Fostering Floppy: 6 months and counting

[@radiationcow]

We recently lost our black greyhound girl to cancer, and seeing Floppy face the same challenges she did when we first got her brought back so many memories. Black greyhounds are seriously the best.

[@jwcaninecare]

Aww, I'm sorry for your loss :-(

[@susiemorris2334]

Floppy you have no idea how lucky you are to have hooJill and Mr Jill to care for you safe in the knowledge that they will love you no matter what, and will never give up on trying to help you overcome your fears and anxieties.

[@jwcaninecare]

He does his best to be appreciative.... But sometimes the he just can't help himself 🤣

[@Paul-xe8li]

Floppy doing brilliant hes so happy with your lovely family. Jill your hard work pays off In your greyhounds happiness we see in your videos too. Thankyou 🐕

[@jwcaninecare]

Thank you so much 😊

[@frenzyviz6296]

Love the films about your own dogs. Please could Floppy’s comments be on the screen a second or two longer as I have to keep pausing & replaying the video to read them. What he (& the other dogs) has to say is very important! 😉 ... & always entertaining. 😀. I love his goofy little teeth as he stares at the banana. 😆.

[@theoldgitwatgames4640]

I dare say floppy is trying to sneak cheeky stuf through via the editor so Jill doesn't see ;-)

[@jwcaninecare]

I will ask, i think the Editor does it deliberately 😜 especially when it's a cheeky comment!

I am so pleased that you adopted Floppy. His coat looks stunning, and he looks in the picture of good health. I love his face, with his bottom teeth showing, whilst he patiently waited for that bit of lovely banana! He is quite a character. xxx

[@jwcaninecare]

I was amazed he didnt take the lot....or beg for more. He likes peaches too, fruit seems to be a favourite

[@theoldgitwatgames4640]

He’s a good chap now :-)

[@Noodleandthepoodles]

Yay for floppy!! Glad he found a family who is able to problem solve for him and make him the best dog possible. His anxiety must be reduced to be getting the results that you are with him.

[@jwcaninecare]

Yes i think the difference is that he is able to disconnect and switch off more easily now

[@jeanholmes7976]

Ah Jill….you are so patient and Floppy is so lucky to be part of your pack!! Thank you and have a great week😇❤from Jean.

[@jwcaninecare]

Thank you 💙 we appreciate the support 😍

[@auroravioletlight]

❤😊 Absolutely marvellous Jill. Well done Floppy👏🐾😇 Just adorable.. Loving them all. Always makes me smile as it's heartwarming seeing and hearing about them all. Actually I was watching remembering Daisy again... admittedly there wasn't a dry eye but still filled my heart with love. Really touching, and totally resonating as always remembering my own too ❤🌈🐾 Sending love back to you all..Love, light, smiles and care. ✨💝✨💝✨💝✨ xx

I used to dog sit for several Greyhound homes. They are incredible. The last house had a retired girl from the Mexican tracks. Broke Mt heart. It took months & many times dog sitting to gain her trust. Unless she heard male Spanish voices, she would hide & you wouldn't see her for the rest of the day. Her name was Shadow. She was a massive black beauty of a dog.

[@jwcaninecare]

Aww bless her 🤗 I'm glad to hear she found a happy retirement

[@gwyneddjones607]

Jill you are amazing. It warms my heart to see the love and devotion you give to your greyhounds and the amazing results gained through your love, devotion and limitless patience. X

[@jwcaninecare]

Thank you so much! That's very kind 🙏

[@davidquerry8869]

Nothing starts off a day better than some Jill and Floppy time.

[@jwcaninecare]

Thank you so much 💙

[@hankwaddingham5025]

so glad hes coming on ..brilliant..well done jill..

[@jwcaninecare]

Thank you!!

Happy day, Floppy! These are very special creatures. Both of my greys are in equilibrium just now but some Irish dogs have been brought over for adoption. I am tempted because there is a timid lad among them who needs a home. Just afraid of upsetting the apple cart. You are inspiring and make me want to give it a go. By go I mean if we adopt a dog, we never give up on him and it is a life commitment.

[@jwcaninecare]

Awww, tempting! Could you foster and see how it goes?

[@PamsMountainGarden]

@@jwcaninecare It is tempting. We are mulling it over. There is a strong rescue org. in our state so the dogs are fostered right away and will find homes quickly. Still…..

[@kimmartin3669]

Love and Trust slowly wins the day.

[@jwcaninecare]

Sure does 😍

[@leeharvey8544]

Congratulations to you both! Floppy’s adoption is great news and thanks for these films - just love his ‘bliss eyes’ when he sits with you! 🙏💗💗💗

[@jwcaninecare]

He does love that part of his new job 😍

[@karyannfontaine8757]

Not a Dog fan, but Floppy is interesting and Jill's dedication to him is captivating. Love that she adopted him. I took on a Burmese Python who is afraid and reactive to everything. His breeder said he could never be handled. I hold him now, but he has a long way to go. Yes, an animal is a lifelong commitment. I am interested in Floppy's progress.

[@jwcaninecare]

Fascinating that these behaviour are seen in snakes too! Thank you for watching 😊

Hi there Floppy, mom and crew...just discovered Hatties racing name. Its Harmsworths Hatty...all one word. I found her on Google after Battersea confirmed her name. Ear tattoo and chip verified by a retired greyhound group. ❤

[@jwcaninecare]

Oh wow! Well done Hattie!

[@phoebsc5993]

@jwcaninecare update...Hatties dad is Rio Quattro who won the 2015 Greyhound Derby at Wimbledon. Fell off my chair! I knew she was a special girl but my....verification via retired greyhound group ...chip and tattoo investigation.

[@Notsram77]

Bless you!

[@julieswinburne1270]

Floppy looks so much better. I'm glad you adopted him. When you're out on a walk, if you meet someone you know, or someone who's interested in knowing about him, what is his reaction? Is he OK with meeting people, or does that stress him as well?

[@jwcaninecare]

He loves people, will go to strangers and demand a cuddle!
