Millie the deaf greyhound

It's official - I am the cleverest!

2011-07-27T09:32:00.000-07:00

We have a collie lurcher in the house, Tommy who has all the toys out. So the choc drops go in the bottle / rope toy and guess who figures it out ??? I worked out to tip the bottle upside down to get all that lovely choccy out. Of course now no-one else will ever learn because it is all mine!!

Yum Lasagne!

2011-07-26T10:54:00.000-07:00

I had such a lucky find yesterday. Went in to the kitchen and sat on top of the cooker thing was two nice bowls of yummy lasagne. Luckily they were nice and cool so I managed all of one bowl and managed to lick the cheese off the other. Then I was so worn out I had to go in the living room for a lie down - all puffed out with the effort I was. Then mum ran out of the room for some reason..... I went with her of course and for some reason she decided it was garden time for me. I think that she was very unfair - I could have managed the rest but she gave it to Levi and he didn't even find it!

2011-07-24T06:33:00.000-07:00

Must admit I am a bit worried today. My brother is going to have an operation tomorrow so paws all crossed here .

2011-07-24T06:30:00.000-07:00

Here's my new friend Tommy. Don't be fooled by him sleeping - he has played with every single toy in the house 10 times over - puppies .....

New friend visiting for the holiday

2011-07-24T06:25:00.000-07:00

We have a new boy Tommy in the house for a couple of weeks while his family are on holiday. He is young and a bit bouncy but doesn't play too much. Luckily as well he hasn't tried to sit in my chair either.

Off on a winter holiday

2011-06-15T07:30:00.001-07:00

Levi and myself are such fun loving friends that we are a bit too much for Grandma to cope with anymore - she looks after Muffy and Dave.
So we went off to stay with Emma at Happy Hounds boarding and it was a home from home as you can see from the pictues.
Levi and I are so well behaved with little dogs that we are even welcome back another time. I must admit that I spent most of my holiday on the sofa and didn't even get up early in the morning.

Another friend came to stay

2011-06-15T07:21:00.000-07:00

I had great fun playing with Lacey pup - she is deaf like me but she now has a home too.

Chair update

2011-06-15T07:16:00.001-07:00

I still have such fun on my chair:

Our summer visitor

2011-06-15T07:07:00.000-07:00

I have forgotten to update recently so we have a lot to catch up on. We had a very cute boy to stay in the summer called Coco and he found a lovely new home. We had great fun playing together though.

Chair report

2010-07-25T08:49:00.000-07:00

Well I have to say that although I put up with sharing MY CHAIR with Muffy, I also had to share with Musky recently. How is a girl to get her beauty sleep? Aslo I need that chair to look out of the window. I really think I should be the only one allowed on the chair. But what I can't understand is when people sit in my chair - what a cheek - I make sure I try and jump up too but can't always find the space. Quite honestly though they don't try it often because my chair is a bit doggified now and has a houndy odour to it.

Dave

2010-07-25T08:44:00.001-07:00

Dave is an 8 year old lurcher who found himself in a pound with a death sentence over him if no-one came forward. Rescue Remedies stepped up for him. He came here as a foster and we just decided he would have to stay rather than go back to a noisy kennel. He likes to play by chewing my leg which I don't mind becasue he is usually quite gentle.

Busy busy busy

2010-07-25T08:41:00.000-07:00

Well we were packesd to the rafters here for a while with 5 dogs in the house. Dave my new lurcher friend moved in about a month ago but we are back to 4 dogs now.

new friends

2010-07-25T08:38:00.000-07:00

Well my friend Musky was here for 6 months but has now moved to his new home. He was good fun but a bit big and liked to boss poor Levi around. It is a bit strange here without him but he has gone to alovely home where he gets all the fuss and toys to himself which I think he will enjoy. Not me though - I just love other dogs especially as they tell me what is going on.

New chair

2010-01-09T08:23:00.000-08:00

I now have my own chair!

2010-01-09T08:12:00.001-08:00

Well I haven't posted for a long time but I have been very busy.
Zack is in a lovely new home in Guernsey but has missed out on most of the snow. Not sure about the snow myself but at least it is better than mud.
I have a new friend called Levi who is very handsome and guess what - I am in charge of him! That has never happened to me before but I get to boss him about a bit.

Been too busy to post

2009-08-22T11:19:00.000-07:00

Saffy didn't stay long and was off to her new home in a few days but Zack was here until today. It is quiet without him although he did keep on and on and on sometimes - he just couldn't understand sensible greyhound ways resting after every burst of energy for several hours. I had to tell him off many times for being silly. I will miss him though because he was fun and we used to chase around the garden and sometimes the house too. when he got naughty he had to go in his crate so I would look at him. Once I even got him into trouble in his crate because he had lovely treats and I didn't so I kept saying I wanted some and could we play. I even learned to be a bit dominant with him which is a new thing for me - well he was new and a boy!
Mum has said that we will get a new friend though and he is going to be a greyhound or lurcher. There is a lovely greyhound called Rodney in Bristol who has had a very difficult time and could be a perfect boy for us.
Might go and meet him in a few weeks - and guess what - he is black like my old friend Ollie.

2009-07-28T11:50:00.000-07:00

We aren't ready for a new friend yet but Zack and Saffy are staying in our garden kennels for a while. I love running around with Zack - we had such fun this evening. We chase round and round my favourite tree.
I love meeting other dogs. Although I did have to tell him off because I had stopped for a rest and he wanted to carry on. Zack is a big staffie x and Saffy is a white GSD.
Milly xx

Only 2 left now!

2009-07-28T11:45:00.000-07:00

My good friend Ollie got very ill when everyone except grandma and grandad was away. We were very worried and we miss him lots. Luckily mum came home so that felt a bit better. Everyone is very sad especially Muffy the lurcher.
Milly

Back to 3 again

2009-05-10T09:49:00.000-07:00

It has got really boring round here now - I have to make all my own fun. Maggie went off with a nice family and we haven't had any new visitors. Noone will be moving in for along time because mum and all will be off on holiday and they don't want to leave me in charge of the new dog while they are away. I could do it all for grandma but noone listens to me. I am pleased that Muffy is happy now though and we do have a bit of a play sometimes.
Been spending a lot of time in the garden recently - don't know what mum and dad are up to - can't see the fun in pulling plants up. Will be glad there are less of those poky and stingy things though. Mostly in this heat I have been sleeping. I got a bit red on my bald bits and mum tried to attack me with a tube of aloe vera so I ran away and hid! Torturing your pet is illegal, you know. Now I keep an eye out for any tubes of cream. Mum says it is probably a reaction to the grass becasue it is onmy tummy a bit too and I do not roach in the garden - very undignified, mentioning no names Ollie.
Milly

2009-04-13T04:12:00.000-07:00

Hello again. Been smelling all that lovely chocolate stuff that I am not allowed.... we had bones but they were taken away when my little friend Maggie decided they were all hers - I don't take any notice of that but she went for Muffy so away went all the bones. Not fair at all. If anyone wants to see where my friends come from it is www.furryfriendsrescue.co.uk or www.rescueremedies.co.uk . We will be having a rest when Maggie goes so I'll have to just play with Muffy again. But I'm sure we'll get a new friend soon. What I didn't realise is that not all dogs live in kennels before they find a home! Some of them - the slow ones like Maggie and Rhea who would really never make very good racers ( I think non greyhounds basically) don't even try to race. They are born and go into homes although they haven't got their homes anymore. So sometimes they are very sad in kennels whereas I didn't even know what I was missing. And do you know what most of them don't get to share with a friend- us greyhounds nearly always have a friend to snuggle up with and keep us company but these stray dogs have to live in a kennel on their own - that is very sad. Some of them have never had a doggy friend so don't like other dogs. They have such different problems to us greyhounds but at the end of the day they have the same problem - finding a loving family.
Millie

2009-04-09T07:36:00.000-07:00

Snoozing with my new pal. We get on great but she doesn't get on with Ollie and Muffy though.

I've got a new litle friend

2009-03-10T10:24:00.000-07:00

I was really missing Rhea but a new friend turned up a week or so later. She is tiny but stands on her back legs to play. She is a staffy cross and apparently they haven't got such a good press as us greys. She is nice though except when she steals my bones. I am getting so brave now though - I warn other dogs if they try and take my things.
I don't like this weather - I'm a poor fragile girl who can't possibly walk in yucky mud!
Millie xx

My best friend has been taken away..

2009-02-14T08:35:00.000-08:00

Rhea found a new home today. Luckily this morning we had lots of time for a good play. She has gone to live with a dobie boy who was very lonely. But I'm lonely now! I will miss her very much. She played with me so much but she did sometimes sit on me. Mum says we might have another friend to stay sometime which will be nice. Still got the 2 old grumps to play with and there is more bed space... I'll just have to play tug with Muffy instead which she will like sometimes but not always especially early in the morning. I jumped in the crate in the van because I thought I was going somewhere interesting but Rhea went instead.
Millie

Such a helpful girl

2009-01-27T04:51:00.000-08:00

Mum is just so pleased with me at the moment because I have learned to open the post. It was a book about the multiple dog household but mum says she should have got one about just one dog instead. Don't know what she meant. I have been having such fun with my new friend Rhea - we play tug with our toys and bounce about the place particularly last thing at night and before mum gets up in the morning. Mum was late up today because I decided to sleep in the comfy beds downstairs so didn't tell her it was 7 o'clock. Muffy still isn't happy with Rhea so she won't be staying forever which I am sad about. But we might get another friend for a holiday one day.
My family love me very much and keep telling me I bring joy to their lives.
Millie xxxx

We've got a lodger

2009-01-16T03:07:00.000-08:00

Well I don't quite know what she is - she has got a squashed nose and really is too stocky, not at all elegant like me.
She is living with us as a foster, she is apparently a rottie x. Seems like a nice girl but Muffy isn't keen and she gets cross with me if I play with her. I wouldn't mind if she stays for ages but Muffy hopes she goes soon. She might move in with us if it all settles but otherwise she will get her own nice new home like we did. She pulls mum's arm because she doesn't know how to walk properly - mum walks us three on one arm and her on the other! Another good reason for getting us lovely greyhounds - we usually walk so nicely.
Millie
p.s. I'm still up to mischief but mum doesn't seem to notice so much at the moment and she can't even be sure it's me.

Sore leg and lost collar

2009-01-16T03:02:00.000-08:00

I have been getting lots of deserved sympathy for my back leg which is a bit sore. Can't think why - it just happened but mum says it was me running in the field, silly woman. I still manage my walks though.
Also lost my collar in the field somehow. Mum wasn't keen on finding it because I had rolled in fox poo. But luckily for her when we eventually found it there was only an inch of collar on the tags - chewed by the local foxes. But my new collar is lovely and my special tags are back on.
Millie

Christmas was fun

2009-01-16T02:55:00.000-08:00

Well that was an interesting time. All that food spare especially turkey skin and giblets. We didn't even get our stockings until a few days after because we had no room.
I'm still trying to get mum and dad up at the weekend, they just don't seem to notice that it is getting up time. Then they go back to bed with a cup of tea.
Wasn't too keen on the recent snow though. I haven't got thick fur and I don't really like my coat.
What is worse I had to wear a coat at night because the boiler broke down. Ollie wore one too but Millie has enough fur. It was very cold weather - best to stay tucked up in bed.
more news to follow.
Millie

I've been a busy girl......

2008-12-22T08:01:00.000-08:00

I have been having such fun. I sneaked into the living room when mum's back was turned and the door wasn't quite shut and found my new toys. Well they have been taken away so maybe they were meant for Christmas. 3 rolls of paper I managed to get out of the bag and had a good old chew on each before I was found. The door is locked now with a key. Apparently it will be decorated some time when all the plastering is finished.
I'm still helping with the recycling - when I can I shred the cardboard to help and yesterday I found a bag full of milk bottles and had such good fun. I thought mum might be a bit cross at the mess but she was quite pleased I played with those toys today and not anything else.
There was a huge lot of shopping delivered at the weekend and I am looking forward to sharing that.
We've got some nice new beds - the others curl up nicely but I must have a good stretch so they are getting a bit squashed.
It is the school holidays so I have to get mum up because she forgets for some reason.
Sorry I have not been writing much recently, hope you weren't worried.
Milly xxxx

Don't know what all the fuss was about

2008-11-04T09:56:00.000-08:00

I meant to say that I am feeling as good as new now after the op. Didn't keep me down for long. 10 day check up at the vets before mum went on holiday - no problems at all. Didn't need that silly buster collar - I haven't chewed myself at all - why bother when I have got a wicker bed and all these other things. Mind you, with this chilly weather I could do with my tummy fur growing back a bit quicker - we had snow last week.
Millie

Grandma came to stay

2008-11-04T09:47:00.000-08:00

Well everyone went away and left me. Grandma came round and I had to make quite sure she didn't get lost so I kept my eye on her. I did my usual destroying things - mostly cardboard and some post but Grandma worried a bit too much even though mum told her not to. But eventually everyone came home and everything is back to normal here.
Millie

Squirrels everywhere

2008-11-04T09:45:00.000-08:00

Had a very exciting walk today and saw 3 squirrels in a row. Even Ollie went mad - he doesn't bother too much with rabbits.
Millie

Feeling better today

2008-10-15T08:23:00.000-07:00

Well, what a day that was yesterday. When I was asleep everything went all funny. For a while I had a funny collar on but I just couldn't get to sleep with it on so it is gone now. Mum tried to take my plaster off today but I figured out it hurt however gently so I scream if she touches it now. Hanging by just one end. Now I can't have puppies which is a good thing because I need all the attention I can get. I tried to get Muffy to play this afternoon but mum told her off so she wouldn't - what is going on there?
Should be fine from now on but still feel a bit under the weather.
Millie

Off to the vets

2008-10-14T00:34:00.000-07:00

Today I am going to the vets which was ok last time I went to get a chip but today I am going to stay in without mum so I don't think I'll like that. Will let you all know how I get on later.
Millie xxxxx

Term time again

2008-09-04T09:16:00.000-07:00

Alex and Josie have gone off to school every day this week. Been a bit quiet without all my usual fuss. I was a bit naughty while mum was at the gym today but it was on its way to the charity shop anyway... Mostly though I have been very good - no more 'accidents' in the kitchen or garage.
I just love cardboard though and I find it all sorts of places. So far I haven't discovered the 'p.o.s.t.' so mum is quite pleased about that. I have been playing lots with my toys and sometimes me and Muffy play tug of war. She plays rough but I love playing so much that I don't care. Last nigth I was allowed to sleep on my own downstairs and I was still well behaved. I have decided that on the comfy bed next to the radiator is the best place to be. I have worked out who my people are now so I am a bit wary about other people but if people are careful and kind I still give them licks. I am well behaved with other dogs - today we met a white fluffy dog and I knew it was a dog and didn't try to eat it , unlike Ollie who thinks they are rabbits.
Well I really am settling in here now.
love Millie

My friend Muffin

2008-08-10T10:50:00.001-07:00

We are quite good friends now and love to do early and late evening rumbles through the house. She gets bored before me and then tells me off. These grown ups just can't take the pace.
Millie

I heard a noise!

2008-08-10T10:48:00.000-07:00

But I didn't like it! Dad had his air compressor out and it made my head feel funny so I ran away. So 95dB is what it takes.
Millie

More on toys

2008-08-10T10:46:00.000-07:00

Everything is a toy but sometimes I get told off for playing with them. Mum says I help her keep the place tidy now which is nice but she also moans that I make a mess.
Millie

Toys

2008-08-10T10:44:00.000-07:00

Today I had great fun with a toy (and it was a toy according to mum too). She threw it and I brought it back 3 times then I ran away with it as my prize. Can't remember where I left it though.
Millie.

Bones

2008-08-10T10:43:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was so exciting - we had a huge bone each and I wore my jaws out until bedtime.
Millie

My first shower

2008-08-10T10:39:00.000-07:00

Well I had a good old run in the garden and then a good old roll and then came indoors.
For some reason everyone ran away then I was put back in the garden, then when I came in mum lifted me into the shower and gave me a nice wash down. I was very scared when she tried to get me in and managed to stick my feet in the way. Then the door was shut and I had a cuddle from mum so it was ok. I wouldn't really recommend showers and don't want another one.
Millie

The honeymoon is over..

2008-08-04T08:29:00.001-07:00

What does mum mean by that? I haven't found any honey anywhere yet. I have been very busy though. Mostly chewing or moving things. I have found out that everything is there for my enjoyment. Phones, cardboard, clothes, wooden things, you name it. I have had lots of fun running around with Muffy but she is still a grump. Last night mum had to sleep on a camp bed because I wet her bed, so today I have been in and out of the garden every hour and if I do a wee I get a treat. It's back to basics she says. I tried to cheer her up by picking up my food bowl and emptying the lot on the conservatory floor but she didn't see the funny side. And I helped unpack a box and so many other things. Well I must go and get some sleep - all this mischief is tiring me out.
Millie

Nice to know

2008-07-20T13:43:00.000-07:00

It is lovely to know my old friends are thinking about me.
Millie

I can do a trick!

2008-07-20T13:35:00.000-07:00

I've been getting lots of treats but it is getting much harder. At first I just had to look at mum and hey presto a treat. Then I did a play bow and now I have to actually lie down. Mum says I need a proper sign and not just seeing a treat but I can tell she is very pleased with me.
Millie

Been out running

2008-07-16T08:56:00.000-07:00

Well when mum finally figured out how to get our harnesses on, we tried out a new game. Instead of me and Muffy having to wait for old slow coach mum, she went a little bit faster than usual - she called it running but I ask you..... Well we ran nearly half a mile to the park and then walked round and walked home. Muffy is a lurcher so she was fine but I was a bit tired doing all that walking, not used to it. I'm sure I will get used to it. Of course old Ollie didn't even come with us, he gets puffed on the normal walk.
Must get back to sleep now...
Millie

Forgot to say

2008-07-07T09:48:00.000-07:00

Also I don't pull when there aren't any rabbits, which seems obvious to me but mum was surprised that I was so well behaved between Tesco's car park and the vets.

Been to the vets

2008-07-07T09:35:00.000-07:00

We were going to have a lovely long walk, just me and mum to the vet but we drove because the weather was so bad. I was very good in the car. I didn't like getting weighed much and wouldn't get on the scales but mum lifted me up so that was ok. I was 28 kilos which must mean I am all muscle because I don't look that big. The nice vet lady was ok until she poked my back - how that stops me getting lost I don't know. Saw lots of little dogs and 2 proper sized dogs. The little ones were quite funny, mostly jack russells and spaniels but some funny things in boxes were chihuahuas (mum said they were the noisiest). Met a grumpy male greyhound but he seemed to quite like me luckily because mum insisted on saying hello. Apparently I am going back sometime to have an operation - I hope they taste nice. I am a nice surprise because I don't hop out of the car when the back door is opened. Well I had got comfy. Well lots of sleeping to do now.
Millie

Why are some days different?

2008-07-05T07:10:00.000-07:00

We got up a bit late today and then later everyone went out. Of course I'd been out a couple of times but how was I to know that I was meant to go. They came back but how was I to know when they would, I just needed to go... I thought I was getting the hang of this as well. Why isn't every day the same?
Millie

training?

2008-07-03T08:37:00.000-07:00

Well today we went out in the car to visit a man called a dog trainer but he wasn't going to teach me to race. I was assessed and although he was very nice he thought I needed a bit of work before I joined the class. I could have private lessons but they cost a lot of money so mum is going to have to start on her own. She shows me the treats then waits until I look at her then she gives me a treat. Silly game but I do get treats out of it.
Millie
Almost forgot to say that I was very good in the car.

Another new week

2008-06-30T10:04:00.000-07:00

Well, I am starting to get quite comfy here now. I don't bother giving mum the bowl now - I just lift the other one that has food underneath it. But apart from that I am getting to be very polite with people food and don't bother looking when it is on the dining table.
Ollie was funny today - there was a really big crisp packet and I just licked the top but he stuck his whole head in just like a cartoon character, wouldn't catch me doing that.
The weekend was a bit strange because one minute we weren't allowed indoors then we weren't allowed out and of course, I was very calm, if a bit disconcerted. At first I had to get up on my hind legs to look out the window just to check everyone was alright. All back to normal today though.
Millie

Yippee I've trained mum!

2008-06-25T09:47:00.000-07:00

When the food bowl is empty all I have to do is pick it up and she has learned to refill it.

Hot weather

2008-06-24T08:24:00.000-07:00

I am not sure I like this hot weather at all. By the end of the walk this morning I was dawdling along with Ollie who is an old boy.
On Saturday I had my first play with Muffy - we ran around the bedroom late at night, but then the next day she didn't want to know at all. Can't make out how these grown up doggies tick.
There is a very attractive looking dog who hides in this house - I spot her in the funny shiny window thing but when I look behind she is gone. I'm getting tired of her game so won't look again.
House training ( how do I train a house?) is going ok except when I go out but forget to do anything much when I am out there.
I'm getting good at not trying to share people food.
I am very brave with the brambles now and I love to sit in the garden when mum is gardening.
Later this week I am going to get my id chip so I will get to see the vet place. Will that be fun I wonder?
love Millie

People are funny..

2008-06-19T01:19:00.000-07:00

I think that mum must have seen a really big rabbit one day because she follows the same route every day just to see if she can find it again. I keep trying to show her the other rabbits but no she just carries on regardless. It must have been the bestest rabbit ever. Well we turned the corner in the woods and I saw a rabbit only feet away so I gave it my best and launched myself at full speed hoping she would catch on but she just stood stock still and held onto my lead. Then she muttered something about it being lucky that she went to the gym and her arm nearly being pulled out of its socket. And as for the others, you'd imagine that they thought they couldn't catch that rabbit, the way they just look but make very little effort to chase. If it hadn't been for that lead thing I would have got it easy....
Well I have some serious resting to do now so speak to you again soon.
Millie

In my new garden

2008-06-18T05:42:00.001-07:00

Another new day

2008-06-18T04:49:00.000-07:00

Me and Muffy, I don't like those stinging nettles. Me and Ollie exploring together.

Well today is a new day and it started differently. Firstly, mum was pleased that I saved myself to go in the garden instead of using the bedroom. Secondly, a grandma person came round and looked after me. I told her not to worry but she got a bit worried with Muffy for bossing me around . She is just getting used to me and apparently she is noisy when she tells me off ( why she needs to tell me off I don't know but I seem to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time!).

walks followed by a well earned rest

2008-06-17T07:51:00.000-07:00

Rabbits everywhere! I have to walk along so slowly on my lead but there are all these rabbits that need chasing. I keep trying to tell mum about them by pulling in the right direction but does she listen? I don't know if the others are a bit short sighted because they must be able to see the rabbits but just carry on normally. We go walking about midday although mum says it is 8.30 and quite early really. She really is quite forgetful, I see my new sister Muffy and new brother Ollie reminding her every time she moves but she doesn't seem to notice. We haven't seen many dogs yet but Ollie does get a bit grumpy when he sees them because he met some nasty little dogs who upset him a few years ago. When I get a bit more settled we are going to look for some new places like the park which Muffy says is fun. She poked fun at me because she is allowed off lead at the park because there are no rabbits or deer there. I have to stay on lead because I don't have any recall (where would I find that then? Maybe I'll get some as a Christmas present). Ollie is like 200 years old or something so he doesn't go to the park at all these days.

Getting settled in my new home

Hello again,
I have just got so much news at the moment. It is lovely here, but between you and me, they are a bit mean because I never get the comfy bed or the sofa..... something to do with 2 of the new people being smaller than average (kids I think they are called) . Well, seems like they are good enough at fussing, so that is the important thing.
First night was fairly easy, everyone went to bed , lights out and went to sleep. I would like a bit more choice on the bed front but Muffy the lurcher girl seems to think that she has first choice and I don't want to be impolite, do I ? Ollie, however, is a greyhound boy and of course knows his place at the bottom of the pecking order (talking of which, can you believe they have chicken things here running outside). I just don't seem to catch what Muffy says sometimes, sghe is a real grump and how am I meant to know what she is grumpy about. I just go with the flow and do a play bow and that really throws her. She'll learn soon enough, I suppose.
Stairs - well, I thought I had stairs all sewn up but no, these ones are all wooden and slippy which made me feel a bit silly really! I can do them now though and come and go as I please.
On to one of my favourite subjects- food. Can you believe that I am not allowed some food particularly on the table or in someone's hand even if I do a really good jump to reach it. There is a lot of this dry crunchy stuff though and I sample it a few times a day but it never seems to run out so I keep going back for just a little bit but it is such hard work that I don't eat too much and get full up.
Sleep is another favourite and I get lots of it. There is a lovely little bed in the conservatory which is so warm but I can't stay there too long. So reluctantly I have to play what my new mum calls 'musical beds'. We all move around a bit for a bit of a change. Don't tell dad, but mum got another bed today when she was getting some food for those chickens. Why keep silly chickens when you can keep us dogs is what I say.
Well got to go now. So many new things happening. I'll add a bit more later. Also I think mum should get a few more photos, don't you?
Millie

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Jay and David who brought me down all the way from Hull, although I don't believe it was that far because I only dozed off a couple of times, made a few comfort stops and we were there. Thanks guys. I would have loved to stay close to home but no-one there was the right home for me. I think it is that 'deaf' word again.

Hi,
my name is Millie. I am 2 years old and I have just moved from Hull to Surrey. It has been a fun but confusing time for me recently. I used to live in greyhound racing kennels but I wasn't good enough at running. Somehow all those other doggies used to know that the hare was coming, don't know how they did it. Must be something to do with the fact that I am 'deaf', whatever that means.
