One word for today....freezing! Despite this the inmates had morning and afternoon walks. All had their teeth cleaned and were groomed, in addition as it was too cold to bring them out for playtime their enrichment for today was lots of cuddles and fuss. It was great to welcome Chris back after her holiday and the Wednesday walkers were in full force this morning. I for one cannot wait for the warmer weather, no doubt when that happens we will complain about it being too hot. As I was doing some work on the computer before Ieft I hadn't noticed the snow coming down thick and fast, when Peanut and I left my car had quite a good layer of snow! Take care everyone and be careful in this weather. X

It feels like yesterday when we picked Penny up but its been a touch over 2 weeks already!! Time flies when your having fun... She has been fabulous. Absolutely stunning. Very well behaved. Learnt when told no. Loves to whine when we one of us goes to work but then greets us with massive cuddles when we come home. Loves to bounce around on our bed and bedroom floor. Then loves to lie chilled out on the sofa watching TV. She has just been phenomenal. Such a great addition to our family. So grateful to Daybreaks and everything they do!! I am looking forward to working more with them and to the future with Penny

It wasn't quite as cold as I was expecting it to be today, we even saw a little sunshine. 🙂 Our residents enjoyed their walks and Truf had a trip to the park with Norman. Xxx Post-op girls Jaz and Summer had a gentle stroll around the sand run. Summer will soon be going off to her new home. Hoping it won't be long before Jaz finds her forever home too. Xxx We had a problem with the shower in the treatment room....Laura was giving little Truf a quick bath when it gave up working. We had to fill up a few buckets of warm water to finish off her bath! Thankfully with the help of Richard and Steve all is good and the shower is fixed. :)) We also have a problem with the electric gate which is still work in progress.... Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. :)) Very, very much appreciated! Xxx

Sparky

Once again I am in love! Everytime I look at Sparky my heart melts. :)) He is a gentle, quiet lad but there is a cheeky side to him Xx He loves to bounce around in the feeding runs and he smiles! When he comes out for his bedtime wee, he walks gently by your side back to his kennel and very politely takes his bedtime treat from you. Xxx

Although Truf Truf arrived at Daybreaks back in January because of niggling little problems she has not been able to be taken to the park until today. I therefore this morning took her for a walk in Brueton Park. She loved the experience and behaved impeccably. Travelled well in the car and walked sensibly on the lead. She met other breeds without any aggression. Hopefully that permanent home will not be too long in arriving for this affectionate girl.

Thanks as always to everyone for their help today, we were a few volunteers short but all the inmates had morning and afternoon walks. We saw the gorgeous Stacy now Ruby go home, all the very best to her and her family. It was so very cold today, but the dogs were all comfy and warm with their under bed heating and fleecy coats on.

* to prevent any mis understanding; Rocky is clean and tidy in his kennels, it is just he has been there soooo long, he needs a break. Hence he is out on foster. I imagine he would be fine going into kennels for your human holidays 🙂 xx

Rocky

Rocky has been fostered as he doesn't really do himself well being in kennels, as much as the team adore him, he doesnt seem to settle as well as the other dogs. Rocky cried when we tried him in the crate; I wonder if this is linked. Rocky has been sleeping in our kitchen/diner on his duvet bed. He has done nothing destructive and has slept from 10pm to latest wake up at 07:30! Straight out for a wee. Funnily enough, this lovely lad has not barked since being in the house. He is a big puppy, just turned 4. Has a lot of play in him, however he sleeps soundly and is very obedient with a clear command. Rocky has been staying in a child free and pet free home so this feedback is only based on THIS experience. He walks well on his lead, he needs to continue to be socialised. He low grumbles / growls but doesnt bark when out and near other dogs. Keep him focused and walk past or distract with his treats. The folk we have come across have been so understanding, most dog owners will understand and support safe approaches, so keep faith and keep in control x He is a lovely dog, who has so much unconditional love to offer. Please do contact the kennels to find out more Let's get Rocky his forever family and home. xx thank you xx

Angie gave everyone a gold star award for clean kennels today. Jazz is still post OP and not very happy. All dogs that could go on walks did this morning. This afternoon it was walks around the sand run. Laura had visitors for pampers and nail cutting, some were not as keen as others. !!! We said goodbye to Theo a college student who had spent a week with us. He was very keen to be involved with all aspects of the kennel duties. Thanks to Karla and Suzi for their help today, very much appreciated.

Can only echo mozzymoos comments about greyhounds been part of the best years...we only had 7 with our beautiful jet (which I know is longer than some people get but not enough!) But they were the most amazing, fantastic, heart warming and memorable years ever. Heartbroken that they had to end so soon but the love jet gave lives on with me forever. Everyone needs to consider a greyhound as I always say! Xxx
