Ben's arrival and a brief history

|
Ben is a lovely black ex-racing Greyhound who was born on the 1st October 2005 making him 2½ years old. He weighs 66lbs (30k), is neutered, house trained, inoculated and microchipped. Ben travels well in the car but is quite a nervous dog especially around people and can pull a bit on the lead when out walking if he gets nervous. However, being amongst other Greyhounds gives him more courage and he can at times be quite playful with them. |

Ben's Diary |
|
29th July 2008
Received an email this morning from Ben's owners letting us know
they had quite a good day yesterday. Met a man on their early morning walk and he walked up the lane with them and Ben never batted an eyelid. They had a visitor yesterday afternoon and Ben actually took a couple of Maltesers from him and stayed in the same room for about half an hour before going to his safe place on the landing. Ben actually went down the garden on his own about three times yesterday but he's still not sure of all the noise the children make, which un-nerves him. When his owners went to bed last night as it was so hot they decided to leave the front room door open for the dogs as it was cooler in there for them. Normally that's the only room where they shut the door at night but about half an hour later they heard a bit of a scuffle so decided to investigate. Ben had found a bag of wool in there and decided it was playtime - there was wool from here to kingdom come. His owner felt she couldn't tell him off because she didn't actually see him do it so he got away with it, but she is going to be keeping her eyes open for a repeat performance. She says there has been an improvement this last two days but they are now wondering if he is going to be a little devil. (A lovable one).
3rd August 2008
Received an email this morning from Ben's owners letting us know he's really coming out of his shell now. Like us they get a welcome every morning when the alarm goes off. He chases round the house when everybody else gets up he goes for a walk with Ollie before breakfast because it's quieter for Ben until he gets a bit more confidence. They are then walked again when one of his owners finishes work about 5 p.m. Ben is gaining more confidence now and is going down the garden on his own possibly because the work being done that backs onto the garden must now be complete and the children next door but one must be away as it is fairly quiet at the moment. He came bounding in last night and nearly knocked his owner over as she was putting fresh water down for them as she didn't hear him coming. Some people were walking down the lane at the bottom of the garden the other day and Ben barked at them! They took him and Ollie out in the new car last Thursday and Friday and called at a garden centre for tea. There were no problems with them being left in the car together. When they collected their new car last thursday the salesman actually managed to stroke Ben!. He was a little freaked out during the week as some young children were waiting at the bus stop and making quite a lot of noise but he settled down fairly soon afterwards. Ben has a new toy the same shape as a ball of wool, which he is beginning to sniff at but he won't actually play with it at the moment. One of his owners bought him a ball and she gets on the floor and rolls it around but he just watches it at the moment. Ben is being groomed everyday and given a massage with the Tea Tree Skin Calm and his coat is looking better for it and his owners don't think the bald patches are quite as noticeable as they were.
5th August 2008
Received an email this morning from Ben's owners
saying they spoke a little too soon because the children are back next door but one so Ben won't go out whilst he can here them.
Ben is also waking them up at 6.15 a.m. each morning so if this continues they don't think they are going to need their alarm clock for much longer and gone are the days when they can have a lie in! |
