2019 Daybreaks Diary!

What a nice day that was - cleaning and feeding was done in a trice thanks to Richard & Shirley and the early arrival of volunteers from HSBC. Plenty of help meant morning and afternoon walks, as well as health checks, grooming and playing - our boys & girls were well and truly spoiled today!! It was great to see the change in the lovely Stella since her arrival last week - she is a happy, friendly girl and I'm so happy she has been reserved already. Seren spent the day in the office, what a treasure she is, she is such a pretty little girl and so good. With so much help I was able to tackle the drains and gulleys in the kennel blocks. It is very satisfying to have a real good spring clean and leave everything fresh and smelling of relaxing lavender (yes, perhaps I am just a little bit strange, lol!!!). Brandy & Petal seem to be getting on fine, although he is still a little stressed. Hopefully with time he will relax and realise all is well and he's in a safe place. Was good to see Ruth this morning, although she is still in considerable pain - I finally persuaded her to go home this afternoon and try to rest, not easy when you're in pain, here's hoping she starts to feel much better soon. Well yet another week has flown by, I really don't know where the time is going! There are viewings booked for the weekend, so keep your fingers crossed. Enjoy your weekend everyone. Angie xx

I just want to send loving thoughts to Ruth and Foxy. When Nina stayed with Ruth and I gave her the bag of goodies and a toy was in it Foxy went to the bag and surprise, surprise he took the toy! not the food.The flesh may be weak but his spirit is still young. Lets face it we are all 21 in our heads whatever age and Foxy has been such a special boy who overcame great odds to live a wonderful life with Ruth. I am sure he would love me to say to her "Thanks mum" Don't think my girl would have minded trading me in for her when I went to collect her. Ruth, you rock ! x

Thank you all for your kind words, it really means a lot. Lovely Ruth took the time this morning to email me to let me know that Seren had a settled night and a lovely run this morning which I thought was really nice of her as I know her days are filled to the brim already. It was also great to hear that she'd had a lovely day in the office cuddling up with Paddy, she does love a cuddle. The house hasn't been the same today and I know that Daisy has felt it too as she has been very quiet today. I've been recommended an alternative vet who will look further into Daisy's problems and they have lots of the larger investigative equipment on site so we will hopefully start to get some answers as to how best to help Daisy. Thank you so much to everyone at Daybreaks for taking such wonderful care of our girl, you are all amazing and I cannot thank you enough.x

A busy day....with lots of help we made good time with feeding and cleaning. 🙂 Even had time for tea (hot chocolate for me!) before walks! Sue popped in with her gorgeous Deerhound Lizzie. Our first walkers were just returning to the kennels, so we took the opportunity to do a little meet and greet with Lizzie. She is such a calm and gentle girl, met all our residents one by one. They were all great with her with only Petal reacting. She was quite apprehensive, but with some help from Ruth was soon responding well. :)) Brandy has been quite stressed since his arrival with us. We have paired him up with Petal tonight to see if having the company of a pretty girl will help him. 🙂 A lovely couple came to meet the dogs this afternoon and fell in love with Stella. 🙂 Such brilliant news for her! She is a tremendous little girl. :)) Sending big hugs to Foxy. We all know how it feels when our babies are not well. Xxx Thanks to everyone who helped out today. Sara and Louis came in again 🙂 Lyra sends her apologies for disembowelling Louis's new toy!! Xxx

Dear Graham, Shelby was a super lad, being black and a big boy he had to wait quite a while to find a home. Thanks to you he had a great life where he was loved very much. Thinking of you and Ria and sending lots of love, Kate Xxx

Ruth, so sorry to hear Foxy is unwell and pray that he receives all the care he needs to make a recovery. The same goes for you my love, you really must rest! To Seren - you are loved and a new forever sofa will come soon. To your mom, I hope the cause of Daisy's aggression can be found and sorted. To everyone who has lost their special furry friend recently, you gave them all the love in the world and they gave it back to you. You are the heroes of greyhound rescue along with all the staff and volunteers at Daybreaks. Xxx

Lorrainewsm, so sorry for you but all I can say is clearly what a responsible, wonderful dog owner you are. You've clearly had to make a horrendously heart breaking decision but how brave and like I say, responsible decision you have made. Be proud of yourself as you're helping all concerned and you know daybreaks will sort little seren so you can sort daisy. My heart goes out to you xxx
