So very sad to hear your sweet little Jato has gone to Rainbow Bridge. What a lovely life she had with you all. Such a lovely girl. Lots of love.

Thinking of you. Xxx

So very sad to read this awful news. Sleep tight angel - my thoughts are with your family. X

Oh Jato - I am so sorry but what a wonderful life you had and now you are a star shining bright x

This afternoon we lost little Jato, she was a tiny nervous little lady, with a gentle smile. She was 11 and 1/2, had gone from being our ‘surprise’ baby of three to rolling her eyes at Joe and being an older girlie watching him gallop about not to gently - and joining in with racing down the garden.
She didn’t trust easily, had some unusual worries- the floor and doorways (our own that she used on the regular- my boss has often had a text with a photo of these big eyes trying to find the braves to step into the house, before I could leave for work.
She slipped away on her own terms which is how she did most things, dig her little feet in and that was it no amount of begging, bribing would change her mind. (She was a bit of a mummy’s girl) and she had surgery a few weeks ago to remove what turned out to be a tumour, at her age, and with her general mistrust of people and places it was decided with Jordana at the Willows we would wait and watch - that was a mere seven days ago she left us as suddenly as she arrived. Night night little one. Xxx

So very sorry to hear your news. It must have been so hard to say Good bye to your special boy. Lots of love. Xxx

Wow he survived all that and lived to be 13, it shows the love and care he received from you. So sorry that your time together has ended. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Xx

So very sorry Nicky, run fast and free Archive xxxx

Nicola, I am so very sorry for your loss. He had the most wonderful life with you and whar a brave resilient hound he was. Thinking of you and sending our love and hugs. Run fas and free handsome hound. Jo and the furry four. Xxx

Yesterday we lost Archive- although he wasn’t a Daybreaks hound, He lead us to Daybreaks’s where we adopted both Breeze and Jato. He loved the Stratford walks. He always wanted to be up front. He had a spinal stroke four years ago, which damaged his back leg we had his leg amputated twelve months after his stroke.
He turned thirteen in May - just before we found a lump under his jaw, because of the placement, his age and his blood issues it was decided not to look at it - but to care for him and wait. Over the weekend he lost a lot of weight - so our vet came out yesterday he lay on his favourite memory foam bed in the sun watching the birds with his head in my lap. Xxx

Nicky, so glad to hear that Jato is on the mend, it must be such a relief, they are a worry to us, fingers crossed that she will soon be back to her normal self, much love to you all and a cuddle for Archive xxx

On Monday our little lady went under the knife !! As before I said she had a scan and after the vets had another look they found an area that looked wrong ( easier way for me to discribe ) as no one was sure what was going on we were warned that it may be the worst outcome. Luckily it turned out she had already had surgery and the odd things found on the scan were scarring - so our little one is home she is wearing t - shirts to keep her pointy nose away from her stitches!! We don’t know why her temperature was going up but we know she is ok and guess that she had eaten something in the past that had to be retrieved!!! So fingers crossed she continues to recover as well as she is now. Xxxxx

Aw thank you Nicky, I am so pleased that they haven't found a tumour and everything else is looking good??. I hope your little girl soon starts to feel better when the tablets 'kick in', she is getting the best possible care and I'm sure the vet will get her sorted, she sounds like a bit of a tea leaf bless her, we have got one of those, new boy Douggie will steal anything he can get his paws on, had to remove my specs out of his mouth this afternoon before he ran off with them! Hoping for a speedy recovery for Jato. Take care xxx

So little one had her scan yesterday- there is no definitive answer but the good news is no tumour, spleen, liver, kidneys all are looking good. The only thing that was noticed was her guts seem to be ‘stuck’ together. How the vet explained was they sedated her scanned her at different angles carried her to X-ray and then they rescanned her and everything around her stomach stayed in the same place though out. So she is still a bit of a mystery she is on painkillers antibiotics and two lots of tablets to sooth her tummy. Next stage is to have a look and vets want to be sure that is the right thing. Of course she did eat lots of duvet not to long ago - and colour catcher sheets have to be counted in and out of the wash, and I once found half of hubbys sock hidden in her bed so I am sure this has added if not caused the problems.
Thanks for your support and most to Shani. Xxxx

Jato is back at the vets today for scans and maybe X-rays, fingers crossed we get an answer we can deal with. Xxx

Fingers crossed for a quick recovery. Xx

Oh no Nicky - how Jato starts to improve..... don't like hearing about poorlies...... x

Aw Nicky, I am so sorry to hear that Jato is not feeling well, poor baby, I hope the vet can find what is wrong with her, keeping my fingers crossed and sending you all positive thoughts, please let us know how she gets on at the vet, take care xxxxx

Oh no...poor Jato. Do hope the vet can find out what's going on. Sending lots of love Xxx

We have a poorly Jato - she has had a very high temperature and unfortunately the vet is having trouble finding out why. She has had a couple of nights in as fever has been dehydrating her - she is home at the moment but not herself at all, we have a scan on Friday hopefully something will show up. Xxx

I imagine that so many greys have gone though Daybreaks that’s you have become confused Ladyvictoria, normal is not a word we use for Jato! . Xxx

Hi Nicky, yes everything is going well between Dexter and his new brother Douggie, they don't have that special bond like Dexter and Jack had but they get along, Dexter seems much better now he has a little friend. Douggie is such a sweet natured boy and I'm sure they both benefit from the others company. Xxxxxx

Good news for Jato, hope she will soon be back "normal" :) Xxx

Thanks Shani, she has been a worry. How’s things with you - How’s Dexter getting on with his new friend? Xxxx

Nicky, I am so relieved to hear that Jato is now over the worst and is getting back to her normal self, i am sure she is getting lots of extra TLC xx

Just got back from the vets who has signed Jato off - she was first admitted two weeks ago, and hasnt eaten properly since then. She is eating better. She still has antacids as of course she did eat duvet ! But they are happy she is going the right way - as we are she was much better on Saturday when we got up almost over night! Her behaviour is more herself to - chatting to next doors dog, watching over the roads cat through the gate, going mad every morning when lady with the dog whistle walks across the field behind our house - all the things that jato fits into her day ! Not feeling up to the chores yet hiding washing that is dropped in her bed, bundling all and any rugs she can find into tidy heaps rather than flat on the floor, oh and washing all the bowls after they finish. Xxx

Lots of love to Jato, hope she will soon be eating properly again. Xxx

Hope all goes well xx

Thanks Shani, all kinds of tests being done, it’s v quiet in the house. Xxx

Poor Jato, hope she is feeling better soon xxxxxx

Jato is back at the vets ! Only a small offering on the first day back and being a lazy hound why eat your food when a nurse will syringe it in !!! Easy. But seriously she hasn’t eaten enough to keep a mouse going and has lost a kilo in the last week (she won’t miss it a little porky) and Sunday we decided she was dehydrated so back on the fluids,

Great to hear Jato is back home with you. :) Xxx

So pleased Jato is home and well, little monkey!!!! Xxxxx

Jato is home ! She has promised not to eat anymore bedding.
Bless her she was sent home before they were completely happy the vet wanted her to have a poo before she came but Jato is such a nervous girlie she couldn’t go away from home !!! Less than 5 mins and she was in the garden doing what the vet has spent 24 hours waiting for. Now she is sleeping. Xxx

Oh no Nicky, I am so sorry to hear that your little Jato is not well, bless her, they really do worry us at times, hopefully everything has "gone through", and she will be at home with you soon. Take care - Shani

Sending lots of love to your little Jato. Do hope she will soon be back at home with you and making lots of noise! Xxx

Little Jato is staying at the vets for a second night - she opened the cover on her bed and opened up the duvet and ate some of the ‘fluff’ - she has been very sick, X-ray and a scan and we think all duvet is out - but she has to stay in until she has eaten (food - not bedding) and everyone is happy it has moved all the way through!!
It’s very quiet here she may be the tiddly one but she is the loudest. Hugs to our baby toady. Xxx

Yesterday I noticed how grey Jatos eyebrows are - and have looked back at her photos on here and if it wasn’t for wonky ears you wouldn’t know her - must be stress full living here!! I will try and send an updated photo ,She is so nosy if she sees a camera or phone out all you get is up close of her nose where she is “looking” Breeze smiles and poses so have more of her. Xxx

As it is soon to be Christmas -Breeze and me is doing our shopping - we has asked our human sister to call at the kennels and collect a big calendar for our mummy - every year we buys her dis - but I said dis year we could gets her piggies ears -no Jato- says Breeze well Archive is in de hospital she is thinking she is in charge!! Any ways if you lovely ladies can keeps us a calendar our slave -sorry sister will be da Friday afternoon - thanks, lubs Jato. X

We hopes you had a nice walk - it would have been very soggy.
We didn't come cos our Archive is back in da hospital, he didn't have a disk problem but has a clotting issue in his blood which has left a clot in his spine - he is v poorly so mummy didn't feel up to bringing us out in da rain - Xxx

Lovely to hear you have Archive back home with you. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Xxx

So pleased to hear Archive is on the mend. Jato, Breeze, look after your brother, he needs you xxxxxx

Thanks to everyone who sends lubs to Archive - mummy wents to work today and came home really late (daddy had to feeds us) and when she comes back she had Archive in the car!!! We was very pleased to be together again. Now mummy says he didn't slip a disk but had a Spinel Stroke - this sounds worse but it will get better he just has to take things easy - dat will be hard for a 9 yr old greyhound but he will try! Me and Breezie don't know why he went to hospital for a stroke cos we had lots at home and cuddles - he is funny. Lubs Jato x

Hugs for my sisters- hoping you find homes very soon. We all hope to be at next months stratford walk, (this is where I found a family to adopt ) so if you are still at Daybreaks ask Auntie Ruth if you is allowed out to play!!. Loves Jato. Xxx

Jato came with us today to Stratford, She was nervous at first but as the morning went on she got more relaxed. Enjoyed her sausage at the end !!

So you persuaded hubby to go to three well done! Look forward to seeing you on the fund raisers Wendy, Jed and Lottie.

Love your homing photo little one, so glad you have family to show you the way. Be happy - best wishes to you all. x

So pleased for Jato, sounds like she has found a lovely home. Be happy pretty one xxxx

What a lovely family Jato has! Xxx

Great photo be happy Jato xxx

We have given Jato her forever home, as you can see from the photo she has wasted no time getting comfy on the beds, Archive to the left and Breeze is on the right. She is a tiny poppet and is so very shy - men in seem to worry her, but she is a bit of a daddys girl going and standing just behind him and waiting for fuss. She wont yet come to us for fuss or treats we have to go to her but she is getting braver all the time. On her walks she dances along looking everywhere at once, Falling leaves are very interesting not as interesting as the squirrels that are behind the leaves. She has changed over to the same food as the other two with no problem, and seems quite happy on it. See you at the stratford walk -hope I am bit better at walking three by then if not I shall be wrapped in three leads!!!Xxx

Well done lovely Jato, beautiful photo with your new family. I always knew there was a fun loving happy little girl inside trying to get out. It's greyt to see that happy hound has come through at last. Enjoy your retirement darling,its so deserved xx

Well done Jato xxxx

This morning three wagging dogs were waiting at the bottom of the stairs, up until today Jato has slept on the beds in what used to be our utility room - now called the dogs bedroom, and waited for me to go to her. She is very nervous on her last walk we were followed by a man, in a hoodie with a very big beard one of these upset her so today with lead and muzzle on her and leads on the other two - she couldn't get up so took her lead and muzzle off and left her at home, as we went down the road I looked back and there was my 16 year old son and Jato following us- she had got up after we left, let him put her lead and muzzle on and gone with him- most shocking she had got him away from an x-box. Xxx

So pleased to hear you're settling well Jato...wishing you a very happy life! :) Xxx

So pleased to hear Jato is starting to have fun! You have a super little girl...do hope she and Breeze will be good friends. Xxx

Clever girl Jato! It's all a bit strange I'm sure, but you've got a lovely sister to show you the way - relax, enjoy and be happy. xx

Hi NMD07 - Jato was 28.5kg when we last weighed her x

can you tell me how heavy little Jato is - as you know car problems so cant get her out the village to weigh her, dont want to turn her into a pudding. Thanks Norman see you there. x

Well Jato came home monday lunchtime, Thanks to my brother who drove us as my car boot locked and wouldn't unlock.) She has been very good- followed me around on monday then took to "her" bed -its in the corner of a big pile of beds and pillows, and she has not moved far ! Isnt keen on going in the garden but Breeze wants to play when outside and will run about shouting so that did worry her a bit. She has been playing with the toys again mainly ones near the bed, Has eaten all meals and been clean in the house. Ignore everything I just tpyed looking out the window Jato is running zoomies round the lawn on her own!! Keeps popping in to look at me then off again. Xxx

Yay, go Jato go :-)). I hope it all goes well xxx

So happy for Jato! Xxx

How lovely Jato, your sofa await. Well done beautiful xxxx

Lovely to see that red sign. Well deserved for a very sweet little girl. xx

Yay Jato reserved ! That's great news Well done girlie You are gorgeous Someone will have themselves a fantastic little friend x x :))

Come on Jato, it must be your turn......! :-)) xxx

Ruth, Mobile cover is rubbish , will ring you before I leave Monday morning. Thanks Nicky. So vv excited

I called in today and went straight to see lovely Jato. She was so excited to see me in her kennel and her tail was wagging like mad.About a hundred kisses later she came out for a walk. I was thrilled when she did not back away and was happy for me to give her plenty of fuss outside too. I think the loving happy little Jato is starting to come through even more now.Add to this the fact Jato is such a pretty girl,my only surprise is that she is still waiting for her forever home.My electronic cuddle for you little poppit xx

Whenever I have met this lovely little girl she has edged away from me just a bit nervous. I saw her again today and she is always very happy to see me in Kennels with a waggy tail and lots of affection. I am convinced there is a happy loving dog just trying to come out and with the right home she will become a super gentle loving companion. Please someone give her a chance xx

Lovely jato went in the Stratford walk today. Such a sweety, be patient and the right home will come along :-) xxx

She's a little cracker, just waiting for the right person to cast her spell on, love her :-)) xx

Can't believe lovely little Jato is still at the kennels...she is nervous when she first meets new people but she has so much love to give and is such a happy soul...sure there is someone's heart just waiting to be stolen by her! Xxx

What a wonderful, funny girl Jato is! When she and Ronny are waiting for their breakfast she chases him round and round the run and "talks" as if to tell us to hurry up! On Tuesday afternoon we heard Ronny having a little grumble...we checked the camera....despite all the room on the bed Jato was determined to cuddle up right next to Ronny, she succeeded and Ronny being the gentleman he is let her. :)) The family who offers her a forever home will be very lucky indeed! Xxx

Jato came on the Stratford walk today and was absolutely fine. She walked with Angel and seemed quite happy with all that went on. She's a fantastic small greyhound and just needs time to let her relax and come out of her shell. :-)

I agree with Jembob...it would be great if Jato and Ronny found a home together. They just love each other so much! Xxx

I can't believe the difference in Jato in one month. She was very timid when she arrived but today she was such a good girl on our walk. Her and Ronny are really good for each other - I hope that they can get a nice home together.

Hope Jato is feeling better after her dental, what a super new photo, love those ears girlie xxxxxx

Jato...what a super photo of you! Xxx

Love this little girl :-)

A cuddle for Jato tonight...Xxx

I have just collected Jato from Fivelands where she had 20 teeth out today - poor baby.... She is currently back at our house, has eaten a big bowl of Burns with fresh chicken and has been happily pottering around, exploring the house and garden. She has found the armchair too!!!!

Whilst we were at the vets we met Wispa, Ollie and Sacha all with their separate owners - it was great seeing our previous Daybreaks residents and all looking so well :-)

You get our cuddle today Jato. Hope all goes well at the vets with your dental. Big hugs beautiful xxxx

We met Jato today on the Stratford walk. Such a lovely sweet girl. A bit nervous just needs to get her confidence :-)

Bless her - she is very nervous! She wasn't too happy about the traffic on the A45 but once she got going she was ok. A very sweet little girl. xx

See you at the weekend Jato. You get our hug tonight.

Such a nervous girl, don't worry little one you will be cared for at Daybreaks :) x
