Brae
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Does anyone else have a gorgeous grey who thinks they're a sheepdog? Whenever we mention the 'W' (walk) word, Brae sees us as sheep that need rounding up... even if we spell out the 'W' word, she knows what's coming and moves swiftly from room to room herding us all into the hallway ready for collars and leads to be put on. She's the complete opposite to Rosie who just lies watching the scene from her bed, until the key goes in the door then springs into action! Don't ya just love 'em!

Lorrainewsm my heart breaks for you, I can only imagine how heartbreaking this is for you, but your little girl will find her new home, she is just waiting until the right one comes along, she is such a good special little girl, and she will melt someone's heart just as she did with you. Be strong xxxxxxx

Happy Birthday to my beautiful boy Gent, who turns 13 today. Although it says April was his birthday, we had it confirmed that today is his big day. Although he’s getting creaky now, he’s still loves life and is first to the door when it’s walkies-time. Love you so much Mr G, it’s your big day and there are lots of cuddles geading your way ... which as the big boy you are, you’ll hate!!!!

Ruth took Sid and Skip to be neutered this morning. Poor Skip was so very sleepy when he came back this afternoon. We had to carry him back to his kennel in a duvet. Do hope he will feel much better after a good nights sleep. Xx Sky also went to see the vet for a check up. Thankfully all seems ok with her and nothing serious to worry about. :)) We left tonight leaving two of our new girls paired together in the kitchen kennel and run. They were a little unsettled last night. I have just checked them on the cameras and they are snuggled up together. 🙂 Xxx

My beautiful Serendipity. I was certain that you would have melted someone's heart by now. For anyone looking for a new best friend, Seren is perfect. She lived in our family for 16 months and was perfect in every way. She was around children from as young as 11 months up to 9 years and many ages in between including toddlers as we have many Grand children. She was so gentle with all of them and although when she's in the sand run she will run around like Speedy Gonzalis, in the garden with my Grand children she was an angel and so careful with them. She is absolutely brilliant with all sizes and shapes of dogs, never shown aggression towards them and her favourite things in all the world are to have a good snuggle, she loves her grub and is a total sun worshipper. She has been returned to Daybreaks through absolutely no fault of her own, it was sadly due to my other dog's aggression issues and we are all broken hearted to see her go. She is clean in the house, travels very well in the car (She'll just curl up and go to sleep until she gets to her destination) and went on many adventures in the caravan which she loved. With age comes sensibleness and she knows when she needs to be calm but she has a twinkle in her eye and loves to play and fool around too. Please don't over look my gorgeous girl. She deserves a comfy sofa and a family to call her own.Xx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!

It was an early start yesterday to get all the Daybreaks kids fed and cleaned so they could go out to the walk at Brueton Park. It was a strange feeling having all the inmates out but they had a great time and it resulted in Mr Brandy going out to foster following the walk! Still on site to keep us company was Susie who had fun wandering around the kennels with Foxy whilst we attacked the cobwebs, blitzed the kitchen and other tasks. It all went nuts as soon as the kids started to return from their walk and at the same time we had the 3 new arrivals who needed to be bathed, photographed and settled in. I popped up late on the evening to check on the newbies and to remove their food bowls and this is when I found blood all over the floor of Sky's kennel..... her temperature was fine and whilst in the run she toileted again a large amount of blood. I therefore took her home and kept a close eye on her last night. Many years ago whilst on holiday one of my greys did a wee which looked just like pure blood. Not being a worrier at all I immediately thought she had ruptured something and was going to DIE!!!! Now.... many years of experience under my belt, I am guessing firstly (without the attempt to panic) it is a UTI and therefore a sample taken this morning was taken to the vets when I dropped off Sid and Skip for their castrates. The sample was checked and due to the intensity of blood in her urine she has an appointment this afternoon to be checked over..... better to be safe than sorry. We will keep you posted.... coffee time I think..... 🙂
