Mom loaded me into the car on Friday and we were driving for hours, I thought we might be going to see the 'no longer lumpy but of land' but no. We've come to see uncle Robert, auntie Natasha, Rosa and Acer the boxer in East Sussex. I can't run round on all their land because of what the man in blue (shudder) said, which is not fair, but I have seen lots of bunzies! Lubs to you all especially Alfie's family. Florence xxx

Saddle

Thanks to all who are working with them. They are no worse than Maisie and Monty were when they came home. Look at them now, all sorts of doggie friends small and large, and Off lead too. Just needs patience and reassurance and they will blossom into fun loving pets .

Saddle

Roy and saddle had a fab day out to the park! Saddle is improving lots and he is now okay with larger dogs as we had many of those off lead come running up to us. We’re slowly working on the smaller breeds as these are the ones who excite him the most! We managed to walk past and have lots of other breeds walk past us with only saddle only looking at them but making no noise so there are slight improvements! I’m sure with the help of volunteers this lovely lad will soon follow his brothers idea that we don’t have to get too anxious about other breeds and he can start making some doggy friends 🙂 xx

Stella

What happens in these cases? She is marked so I assume the trainer can be traced and asked about how Stella came to be alone on a country road.

I am so sorry for you. It’s such a painful loss. When Keano died last year I could not tell anyone because I couldn’t get the words out. One of my dear sons, who were both with me and Keano throughout, rang Kate to let her know and she was so kind. You are in my thoughts and prayers, love from Carol xx

Saddle
I’m Homed
I took Saddle to Elmdon Park yesterday to do lots of direction changes again to stop him pulling, and to give him more experience of being near other types of dog. He steadily improved through the time we were there, although still needs more practice. We met some large German Shepherds who were very loud and excitable and Saddle didn't bat an eyelid. He was more interested and reactive seeing smaller dogs and seemed anxious, but if we kept walking past them he coped much better, and we then stopped a few feet further on for me to gently stroke him and praise him, and he stood still for me and was much less reactive. He was definitely better with the other dogs than when I took him out with Roy 10 days ago, and he looked better today in photos that Jess took in the park today with Roy and a staffing sized dog. Onwards and upwards Saddle xx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!

I started this morning with a loving head butt from Sully! He is such a happy boy boy but I saw stars and if you see me with a black eye... I haven’t been fighting!!! A blitz of the kennels out the back which usually holds all our bedding etc meant we could accommodate little Stella and grateful thanks to Angie wielding the paint roller. Earlier she had sloshed some disinfectant down her cleavage so she has been having fun!!!! I’ve been feeling particularly rotten this week and tonight I’ve been diagnosed with shingles so I will be keeping a low profile until I’m a bit better:-(((

Over the Rainbow Bridge
So very very sorry for your loss. Such a terrible disease, I know I lost one of my boys last year. Don't we just love their characters stubborn or otherwise, all so very different. Alfie, run free, run fast, meet with all of our hounds who have crossed the bridge and let them know we think of them every day, and I am sure you will be looking down on those who loved you so very much. God speed beautiful Angel. Xxxx

Ashley
I’m Homed
We took Ashley with us to the kennels to wait for us while we walked some of the dogs yesterday. Whilst he travels well in the car, which is now a mobile dog bed, he wasn't desperately excited to be put in the run, but he did have a nice sniff with his ex kennel mate - the super Susie. He is super with us, fairly good with fellow grey Charlie who he has met three times doesn't seem bothered by other breed dogs, he he happy for me to groom him, clean his teeth, he isn't bothered when I sit on the floor close to him when he's eating, so why does he growl at my lovely dog loving daughter when she is at my house but lays with his head on her lap when in the garden at her house??? Any ideas to nip this in the bud would be greatly welcomed.

I walked the wonderfully pretty Susie yesterday. She is super friendly, walks well on the lead and makes me smile seeing her laying totally relaxed pressed up against the kitchen run with assorted bits of her sticking through the bars!!!! Not very ladylike but very endearing xxxx
