Over the Rainbow Bridge
Ashley came out for a walk with me and Big Tone on Saturday and he was great company. Very easy to walk and friendly in the kitchen run.

I was so saddened to hear that Roy and Saddle were back at the kennels. If only my own circumstances were different, they would be mine forever despite their naughtiness!....... 🙁

Over the Rainbow Bridge
This boy was brought to the kennels last week as his owners were unable to keep him. They had got him from Gumtree which they thought they were helping a dog in need but sadly found that their home was not the right situation for him despite coming to us for help and advice. He has been assessed over the past few days and today spent some time with the cats and is deemed to be cat friendly. We apologise to the trainers whose dogs are on the ever increasing waiting list as he has taken one of their places but we were asked to take him as a matter of urgency.

Finlay (Tony)
I’m Homed
So Tony is still at Daybreaks, over three months after arriving here. Why I ask? Easy I guess..... firstly he is male - the boys are much harder to home than the girls. Secondly he is black - the pretty colours go much quicker such as fawns, blues and brindles. Thirdly - he hasn't got age on his side as he has just turned 6. Finally - he hasn't got a sad story attached to him. He is not a stray, been mistreated, rescued from abroad or had any sort of ill treatment we dread to hear about - he is just a product of the racing industry. People fall for those who have had a terrible time - it is only human but for Tony he has had none of this thankfully. The sad fact is he is just another one on our worry list of trying to find a home for. We have sleepless nights from daily calls from people who have had dogs that can no longer keep them and we have to turn them away as we are full to our capacity at the moment. We have the pressure of over 60 dogs on a waiting list waiting for a space here too. Stepping off my soap box now - sorry..... :-((((

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi to everyone, I have sent my dad over with some bedding to help keep all you houndies snuggly in bed. Mom has also put some greeting cards in for your humans to sell when they do fundraising she hopes they are ok. Off to sit in the garden for a bit while mom does housework, don't like the vacuum it's very noisy and steals all my treat crumbs . Byeee and take care.

Nice walk with pretty Molly. She look so small on her own in the kennel now that Rebel has his forever sofa. She's another friendly little girl who does enjoy one to one cuddles. xxxxxx

I walked Tony With Nancy today. Once again he was a joy to walk, stopping when required, no pulling just patiently waiting until we could walk on again. If awards were given for patience this handsome boy would have a shed full. He is a very special lad xxx

Nancy is such a lovely friendly young dog. After spending five minutes with her in her kennel, I felt as if I'd been through a car wash!! She just can't stop giving kisses. xxxxx

Good luck in your new home Rebel. Will miss seeing that little face and lovely eyes at the kennels as you seem to have been waiting patiently for a while. Be a good boy and enjoy your retirement.

Saw Tony yesterday he greeted us with a waggy tail! When we left he had such sad eyes. Hope he gets his forever home soon. He really deserves it, he is a super lad.

Well Lottie went for her vaccination yesterday. We duly signed in and when our name was called went to go into the consulting room at which point Lottie put the brakes on. Now Lottie is a big girl and when her bum hits the floor it’s rather difficult to get her up. I was pulling the vet was pushing and the waiting room was in giggles as Lottie made her rather less than elegant way into the room polishing the floor with said bum. Oh the joy of greyhounds never a dull moment they will always make you laugh.
