Sadly a couple of greyhounds have already been reported missing due to fireworks so we want to stress how important it is to keep your greyhound safe during the firework season (unfortunately it is a season and not just one night! 😡)

🎇 Walk before it gets dark or don't walk at all - no greyhound died from missing a walk!
🎇 Use a correctly fitted collar, secured behind their ears
🎇 Ensure an ID tag is attached to the collar and your microchip details are up to date
🎇 If your greyhound goes missing contact the dog warden, vets, microchip company, homing centre and post on social media asking for sightings only - do not chase!

In the house:
🎇 Close all the curtains/blinds
🎇 Turn on lights to reduce the contrast of the flashes
🎇 Turn up the TV/radio to drown out the bangs or play calming white noise/classical music
🎇 Make a safe den area with favourite toys and long lasting treats such as a kong/licky mat
🎇 Don't overly fuss your greyhound, act normal

Hopefully the above helps your greyhound (and you!) have a relatively stress free firework season 🤞

Beautiful Lucky celebrated her first Halloween in her forever home and her family carved a pumpkin in her honour 🎃 We love her so much and she loved trick or treating with the kids 🍬👻 If you have any spooktacular photos of your hounds enjoying halloween share them in the comments.

We'll be getting together for our walk around Satley on Saturday - see post from earlier in the week for more details 👀 Then, on Sunday 8 November, we'll be gathering at the Watergate Cafe, Gateshead, NE11 0AN for a stroll around Watergate Forest. We'll be setting off from the dog friendly cafe (yes, dogs are allowed on the furniture!) at 1pm. The cafe will be open before/after the walk with a tasty range of treats for hoomans and hounds 😋 There's plenty of free parking but the walk can be muddy if it's been wet so come prepared! If anyone would like a calendar and/or Christmas cards for collection at either walk let me know sooner rather than later! If you need any further information please drop me a message. Hope you, and your gorgeous hounds, can join us at one, if not both, walks! 🐾
