Finlay (big tone) says a big thank you to all the lovely people who have sent him good wishes for his new life of leisure, however he says it would have been even more exciting if food had been involved in some way ! lol This morning when he got up he had what I call a "race day" moment (based on my Izzy, now over rainbow bridge) he just took off running as soon as I let him out. Several laps of the garden later and a noise like thunder as he powered past me he ran up to me wagging his tail as if to say "that was my lap of honor to mark my official retirement and hopefully the start of the best times of my life., " !!!!!! x Thank you Ruth & guys at Daybreaks, will miss you (but I'll get over it, now where's my dinner.")

What a warm day! My heart goes out to Brandy who is still quite stressed. In between spending time in the run and having the volunteers groom him, today he spent a period in the magnotherapy unit and it seemed to settle him but in his kennel he is quite stressed. We have tried to pair him with several kennel mates but it is not working..... we are desperate for a foster home for this very loving boy who just needs a bit of TLC and hopefully a sample of home life and assessment would help him find his forever home. If you think you could help.... please call us at the kennels. Stella had a few lumps on her head so today I set to with a needle and cleared them! She is settling so well but unfortunately this morning there was blood on her bed = she has come into season agggghhhhhh!!!!! Her spey booked for Friday has therefore been transferred to Sky, one of the new arrivals from the weekend. I took Sky to the vets today for her vaccination and she met a parrot in the waiting room as well as a small fluffy and she didn't react to either. She is adorable albeit a bit nervous so we are going to give her a couple more days to settle and then see how she reacts to the cats. She travelled well in the van and is very very clean in her kennel. I have added some photos from yesterday from the Blythe Valley employee walk!

Ruth and Norman took Saddle, Roy, Susie, Rory, Biza and Nick to Blythe Valley Business Park today for lunchtime walks with some of the employees. I believe it was part of a keep fit at work exercise. It was a warm day so all came back rather hot and tired, including Ruth and Norman! All the dogs seemed to have enjoyed themselves, nice for them to have a change of scene. As there were only a few dogs left to walk back at the kennels they had an extra long walk. Horsey seemed to enjoy the walk as it was a circular route and he didn't have to turn back to return to Daybreaks, bless him! Brilliant news for Tony, now called Finlay. Once again a big thank you to his new family for failing miserably and joining the FFP club! :)) Lucy was back helping at the kennels after being poorly with Pneumonia, it was so good to have her and lovely Ellie back. Had forgotten what a food maniac Ellie is!! :)) Great to see Sara and Louis again today too. Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. Xxx

So went to see the man in blue again today (no need to shudder, didn't even tremble in the waiting room!). He says he is pleased I am a lot less limpet and has discharged me back to the care of mom and TC! My walks are getting longer and I no longer have to wear a boot..... Lots of love to Fin and his new family, mom had a soft spot for you and so did auntie Samantha. Lubs to all, Florence xxx

Well done Finlay, you waited a while but it sounds like it has been worth the wait. Be a good boy and enjoy your retirement. Oh and all the nice food, just not your new mums breakfast.
