Received March 09	FLY - homed in Guernsey Hi Gail and Malcolm Here are the photos as promised - as and when we get better ones we will send them to you for your info. The write up and photos on Jersey greyhound site are great!!! With love Claire Adam Jordan Ruby and Fly and Indy Sophie, Trooper and Princess the cats Max the rabbit Chipmunks Winky, Tilly and Libby the ponies Cosmo, Spike and Jeff the guinea pigs xxx Fly has certainly landed on all four paws and what a huge and varied family he has. Not many of his greyhound friends could claim to live with such a menagerie! Below are photos of Fly and his new human brother and sister and Indy the boxer.

Received March 09	DAX - homed in Guernsey Just to let you know that Dax (Peppi) was awarded the Bronze Good Citizen Test this morning after a year of hard work on both our parts. He is now so confident he is almost cocky. Regards, Jen Congratulations to you both, this really is a fantastic achievement and your dedication obviously paid off. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Received March 09	XENA & BILLY BLUE Hi Mal, I thought I would send two pictures to you of our boy and girl. Our little girl was bemused by all the white stuff in the garden but stayed out to investigate. Our little boy on the other hand is now onto his third bed. Somehow he never looks guilty. Hope all is well with your gang. I will try to join you at the weekend for a walk all being well. See you both soon Dan Xena snow queen, not warrior princess we think. As for Billy Blue, well butter wouldn't melt!!

Received January 09	A letter from RUFUS Dear Malcolm, Thank you so much for sending me to live with these people - I still can't believe how different life here is compared to the kennels. My day usually starts just after 6 when Mum gets up and takes me for a walk. I don't like to go in the rain, and refused to go out the gate Friday morning when it was particularly wet. But she understood. When we get back, Mum gets the lunches ready and then feeds the family breakfast. This is really yummy and I get so excited, I jump up in the air - all four feet at once! Mum has nicknamed me Tigger because of my markings and the fact that I go boing, boing, boing! Then they all go to work and school, and whilst I did worry at first, I still have Nana and Grandad for company and they let me out all the time and cuddle me on the settee in their front room so it's all right. They also have some tasty treats which I get each time I've been outside. Natasha comes home first, and she plays with me and cuddles me in front of the TV. Then Dad comes home and makes a fuss of me and makes lots of nice smells in the kitchen. I lie on my grey furry bed just outside the kitchen, and he lets me have little tasters of what ever he's making - yum! I get more tasty tea, and once it's gone down a bit, Mum takes me for a second longer walk. I get more tasty treats for being good. Then we have lots of cuddles on the settee in the evening, before going to bed. I was a bit naughty when they tried to make me sleep on the landing, and kept leaving Mum little parcels, but now they let me sleep in a corner of their room and Mum lets me out just once each night. Some nights I let her sleep right through to the alarm. But she never wants to play at 4 am. I can't understand why, but there you go! The pictures show me lying on my bed by the kitchen. Along with some of the slippers and toys that I've "tidied up" for them. I'm learning to play "tug'o'war" with my pully, and the slippers! Mum and Dad have told Natasha that I can keep one of her socks and slippers as she doesn't use them any more. They are great for throwing in the air and pretending to kill! Grrr! I must go now, but will write again soon (with Mum and Natasha's help!). Thanks once again Licks and wags Rufus

Received January 09	Fagin - homed January 09 Dear Gail and Malcolm Thought you might want to see a couple of pics of our lovely boy, Fagin. He is settling very quickly and is terrified of George!! (the cat) Won't go near him! Loves his new bed and has wee'd and pooed in the garden without any hesitation. Speak soon James & Klaire

Received January 09	Floyd - homed May 07 We were delighted to receive an email from Andy, Gill and their gang letting us know that they have all settled well in Plymouth. Floyd was homed with them whilst they were living in Guernsey back in 2007. We wish them all well and have enjoyed seeing the photos of Floyd in his new home with his canine family.

Received January 09	Rufus - homed January 09 Hi Malcolm and Gail, As we have only had him a week, there aren't many shots as yet, but this shows him investigating the kitchen and having a cuddle with his new sister Natasha on the settee. He really is a lovely dog with a wonderful temperament. We count ourselves very lucky to have him. Thanks very much. It's time he was introduced to the cliff paths, so we must go! We'll send some more photos next weekend. Regards Mich, Lizzie, Natasha and Rufus Thanks for the update, glad to see Mr Handsome is settling in well.

Received December 08	Casper the holiday hound! Lucky boy Casper has recently been on his holidays to the Lake District with his Mum and Dad. The owners of his holiday home had greyhounds too, so he was amongst friends. It was a bit chilly, and as you can see Casper looks very smart in his polo neck sweater - he looks warm and toasty!

Received August 2008	Dev - homed September 06 Today, August 22nd, we received an email with a picture of Dev the birthday boy. As you can see from the card he received, he's a big 8 year old. Hope you had a great day Dev, looks like you chose your favourite past time for your special day - sleeping!!

Received August 2008	Ben - homed 2004 Hello everyone, We promised Gail and Malcolm a pictured of Ben (homed with us in 2004 and now eight years old) and Jake, our blue and gold macaw. It has taken time for us to feel brave enough to have them loose in the same room, but Ben gets a special treat every time Jake's cage is opened and Jake gets his own special treat - a walnut in its shell - when he goes back into his cage. Today, there was a clang and there was Jake marching around proudly on top of his cage, large as life and twice as natural. Ben was as good as gold and ran straight to the kitchen for his treat and then went and lay down near me ...although you can see he was still keeping a weather eye open in case a bolt-cropper beak got too near! Love to you all and all our four-legged friends, From Peter, Elaine, Ben ... and Jake

Received July 2008	Paddy - homed September 06 Hi all Well you know who this is, you know what he does (not much) and you know is is just happy soul and a joy to be around. It's Paddy! Kids love him, adults love him, cats don't really like him (but he doesn't like them either!) but most of all we love him and wouldn't be without him. Thanks to you both for bringing us such happiness xx Hope all is well. Take care Shane, Noush, Holly, Elly, Lennon and Paddy xxxxx

Received July 2008	Dev - homed September 06 Hi gang Here are 3 pictures of Dev enjoying the finer things of Jersey life. The beach and sea with his 'dad', the breakwater with his 'mum', and the attention of Jersey cows!!. I think he likes his new life, what do you think?? Thank you for changing his and our lives for the better thanks Glenn and Mandy xx Hope you don't mind Glenn and Mandy, we have also added 'the stand off' photo with the cow, couldn't resist it!

Received July 2008	Willy - homed June 08 Hi We have enclosed a couple of pictures of Willy which show how well he is settling in. I remember you saying that sometimes the dogs become puppy-like. Willy certainly has, pinching shoes, towels, umbrellas, in fact anything. We don't mind, it's good fun and a pleasure to see him so happy. Thank you for all your help.

Received May 2008	Barney - homed April 08 Hi Malcolm Thought you might be interested to see these photos of Barney. He has settled in really well and has been a lot of fun. He enjoys playing with his toys in the garden, and spends a lot of his time lying on his bed with his legs in the air! Pat and Family

	Teddy - homed June 07 Dear Malcolm, Gail and Ally Hope all is well with you all, looks as though its been a busy time judging by the website! I put a couple of pictures of Teddy on greyhound data. http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?i=1385345 I didn't change the first photo as that's the day he travelled to Jersey! As you can see he's come leaps and bounds and loves the sand dunes!! Take care Danielle
