Excuse the bad filming, but here is Phoenix at the park today.  It has been a loooong wait, so when we were finally allowed it was hard to hide our excitement.  

Please excuse my crazy chatting with the boys, this was pre coffee this morning.

Good news!  The boys are healthy enough and almost ready for adoption.  As you have read and seen in recent blogs, they have had a rough start but progressed well over the last 5 weeks.

Vaccinations and desexing has been completed and they are back to 2 meals a day.  There have been some separation anxiety problems, but we are addressing that as we speak.

Dusty will be due to have his stitches out on Tuesday and Phoenix will have his e collar removed in the following days.  

The ideal candidate for these boys will be Whippet experienced.  Children are ok as they have been around my two year old who has grown up with dogs.  Note: he is not a hugely boisterous child and l am a full time at home mother, so there is always a watchful eye over them all.

When you go out, ideally they need to be in an area either dedicated to them i.e. a run or a good, warm secure area they can be put while you are out.  

Secure fencing is a must as Dusty has managed to scale our fence (after being let out of the house), trying to find me when l have taken the others for a walk.

They are toilet trained and will even go outside in the rain should they need to go to the toilet.  If the weather is really bad (which it has been), they just go under the covered outdoor area and we clean up out there in the morning.

They both have shining personalities.  Very different, heart warming to say the least.  Dusty has a cheeky disposition and is VERY chatty when he knows something exciting is about to happen - stay tuned, l will try and get this on video.

Phoenix (also known ad PPD - Phoenix Puppy Dog) is a little slower to warm to new people.  He is a little shy around males, but l would say this is due to the trauma of his past.  But, over the weeks he is now staying in the room when my partner comes in and not slinking away to a quiet nook.  

I will post more photos of the boys in the coming days, this was just an update to let everyone know that interested parties should get in touch with Jane at Iggy Rescue.  If anyone has specific questions, l am happy to answer anything you may want to ask.

One month has now passed, the boys have continued to gain weight and confidence.  We were happy to hear that at the end of this week due to their progress, they would be able to have all their vet work done.
