Well if I say Tony is now answering to the name Finlay (Fin) and a new bed has been ordered I think I can safely say we are on the list for a FFP tee shirt. My poor husband was just used to getting up at 8am (as Nina our other hound likes a lie in) and Fin the food monster comes into our lives and decides around 6am is a good time to start the day, Never had a Grey who is so fixated with food and I think I will have to ask Ruth for food stamps LOL At the moment his day is still spent looking for food finding food and eating food interspersed with destroying 6 squeaky toys (his second love). What can I say we fall for it every time, cause I am sure at some point we will become his first love, and it doesn't really matter because he has stolen our hearts.

Daddy missed his baby so much and it was only for 1 night. That was the 1st time with out him. Don’t know what I am going to do when I am away for 2 weeks in July. Barney is my pride and joy and we have a lovely bond between us.

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
We had lots of lovely helpers today :)) Thanks everyone. Ruth and Shirley took for his neutering operation and Stella for her vaccination booster first thing this morning. Stella is a really lovely girl. 🙂 Brandy was very lively on his return to the kennels and really enjoyed his dinner! :)) New girls Biza and Sky are very pretty, they are both getting used to their new surroundings. They were a little nervous of the heavy traffic on the Coventry Road when they went out for walks. Lorna bathed a beautiful Golden Retriever this afternoon, very hairy compared to her usual Greyhound clients! :)) Many thanks to the visitors who came along to the kennels with donations of bedding today, very kind of you. x Xxx

Well I have been very quiet today. I’ve just been sad and thinking about my daddy. He’s gone away for a night. It’s not the same without him. At least I have my mummy and my sister! Talking about my sister she said her exams are going well so far and she hopes it continues. Hope this night goes quick. Barney Xx 🙁

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Message from Tim - Gemma's human "Gemma is well on the mend following her recent op. Starting to get her bounce back. At moment looks like she is in a wet t-shirt competition. Also wrecked one of Sue's nighties - on well she is worth it. She and Stanley have been practising on the ramp for the car which Dad finally bought. Gemma doing great on it, Stan slowly but surely. Love to all greys and humans. xx"

Well We went on a 30 minute journey today all the way to have a barbecue. At least I got sausage it was fun. So much fuss and love off everyone. There was a nice park near by where we all had a walk. My family said my confidence has gone up massively! Barney Xx

Saddle
I’m Homed
Saddle came with me to the park for an hour today and I think there was an improvement since last week. He is still very stimulated when he sees other dogs running around but he managed to walk past five small dogs (who were stationary or walking calmly themselves) without reacting. He had a good look but didn't pull or lunge. He seems to cope better when you walk past briskly. Lots of people were interested in him and stopped me to ask about him . When we did stop, Saddle didn't really seem to know how to greet other dogs and can come across as a bit boisterous. However after that initial reaction, he doesn't pay the dog much attention. I think with time and patience he will cope more and more with the excitement of the big wide world. He also met lots of children today and was happy to receive fuss and attention.
