Sully so good you had a lovely walk in the park this morning, there are so many new things out in the world to discover aren't there? Well done for being such a good boy - and I hope you said a big thank you to Alan for taking you on your first exciting adventure. x

Hi everyone,Sully here. I am very greytful for Alan taking me to the Brueton Park Walk today. I had a super time finding my way out in the big wide world. I did find myself getting a bit excited when I first came out of my kennel but this didn't last too long and I soon settled down in the car on my to the park. We had a lovely walk round with many of my hound friends.I did see some funny dogs who were small and not greyhounds running around, I gave them all a slight glance and carried on uninterested in them as I had so much to see and many wees to do! When we stopped on the way round I made sure I did plenty of leaning in true greyhound style. Well i'm relaxing now back in my kennel after a long drink. I did hear people say what a good boy I was,well I won't argue with that. I just want to be someones best friend,why not come and see me and maybe we can go for walks. Hope to see you soon,love Sully xxx

Thanks lisa 1875 for taking Rory out this morning. He's my current favourite, my current phone screensaver and I love him to bits! I agree he is a lovely chap, and he makes me smile when he "talks" to you - we have quite lengthy conversations on occasion! Such a friendly boy, I cant quite understand why he's had no interest shown in him yet. Big cuddles to a special boy. xx

We had the pleasure of taking gorgeous Rory to Bruton park today. What a lovely chap he is. He wanted to join in with the fun when he saw other dogs running off lead but he understands no and walked beautifully. He liked the trip in the van with our two and likes children and squeaky toys ????. Love him. X

A damp morning which changed into a very pleasent afternoon. 🙂 Shirley came in to tidy up the plants in the kennels, she got distracted several times by a certain young man call Brandy who was sitting out in one of the runs. After a lovely groom she took him into the sand run for a play. 🙂 Needless to say she didn't get her planting finished! Thanks to everyone who came in to help today. :)) It was great to see Seren/Jingle today. She is such a sweet girl. It you would like to meet her or any of our fabulous boys and girls please pop into the kennels. If anyone is looking for the boomerang that was in the sand run, I have a confession to make...I threw it and sadly it didn't come back! I will go and look for it on the other side of the fence next week, sorry! 🙂 Xxx

I am very lucky to be Sophie’s mum. She is the most loving and playful companion, every day shows us something interesting with her around. All the family love her and she’s spoilt with cuddles (as she should be). Thanks so much to Ruth and all the team at Daybreaks, you do the most fantastic job and every adoption into the big, wide world spreads the word further to those that don’t know, and haven’t before encountered. that greyhounds are the best of breeds.

Where did that day come from?!?!?! The rain was of monsoon proportions and we got drenched cleaning and feeding this morning. Ruth then battled the traffic and downpours to take little Sky off to the Vets to be speyed. The rain deterred visitors and volunteers alike, so thanks to James for braving the elements to help us out today. Even if there had been plenty of bodies today, there was no way the doggies were going out on walks - so we did plenty of grooming and health checks and generally spending quality time with the boys & girls. Sadly it was too wet and chilly for Brandy & Stella to take up their usual positions in the runs - poor Brandy really doesn't like being in his kennel and says he would prefer a big, comfy sofa please! There was a brief respite from the rain for a couple of hours this afternoon, so all the Greys had some play time in the sand run, all except Rory who had a poorly paw. Susie is such a playful girl who loves to throw the toys around and chase them, Horse also has great fun chasing after the toys. Brandy had a lovely play in the run and was as good as gold coming when called when his turn was over, he obviously thrives on human company. I washed all their feet after they had finished in the run with some lovely warm water, and I suspect they enjoyed that almost as much as they did playtime! They just love to lean and have a fuss, bless them. This afternoon saw the lovely Biza off to her new home with a lovely big brother for company. Wishing them all many happy times ahead. During feeding time this afternoon the gorgeous Sid arrived from his trainer's kennels. My what a stunner he is, he bounced through the gate, polished off 2 bowls of dinner and wagged his tail a lot!! He is a huge handsome brindle boy who seems very friendly. We looked at Rory's paw after we had closed and Ruth dug a huge piece of grit out of his pad - no wonder the poor boy was limping! He was a very brave boy during the procedure and enjoyed his treats afterwards. Another weekend is upon us and I sincerely hope the weather improves in time for the walk in Brueton Park on Sunday. Have a great Bank Holiday one and all. Angie xx
