Apologies Lucy. I wasnt being rude in not replying. I did respond but part of my post did not meet the approval criteria. If you google incident solihull town 16 Sept you can read what happened. My family went through the same trauma with my Grandmother although slightly different. I wont try to rewrite the rest of the post as I genuinely never know what can & cant be said. Hence I dont often use the system. I need lessons me thinks!!!

Crusty nosed Momma had a biospy of her nose when she was speyed and the results came back as DLE (Discoid lupus erythematosus) which is an uncommon auto immune disease of the skin. We have been trying her on steroids and antibiotics but it is not helping so we are going to stick with plastering high factor kids sun cream on her nose morning and night which Tigger has great pleasure helping her lick it off!!!!! Momma is coming on in leaps and bounds whereas Tigger is just pure leaps and bounds :-))) They make us smile every day x

Goose is definetly our vinnie reincarnated so we like to think hes sent us for him. Yes new 2 legged arrival should have been here a week ago but is so far refusing to budge! Not sure if its aware of all the furry and feathered siblings its going to have! Xxx

After a bit of drama, when we thought we were locked out this morning, the rest of the day went quite smoothly again. Thanks to Sue who did the vet run for us this morning and this afternoon. Ben went along this morning for his vaccination, Cleo was meant to be going to be neutered but due to her having a funny tummy, poor Elmer drew the short straw and took her place. He was quite bright when he got back this afternoon but not ready to eat his dinner. We left him snoozing on his bed with Evie being the good nurse. Thanks to the volunteers who came to day which meant that all the boys and girls were able to have morning and afternoon walks. It also meant that Richard and Declan were able to finish clearing the path from the carpark to the sand run, so that those attending 'Let the stars shine again' on Saturday evening wont need to fight there way through the bushes. Welcome to our new work placement Lucy, she enjoyed her day with the dogs but I think we had worn her out before she went home this evening, think it is all the walks. Quiet day for visitors today though with only a couple of visitors this afternoon to use the sand run. Well that's for now, I'm going to try and have a nice rest now before doing it all again on Thursday, when I believe we will be having some new arrivals.

Lucy, after being caught up in a traumatic incident that ended in tragedy yesterday your story has made me laugh which was very much needed. Tell Jet not to tell Fergal!! My grandson keeps giving me the evil eye every time he sees me clear the decks & lock everything away. I am obviously spoiling all his fun by preventing him from stealing, opening bags of yummies whether they be his or mine!! I assume you can't come Saturday eve?? Jo and I decided we need to go to Specsavers as neither of us had any idea that a new addition was on its way!!! Do let me know when the happy event happens. Love to Jet & Goose from all of us xxx

So jet thinks all his birthdays have come at once...my husband and I were in the office upstairs and he'd left his steak for tea out to breathe on the work surface...so unbeknown to us jet and the new kitten goose had gone down, goose had pushed it off for jet waiting underneath then jet brought it to their bedroom where they polished the whole thing off between them! Daddy wasnt too impressed, mommy nearly wet herself laughing. At this point jet would like to express how other greys need to realise how wonderful cats are and that you might get homed quicker if you like them! Xxx

It was lovely to hear how Viola is settling in to her new home. Her mom is besotted with her. She has found all of her beds around the house and has managed the stairs. She has been so well behaved. I have been promised another update next week!

Monday is not my usual working day, but I was covering the kennels whilst Kate is on holiday. Thanks to our wonderful group of volunteers for their help. Topper was due to be neutered today, unfortunately he has had an upset tum so he had a reprieve and antibiotics. I had an unscheduled vet run this afternoon with his kennel mate who also had a bad tum, she was due to be neutered tomorrow, but again a reprieve and more antibiotics. Better to be safe....So poor Elmer has had his op brought forward to tomorrow, sorry mate! I had a call after we left, lovely boy Tom has been reserved already, he will have a beautiful greyhound sister to live with. I think this will really help to bring him out of his shell and her too, she recently lost her brother. Thanks for the donations of bedding, always gratefully received.

So pleased to take this gorgeous boy out for a walk this afternoon. He was very good on his lead, maybe a little bit apprehensive when a noisy lorry went past at speed but was soon reassured. He's a very good lovely boy. X Xxx
