2019 Daybreaks Diary!

Brandy spent most of today in one of the runs. He was quite settled and watched all that was going on from a nice cosy bed. He had another session in the Magnotheraoy unit this morning, which seemed to help calm him. He was very quiet when we left him this afternoon. He does like to be around people. 🙂 In the run next to him was little Stella. She also had a comfy bed from which to watch the world go by. 🙂 Horsey walked really well on his walk today....we have decided our young work experience lad, Declan should take him home as Horse was happy to walk with him without stopping! :)) Thank you so much to everyone for their help with looking after our fabulous doggies today. Ellie once again showed us that you can't leave anything edible around not even for a second where she is concerned...twice she tried her luck with the lovely homemade cake Lucy had brought in :)) Xxx

You know the theory that a relationship has reached a comfortable stage when one is able to "break wind" in each others company without feeling embarrassed ? Well I think Finlay has reached that stage and must be very very very comfortable with us. Even Nina won't lie by him LOL And to think I was blaming hubby !!!!!

Finlay (big tone) says a big thank you to all the lovely people who have sent him good wishes for his new life of leisure, however he says it would have been even more exciting if food had been involved in some way ! lol This morning when he got up he had what I call a "race day" moment (based on my Izzy, now over rainbow bridge) he just took off running as soon as I let him out. Several laps of the garden later and a noise like thunder as he powered past me he ran up to me wagging his tail as if to say "that was my lap of honor to mark my official retirement and hopefully the start of the best times of my life., " !!!!!! x Thank you Ruth & guys at Daybreaks, will miss you (but I'll get over it, now where's my dinner.")

What a warm day! My heart goes out to Brandy who is still quite stressed. In between spending time in the run and having the volunteers groom him, today he spent a period in the magnotherapy unit and it seemed to settle him but in his kennel he is quite stressed. We have tried to pair him with several kennel mates but it is not working..... we are desperate for a foster home for this very loving boy who just needs a bit of TLC and hopefully a sample of home life and assessment would help him find his forever home. If you think you could help.... please call us at the kennels. Stella had a few lumps on her head so today I set to with a needle and cleared them! She is settling so well but unfortunately this morning there was blood on her bed = she has come into season agggghhhhhh!!!!! Her spey booked for Friday has therefore been transferred to Sky, one of the new arrivals from the weekend. I took Sky to the vets today for her vaccination and she met a parrot in the waiting room as well as a small fluffy and she didn't react to either. She is adorable albeit a bit nervous so we are going to give her a couple more days to settle and then see how she reacts to the cats. She travelled well in the van and is very very clean in her kennel. I have added some photos from yesterday from the Blythe Valley employee walk!
