We have had an appeal from Head Office. Can anyone help please? They said..... We have a PDSA trial injury recovery scheme dog who has injured herself (appears to be broken hock) during her second trial at Wolverhampton today. She will shortly be taken PDSA Oldbury this evening to be made comfortable and will be assessed tomorrow morning. Before we do an open appeal for her publicly, does anyone have any regular foster carers who may be free to assist? She will need regular vet check ups at PDSA Oldbury (St Matthews Rd, Oldbury B68 8AB). All medical bills at PDSA will be directed to head office and assistance with travel expenses would apply. Any foster carers would need to sign a Greyhound Trust Injury recovery scheme foster agreement.

Tommo
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I met Tommo this evening. He is such a lovely gentle boy, a little wobbly, but very friendly and made me laugh pushing and pulling his duvet around to try and get it in just the perfect position- which didn't happen! I put it right for him and he walked away! A lovely boy xxx

Ross (Kristoff)
I’m Homed
Kristoff is the most perfect boy 🙂 He had to go for his neutering operation today. He was such a good lad in the car, sitting straight down and not moving until we arrived at the vets. I took him for a walk up the road to go for a wee before going into the vets, where he met a Schnauzer and was very friendly with him. In the vets waiting room he met a very noisy Chihuahua and was great with him too. All the stsff at the vets loved him and said he was such a good boy. Especially as he had to have a major op to find a "missing" testicle. It was found in his abdomen. Whoever gets to take this beautiful lad home will be so very lucky. 🙂 Xxx

Another busy day! 🙂 It was Kristoff's turn to be neutered today. It was a big operation for him as unfortunately only one of his testicles was visible so he had to be opened up to find the other one. Ouch! It was found in his abdomen . All the staff at the vets fell in love with him as he was the perfect patient. Xxx Ruth and I collected him early this evening and also took our returnee Tommo for a check up. He too was the perfect patient! Xxx Wonderful to see Finnie reserved. He is going to have a great family to live with. :)) Thanks so much to everyone who helped out today. So very much appreciated. Xxxx Xxx

Tommo
Over the Rainbow Bridge
What a lovely older chap! It was very sad to have to go and pick Tommo up today. He looks a lot like Bobby...a distinguished gentleman. His owner says he loves to go for a walk and he loves his food. 🙂 Fingers crossed he will find a home he can spend his time enjoying a leisurely life with lots of love and affection. Xxx

Tommo
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Very sadly Kate and I have just been out to pick up Tommo. His owner is awaiting an operation so hasn't been able to walk him and is also no longer able to afford to keep him. He is 11 years old - a bit creaky on his legs, his eyes aren't brilliant and he is even greyer that he was 5 years ago! If there anybody who could find it in their hearts to offer him a home for his twilight years? Ruth x

Evie
I’m Homed
Ok, go in the kennel with Evie's harness. She lies on her side on the bed and waves her front paws. Harness over head, tummy rub, clip harness, another tummy tub hold lead, say 'come on then let's go' off she jumps, clip other side of harness and off she trots ready for the next game, sniffing!!. She is such a playful, fun girl. Xxxxx

It was great to see Trebles reserved today! He is going to have a lovely home with a very pretty Greyhound sister to share his life with. :)) Xxx Meena went off to the vet first thing for her neutering operation. She was such a good girl in the car. She was very wobbly on her return to the kennels. She also had to have two teeth removed, so a lot to go through in one day. :(( We popped her in the big kitchen kennel for the the night so she could be on her own. Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow. Xxx It was lovely and sunny today but very chilly! Thanks so much to everyone who came in to help out, it was great to not get wet for a change. :)) x It was good to see Ruth today, she was busy sorting out the items that have been bought on the recent silent auction. 🙂 Xx Xxx

Got home today to a strange-looking envelope, Its not my birthday and its too early for Christmas ,I should have really made the connection because I have always had Cards from my vets after my dogs have passed over, but this one was beyond amazing, it contained a separate Card with Carla's paw print on it and the words "When tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me , I'm right here, inside your heart", on that note this will be my last post on Carla's page, love you Mummy xx
