Lovely Treaty came with me to Sheldon Country Park today. He was very happy to be out of his kennel but a bit bemused about getting in the car. Luckily he didn't mind being manhandled in and once in, he settled quickly and was no trouble at all. He walks very well and for the first half was very quiet. He found his voice in the second half when we saw some other dogs. However, as he didn't actually pull, I can only assume he just likes the sound of his own voice!! He's a very friendly boy, who likes his cuddles and fuss. Hoping he'll have a if a to call his own soon xx

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Siren medley- we are living proof that both road shows and the walks both work. We knew that Archive was moving in for over 12 months but Breeze was lying on the pavement outside pets at home in Stratford when I met her, and Jato was attending the Stratford walk with I think Paddy and his mom and dad, when my hubby fell in love all three of them are asleep on various beds dotted around the house !!!

Well another 'what was with the weather today'??? Many thanks to all who took a kennel dog on the Sheldon Country Park walk today, sorry you got caught in the one of many hailstorm we had. Pearl went off to Melbicks to do her first road show bit, thanks Seanna for taking her. Those dogs who didn't get to go on the walk managed some sand run fun in between hail showers. After her visit to Melbicks yesterday, Nerys had a viewing this afternoon and has found herself reserved pending a home check :)) Thanks to our volunteers today for all their help, really appreciate it. I would like to say a BIG THANKS to Angie for organising yesterday's spring fayre and afternoon tea, it was lovely. Another week is upon us, hope it's a good one. X

Daisy
I’m Homed
I had the pleasure of walking this sweetheart today at the Sheldon Country Park Walk. She waited patiently to leave the kennels and got into the soft crate in our campervan by herself easily. She didn't seem phased at all by the fact our own greyhound, Skip, was in his own crate. When we got to the park she quietly waited to be let out of the van. I was warned that she's not keen on little dogs and she did initially bark and pull a bit, but with distraction and telling her she was a good girl she calmed down. She walked very well other than when she saw the little dogs off lead - again, some gentle talking to her and distraction and she kept walking. It started raining quite heavily and this didn't phase her either. She got back into the camper happily and we took her back to the kennels. She then didn't want to get out. I think she wondered why we'd taken her back. It broke my heart but we can't have 3 dogs. From what I've seen of Daisy today, she's a sweetheart but but won't be able to live with little dogs (or maybe non greys?) Walking-wise she was a little bit of a puller when there were off lead dogs, but I'm not strong and I could control her. I really hope someone with the right home set up falls in love with beautiful Daisy and takes her to her forever home soon. Lynne x

Nerys
Over the Rainbow Bridge
My sweet girly...I have been thinking about you and Daisy & Treaty a lot over recent weeks. I am delighted that the people who met you at Melbicks came back to meet you properly today. If you had not been there yesterday I was going to suggest taking you there today. I know the roadshow team sometimes have reservations about the kennel dogs being at the roadshows in case it proves to stressful for them but it just goes to show that it can be worth it as it only takes that one person or family to be visiting and even if they are not intentionally looking to adopt.......they become smitten by the well behaved boys and girls there. I am over the moon for you. Well done lovely and hope to see you Friday if you have not already left the building!!! Great news. Xxxx

Mikey

We took Mikey out today. He travelled beautifully in the car and was such a good gentle boy on the lead, he didn't pull at all. He met lots of different breeds and was lovely and calm the whole time. He really did love a fuss too and kept headbutting me and leaning in for more. He is a really fantastic boy and will make a wonderful companion.

Conte
I’m Homed
What a sweetie this boy is! Conte is a happy boy who loves other dogs, he’s paired up with little Pearl. He enjoyed his first park experience today at Sheldon Country park this morning along with Treaty, Nerys, Mikey and Daisy. He was very well behaved, maybe a little overwhelmed about the new experience but he was not too nervous. He walked passed lots of other breeds big and small and showed some interest but no aggression and wasn’t pulling to go over. He walks calmly on the lead and loved interacting with the other greys. I’m sure with his handsome looks and personality he’ll he snapped up in no time! X

It was great to see Freddie go home this morning 🙂 He is a very happy boy and is eager to start his new life. Later this afternoon his Mom sent a photo of him sitting on the bed! Wishing Freddie and his family lots of happy times together. Xx The weather stayed dry most of the day and we were able to do morning and afternoon walks without getting wet! Rhaegal's new Mom came to visit her today. She is hoping to take her home next weekend after her garden fence has been sorted. She spent most of the day with her beautiful girl sitting on her bed reading. Rhaegal loved being with her Mom having lots of cuddles and getting to know each other. She has a new name....Luna. 🙂 Xx Many thanks to Sarah for taking Nerys out to visit Melbicks for a road show. I was a little comcerned in case Nerys was too nervous but needn't have worried Nerys had a lovely time. 🙂 Jess gave ex-resident, Teddy a pamper this afternoon. He looks absolutely gorgeous and is a very happy, pampered pooch! Xx Eli who was Buster came in for a visit too. His owner says her daughter has finally got what she always wanted, a dog who will sleep on her bed with her! :)) x We said Goodbye to Oli, one of our Duke of Edinburgh volunteers today. He has been with us on Saturdays for the last three months, through wind, rain and sun! Thanks Oli it has been a real pleasure and we will all miss you. Xx Ruth and Angie were at the Spring Fayre this afternoon; so pleased to hear it was a great success and it raised lots of money. Ruth brought us some cake back! :)) Thank you to the person who made it. I know Angie has worked so hard to arrange everything. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. I couldn't think of any really challenging jobs for Jayne, 🙂 but I will work on it! Xx Xxx

I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who came along today to support our Spring Fayre and/or have Afternoon Tea. We hope you had a good time and perhaps found a bargain or two amongst the stalls. To the Afternoon Tea takers, thankyou for your patience in waiting for your pots of tea - one of the kettles decided to give up the ghost!!! We are delighted to announce that the afternoon raised £505 for Daybreaks Trust - brilliant and we are so very grateful for your support. Angie xx
