Haha! Not superwoman Jo, just some very clean kennels making my life very easy. It was the same again this morning- really think we should check the cameras to make sure the residents are actually there overnight!!! Pretty little Peggy is an absolute bundle of fun, she delights in pulling down the washing that is drying over the feeding run bars and lying on it! She will also have a nibble at your shoelaces while you are trying to scoop her poo!!!! Hope you have all had a great Coronation Day, although the weather has been most unkind for any outdoor events. Hopefully things will improve as the month progresses, and if you fancy a lovely hound walk that will also raise money for Daybreaks, have a look at the Agria walk details in the events - we would love some if not all of our residents to go along so if you would like to take one of our boys & girls for a great day out please give the kennels a call. Stay safe & well Angie xx

I think my partner is excited to see Truffle again this weekend when we bring Sparky for his health check. She gave him a kiss when we came to meet Sparky and he hasn't been able to forget her! I hope she's not waiting too much longer

Thanks so much to Angie for opening up, she had finished feeding and cleaning before we arrived! Superwoman!!! We were very short of volunteers today, but this morning Erik arrived to do some enrichment play and assessments with some of the Kennel dogs. Today it was Hilda, Robbie and Trufs turn. They all had fun, Peanut also had a go at one of the games and successfully managed to complete it. Thanks so much to Chris and Carla for doing four afternoon walks!!! We have lovely dogs looking for their forever homes, if you are considering giving a dog a home please contact the Kennels, don't be put off thinking greyhounds need lots of exercise, it's the complete opposite, they are generally lazy dogs who love a bed or sofa and a couple of short walks a day. They just want a loving home, a comfy bed (a duvet will do) and food. We are always on hand to offer help, support and advice. Go on, give us a call. Xx

If you are planning to visit the kennels this weekend, please be aware, due to a planned demolition of the old Solihull Road bridge, the M42 will be completely closed in both directions between Junctions 5 and 6 from 10pm on Friday 5 May until 5am on Monday 8 May. This will mean extra traffic on the surrounding roads including the A45. 🙁 Xxx

Skip has done his bit for the environment this Spring. After brushing him, I have been putting his excess fur out in the garden and have loved to see the Blue Tits and Sparrows collecting it for their nests. Xxx Skip is very hairy for a Greyhound; so there has been plenty to go round! :))) Xxx xxx

All the inmates enjoyed morning and afternoon walks as well as enrichment time in the feeding runs with licky mats and kongs. There was confusion with the volunteers when they arrived and saw the kitchens had swapped over!! Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. ????

What a pleasure it was to groom Villa. Sometimes hounds aren't keen on having their teeth cleaned but this lovely boy relished it and he has a great set of gnashers. He enjoys his walks and is very good on the lead xxx

Thanks so much to everyone who came in to help at the kennels on a Bank Holiday. :)) We are very grateful. Xxx The weather wasn't too bad at all, everyone enjoyed their walks and no one got wet!! :))) Yesterday, Ruth and the volunteers swapped the kitchens over...so the people's kitchen is now the dog kitchen. It's more convenient and it's easier to keep an eye on the dogs during feeding time. My Skippy wasn't very impressed! Despite there being beds in several places, there just wasn't one in its normal place and he kept flitting between the two kitchens....we all know how much Greyhounds like their routine. Bless him. Xxx xxx Great to see Cain reserved today. :)) Xxx Thanks so much to Kitty's family for taking little Hilda out for the day, she had a lovely time. Xx Such a happy little girl. Xxx Xxx
