2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
So sorry for the delay in the diary update...fell asleep on the sofa and have been woken up by Fletcher's snoring! :)) A quiet morning, sure it was due to a wedding going on somewhere! However our two lovely Duke of Edinburgh lads were happy to come to the kennels to walk the dogs...they were certainly not intested in watching Harry and Megan walk down the aisle! 🙂 Wouldn't it be great if we could get the Happy couple to adopt a Greyhound or two!! Susie, Rory and my little Lyra went off to Melbicks to help with a roadshow for the morning with Jill, Paul, Sarah and Steve. It was Puppy Class day and I was told they all did really well with the many different breeds of dogs around. 🙂 If you are interested in helping out at roadshows please give us a call at the kennels 0121 782 7702 for more information. Fantastic news for Ashley! Thanks you so much to Myra and Alan for offering him a wonderful new home with them. We really must get those FFP t-shirts sorted or have an annual FFP Day! We had a visit from Jack and his lovely family this morning. Jack had a good time in the run, but not so happy about having his nails trimmed. Xx He looked great and it was obvious how much he is loved. 🙂 We are expecting two new arrivals tomorrow. Sadly our waiting list grows ever longer, we have over SEVENTY Greyhounds now waiting to come into the kennels, please, please consider giving a home to one our beautiful boys and girls. Xx Wishing Ruth a very happy Birthday for today and to Jess whose Birthdsy was earlier in the week. :))) Xxx

Ashley is delightful. We will continue to work on his uncertainty with my daughter but I feel very confident that this lovely boy just needs reassurance. Like most of these gorgeous dogs he wants to please and to have as many cuddles as can be managed!!!! We can do that!!!! Many thanks to Kate and to Ruth for their continuing help. Two very happy FFP's xxx

Well I think I can safely say Tony is still "keen". Let him and Nina out to run down the big garden this morning and forgot the squirrel is usually around early. Well today he was sat in the middle of the lawn deciding which peanut holder to go for. Not for long! Both hounds saw him at the same time and "game on" He was in a dilemma as to which way to run cause now there where two Grey's not one. I thought for a moment I was at the track, after 2 laps around the lawn Tony and Nina looked like they where heading for a photo finish. Then the squirrel made a run for the neighbors fence Luckily he made it and they put their breaks on.I had my heart in my mouth as they where frighteningly fast and I will squirrel check before they are let out in future.A neighbor who saw it all from her bedroom window asked for the odds for the next race. I would say EVENS LOL.

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
What a nice day that was - cleaning and feeding was done in a trice thanks to Richard & Shirley and the early arrival of volunteers from HSBC. Plenty of help meant morning and afternoon walks, as well as health checks, grooming and playing - our boys & girls were well and truly spoiled today!! It was great to see the change in the lovely Stella since her arrival last week - she is a happy, friendly girl and I'm so happy she has been reserved already. Seren spent the day in the office, what a treasure she is, she is such a pretty little girl and so good. With so much help I was able to tackle the drains and gulleys in the kennel blocks. It is very satisfying to have a real good spring clean and leave everything fresh and smelling of relaxing lavender (yes, perhaps I am just a little bit strange, lol!!!). Brandy & Petal seem to be getting on fine, although he is still a little stressed. Hopefully with time he will relax and realise all is well and he's in a safe place. Was good to see Ruth this morning, although she is still in considerable pain - I finally persuaded her to go home this afternoon and try to rest, not easy when you're in pain, here's hoping she starts to feel much better soon. Well yet another week has flown by, I really don't know where the time is going! There are viewings booked for the weekend, so keep your fingers crossed. Enjoy your weekend everyone. Angie xx

I just want to send loving thoughts to Ruth and Foxy. When Nina stayed with Ruth and I gave her the bag of goodies and a toy was in it Foxy went to the bag and surprise, surprise he took the toy! not the food.The flesh may be weak but his spirit is still young. Lets face it we are all 21 in our heads whatever age and Foxy has been such a special boy who overcame great odds to live a wonderful life with Ruth. I am sure he would love me to say to her "Thanks mum" Don't think my girl would have minded trading me in for her when I went to collect her. Ruth, you rock ! x
