Finlay (Tony)
I’m Homed
Well Since Tony arrived he has learnt a lot. He knows he has to join the breakfast and dinner que which forms at the same time each day, and that he cannot come into the kitchen while I prepare his and Nina's bowls. Lies and watches with anticipation, he knows he will be sent out if he crosses the line. lol Today he has decided to commence a toast que (when I am getting mine) ! I am trying to achieve that pitiful look in my eyes that hounds have whilst negotiating something with my hubby. Not working so far.

Dylan
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I had the very sad news from Nicola to say that poor Dylan fell in the garden and broke his leg and had to be let go. I will miss walking this handsome and sensitive lad on our walks with his Sister Janey. He was such a well behaved boy with so much life left in him! He was taken far too soon and I shall miss him dearly. My thoughts are with Nicola and Barbara and of course his sister Janey. Rest in piece Dilly xx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
This morning I took the twins into the run and I have been teaching Saddle the 'wait' command..... he is doing fantastic and it stops his circling. I also took Stella into the run - she is in the isolation kennel away from the Daybreaks greys due to a cough she has. This appears to just happen when she has a lead on or is held by her collar so we have a harness to prevent this. She is immaculately clean every morning and absolutely loves the run. I had feedback from the greyhound board that her previous owner was not able to be contacted..... anyhow - whatever has happened..... she is in safe hands now and we hope she can find a great home soon. She is off to the vets next week for the second part of her vaccination and then her spey is to be arranged. I am attacking the paperwork pile from home today whilst I keep popping the pills and hope to be back to 100% very soon - thanks for all the messages I have been receiving x

This little lass is going to be returned due to problems with the family’s existing dog having problems. I feel desperately sorry for the family as it has been a hard decision to make. We will let you know when she is arriving and hopefully she can find a home as soon as possible. She is good on the lead, good with children and house trained. She is not cat friendly.

Hi Helen and Dave - who are you insured with and what policy do you have? If it is Petplan I’m happy to speak to them for you. If your policy is ‘cover for life’ - it will be covered. If you are in tomorrow I can look at it for you x

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It was a beautiful day again today. 🙂 Rosie took Nick and Sully off to the vets first thing for their neutering operations. They were both quite wobbly when they returned late this afternoon, but it didn't stop them from enjoying their evening meal. 🙂 I had to help Sully get onto his bed; but he looked quite comfy when I checked on him before going home. Xx As we didn't have enough Volunteers to walk the dogs this this morning, Yvonne and I took them all in the run whilst Clive gave everyone a lovely groom. They all loved the extra attention especially Molly, Saddle and Roy. I'm sure they would have stayed with Clive all day! 🙂 Ashley came in to visit us with Alan and Myra this afternoon. It's great to hear he is doing so well now. :)) We are so grateful to them for all the help, time and patience they are giving to him. x Thanks to Yvonne, Adam, Alan and Myra for taking the lads and lasses for walks this afternoon. :)) Xxx

Your Vet should tell your insurers this fact. Monty has had several Corns and Pet Plan have paid up for each one

Horse

Horse is a handsome boy and the last couple of times I have been on a walk with Adam walking him he has been absolutely fine. Perhaps Adam is a 'Horse' whisperer. xxx

Just wondered if anyone has been in this situation. Milly had a corn removed at the vets a couple of weeks ago and has had some complications with an infection which is still being treated at present. We put in an insurance claim and have had a letter today saying they won't pay out as she had a corn removed back in 2015. This doesn't seem right as it's not an ongoing thing and in a different place to the first one. Has anyone else had trouble like this when putting in claims for corn removal? xx

Just wondered how horse was doing with his "stationary" walks now? Bet he would walk quickly if some kind person offered him a forever home or even a forever big garden. Good luck lovely boy x

Marty is currently being fostered by a lovely lady. He is doing really well and she loves him. However, he does have a weird taste in food, he recently ate a bar of soap! Yuk! :)) Xxx
