Good news Kate with Twiggy, as for our girls one would think they have have always been with us, they get on so well but of course Mindy is top dog and keeps the other two in order. Mindy's off to the vet's in the next few day's for another check on her corns, they go on for ever although we seen to be getting near to the end of the problem for the moment. Sylv xxx

Hi Sylv - Twiggy's vet was on holiday this week, so we have postponed her visit until this Saturday. She is doing great at the moment, no night time accidents and back to her normal bouncy self. So I am hoping this will be her last visit to the vet for a while! How are all your beautiful hounds? Kate x

Hi kate hope Twiggy got on well at the vets and all problems are solved?
Sylv xxx

Hi kate(Lady V) Hope Twiggy gets on well at the vets next week, I know it takes time to get this under control. I will not be taking the other 16 baby's well if I do I think my hubby will leave home/or claim I'm mad. Sylvxxx

Hi Sylv, Twiggy is much better than she was, thanks. Just the occasional accident at night now. She has to go for a check up at the vets next week. Hope you and your growing family are all doing well. Kate xxx

Hi Bullett, Pleased you received the photo's will be forwarding more soon, re: Flojo and if poss., will take you up on the offer sometime in Sept., if o.k. with yourselves.

Hi lady Victoria,
How is Twiggy doing well I hope and her problem is now under control? SylvXXX

How wonderfull mum and daughter back together ! XX

Mindy's daughter Flo (now Flossie) has joined her mom, but I don't think we can take the other 16 offspring's. You would never think they had been parted.

Hi yes we did get photos of Mindy she looks very settled and looks as if she has lived there for ever. Thank you so much for giving her a home for life - you are more than welcome to come and see us . We have two of her other pups (they
are 4 and 7 now here. One is still running at monmore.

Hi Lady Victoria glad to hear its good news about Twiggy once the right balance is found she will be ok.
We will be walking at Kingsbury on Sunday but Mindy may no go to far. Sylv xxx to Twiggy

Hi Sylv, glad to hear her front paw is ok, hope it won't be long before the other one is back to normal. Please give her a hug from me. Kate x Ps Twiggy is much better at night now, only one accident in the last two weeks. So pleased for her.

Hi Bullett , L/Victoria & all, Well Mindy went again to the vet's yesterday(Wed.) he say's "he think's he's killed it" that's her front paw, has to go again in 3 weeks still trying to solve the back paw. One will see, corn's are strange things in human's when it comes to dog's, well!!!!!!!!!! SYLV

How are mindys pads doing - I do think she is a brave lady -
I am sure she is enjoying her life to the full having spent
so long in a kennel - she is a very lucky, lovely (dare I say)
lady!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Poor Mindy, she and the vet must be on first name terms now! I hope her pads are better soon. xx

Poor mindy your poor old legs do give you and your mom a few problems - lets hope you get your corns sorted and then have a vet free summer. xxxxxxx

Well, we are the vet's again today with Mindy, corn's on her pads. I think she 'loves the vet' or may be I've got it wrong,
perhaps its the treats afterwards.
Sylv

Hi Sylv, glad to hear no more trips to the Vet needed for the lovely Mindy! Kind regards Kate and Twiggy x

Well bullett sedate I don't think is the word with Mindy, she is top dog & leader of the pack, at her age she should be a couch potato anyway, I hope all goes well with her foot & she takes to resting (I don't think so) I agree with you,
Sylv

Lets hope Mindy can just lead a quiet sedate life like she should be (I have my doubts!!!!!!!!)

Hi Lady Victoria, stitches out & no need to return to vet's(one hopes) it seemed to go on for ever, she seems to have taken it in her stride & being an older lady not concerned by vet's, she even tried to go back & see the vet (may be to thank him or give him a kiss) SYLV.

Hi Sylv, hope everything is fine when the stitches come out today. Be a brave girl Mindy! xx

Hi bullet & Lady Victoria, Mindy has not had the lamp shade treatment, but the muzzle at night to stop her licking the paw, tomorrow (Fri) again at the vets to take out the stiches , this seems to be going on for ever. SYLV

Hi Sylv, I have been wondering how the lovely Mindy is this week too. Kate x

Has Mindy got a lampshade on? I hope not - give her a big munch from me.

Hi Sylv, many thanks for the information. Sorry to hear you lost Georgie to cancer. The increased dose of Propalin has stopped Twiggy having little accidents in the night, which I am sure must make her feel better. Fortunately she will eat anything and doesn't notice the added Propalin in her food! I am hoping we can reduce the dose a little over a period of time. I hope Mindy gets on well at the vet's today. Kate x

Hi Bullett, Back to the vet's on Monday, looks like the lamp shade collar but we will see the dressing has to come of some time, you would not believe she had a problem (well that's in her thoughts). SYLV

Hi Kate, At the start Georgie was on a high dose & slowley reduced. Georgie took the drug 3/4 yrs (until she passed away) they only problem we incured she would not have it on her food. Having since childhood had numerous bithches I had never encountered this problem until Georgie.
Until you can balance as we had too, things will then work out & the wetting problem with be solved but one will incur around £32/35.00 every 3 mnths. But no long term problems.
Georgie 11yrs. when she passed away with cancer. Twiggy will be fine when dosage solved & no more water problems.

SYLV

11 yrs. when she passed away with cancer. SYLV

Hope Mindy niggles soon clear - she certainly is having more than her fair share - at least she has all the love in the world - xxxx

Hi Sylv, Twiggy has been taking Propalin for a while now for the same reason. The vet has advised increasing her daily dose. It's reassuring to hear someone else having encountered the same condition. Did Georgie have any problems with taking Propalin long term? Kate x

Hi Kate, My previous grey (Georgie) had a water works problem, took some time to solve but ended up being a kind of hormonal problem due to being spayed & was on Propalin Syrup(think thats how it was spelt)for the rest of her life. Hope Twiggy goes o.k. & the temperature well we wouldn't like it. SYLV Good weekend to you both (may be get the BQ out while we can)

Hi Sylv, she sounds so lovely, I hope she keeps the dressing on even though it is multi-coloured and probably not good for her street cred!! My Twiggy had to go and see the vet last night. She has been having trouble with wetting the bed, poor lass. Hopefully all sorted now, she was not impressed at having to suffer the indignity of having her temperature taken, but the vet gave her a gravy bone to cheer her up!! Hope you all have a good weekend. Kate & Twiggy xx

Hi Kate,
One could not wish for a better & lovelier g/hound (so gentle, extremely well behaved & loving) just hope she keeps this new dressing on (what a fashion statement, striped & in three colours)SYLV

Hi Sylv, I hope she is a good girl! Kate xx

Hi All, Sorry change on the Friday visit to the vet's. Had to go this afternoon the dressing started to come off, all is well with the stiches & she now is going again on Monday (all in her hands of course). SYLV

Hi Mary & Martin BIG KISSES from you both on the way.
It doesn't seem to be affecting her, she wasn't limping or licking it to bring it to ones attention. More news on Friday.
SYLV & JOHN

hope mindy gets well soon,give her a big kiss from mary and martin

Will do Kate.

SYLV

Hi sylv, very pleased to hear she is ok. I hope she can be spared the lamp shade collar! I guess she is not ready to be a lady of leisure just yet! Let me know how it all goes on Friday. Kate x

Hi Lady Victoria,

BIG HUG given on your behalf. We all hope to attend K/Water Park on 20th June. Also to get a sausage from Beryl.
SYLV XX

To All, Mindy attended the vet's this morning, all o.k. with the stitches, new dressing & to attend again on Fri. for a further check, otherwise one would not think she had a problem. But on Fri. it may come to a lamp shade collar,(we will see how she reacts) . Otherwise this lady thinks she should still be racing. (She will have to get this out of her mind) & retire to a lovely lady. SYLV & JOHN

Hi Sylv - many thanks for keeping us updated on your lovely lady. I am sure she is gettng lots of TLC, hope it won't be long before she is fit and well. please give her a big hug from me! Kind regards Kate x

poor mindy - shes meantto be having a quiet retirement - she at the vets more now than when she was racing!!!!!

Love to the old gal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! special lady

Mindy came home in a drowsy state after having her only good leg out of four stiched having cut it between the toes. Has it bandaged & only in the garden until checked on Monday. The vet also looked at the dew claw, not a lot could be done but was clipped shorter.

Just been informed by the vet's that Mindy has come round and to pick her up at around 5.30, seems all o.k. but will keep all informed more on seeing her.
SYLV

Thank's to Lady Victoria will let all know tomorrow.

SYLV

Poor Mindy! I hope all goes well at the vet's on Friday. xx

Had to go to the vet's today (with Minty for her booster) but overnight noticed a problem with Mindy's back paw (not the problem dew) well it appears it has to be stiched will take place on Fri., and the problem with the dew claw will be either solved or not as being done at the same time.
SYLV

We will be attending K/bury Water park on June 20th hope to see you all, know Beryl will be there with her sausages.

SYLV

It is so lovely to hear how happy she is! Kind regards Kate x

Hi Bullett What can one say about a lovely lady, she came to D/breaks on blood day & gained a ball without donating, she has come on leap's & bounds (leads is the word, when you get the lead for walkies) har leg's may be old & her dew claw a problem but she still has exceptonal leaping ability & so gentle. Please do not give up on the older g/hounds, they will repay you. Beryl came for our final h/check a few day's ago & got a kissSSSS. ( squeak is stil in ball at present)
Sylv

Hows mindy - is she still behaving?

Great to meet Martin on Pet Blood Bank day at the trust, sorry Mary not there but I hope they are both assured she will be fine.
Sylv

Have forwarded a pictrue of Mindy's help, not sure if its gone through o.k.
She may be an old lady but can still dig.

Glad to hear you have got plenty of "help" in the garden! If you need a good digger, I have one you can borrow! xx

Its a shame Mindy cannot take to painting as well, although Minty(ex Vera) keeps running and hiding the brush if she gets the chance.(Will see if John can post a photo to Ruth)

Hope Mindy has lots of lovely lazy days in the garden with
her busy dad. Glad she has found a home for life.

With the better weather & John's retirement, I have course set him to work at the moment painting the shed & fixing a new fence, Mindy's taken to lying up the garden most of the day with him & in the sun.

Hi Bullett, Mindy's dew claw I think is going to be a problem for sometime as it's cracked right near to the top, so will have to grow out,I'm covering it with a melonin pad and vetrap at the moment so she does not catch it again. Otherwise she's great and such fun, realy coming out of her shell,although the boss to Minty.
Sylv

How is Mindy getting on with her dew claw - apart from that is she behaving still?

Mindy's dew claw still a problem. We have taken in my sister's bird while away this weekend, Mindy not taken kindly to the cockatiel, so having to put Mo in the spare bedroom, glad my sister is back on Tuesday.Minty fine with it.As one say's never a dull moment.

Hows Mindy - never a dull moment with her!!!!!!

Send her a big munch xxxxxx

John's back, one will have to see how things go with the dew claw, given antibiotics & pain killers, may come to more if this does not work (to remove permanently).

John has just taken Mindy to vet's has a bad problem with her dew claw,( alway's dislike them) it happened this morning she was having her activity time.

Hi Bullett, Mindy doing fine more into pigs ears than Easter eggs. Every time John moves she thinks she's going for a walk. But what a character & keeps Mindy in her place. I think she think she's only 3/4 years old not her real age.

Hope Mindy is behaving herself and not pinching too many easter eggs - I should imagine she is a little thief given the chance!!!!!!!!

Our love to Mary & Martin, Mindy is such a lovely lady and will be loved, you looked after so well and she will miss your cuddles, but will get extras from us on your behalf.
SYLV & JOHN

So pleased for you Mindy the waiting was worth it good luck little girl
Pam
xx

Thank you so much for giving Mindy a forever home. I know she doesnt act her age but she deserves the very best and it sounds as if shes got it!!!! Thank you again.

Both had a shower today as the weather was warmer, took it well, John and I were wetter than the dogs.

Sylv

I am so pleased to hear Mindy has her forever home. You have made my day! Kind regards Kate xx

so wonderful that you are keeping Mindy, thank you for giving her such a happy home and i hope that she will bring you as much happiness as your Georgie did. all our love Ina and the boysxxx

To Ruth, Lady Victoria, Kallie & Bullett, all goes well today with Mindy. Thank you for your thoughts and no more furry friends (I hope ).
SYLV

what a lovely picture of Mindy; my favourite Greyhound pose! Be happy pretty girl. xxxx

if ever a little girl has deserved a wonderful home then its Mindy i am so thrilled to read that she is doing so well. quite understandably Mary and Martin will miss her but how wonderful for her to finally have her own forever home (keep fingers crossed) love to you all, Ina and her 3 boys xxxx

Keep up the good work Mindy - Beats living in a kennel - You have a new friend and new parents - no more fluffy
presents for your mom and dad!!!!!!

All going well, Mindy & Minty getting on well, Mindy is getting all the dog toy's out mostly the squeaky ones, may be she thinks they are babies. I do think Mary & Martin will miss here but she is lovely character.
SYLV

So pleased Mindy is getting on well. Mary and Martin will be so pleased I think they really miss her now!!!
Pam

Just let everyone know Mindy doing well, fine with Minty, had a lovely Mothers Day gift from her (small and furry, with a long tail)???? Making herself at home.

Sylv.

I look at this site everyday to check these beautiful greys - wish we had got room for another one. It is so lovely to see Mindy reserved, good luck everyone. xx

Well done Mary and Martin ,Mindy has found a new home and you have looked after her wonderfully.

Mindy - please behave and be a good girl - will be worth it -
just think of all the love and cuddles and treats you will get.

Aahh Mindy at long last a reserved sign for you lovely little lady. i am keeping my fingers crossed that this will be your forever home and that you will settle in soon. xxxx

i wish i would not have to work full time and that i would be in a position to have another grey because she is so lovely, she really would be a jewel to have in one's life and she so deserves a bit of happiness in her retirement days. Ina xxx

How is the very beautiful mindy getting on at her foster home, I think about her every day, I log on to the website and just hope that someone falls in love with her, she reminds me so much of our very much loved 'rosie' who we lost last july, (still hurts very much) we are not ready yet but maybe in time!!!

i bumped into mindy,s foster mom in mell square on sat- if i didn,t already have 2 greys oh and a cat i would have had her - we were so sad she had been returned as we saw her jst b4 xmas- plse somebody give her a chance she is such a sweetie although i have to say i think she is very loved by mary and martin,

Mindy has been with us for such a long time now and at her age she really does deserve a home of her own. Mary and Martin are doing such a great job fostering her and she is now a fully house trained couch potato who has the sweetest grey face and she really loves to cuddle up to you. someone out there give her a chance, she will be such a wonderful girl to own. Ina x

So many beautiful greys at Daybreaks, maybe thats why this lovely older lady gets overlooked. If you have a younger grey already I would think this well mannered girl would complement the young un!
like my 2 7 year olds keep Cara aged 3 in check and teach her how to be chilled couch potatoe!!!
Please someone give her a chance, I would have her in a heartbeat so hubby is looking worried again!
i have had to promise to wait for a while, but just look at her ahhh x

mindy is good with children living with four greys at the moment not good with small dogs.house trained now,loves going for her walks generally a lovely girl needing a nice home.mary/martin

I really want her, but my husband is adamant that 3 dogs would be too much. Maybe our home would be too noisy for her...the right home is out there, but I still feel really sad about it...

Someone could make a lovely older girl so happy (no not Ruth, but she would be happy to!!!) by giving this sweet girl a home. Please don't overlook her any longer, my Dylan would love her but he is henpecked by 2 big girls already!!!
A man can only take so much! x

It's 2:30am and I can't sleep thinking about this beautiful lady! I don't work long hours, which would be great and she'd have 2 doggy brothers to play and snuggle with, but, does she get on with other breeds and how is she with children? I have 2 boys 7 & 8, who are brilliant with the dogs, but are quite busy. I'm wondering if Mindy needs a quiet house or if the noise and busyness wouldn't bother her. If someone could answer these questions it would be great, so I know if I need to start working on my husband or not!

isn't there someone out there who is at home a lot and would like the company of this lovely girl? she is now fully housetrained and will reward her new owner with lots of love and affection.x

someone please give this little lass a home, and lots of love and hopefully she will live a long and happy life and give her new owner as much joy as our 3 have. Good Luck baby x

mindy has now cracked the house training,she is such a sweet girl now needs a home,she loves company so don't think she should be left for long times but loves her walks.she got her feet under your table alright.mary and martin

I have 2 big girls and a sweet little old boy and to be very honest 1 or 3 its all the same to me, they spend most of the day lying in a row snoozing (like me now I am retired!!!) And now we have bigger beds for them hubby who pretends its me with the Grey thing going on, said "there's room for a couple more on there now!" Watch it Ruth we are after your record of 6 LOL X

Buddy - Mindy is not very big at all and i have got 3 very big male greys in a normal semi and it's no problem, they can make themselves quite small as you already know , no doubt. good luck at persuading other half!!! xxx

I shouldn't ask, my sensible hubby says 3 dogs would be too much, especially as Buddy is on the large size, but... how big is she and how is she with other breeds?

i love this little girl and i am so happy that she is doing well with her training, hopefully we shall be able to find her a forever home soon, she does deserve it so very much. xxx

oh Mindy, I log on every day to see how all the grey's are, but you have to be my big big love, I wish I could have you.
I hope that someone special out there can offer you what you deserve xx

Well done mindy - keep it up girl.

Lucky little girl being fostered by two special people
Pam
xx

mindy doing well with us toilet training going well just have to read the signs she gives us.she is such a sweety loves company and plenty of cuddles.

Mindy I really thought you would have had your slippers on
in front of the fire - I know its late in life but please try and become toilet trained so you can have slippers and a fire to
sit in front of and have loads of treats.

Oh sweetheart, that is SUCH a shame you're back here. You're such a sweetie, it's so good you're okay in a foster home, but I really do hope you find your forever home soon. Trust me, I'll be working on the parents.
xxx

Oh Mindy i can't believe you have been returned, hopefully your auntie Mary and uncle Martin will sort you out with your toilet training and then we shall find you a wonderful forever home. big big hug to you . xxx

Its so sad to hear Mindy is back, Preston would love her to be his big sister, I just have to work on Alex!!
I hope she finds a forever home soon. xxx

her owners were having trouble with toilet training. However after a few days with the fabulous Martin and Mary who are fostering her, she is doing fantastic and had no accidents yesterday. All she needs is routine and plenty of opportunities to toilet. As she has lived in a kennel for such a long time she needs a home to call hers.....

oh no, logged in to give tara a cuddle and it's broken my heart to see you back. Hope they had good reasons for your return, I cant believe anyone would be cruel enough otherwise. Lots of cuddles to you Mindy, am sure you will be loved and cherished and will find your home soon, wish we could have youxxxxxxxx

so shocked to see Mindy is back at kennels-have been watching her story since November, so very sad. Perhaps Toby would like a big sister!

Poor Mindy, I'll bet she doesn't know if she's coming or going. Good little girl, you deserve a nice settled retirement. Em xxx

poor little girl. such a sweet golden oldie, where is the Christmas spirit? These gentle dogs deserve so much more. I hope she gets her forever home for the New Year. Good luck for a better year ahead Mindy xxx

Poor, poor Mindy..... her owners have decided not to keep her any more. She is stopping in a foster home until New Year as we are full at the kennels. So sad.........

I am so pleased mindy has settled in well. Thank you to her
new mum and dad for taking on an oldie (old in age - young
at heart).

met mindy's mom and dad today at pets at home her mom and dad said she is settling in ok and is such a sweetie aahh bless xx

little Mindy, i am so happy that you will go to a home soon, you deserve the very best and i am sure you will get it in abundance from your new mum. xxx

Well done Mindy, really really pleased that someone has chosen you.

Am so happy happy happy!!! keeping all crossed for youxxx

Please let her have a home for christmas - she deserves
it .

Well done Mindy - so glad to see you have been reserved!xxx

Ah poor Mindy - an oldie but a goodie! What a shame you'd eat my cats! She'd be a perfect companion for somebody out there, and wouldn't it be lovely if she could be settled into her forever home for Xmas? xxx

She is such a sweetheart, hope she finds a home soonxxxx

If we had a house, I would have her, she looks just like Moo moo, bless her...xxx

Oh come on it's nearly Christmas, is there no one out there with a kind heart to give this lovely 8 years young lady a loving forever home after such a hectic life. Fancy having 17 children in 2 pregnances !!!!! Just think how grateful she will be to become a couch potatoe. No wonder she is a bit grey.! Go on take her home, you know you want to xxx

she looks such a sweetie, fingers crossed she will find a lovely home with a comfy bed soon as she has more than earned it

will keep my fingers crossed for her, somewhere is a family for herxxx

What a shame, she looks so lovely.

Alison, Richard, Rose and James

Unfortuantely the home wasn't suitable for Mindy so she is available again....... :-(

oh no, is Mindy still looking for her home?

Reserved!! Have got everything crossed for youxxxx

she really is a beauty, I wish we could have her, for anyone who is thinking she is 8 let me say that she will be nothing like hard to care for and have at home, as lovemygreys said, just a tummy tickle, food and comfort is all thats needed, and love costs nothing...think of what you would get in return from her, lower blood pressure and someone who is unconditionally happy to see you whenever you return home after a hard days work!! hope she is snapped up soonxxx

She is so beautiful, I wish we had the room but we dont really, despite my cow eyes at John, we just havent. I hope someone somewhere see's Mindy and can give her the home she deserves, bless herx

The old girls are the best!!! speaking for myself! all we need is a kiss and cuddle the occasional tummy rub and lots of nice things to eat lying on a comfy warm bed, and this lovely grey girl deserves the best. someone give her a chance. Two of mine are 7 years old and they have been great teaching the young un Cara (pearl) the "ropes"
good luck sweetie xxx

She was sent to Ireland after her racing career for breeding and had 10 pups in one litter and 7 in another. They all raced. She also had 100 races. She deserves a good home and to be loved to bits.

Mindy is a lovely little lady, she came for a proper snuggle and could not get enough fuss, somebody out there will get a proper little snuggle baby with this girl.xxx

Despite being an oldie - she found the cats on her cat test to be very exciting! Bless xxxx

I took the decision to leave Mindy at the kennels last night with Babe before she got too used to us..... it broke my heart to leave her - she watched me through the window...... I am sure someone will fall in love with this little old greyhound lady very soon.

Ah, she looks lovely...

oh i wish i wish what a lovely girl wonder if raffi would wish as well hope you have a lovely life xxx

oh my what a poppet, she looks so lovely i wish i could have another one. x

She had a comfortable night (apart from being sick at 3am this morning). She is making herself at home and found she likes the window seat with all the cushions. She is beautiful. She is the mum of Monkspath Evie who we homed a few years ago and she had a visit from Evie's owners last night who also thought she was beautiful.

I hope someone will give her a lovely home for the last few years of her life and not look past the fact that she is an oldie at 8 years.
