Harry

Again maybe his genes making him a little nervous and stressed, Jato is a real nervous Nellie, Breeze was a little better - when he is settled and finds a home try a thunder shirt worked for both girls. Xxx

Handsome Willis went to the vets first thing for his neutering operation. He was a good boy in the car although he didn't want to get in at first! He was quite bright when I collected him this afternoon and he ate all of his dinner when we got back. 🙂 x Bob and Gloria collected two boys for us this morning, Harry and Bocko. They are both a little stressed in their new surroundings at the moment and having just checked the cameras they are both sleeping on the floor! They are maybe used to different types of bedding. Sure it won't be long before they feel more at home. 🙂 Two of our work experience students finished their time with us today. Sam and Willow thank you both for all your help over the last 12 months. Wishing you both every success for the future. Barney came into see us tonight and he met new lad Harry...they got on great together. We just need to convince Barenys Mom they need another Greyhound!, :)) Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. :)) Xxx

Harry
Over the Rainbow Bridge
He looks lovely - but having looked at his pedigree I noticed his paternal granddad is my Jatos dad and his maternal grandad is our Breeze’s dad so he may well be the most loving - daft, mad, crazy houndie !! Good luck to whom ever he chooses!!!!xxx

Bolt
I’m Homed
I had the pleasure of taking the lovely Bolt on the sheldon country park walk yesterday. He behaved very well, despite being slightly interested in the small fluffies at first he responded very well to a firm no when he went to pull on the lead and for the rest of the walk I did not have a peep out of him regarding other dogs, even when a spaniel ran right across his path. He really loved being out and about with all the sights and smells, and he even enjoyed a nice lay down at the end of the walk where he was approached by a few people who wanted to fuss him, one of which a young girl who he lapped fuss off. He's quite a bouncy boy at times and as a large boy definitely does have some strength behind him so would probably suit older children rather than young but I have no doubt he would make a great addition to a family and would be an absolute fusspot. xx

Honey
I’m Homed
We took Honey out to the Sheldon country park walk today. She got into and out of the car by herself and travelled really well. Although she did pull on the lead a bit, it wasn't too hard and she was easy to control. We saw a few other breeds of dog too... She wasn't interested in any of the larger dogs and although she did show an interest in smaller breeds she didn't react aggressively and was easy to move on even when a couple of off lead ones did get quite close. She is a real beauty and with a bit of patience and training will make a greyt pet.

Honey G came with me to Sheldon Country Park today. She's a real sweetie. She travelled well and was a pleasure to walk. Didn't seem very bothered with other breeds. A very pretty girl x

Thanks so very much to everyone who came and took a kennel dog on the Sheldon Country Park walk. Nearly all dogs went, apart from the post op dogs and Buster and Dan. Buster and Dan both had a great time blasting around the sand run and playing with the toys. Eric decided halfway around the park that he needed a 5 minute break and just lay down! All came back and had a good rest before they went on a short walk up the lane this afternoon. Soon time for dinner and they all settled down for the night. Happy dogs! As a result of today's walk we had a viewing, the family went away to think things over. I had a call later.....they decided to reserve Willis (were looking for a small dog and have chosen probably the biggest at the kennels at the moment)! Two new arrivals tomorrow, a vet run and two of our lovely placement students have their last day with us. Here's hoping for a good week ahead. Thanks again for everyone's help today.

Rosie came to Sheldon Country Park with me today. She travelled well and enjoyed her walk. She's a real leaner and very affectionate. She was absolutely shattered by the time I got her back to the kennels. Bless her! X

Two of our beautiful girls went home today, Sara and Susie, both of them were very happy to go home with their new families. 🙂 Wishing them lots of happiness. Xx Jess had several customers for a pamper and nail trimming and we had visitors to the kennels to buy food. Steve, Sara's Dad popped in with Louis. He and Louis met little Sara as she was just about to go home. 🙂 Louis left the kennels a little disappointed as Steve managed to throw his ball over the fence in the sand run. Louis, we promise to try and find it for you! 🙂 It was very quiet for viewings for our lovely lads and lasses waiting for their forever homes. 🙁 Please if you are thinking of offering a home to a dog, please consider a Greyhound they are fantastic! Xxx Our last customer for the sand run this afternoon was a gorgeous tiny Italian Greyhound puppy! It was amazing watching him run around. Most of the toys were bigger than he was. :)) He came into the kennels afterwards. The look on Eric's face was priceless, he wasn't sure what to make of him at all. :)) Thanks so much for everyone's help today. Happy Birthday to Jess for yesterday! Xxx Xxx
