foster dog - woody

We currently have foster dog Woody (yakcam) before he goes into GAP, our first foster Sky (know option) is now living in her new home.Woody is cat friendly but not sheep and cow friendly.

Woody is Spiders half brother, He follows Berlin and Spider everywhere but sometimes he is naughty and runs off to chase sheep.

Today i got some photos of him playing with teddies for the first time.

scan

Berlin has been doing lots of running so i have decided to take her in for a scan. a scan can be done at 28 days so she will go in next week.
the scan should tell us if she is in pup and give us an idea into how many puppies she will be having.

Also Spider broke his toe running around yesterday so he is sulking doint the whole 'it hurts so much, give me more hugs' thing. its strapped and willl be better in no time ( like his other 3 toes)

introduction

For those who dont know me my name is Ashley Bradshaw and i work for a greyhound trainer from which i got two greyhounds (spider and berlin). First i got berlin a dog which was too old for the trainer to want to bother with (she was 3 ) i offered to try train her, she was named twirly berly and she had 16 starts for 6 placings. Unfortunatley she never won but we believe she would of had some wins if she started younger and didnt have a series of medical events (cuts on legs from fence, toe nail broke, bites on neck, and came into season) We then took on spider, Berlin and spider retired to become Greyhound As Pets supporters and helped in finding homes for other greyhounds. Last wednesday Berlin came into to season and i decided to try my hand at whelping, rearing and racing a litter of my own puppies.
i will make regular posts on this blog on how things are going so that people that own retired greyhounds can see what it took to get their greys to the track and to become pets.
