Koda bear update.
He’s really settled in now – he’s such a good boy! He loves cuddles if you so stroking him he asks for more and takes every opportunity to get his head in your lap for a love.
He is much calmer these days – he doesn’t really react to any other dogs, even if they are barking, which is a huge step for him. He has been meeting lots of other dogs, and is very gentle, even with the little ones or ones he isn’t quite sure what they are. He goes to the shop at work every day and has the retail receptionists wrapped around his little paws, so he gets biscuits and cuddles on demand lol! He still loves his toys and will try to steal babies of the shelves any chance he gets. We let him choose his birthday present a few weeks ago, and he had a very tough choice, but settled on a pink flamingo, which he currently thinks is the best thing ever!!
He’s getting really good at leaving it and will come away from anything when told – even the next door neighbour’s cats. When he first came home, he would lose his mind if he saw one or in their garden, but now he isn’t really interested, and if he does watch them (mainly if they are running up the garden), when told to leave it will stop looking at them and walk away he’s getting really good at recall now too. We are lucky enough to have access to enclosed fields at robs parents, and he loves to play wild chase games with Woody.
His laryngeal paralysis is virtually unnoticeable now, and he happily walks, runs and plays with no trouble.
He’s an absolute gem, and we couldn’t imagine life without him now.
Hopefully we might make it to the summer fair, so will bring him with us if it’s not too warm for a visit, so hopefully see you then!

Weekly Update. Well, it’s been as crazy as ever. Five ponies have gone out. Fez, Rue and Scooby to H&H Equestrian…they actually supply unicorns if you fancy a pony party at home. Check them out, they are on Facebook. We have had 7 beautiful greyhounds go out to there new homes….good luck guys and look forward to seeing your updates and pictures…Roscoe, Glade, Jaelyn, Nada, Tiree, Adaline & Kaneesha.
Of course, their spaces were filled immediately…welcome to our new arrivals, Braden a big daft puppy who didn’t want to race, clever boy. Buster and Rolo from a trainer off Doncaster and Brad and Bette from a trainer off Belle Vue.
We’ve had a busy weekend out fundraising and in the cafe.
We have lots of events and shows booked over the summer and we have 2 horses at the Yorkshire Show tomorrow, Isla and Tom.
And we have 3 kittens…feral mom went out and bagged herself a bloke. She didn’t fetch him home…clever girl.
The kittens are living in the barn at the minute..so if you are visiting please take care with your dogs…I’m sure the kittens will keep out of the way…
There’s lots more to do with the racing/rehoming side but that is just an ongoing saga…
Thanks, everyone…we wouldn’t be here without you…

Weekly Update.
We have had another good week on the homing front, 3 ponies, Romulos, Poppy and the lovely old Angel…
Pitt a beautiful black greyhound boy has gone to his new home too. We have a couple more greyhounds reserved.
We lost one of the ducklings, probably a bloody crow or bird of prey, of which we have plenty…
And we thought we were going to lose our old Shetland pony Sunny. But thankfully he is okay. They are such a worry the little ones when they suffer from laminitis. It’s really difficult to get the right diet. Which doesn’t include grass!!
It’s Monday morning, the trainers are going to start ringing anytime wanting to fetch the dogs in. It’s always a juggling act. If we had a thousand kennels they would be full.
At least the weather is cooler today so the dogs will get a proper runaround. They have had only limited exercise over the weekend…
