2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
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

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.")
