A much better day...all walks nice and dry! Many thanks to Alan, Richard and Lucy for doing the warehouse run. They got stuck in traffic on the way back. So chocolate donut time was a lot later than normal!! Lucy took some fabulous photos of Willis and Dewey :)) They look so good together. She still has the whole of the big bed to herself, but we make sure Willis is comfy on the lower bed. Bless him. Xx Having just taken Bobby out for a wee, I have noticed a distinct chill in the air 🙁 Soon be back to coats and Fleeces!! Thanks to everyone for their help today. It was good to see Ashley with Alan and Myra, he is such a handsome boy! :)) In case anyone is wondering where "Suirview Maya" who has been on our website as coming soon for a long time has gone....she is now at the Dudley branch of the Greyhound Trust ready to find her forever home. Xx Xxx

A big Birthday cuddle to our beautiful little Lyra 🙂 She is five today! She had a lovely card from Cello, Millie and Murphy and Lucy made a delicious pilchard cake, which all of our dogs found irresistible! Lyra will be visiting Pets at Home in the next couple of days to choose her own present. :)) She is such a very happy, bouncing bean, our little Princess Lyra! Xxx

Hello Everyone, well I got to spend a couple of days with Barney, we wagged our tails off and swapped beds. Then auntie Charlotte, uncle Oliver and uncle Scott came to visit me. I got endless hours of cuddles and fuss - bliss! Today TC and mom cut the lawn. While they were doing it I ate a spider, sad lack of squiggles here so spiders have to do! I asked the lawn mower to play with me, it was too busy helping TC to play but mom told TC that I asked it because I need a little brother or sister to play with...... here’s hoping!!! Lubs to all.

Oh my, what a beautiful new photo of the very handsome Willis - ably supporting his kennel mate Dewey. Such a gentle giant he is taking great care of Dewey - and you've got to admit, a brindle couple would be fab!!

Oh my, what a beautiful new photo of the lovely Dewey - supported by her kennel mate Mr Willis. This little girl is so sweet but so wary of the world still - she will retreat if things get too overwhelming for her. She definitely needs doggy company to show her the way - and you've got to admit, a brindle couple would be fab!!

Anyone got experience of heart problems in the grey? We thought that Norris was losing weight, so a trip to the vet ensued today. The good news is that he has actually put weight on. Unfortunately, his heart murmur has significantly deteriorated. It was graded a 3 in April, but today it is a 6, the worst level. The vet was concerned as she’s never heard heart sounds like his, it sounds like a whistle! She let me have a listen, and she’s right, it does. As a result, Norris has been referred to a heart specialist for tests to see what is going on, and what treatment is available. As he’s 10, I’m a little worried, so any advice would be appreciated.

A horrible wet miserable day... not nice for walking but all dogs managed morning and afternoon walks, by the end of morning walks the lane was flooded. This was thanks to our lovely Vodafone volunteers and our intrepid Wednesday walkers, all got very wet indeed. The Vodafone volunteers watched and helped with health checks, and a couple went and sat with some of our residents. Not surprisingly it was very quiet for visitors, in fact I think the only visitor came in to buy a doggie raincoat!! Remember, tickets are on sale for our 'Let the star's shine...again' evening on 21 September, last year was a lovely evening, lots of stories and memories shared.it was a beautiful sight with candles lit and gazebos adorned with lanterns and fairy lights. Here's hoping that the momentum of the weekend carries on during the rest of the week and more hounds get to find their forever homes. X
