Oh Nicola .... I'm so sorry to hear this. I remember how excited you were to take her home! Thinking of you all xxx

Thank you so much to everyone for your kind words of sympathy and prayers for the loss of Lilah. It means so much to us. Our thoughts, too, are with those who have lost their beloved dogs.

We have very much missed our friends and happy times at Daybreaks and hope to see you all again soon.

Love Nicola and Brian. xx

So sorry to read this I remember you getting her hugs to you both

I’m so sorry. Run free little one xxxx

So very sorry to hear that your Beautiful girl has gained her wings, keeping you in my thoughts xxxx

Dear Nicola and Brian, so very sad to hear you have had to say goodbye to your beautiful Lilah. She was such a very sweet girl. She had a fabulous life with you.

Thinking of you all and sending lots of love. Hope to see you soon.

Lots of love Kate, Skip, Fletcher and Lyra. Xxx

So very sorry for your loss. xxx

So sorry for your loss. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Xxx

So very heartbroken to hear this, I know how devastating it is to lose your beloved hound, I have lost two to Rainbow Bridge since Christmas. You are in my thoughts and in my prayers. Please take some solace that you gave her the best of lives. Jo x

LILAH (HONOUR LASS)
14 May 2011 – 8 April 2021

Our beautiful Lilah has gone to Rainbow Bridge.

She was off colour for a couple of days and then, after a visit to our vet, it was confirmed she had liver problems. She declined very quickly after that. Thankfully, we were able to say goodbye to her in the quiet of our home, and she left us gently and peacefully. We are heartbroken.

Although a nervous girl, she came on in leaps and bounds over the years. It was so rewarding to see her grow in confidence and trust, coming out of her shell and responding shyly, but well, to people other than those in her family. We regularly visited the local care home, where she was adored by the residents and staff, and enjoyed attention in a calm environment.

She loved her walks, but from time to time she would refuse point-blank to go further than the post box at the end of the road and point her nose towards home!

Her greetings were like no other. Even if I popped to the shops for ten minutes I would so look forward to her rushing to the hall for kisses on my return.

She loved her bed, her food and her ball and was quite a playful character. We had some fun games in the garden and made such lovely memories together.

Thank you to Daybreaks for bringing her to us.

Our sweet Lilah, you were so very gentle and loving.

How we miss you and look forward to seeing you again, together with Grandma and Granddad, at Rainbow Bridge.

Mama, Papa, Chloe and Lily.

Happy Belated Birthday Delilah! I'm sure you had a wonderful day. Sending love to your family. XX

Thank you Kate - We miss seeing you too. Lilah has had a lovely day in the sunshine; lots of fuss and a huge pig's ear. Bet Twiggy had a lovely Birthday with you, too. Lots of love to you, Twiggy and Skip. Xxxx

Delilah! Happy Birthday! Sending you my cuddle tonight :) Lots of love to you. Nicola and Brian we miss seeing you all at the kennels, but so pleased you are enjoying your new life in Dorset. Love Kate, Twiggy and Skip. Xxx

Thank you Melysa. We are loving the country life in Dorset - but miss you all too. Xx

Happy Birthday, Delilah!
We miss you Nicky!
Hope you both are now settled in and happy! x

Happy Birthday to our beautiful, sweet Lilah. We love you so much. xx

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you youngster Have a lovely time in your new home too..sounds like you are one lucky girl x x

Happy birthday Delilah xxx

Happy Birthday Lilah! Hope you have had a great day! Xx xx

Happy Birthday lovely Lilah! So pleased to hear you are loving your new home. :)) Xxx

Hope you have had a happy birthday, I bet you have been spoilt, enjoy the countryside and your new garden.
We hope you all enjoy your new home.

Happy Birthday beautiful! I'm sure you have had a lovely day and been spoilt. I hope you are all settling in well. Xx

Happy Birthday to our lovely Lilah. 4 years old today. We moved to the countryside this week and Lilah loves it! She has been tazzing round the garden, laughing. One happy girl. Xxxx

It's so lovely to hear how well Tess is doing and reminds how much more we have still to look forward to - thank you. She and Delilah do sound very alike. Each small step is so rewarding. X

Delilah sounds so much like Tess, she still gets nervous with passing buses and if a cyclist whizzes past but they sometimes startle me. I'm sure Delilah will progress as fast or faster than Tess with all the love she will be getting now. Tess is still surprising us, she has now decided she likes going upstairs and will go up at every chance she gets just to go in every room and look through the front windows. We love her to bits as well and I think she knows it too.

Thank you PamD. Delilah is a sweet, gentle girl. She has settled well in our home but is still very nervous when out and about. It is quite an ordeal for her simply to walk to the top of our road. However, after just one week she has progressed so much; she froze every time a car passed by but now carries on walking, managing to ignore them. Cyclists, joggers and groups of people still frighten her but with love, time and patience I know she will continue to blossom and learn that the world isn't such a scary place after all. She is a very special girl. We love her so much and are so very proud of her. X

Great to hear about Lass,now Delilah. Dunc walked her on the recent Stratford upon Avon Walk. She was so nervous afterwards she jumped into the back of our car where she sat with Dunc sitting on the tailgate until Norman came to collect her. Dunc got really fond of her and is so pleased that she has found a loving and understanding home.

So happy for you Nicola and Brian what a great girl for you both good luck to you all xxx

Awwwwwwwwww Nicky, I'm sooooooo happy for you. Can't wait to hear how Delilah is getting on. Many happy days together. xxxxx

im so so pleased for you, love Caroline Gracie and Fred xxxxx

Aww congratulations, but you know one is never enough ........ Xx

Thank you so much to everyone for all your good wishes. When Brian and I popped into the kennels on Christmas Eve, little did I know I would have my heart stolen. Delilah is beautiful and the best Christmas present ever. X

It was wonderful to see Delilah officially adopted by Nicola and Brian today. So very happy for you all, Delilah is a special girl and now she has a very special home. Lots of love Kate Xxx

Hi Nicola, you kindly came out to our house to meet us and see how dreamboat Monty (Khani) was doing. You said at the time that you so wanted a greyhound of your own and that the only obstacle was puss. So glad this is resolved and you now have beautiful Delilah in your home. Looking forward to meeting you again on the Stratford Walk (just missed you at Pets at Home recently). Take care and wishing you and Delilah much fun in the future. Bravo! Sarah J x

Oh Wow! What fantastic news! I've just got really emotional. I'm so, so happy for you all! Brilliant!! X

Congratulations in finnally choosing a beautiful grey. We wish you all the best. John and mary x

Harryracer xx

We met Lass during one of our visits, very shy and timid indeed. So pleased to hear she is coming out of her shell, she must be happy and with the right family :-)

Thank you MomofTess for you lovely comments. Lass is already beginning to come out of her shell and even has a cheeky side! She is adorable. Oscar has moved 'upstairs' but hasn't left home, which is good news..... I love reading about Tess and her progress. She is a beautiful girl. X

Lass sounds absolutely lovely and she is very pretty. Our Tess needed to be coaxed out of her bed when she first came to us but now she has changed completely, she plays with toys and even barks sometimes. Doesn't care for cats though. We don't have any but neighbours do so we have to be careful in case they are silly enough to come in our garden. Hope you and Lass enjoy each others company and Oscar doesn't get stressed.

Ooh, how lovely for all of you...we just need Oscar to fall for beautiful Lass now and who knows?!! :))) Xxx

Beautiful Lass came to stay with us yesterday for a few day. She is adorable; so very shy, sweet and gentle, and naturally very wary of the outside world. Oscar the nervous cat keeps popping his head round the living room door to have a closer look at her, which is a good sign for him, but he's in and out of his flap like a yo yo! We cat tested Lass at the kennels yesterday and she was brilliant. She slept through and has been clean overnight and eaten her breakfast. As I write she is sitting happily on her bed in the living room; she takes a little coaxing from it. As Harry Racer has said I feel sure that with plenty of love, time and patience she will come out of her shell and be a wonderful companion. Thank you Lass for being such a lovely house guest, plus I get to give you as many real cuddles as I like. xxx

Hope it is your turn soon to find a loving family. Once you are settled in a new home your new owners will realise that your nerves will diminish and you will be a lovely pet. We have a nervous grey at home but she has plenty of character and is very precious to us. Plse don't miss Rosa too much, just turn the charm on. Luv Harryracer xxx

Hi blueangel, she does seem much happier now doesn't she. Rosa is looking after her! Xxx

Lass seem to be coming out of her shell a bit is now wagging her tail and came of her bed for a treat well done Lass xxx

Lass looks like Breeze, she also can be timid, may be it is a worry gene as Lass'S dad and Breeze's mum were litter mates. Xxx

Great - thanks a lot. Lass is quite timid but at the Racing Kennels she soon came out of her shell and has quite a character. When she gets to know you she will be full of love for you and whoever has her at home. She is absolutely adorable and will be happy with lovely Rosa. Thankyou again. Love to Lass (Honey) and Rosa xx

Hi harryracer, thought you might like to know your girls have been reunited and are happily sharing a kennel together...just like old times! Rosa and Lass are both gorgeous. Lass is a little timid at the moment, hopefully being with Rosa, (who is not timid in anyway!) will help her to settle. Kind regards Xxx

This little girl is a beauty was timid today but sure with the love of everyone at Daybreaks she will come out of her shell in no time bless her xxx

You are a beauty. Hopefully you won't be waiting long.
Axx

Hope you have settled in (Honey) - her pet name in kennels. She is a gorgeous girl, was very nervous when we first had her as a racer but soon blossomed and quite a character, however quite nervous around small children, may suit home with older children. We had her the same time as Rosa and the two girls were kennelled together. They finished racing within one week of each other and are now in the Trust at the same time - quite a coincidence. You are a lovely girl and we will miss you when we visit the racing kennels - at least we managed to give you a walk yesterday. Yet another grey we are sorry not to have at home - house not big enough. Hope you get a lovely home, you certainly deserve it. Love Harryracer xx

Oh wow, is this just one adorable girl.... spent time in the office having cuddles and had a few admiring visitors too! :-) Have a feeling this little girl will be off to her new home very soon!

Welcome to Daybreaks little Lass. Bet you won't be there too long before choosing a new family. Big hugs gorgeous, T, J & R xxx

Ooh you are beautiful. xx
