Fantastic news! So pleased he is doing well. He will soon become a lot more confident as he gets to know you. Thanks for giving him a wonderful home.

We took George home to our farm yesterday. He has no problems with my two small Jack Russells. He remains a little shy. Has very much enjoyed going in the fields for walks, in fact does not want to go back in to the house after the fresh air on his face and lots of new things to smell. Although he has a comfy bed he has found the usual spot in our kitchen, bum aginst the AGA. Appears to have no problem with the calves and cows which come right up the his garden fence. Sleep quietly all night and went straight out to have a wee this morning. Therfore so far so good. Hilary

Jasper has been adopted by Kerry who helps to cover the kennels. He is happily living with her two other greyhounds Archie and Susie, 7 cats and 7 chickens! Some of you will know Kerry who heartbreakingly lost her 7 year old greyhound Andy to bone cancer at the end of last year. Amazingly we found out that Jasper has the same parents as Andy and now we know why he resembles Andy so very much in looks and temperament.

Unfortunately Jasper had to have 14 teeth removed yesterday and due to a limp he was x-rayed which confirmed he needed medication to ease discomfort for a toe injury. The vets bills have come to almost £400 and we are desperate to raise funds to cover this.

Here's another photo taken after his long walk around Elmdon Park. He had a great time!

the walk was lovely and it was great to meet up with some of the recently homed greys who i knew from the kennels and have a chat with their owners. Toby was a little nervous as he has never been around so many people and hounds before but soon enjoyed it once we started walking and apart from one or two small growls my 'mr. grumpy' Rossi had a good time as well. thanks lots for a great morning and see you in may.

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY Sparky...lots of love and luck for your new year, hope you'll get a new home very soon... woofs from Monty Rossi ande Toby ( and mummy Ina ) xxxx

James is such a sweet boy. He is so very gentle and loving but does get excited when he sees other breeds so we are doing a lot of training with him. He is our longest stayer at Daybreaks (which we don't mind because we all love him) but I am sure he longs to be someone's special boy as he has so much affection to give.

Gerry is a big boy - he is a big softy and loves to cuddle! I will take a 'full length' photo today and pop it on the site - so watch this space. Do you want us to 'cat test' him?

Thanks for sending the fab photo. Ruth x
