I think Seana's comments have summed up today at the kennels perfectly, :)) It was a pleasure to have her help and enthusiasm and the company of her lovely Teddy and Melly. It's true Lyra was not impressed with Teddy's advances and the look on her face was priceless! 🙂 Xx It was a warm day, we took everyone out for a walk this morning but got the paddling pool and hosepipe out again this afternoon. Looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow we will be back to wearing raincoats! Thanks so much to everyone who helped out today. I am so grateful and so are the doggies! :)) Xxx

Due to staff shortages I offered to help Kate out today and have just completed my first ever 9 hour shift!!!! What an interesting & enjoyable experience....for me but maybe not for Auntie Kate???? I helped with everything from cleaning, feeding, health checks & walks!! It is amazing how much is involved on a daily basis to look after these lovely boys and girls and there was barely more than 20 mins taken during 9 hours to have a quick breather. I never imagined just how long it all takes and the whole team has gone up a couple more notches in my admiration for all they do on a daily or regular basis. I was able to take my own two to spend the day with Kate's Lyra & Skip which meant I could spend all day there. It was a change of scenery for them and I think they quite enjoyed themselves. Teddy decided he realllly liked Lyra!!! Having decided to be brave & bold & give her a kiss she sadly didnt reciprocate his advances but was looking to Kate as if to say Mum you just let this common brindle kiss me!!!!! My poor child....he just loves everyone and all breeds too. Melly just looked on as if to say well Lyra look at the bright side you get to go home....I get to go home & await my regular ear washing but hes my brother so I can't offend him! Lovely to see Helen, Annette, Dave, Barry & Dave no2. Thank you for your company and chat. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon. I am so exhausted....not being used to hard graft!!! I am now having a lovely large Pimms before my dinner and both Melly & Teddy are fed & resting nicely. Xx

It's with immense sadness we have to let everyone know we've had let out precious Gracie (baby) go today. She was suffering with end stage kidney disease for a while now, and also very unsteady on her legs. We are devastated and heartbroken beyond belief. Gracie is on her way to meet Blaze and Jack on Rainbow bridge RIP our beauty ????

Thanks to everyone who took a dog on the Brueton park walk and braved the weather this morning. Those not lucky enough go either had a walk in the rain or some fun in the sand run. What a contrast to last week! We had a few visitors, some just to have a look around, but sadly not able to offer a home yet and potential homers, others for food and to send well wishes to Ruth. This afternoon left just Dave and myself at the kennels. Thanks Dave for taking all the dogs in turn into the sand run whilst I prepared their dinners. When we left they were all curled up comfy on their beds nice and warm and dry.

Annie joined me again to the walk a Brueton Park, we had a lovely walk with lots of other greys. Annie travels well in the car as usual, once we arrived at the park we met all the greys where she interacts beautifully. However we then had some non greyhounds Annie did her usual jumping and leaping around :(. We managed to walk round the park, we would stand still when another breed was near and this seemed to control her reactivity. By the end of the walk we were able to walk past dogs which were on the lead and calm with only a stare rather than her leaping about. However if they are off lead, then she reacts. Fingers crossed over time she can get used to non greys and find her perfect home in the mean time xxx

Well, what a difference in the weather today! There were only a few walkers but we managed morning and afternoon walks. I got the chance to go out too:) I took lovely Bocko who walks so well on the lead as do Tommy and Wendy. We all got quite wet but it was great! :)) Very cute Charisma has been reserved! She needs to meet a small doggy member of the family next week, so fingers crossed for her. Bolt came in for a pamper with Jess. He had a little run around in the sand run, then had a bath. 🙂 He looks great! Xx A much cooler night in the kennels, hopefully all the doggies will sleep better tonight. Thanks to all who helped out today. :)) Xxx
