Hi Shaz & Jim, thank you so much for your offer of items for the donation table.very kind of you. It would be lovely to see you all again. Xx A beautiful day lots of sunshine! Bell had to have an early bath. She managed to lie in poo in her kennel overnight! Declan gave her a quick bath, she soon dried out in the sun. :)) Ruth brought Tig in. She spent the day in the office with her Momma. She was such a good girl except for eating half a bag of puff jerky! Xx Thanks so much to everyone who came in to walk the dogs and help with cleaning and feeding. Nearly everyone who visited today fell in love with Harry. :)) He is a big gentle giant who just needs lots of help to understand the big wide world. Xx Must go to bed now...having four lovely Greyhounds snoozing all around me always makes me drop off! :))) Xxx

Honey G gave me a lovely warm welcome when I went into her run this afternoon. She can be a little bit strong in the lead initially but soo settles and walks beautifully. She's such a sweetie. Xxx

I completely agree with Kate - if you have 1 greyhound you can fit in another (and then a 3rd in our case!) December 2010 to June 2018 with just Bert then we added Skip. Then earlier this month we brought baby Sam home for 2 days and he never went back. They are all very different and bring their own dynamics to the family but I wouldn't change a thing. Anyone thinking of a 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc, just do it 🙂 - or 1st of course. Wish us luck in the caravan next week with our 3. First outing in a tow caravan and have no idea what the sleeping arrangements will turn out to be! Hopefully Skip will sleep beyond 5.15 if he's close to us.

Eric
I’m Homed
Had the pleasure of taking Eric to the Sheldon Park walk on Sunday. He was so well behaved and I had no problem getting him in and out of the car. He was excited to be out and about and enjoyed looking around so much that he just wanted to walk and walk and sniff and walk. He's big and was strong on the lead to start with but settled into a good walking pace. He is clever, deciding to have a short rest to re-energise half way round. Returned to kennels for a big drink, a long rest but hopefully for him a short stay.

Tigger
I’m Homed
Little Miss Tigger had surgery on her leg yesterday to straighten it. It was a nerve wracking day but when we collected her at 6.30pm she was already up and about and trying to weight bear!! Our big challenge will be keeping her still but today she has been golden and has lay in the office and been so brave.

Harry was still very nervous yesterday and needed help to persuade him to come out of his kennel. He is a very big, handsome lad and in the right home will become a very happy lad too! Barney any luck yet?? Xxx

Diary for yesterday!... Norman took Robbie to the park for a change of scene 🙂 He was quite keen on the small fluffies he met and will need some help socialising with them. He loves people and was very good with a young child he met. Xx We had several dogs in the doggie kitchen today, all black apart from Lyra who is black but spotty! They all got on so well together and we managed to find enough beds for everyone. All beautiful! :)) If you have one Greyhound it's very easy to fit in another! X We have reinstated our donation table at the kennels. We have so many nice items given to us, it's a shame not to have somewhere we can display them and help raise funds for the kennels. Ruth got Richard and Declan moving cupboards and sorting a roof covering! We did have to put in a complaint a couple of times as their handy work was very noisy and was putting the dogs off their dinner! :)) We are always very grateful for anything you think would be suitable. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for their help today...Declan braved the nettles and Blackberry bushes to search for Louis's ball that was lost on Saturday, he found it! Sure Sara must have helped him! :)) Xxx
