Aww, bless him. Glad to hear that the wee man is doing well. As for his tail, seems to be that a greyhound aint a proper greyhound unless they've had a poorly tail at some point in their life! Harry's tail-tip is only just healing now, and that's been well over a month.

I want to meet Sparty!!!! He needs a cuddle from his Auntie Fiona.

glad he's feeling better so soon after his op.  Give him a kiss on the nose from me!  I can sympathise with the 'happy tail' symdrome - both my girls had it when they arrived and as with Harry, it took a good month to start healing (my flat looked like a butcher's shop) I really struggled to keep any kind of dressing on their tails so in the end just let them be but avoided further tail battering by guiding them into a 'soft' zone whenever they were a bit exciteable - ie sitting room where there are only sofas to bash or outside.

Hope Blue cheers up - poor chap! but tell him not to worry - he will always be the ladies favourite 'one at a time girls!'

Risked leaving Blue and Sparty together for 20mins today in the kitchen as Spart wasn't happy in the indoor kennel could very well be upsetting him after been shut in kennels causing him to get depressed?. Quick blast of emergency essence for both Spart and Myself.

Everything ok when I got back apart from bin liners and fabric conditioner on the floor - Perhaps they were trying to help me with the house work

We came home one day to find the living room looking like a wee stable (it was not long before Christmas and therefore quite appropriate!).  I had left a small packet of hay for the rabbit in the living room.  Normally we lock the dogs in the kitchen when we go out but on this day had decided to "treat" them and leave them out!!  Ha ha ha!  I just picture them throwing it all in the air shouting "whoo-hoo"!!!!  I thought it was very funny but Chas wasn't amused!!

Well, tonight Spart and I headed down to Sha's to see if young Spart could be trusted with cats. We went into the room, spart dressed in his best muzzle to see the cat. Spart seemed more interested in getting the muzzle off than savaging the cat, so Sha suggested that we try with the Muzzle off, me keeping a tight hold of his lead - so we did... Spart then seemed bored by the whole affair and lay on the floor. Sha even suggested that Spart could have a wee sniff of the cat (muzzle still off - brave lady, even braver cat), and he did, tail wagging.

He then decided that it was all a bit boring sitting listening to grown-ups talking and so started singing, he holds a tune better than Blue...

So come on folks, lets find a home for Sparty as soon as possible, before Blue teaches him what cats are REALY for!

HI

Well done Sparty, what a clever boy!!. Thats excellent news, another feather in the cap.

Nicki and Janie.x

He would look great in one of those fancy collars Sky wears! He would be in his element with two ladies as Blue is trying his hardest to teach him how to charm the girls

oooh! I could buy boy colour collars! I've seen some great ones.  I don't think I'd stand a chance of getting him though everyone is going to want that little boy

Well, I think that Blue's now officially had enough of young Sparty and his cheeky little monkey ways. Blue was on his bed this morning, and Spart came and lay next to him - Blue will tolerate this, most of the time. This time though, Sparty thought it'd be funny to try and shuffle over a bit and push Blue off the bed. Oh Sparticus, when will you learn .

Blue had spotted that the kids were eating their breakfast and so were nicely out of the way and so took this opportunity to, erm, remind Sparticus what a difference a few years and 15.5 Kg makes. Cue the biggest yelp I've ever heard and a very quick retreat to his own bed, in runs Amanda saying, "What's going on? I thought something had dropped on Sparty!".

It had, a tonne of bricks.

Still, they're getting on fine again now, I think with his memory jogged, Spart's behaving better again.

Phil - I just wish I had some nice grass for Spartacus to spring clean. I'd bid for his services in a minute...

What fun you must be having with him and Blue - LOL at Blue putting the young upstart in his place when he tried to oust him out of bed!

Well, Blue (who was Sparticus, prev. Blue) went home with his new family. They have one lovely Brindle girl called Chelsea, who's painfully shy, and hope that young Sparty (sorry Blue) will help bring her out her shell a bit. Also the have a son who wants a dog for playing with, well that ought to suit.

Good luck to them, they have promised to come on here and tell us how he's getting on.

Phil

Well done to you, Phil, Manda, Harry, Eve and Blue - looks like wee Blue has fallen on his feet, and it'll be thanks to the wonderful home that you gave him these past weeks. Here's to a very happy life for the wee man.
