2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
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..... 🙂

Florence is not wearing her collar this evening (flea treatment applied to back of neck), how come she looks much bigger than usual!?! We can only assume that lots of her is usually hidden behind a 1.5" martingale! Xxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
I had the pleasure of bringing a couple of past Daybreaks residents to the kennels for a pamper session with Jess today. Steffie and Bobby are both very handsome black lads and it was brilliant to see how happy they are and how much their respective owners love them. Homes such as theirs are what we dream of for every retired Greyhound. Xxx

Skip

This lovely lad came with me to Brueton Park today. After only having arrived yesterday, everything was very new and exciting. He walked well and had to be at the very front for most of the walk ( he wasn't afraid to push and weave his way through anytime he fell vehind!). He stuck his head in every bush as well as sniffed every tree. I think he thoroughly enjoyed being out and about. He needed help getting in the car but was fine on the way back. He's a quick learner! Good luck with finding your forever home x

Sid
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I had the pleasure of walking gorgeous boy Sid at the GGGW today! He is such a handsome lad and really does turn heads wherever he goes 🙂 He loves people and gets on fantastically with other greys, a little bit reactive to non greys as Shirley has mentioned, more so the small fluffies he saw running around off lead which is understandable , but nothing a little bit of training and patience couldn't fix, he's just a curious boy and wants to say hello! He's an affectionate soul who loves to lean, and will most definitely make a fantastic pet. xx

Nick
I’m Homed
This fab lad attended the GGGW with me today, although strong on the lead, all he wants to do is be upfront to see everything first. He did get excited with dogs off lead, but no aggression was seen at all, think he just wants to play with everyone... He was fine with all dogs if introduced once he had stopped bouncing... If your after a dog to keep you fit.. Nick is the dog for you. X

This girl accompanied me on the GGGW today and what a dream. She was not bothered by any kind of dog, even when they were running off lead past her... She walks fantastic on the lead and loves cuddles... She really is no trouble at all. Please do not be put off by her age, she is so much like a 3 year old, she would fit into any home. X

Sunny (Sully)
I’m Homed
Today I had the pleasure of walking Sully round Brueton Park again on the GGGW. This boy is a delight to be with, he's got a zest for life and loves to be out and about. He has excellent manners and greets everyone and all dogs like a gentleman. Today he met a French bulldog puppy who he greeted with a wagging tail and a gentle sniff nose to nose. He saw some off lead dogs running today but again although he looked at them there was no reaction from him at all he was just happy to be out on the walk. Whoever adopts this lad will be getting a super addition to their family. Sully is a happy,friendly and affectionate and an all round super hound. His lovely black coat sparkled in the summer sun today too. i just love him xx
