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!

Ruth and Norman took Saddle, Roy, Susie, Rory, Biza and Nick to Blythe Valley Business Park today for lunchtime walks with some of the employees. I believe it was part of a keep fit at work exercise. It was a warm day so all came back rather hot and tired, including Ruth and Norman! All the dogs seemed to have enjoyed themselves, nice for them to have a change of scene. As there were only a few dogs left to walk back at the kennels they had an extra long walk. Horsey seemed to enjoy the walk as it was a circular route and he didn't have to turn back to return to Daybreaks, bless him! Brilliant news for Tony, now called Finlay. Once again a big thank you to his new family for failing miserably and joining the FFP club! :)) Lucy was back helping at the kennels after being poorly with Pneumonia, it was so good to have her and lovely Ellie back. Had forgotten what a food maniac Ellie is!! :)) Great to see Sara and Louis again today too. Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. Xxx

So went to see the man in blue again today (no need to shudder, didn't even tremble in the waiting room!). He says he is pleased I am a lot less limpet and has discharged me back to the care of mom and TC! My walks are getting longer and I no longer have to wear a boot..... Lots of love to Fin and his new family, mom had a soft spot for you and so did auntie Samantha. Lubs to all, Florence xxx

Well done Finlay, you waited a while but it sounds like it has been worth the wait. Be a good boy and enjoy your retirement. Oh and all the nice food, just not your new mums breakfast.

Yep I think it's time to change to reserved. Will be in Friday for Finlay to sign himself out as he has served his parole and he wants to see if you have a leaving present for him. preferably FOOD ! Ruth I think its time for your next soapbox speech for the next lovely black hound to be fostered maybe, it worked on us !!! LOL

Well if I say Tony is now answering to the name Finlay (Fin) and a new bed has been ordered I think I can safely say we are on the list for a FFP tee shirt. My poor husband was just used to getting up at 8am (as Nina our other hound likes a lie in) and Fin the food monster comes into our lives and decides around 6am is a good time to start the day, Never had a Grey who is so fixated with food and I think I will have to ask Ruth for food stamps LOL At the moment his day is still spent looking for food finding food and eating food interspersed with destroying 6 squeaky toys (his second love). What can I say we fall for it every time, cause I am sure at some point we will become his first love, and it doesn't really matter because he has stolen our hearts.

Daddy missed his baby so much and it was only for 1 night. That was the 1st time with out him. Don’t know what I am going to do when I am away for 2 weeks in July. Barney is my pride and joy and we have a lovely bond between us.
