Ashley
Over the Rainbow Bridge
We are delighted to say that Ashley is no longer reserved. He was such a good boy while we sorted the adoption papers (well maybe the stuffed crocodile that he chewed the face off wouldn't agree!) We saw him running (in the sand run) for the first time. He looked so happy. He is an absolute joy. xxx

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well last night was just crazy. No thunder or rain, actually nothing at all. Not one drop. I was panting scared stiff. My sister finally got me to drink water when she got my food bowl stand. They put me in the bedroom to rest but the only thing was I didn’t come out at all. It was a horrible weekend. My bleeding leg has stopped and now looks better. At least I won’t be going to the scary vets. Had me worried. Well I was already worried to be honest. My dad put me back in the car this morning and we drove for about 5 minutes I thought we were finally going home but no we were at this shopping place with a garden centre. I was a bit calmer there. I suppose I was better because I have had practice from my family taking me to Malbicks. We had a look round the shops and went into the garden centre. My mummy brought me a weird looking bottle with a little bowl at the top. Apparently I’m supposed to drink from it. No idea if I will just seems strange to me. Then we had another 5 minute drive, thought we were going home this time but NO we went back to the scary looking lorry thing that is like a house. We got In and I ran to the bedroom and drank water and stayed there while my family were having lunch. My daddy came back and told me to get out and that we are going somewhere I liked. He had to drag me because I thought he was going to take me somewhere but home, I didn’t trust where we were going. When we got in the car it was another 1 hour drove and then I realised we were finally home. Yay. At last! Barney Xx

Petal

I took the lovely Petal on the Brueton Walk today, she was really good and walked lovely on the lead, the only time she pulled was when the little fluffy doggies kept running past her, poor girl, they really did wind her up... Once out of sight, she happily walked past dogs that were on leads... She travelled fantastically and happily went to sleep in the back of the van with cillabella. She really is a character. Xxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Well what a funny day... Andy got in early as some of our residents were a little worried about the thunder... So by the time I got in, top block was nearly clean.... Whilst Andy went to check on the fur boss, Foxy and crew, I carried on cleaning.. It was then time to get ready for the Brueton Walk, with 6 of our residents (one of which was our current longest stayer Rory) getting there feet ready for a lovely hour walk... All behaved extremely well with Roy and Saddle not reacting much at all to small dogs running loose, well done Jess, you really are a calming influence on them. The residents left at the kennels all went on a lovely walk and had grooms afterwards. On our return, all hounds were happy of a lie down, surprisingly that also included Saddle and Roy who decided that Andy needed to go give them a cuddle so they could go to sleep across his lap... Due to the weather, we couldn't do afternoon walks but managed to give them some time in the run..... After dinner all the residents happily went straight to sleep, here's hoping the thunder stays away, so Ruth and Andy don't have to calm 16 stressed dogs down... Poor babies, it isn't nice seeing them like that. Sleep tight all, hope everyone gets a rest full sleep. X

Finlay (Tony)
I’m Homed
Lovely to hear that the walk went well and the kennel hounds got a change of scenery and became just doggies out for a walk. Hope that the awful thunder and lightening storms are not upsetting them too much. Our Nina gets in a terrible state with them and fireworks to. No amount of Bach Flower drops even touch her panic so vet has given us some meds to keep in, which I was very grateful for. Poor girl cannot even think about her dinner. However Finlay said it will be no problem for him to help out by having her share as well.!!! and if anyone out there has the same trouble he could probably pop round to help you out as well.He is gently moving into pet mode now and when I call him over for a fuss and ear rub he no longer checks my hands out first to see if there is a treat in them. He has realized that hands can give you a lovely calming feeling just by their contact that is as good as a treat, well almost ! lol I wish I lived nearer to Daybreaks so I could help out but can I say thank you to all you guys who give up so much time to these lovely Greys' xx

We have had this girl a year now and she has come on so well, really proud of her. She was so timid and scared of her own shadow but to see her now is fantastic. Being able to let her off the lead and see her run is the most amazing feeling, at times it hasn't been easy but love her to bits and I hope you would be happy with how far she had come x

I went to Brueton Park for my walk today and there were loads of other Greyhounds there! I had a fantastic time meeting them all and having lots of fuss from the big people. Mom tried to get TC to adopt Roy and Saddle, Rory, Sully, Susie or Petal but he had his 'No!' face on. Hoping they get their forever sofas soon. Florence xxx

Well today has been very dramatic. We had an hour drive all the way to a caravan. It honestly looks like a lorry with stairs. We were supposed to go at Easter but it was cancelled because of the flood. There is a lot of thunder which caused a lot more drama. I ended up under a caravan next to ours. I was stuck. I caught my leg on a brick. The leg I caught it on was the leg that was bleeding before which means it started bleeding again. Good thing my sister packed all the first aid stuff. Not a good start for a little holiday. Still thunder to come 🙁 Barney Xx
