I brought a charity raffle ticket and hadn't actually expected to win, it was for a good cause, but I did and this artwork of one of my dogs was the prize. It's from Steve's Equine & Pet Portraits. A very talented artist look him up on Facebook.

@SamaHoole Oh bless him! Could you not take Hector along with the donkey when Nelson goes for his foot trim to save him stress or is that too difficult?

@AdoptionsUk @RSPCA_PATeam Greyhounds are particularly affected by extremes of temperature, either very hot or very cold because of the lack of body fat. Vets and animal charities are warning pet owners to not walk dogs in heatwaves and yet racing isn't being cancelled on welfare grounds.

@KBGreyhoundlady Happy birthday and those flowers are beautiful ❤️

[Liz Warrington @warrington111]

@CopMoustache Aww that's really kind of you, one of my dogs has allergies and often misses out at treat time as he can't have chicken and a lot of dog food contains it. He would definitely love you!

@lifeisgreyt That looks gorgeous have a great weekend.

@KBGreyhoundlady How lovely, it's so special to have that kind of encounter with a wild bird.

We’re really really struggling to find Jake a home, we knew it wouldn’t be easy, but it’s not impossible.

If everyone who sees his post can share, the power of sharing really does make a difference.

Let’s help Jake have a better life.

Jake is a 6 year old Bearded collie x Boarder Collie.
Jake is a product of his environment. He lived in home with two elderly owners, and has grown up with both of them going through the various stages of dementia. Other than walk and feed Jake, both owners had no idea of how to train or look after a dog. As a result he has had a stressful life to date, and at times has suffered physical abuse as a method of control. This shows in his behaviour, (nervous, defensive and will attack if feels threatened).
Training has been at a basic level, house trained and walking on the lead.
Jake gets nervous of noise, phones ,hoovers etc. This will lead to excessive barking and with hoovers he will attack them. In the late evening he will start barking for no good reason. Probably this is related to his owners health condition as dementia sufferers symptoms get worse later in the day.
That sums up Jake’s bad points.
Outside Jake is a different dog. He no longer pulls on the lead when walking, takes a command to wait and is more comfortable with passing vehicles.
Small fast cars are still a slight issue. He is no problem when he meets people outside and will lie down should a conversation take place. Most times he is fine meeting other dogs. The exception is if another dog gets aggressive. He will respond. He does not like cats! It should be noted that Jake is also ok with people coming into the house.
He loves to run and fetch a ball. He will happily play outside all day if someone is throwing a ball. Currently this is done on a long rope lead as his play area is not fully enclosed.
Jake requires a quiet home with owners who understand the breed, and can continue to improve his issues. He is not ready ( and may never be) for a house with young children. He needs his space to regain the trust that a raised voice or hand is not a threat.
Over the past 6 weeks there has been an improvement in his behaviour. That said there is still a way to go before he becomes the dog he can and should be.
Jake has a diet of dry food mixed with a small sachet of wet food. In addition to this he does get treats, which he enjoys, as a reward.
From the limited experience with Jake he has been ok in the car.
Jake has and has always had a large cage that he goes into if left alone. He also sleeps in it at night. He is fit and healthy.

@GreyhoundHoming My greyhound girl will dig all the beds up and then refuse to lay on them until I've rearranged them back to her liking 🙄. Lurchers tend to be different though, here's mine after my greyhound had done all the digging 😂

@ChopsyBristol Hope this might help.

[Liz Warrington @warrington111]

@devilscustard @norfolkshow @RAFFalcons How fabulous on both counts.

[Liz Warrington @warrington111]

@canthelpmenow7 Yep unfortunately under the red blob in greater London and definitely not happy about it! It was 30 degrees in my bedroom over night and probably will be even hotter tonight 🥴

[Liz Warrington @warrington111]

@KBGreyhoundlady I have an air cooler fan that you put water and ice in a compartment which probably does about the same thing as your set up.

[Liz Warrington @warrington111]

@KBGreyhoundlady Me too hate it, 34 in London and hotter tomorrow. Doing my best to keep myself and the dogs comfortable but not an easy task. My brother is in hospital central London but they do have air conditioning at least to keep him comfortable. Good luck with the physio.

[Liz Warrington @warrington111]

@Spindle_Hound Good idea it's going to be very hot today, an early walk for these two as well.

[Liz Warrington @warrington111]

@ClaireBines1 @nelliedoodles So cute and a lovely tribute of a dog fondly remembered ❤️

[Liz Warrington @warrington111]

@SallyBurford Me too, unfortunately it's a common sight wherever you go 😡. I really don't know what the answer is, I wasn't brought up to drop rubbish anywhere other than a bin 🤷

[Liz Warrington @warrington111]

@Rainmaker1973 That's brilliant, I bet the big oil companies won't be happy about it.

[Liz Warrington @warrington111]

@paulpowlesland @EnvAgency Good god you couldn't make it up could you. How ridiculous 🤷. I will email on your behalf.
