A lovely good news story….
Pim, Memoirs of a canine raconteur: Week 6-ish
WEEK SIX-ISH
WOOPIE-DO – I’ve finally managed to impress the Dragon! She says ‘any dog who contrives to remove a tin from the plastic six-pack and then open the ring-pull lid, deserves an extra tin!’
PS I’ve not got into any ‘real’ trouble for two whole days. Hope she’s got more chicken wings for tomorrow…

Pim, Memoirs of a canine raconteur: Week 3
WEEK THREE
Hi guys and that includes you Horton! Well, I’ve been living here in the Dragon’s Den for three weeks now, and there has been one day that I didn’t get into trouble!
I am still struggling to remember these damn rules. I simply don’t understand why I cannot help myself to the fruit bowl, breadbin, fridge, open cupboard or anything else within my reach. As for the pee pee rule, I’m not sure I’ll ever get the hand of that one.
The food (that I’m supposed to have, and that which I’m not!) is great and I’ve put some inches on my middle. My six-pack is looking good girls! The frequent walks are a doddle. Dragon has been taking me into a big field once a day and letting me off my lead to run. I’ll let her continue believing that I come back to her whistle, but really it’s the pack of digestive biscuits she carries with her.
Last thing at night she takes us all out and the other two have such a great time chasing foxes in the fields. I wish I could join in, but the Dragon won’t let me. She said, ‘Not until you’ve lost the family jewels!’ Which is odd – I didn’t know I had a family, let alonr the jewels.
Wonder what’s on the menu tomorrow?

Dogs For Rehoming
As you may be aware, there haven’t been any dogs on the site for a week or two. We are extremely busy with everything that is going on, including getting the Charity shops back up and running. Another couple of months without them and i wouldn’t have been sat here typing, it would have been a very different, unimaginable story.
They have had to be our priority over the past weeks.
But now i am back to the dogs, which have been coming in at an alarming rate. Erin has been today to take pictures so hopefully they will be on the site towards the end of the week.
I have recently sent 21 dogs out to other rescues, that i trust, Early Paws, Eastern Counties Greyhound Trust, Lisa at Greyhound Gap and Manda & Nat at Northern Greyhound Rescue….
We still have Tucker, Boddam and Tranent who are taking root…Cullen has just come back from a home and Noup. They need somewhere quiet with a greyhound girl to show them the ropes. Then we have the newbies, Aggie, Eadlin, Effie, Florrie(puppies mom), Sally, Angus, Bran, Brenton, Camdyn, Rian, Joe, Rav and Dev. There are another 5 coming in tommorrow.
So whilst other charities are shipping greyhounds in from Ireland, we are sinking again under the sheer volume. Just guess they don’t have an exciting back story. Still there isn’t a problem with greyhound racing is there.

Please, everyone with Tia dogs, take extra care with them until this upgrade meltdown is sorted. Most Tia dogs are registered with them, one way or another. If they get loose God forbid, they won’t be recovered so easily. Let us know.
In fact, take extra care even if they aren’t Tia dogs!!!
Pim, Memoirs of a canine raconteur: Day 12
DAY TWELVE
I am having so many setbacks at present, the dragon is calling me the ‘hound from hell’, and says she is fast losing ‘the will to live’. Now she know what many of us feel like in the pound/kennels or worse. I don’t really like telling you about my misdemeanours on a daily basis, so think I will go onto a weekly blog – maybe it won’t sound so bad that way?
I did find out today, when I helped her unload the shopping and took care of the toilet paper, that the dragon doesn’t like the Andrex dog either! However I did discover that things don’t look so bad to her when she has been drinking gin. I do hope the dragon has more gin for tomorrow. Cheers!
