2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Another scorcher of a day - we really are having a proper Summer this year! It was an early start for Ruth who was on the Vet run taking Hugo and Mandy in for their neutering ops this morning. It was a typically quiet Friday, so I enjoyed another morning of ambling around the sand run with the boys & girls. This morning saw pretty little Maggie off to her new home, wishing her and her new family many happy years ahead. It was very warm this afternoon, so I think the Greys were very happy there was no one to walk them!! We had lots of grooming and cuddles - but they did enjoy lying on the cool tile floors of their kennels best!!! Many thanks for the donations of duvets & bedding which arrived late this afternoon - we are very well stocked at the moment and the fabulous weather means we can dry the washing on the line. Our Greys particularly like the cool cotton sheets we are putting on their beds at the minute. As I left this evening, Ruth was about to brave the Friday traffic to go and collect Hugo & Mandy from the Vet. Well, another weekend is upon us yet again. Fingers crossed that there are some more red signs by the time it is over. Enjoy your weekend one and all, keep yourselves and your doggies cool! Don't forget we have cool coats in stock, they really are good and last for years so are a great investment. Angie xx

Maggie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Collected Maggie today. What can I say, the best day of my life in recent years. She was so well behaved on the journey home. Maggie seems to take everything in her stride (which is more than can be said for me!!). We are so pleased Maggie has chosen us. She is currently laid down in the garden, I'm going to take that as a positive sign. Thank you Ruth for all your help and advice today, we shall keep you updated! Thanks again for our most beautiful grey X

I have to say to the lady who's fiance is a bit scared of a big boy. Every big black boy I have had has been a big teddy bear and very loving and for that matter the big black girl I had was the sweetest happy Grey and such a daddies girl. I do understand him though and the main thing is that hopefully another hound will be given a home by them. Best to have the one who is meant for you. Nina my little lady is Finn's "Domanatrix" LOL definatley in control but he just ignores her. Food is still the most driving force. In fact I thought I had made a breakthrough with him yesterday. He came over when I called him and I went to kiss him on his head, he ducked out of the kiss and had just come over to sniff my mouth to see if I had any goodies eating .Some men may think he has his priorities right lol Love him!

As my fiance isn't too keen on the larger male dogs as they are scary (lol), we will be looking at the weekend for a little girl to rehome and with a new job for my fiance starting next week our working hours suit dog ownership better. Loved meeting Bounty last weekend so hoping she will like us too. Giving you my cuddle today Bounty xxx

Seeing the red signs appear over the photos of Saddle, Roy and Mandy was a great way to start the day! :)) It was another very hot day but the dogs enjoyed their walks in the shady lane this morning, wearing their cool coats. The coats really do help in the hot weather. My three all have cool coats. I bought the first one four years ago and it's still in great condition. 🙂 Carol, one of our long time volunteers popped in especially to see Hugo today. She sat with him in his kennel and by the time she left he was taking treats from her and quite relaxed in her company. He is such a lovely boy and when he is in the right home I'm sure his true character will emerge. Xx Thanks to everyone who helped out today....it was hot!! Xxx

Mummy is finally home! I was looking out for ever car which looked like hers. Then she finally arrived home earlier today. So happy to have her back but I’m keeping an eye on her to make sure she doesn’t leave me again. I hate fans. So I’m trying to fit under a table. It’s not going well I only have my head under. I am next to the fan though so it’s progress. Barney Xx

Oh Nick. There is a family somewhere out there for whom you would be a perfect match. Nick is a big beautiful boy with loads of love to give. He can be vocal in the kennel but he is just a bored I think because when I sat in with him he was super responding to his name and jumping on his bed when I asked him. Spend time with him and he won't disappoint. xx
