🌳 September Social Walk Reminder 🐾
Just a quick note — our walk is a week later than usual because of the car boot at the gardens.
📅 Sunday 21st September
⏰ 10:30am
📍 Bromwich Hall Gardens
It’s a relaxed, on-lead wander around the gardens. Entry fees apply — check their website for details.
After the walk, many of us grab a coffee and cake from the café and head to the marquee. Feel free to get drinks in travel cups and bring a comfy bed for your sighthound if you’d like to stay and relax afterwards.
Hope to see you then

🍂 Acorns are falling – I’ve spotted lots on our walks lately!

Acorns contain tannins, which are toxic to dogs.

For most sighthounds they’re not that appealing (they’re usually more interested in the squirrels carrying them!), but for some, curiosity, play or scavenging can end up with acorns going in their mouths.

If in doubt, contact your vet or the Animal PoisonLine helpline for advice.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Summer!

Wishing a fabulous birthday to sweet, thoughtful Summer one of the gentlest greyhounds we know.

She’s a calming presence with the softest energy… happiest tucked up in her bed or showing off her brilliant 2 paws up and ramp training skills.

Summer loves quietly watching other dogs with that gentle curiosity, and it’s been wonderful to see her confidence growing when she’s out and about.

She shares a beautiful bond with her lovely brother Morty, and it’s clear just how deeply she’s adored by Marilyn and Dave. The relationship they’ve built together is something really special.

What a sweetheart you are, Summer. Happy Birthday!

💭 Top tip for multi-dog households

If you aren’t already – different coloured leads for each dog is a game changer!

🩷 Quicker to spot who’s who – especially handy at the door or in busy moments (traffic, cyclists, squirrels, other dogs)
🩶 Easier to untangle – colour coding makes sorting leads mid-walk much less of a knot puzzle
🤎 Clear for other people – if you are out with a friend or partner they can easily take “the red lead” without confusion

Such a simple swap, but it makes a wonderful difference.

Do your dogs have different colour leads?

Thank you so much to Cheryl from We Love Dogs for having me on her podcast. Loved chatting!

Happy Birthday Sammy 🩷

He is a big boy with a big heart – to know Sammy is to love him. He’s such a kind, sensitive, and thoughtful soul; you can almost see him processing things in class, taking his time to really think things through.

His bond with Milly is just magical – they truly adore each other. Sammy has the most graceful trot, almost like a dressage horse, and it’s always a joy to watch.

He’s such a lucky boy to have a fabulous home with Milly, Aaron, and his slightly nutty greyhound sister Fleur.

He loves his ball, a good relax on a bed, or simply spending time with his favourite human 🐾

Happy birthday, handsome boy – we love you! 🎉
