily diary, unfortunately she was unable to join us today, so the update will be done by me. Hope all is well Angie. X It was lovely to have Dave and Maisie back, Dave had been poorly but couldn't wait to come back. It was another chilly day but was quite bright, sunny and dry in contrast to yesterday's horrible weather. Thanks to everyone who came in with donations of bedding and to buy food. Britney had a visit from the family who have reserved her, she met their whippet and was great with them. Ruth dropped Mom a and Tig off whilst she went to have her scan, fingers crossed she said it was looking good so all being well she will be ok for her op next week. Although we were three people short we had enough people to do the cleaning, feeding and walking. This meant I was able to do some admin stuff that I kept having to put off. Here's hoping for some more red and green signs over the weekend. My feet are still not warm so I think another medicinal glass of wine or two is called for!!

This gorgeous girl is such a star, she has been my rock while Ruby has been so poorly but thank fully Ruby is well on the mend now but this morning i had a very nasty fall up the kitchen step and although at first it frightened Jess she soon realised i needed help and ran upstairs crying and jumped straight on top of her dad to let him know i was in trouble, i have now recovered although have some really nice bruises and aches and pains, Jess is my angel in disguise and i love her to bits, greyhounds really are clever and such tender loving dogs xx
