We actually had some sunshine today! :)) It didn't stay very long but it was great while it lasted. :)) Xxx Thanks so much to everyone who came in to walk our residents. They all enjoyed getting a break from their kennels. Our two new girls Selina and Larky are recovering from broken hocks. They are having shorter walks for a while. They are both very cute! Xxx Many thanks to our visitors who brought in donations of bedding, so kind of you. Jaz met two young girls, she was so good with them. Xxx Jaz has gone home today! Wishing her a very happy new life. I will miss her pretty little face and happy waggy tail. Xxx Thanks so much to Jess for all her help today. Her gorgeous lad Koda came in with her; he entertained visitors by manically chasing a ball around the kitchen run.... :)) We have lots of beautiful Greyhounds at Daybreaks, all looking for their forever homes. Please give us a call on 0121 782 7702 if you would like to know more about them. Xxx xxx

Sparky

As Jo said, I took Sparky to the park yesterday. He was as a star. Walked very well and no reaction to other breeds. He wants fuss from everyone and has the softest fur. He's a very handsome chap x

Alan, maybe there could be a sponsored stroll around the sand run for us oldies or a let's have a sit down for a certain amount of time with a coffee and a donut? !!! I think I could maybe manage one of those!!!

I was just wondering Rob T if there was a Geriatric run for us 60 plus oldies to do. It would probably take me a week to finish though. But seriously good luck to you all if you can do the wolf run.

Hi Jetlucy, sadly Larky was retired due to breaking her hock which she has had repaired with surgery. She is a lovely little girl. X

Sparky

Sparky enjoyed a trip to the park today with Liz_Beth. He was such a good boy. Thanks so very much to Liz for taking him out for a change of scenery, he was shattered bless him, I don't think he was too bothered with missing his lunch. Not to worry he had it added to his dinner. Xxx

Thanks to Angie for opening up, to Karla our college student, Dave Maisie Moo with Chase for coming in on his day off, Chris and Suzi. I hope that is everyone!!! I had a trip to Morrisons Sheldon to collect a donation of dog food, I would like to thank Melanie at Morrisons, the store and the very generous shoppers who made donations to the Kennels. I was so overwhelmed and so was my back o certainly the goodies were loaded into my car!!! Thanks to Dave for unloading it at the Kennels. We had a lovely new arrival today in the shape of Larky. She came in from Ickle Pickle Princess Peanut paws and Coopers trainer. Peanut was soooooo very happy to see him as was our Truf Truf. It is great to see the reaction of these dogs when they recognize their trainer, always a good sign. Peanut was homed over a year ago and Cooper nearly two years ago, goes to show that they do remember, especially if they had decent memories. New girl Larky is another lovely girl (even if the trailer doesn't pick the best names for them, Coopers pet name was Friend)!!!!!

Freida
I’m Homed
Shirley and Richards gorgeous Freida donated blood today. We later found out her donation was urgently wanted to help a dog who needed emergency treatment. When the Pet Blood Bank team left, they rushed off to deliver it to its destination. Freida, really did save a life today! Xxx We all hope the dog who received the blood donation is doing ok. Xxx It reminded us all how important it is for our dogs to be blood donors. Many years ago, our Twiggy had to have a big operation. There was a donation of blood on standby, just in case she should need it. Thankfully all went well and the blood was given to another dog. Xxx If you are interested in helping your dog become a blood donor please contact the Pet Blood Bank on 01509 232 222 for more information. Greyhounds are more likely to have negative blood type, which is in high demand. They really need more owners to come forward and help with their extremely important work. Xxx

The Pet Blood Bank came to visit us today. Pet dogs, Sammy, Shadow, Freida and Betty gave donations and our lovely Truf Truf and Magic became donors too. 🙂 The vet checked out Sparky's teeth for us and agreed he will sadly need some dental work before he goes to his forever home. He also had his vaccination booster. Xxx Richard was busy doing jobs around the kennels, Alan and Declan had a trip to the warehouse and our students were looking after the dogs with grooming and teeth cleaning. :)) Many thanks to our Thursday morning walkers for taking everyone out for a stroll. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. 🙂 Xxx

Hi all, reference the traffic update couple days ago with 1 lane closed on the A45 going towards the M42 just past the airport. This has now been lifted... I past it this morning. The slip road onto the A45 from Airport/Catherine-de-Barnes is STILL closed though. Sorry if I have casued a little confusion!

As always many thanks to Denise for opening up and to the Wednesday walkers for their help this morning. We had a lovely new arrival today Selina and also a new volunteer Tom. He helped Denise with the bathing and new arrival health check. He told Selina it was his first day as well as hers. I met the gorgeous Sid who arrived yesterday, a little unsure of his new surroundings but I don't think it will take long for him to settle. Thanks to Chris, Anne and Tom for doing afternoon walks. Rob T has also posted about a fundraising event for the Kennels, a wolf run, Kate, I have to agree I am also too old and decrepit to take part!!! However, if the fitter amongst you are up to the challenge please let us know. Xx
