Ruth, so sorry to hear Foxy is unwell and pray that he receives all the care he needs to make a recovery. The same goes for you my love, you really must rest! To Seren - you are loved and a new forever sofa will come soon. To your mom, I hope the cause of Daisy's aggression can be found and sorted. To everyone who has lost their special furry friend recently, you gave them all the love in the world and they gave it back to you. You are the heroes of greyhound rescue along with all the staff and volunteers at Daybreaks. Xxx

Lorrainewsm, so sorry for you but all I can say is clearly what a responsible, wonderful dog owner you are. You've clearly had to make a horrendously heart breaking decision but how brave and like I say, responsible decision you have made. Be proud of yourself as you're helping all concerned and you know daybreaks will sort little seren so you can sort daisy. My heart goes out to you xxx

An old favourite girl of mine Jingle, I was sad to see her returning but sometimes this has to be and it must have been very difficult for her family to return her and I feel sorry for them. Paddy was pleased to see her at Daybreaks today and they shared the office bed for quite some time today. Please please someone take her home, she's a super cute little dot who wants to love and be loved by all. The sad look in her eyes when Paddy had to go home said it all xx

Is it bad to keep trying to eat my family’s dinner? Well they never share it which is not fair. I’ve been stuck in the garden for a few times then come in to find there is no food left. Doesn’t sound fair does it? Barney Xx

Such a difficult decision for you and your family. I can only think how I'd feel in your position, but with such a glowing report from you, it certainly won't be long before someone falls for her. Thinking of you all. Mand x

How absolutely heart breaking for all concerned. I do hope someone will be able to help Daisy as it can't be a happy situation for her either. I can fully understand why you wouldn't try to rehome Daisy and the other alternative is hard to make. I hope that Seren's new family will want to keep in touch so you know how she is getting on. Best wishes to all of you xx

I had a really busy day yesterday at the kennels with the Wednesday crew however I did manage to escape for a couple of hours to have a lovely treat lunch with Pam (Maisie and Monty's mum) and take Foxy to the vets. He is sadly struggling at the moment and he has had blood tests and I am taking a urine sample in later as Christian thinks he has kidney problems as well as his worsening back problems.... it is breaking my heart. Also making me tearful was the return of Seren yesterday evening. I feel so sad for her family who are in a very difficult situation but I reassured them that Seren would not be staying in a kennel but at mine. She is such a beautiful girl - an absolute spitting image of Wispa my precious who I lost in 2015. I am appealing for a foster home or if possible a forever home desperately for her and if you think you could help, please give us a call at the kennels on 0121 782 7702. I am slowly getting better but work beckons!!!! 🙂

Today we sadly had to return our beautiful Seren (Serendipity in full meaning something precious found by chance). She is the most loving, kind hearted, funny dog you could ever wish to meet and it has broken my heart today bringing her back. Seren has been returned through absolutely no fault of her own and the decision was one of the hardest I have ever had to make. My other dog Daisy, has become aggressive and will bite, without warning. One minute she is fine, the next she will attack and be back to her normal self in moments. Seren was sadly getting the brunt of Daisy's aggression and was starting to fear leaving her bed which was so hard to see. I know many people will question why I hadn't rehomed Daisy instead as she is causing the problem but because she has bitten and is aggressive, I could not pass her to a family in fear of them being hurt too and the other option of euthanasia is one I'm really struggling to face. I have visited vets numerously and behaviourists with Daisy but following the conversation with Ruth earlier, will be revisiting the vets and demanding further testing as even my Grandchildren can't come to visit anymore. Seren is excellent on the lead, great with other dogs. I run a grooming salon from home and Seren met dogs from as small as Chihuahua's to big Labradoodles and all sizes in between with no problems at all. She is brilliant with kids though can get a bit excitable and wiggly. She is great in the car, loves caravanning and the beach. She isn't good with cats and her recall unfortunately needs a little work as she can get distracted easily. She loves cuddles and food and will nudge you in the leg with her nose in the direction of her food bowl or her lead depending on what she's after. She will melt anyone's heart should they meet her. I would love for Seren to have a life as wonderful as she is and filled with lots of love and cuddles nice walks and a cosy bed (or sofa). I would love to be kept up to date with Seren's future and am more than happy for her new family to have my details from Ruth. The house feels very empty tonight.
