Magic

Ruth took Magic off to the vets this morning for his Neutering operation and collected him again this afternoon. He was quite awake when he came back and throughly enjoyed his dinner. :)) He is such a lovely lad! Hoping his forever home will soon come along Xxx

If you are thinking of giving a home to a Greyhound, please take a look at our beautiful boys! Our current lads are all fabulous....Rocky is our longest resident having been with us since last August. He is a big boy but all the more to cuddle. :)) We have two Magics, both great lads who have so much love to give. There is Steve who just loves to lean and has a tail that never stops wagging and our gorgeous older gentleman River. Xxx As for Herbie, everytime I see him I love him a little bit more! :)) I have two boys of my own, they are both wonderful. I adore them. 🙂 Xxx So please, give our Daybreaks boys a chance to show you how fantastic they are! Xxx

We were several volunteers short today. Thanks to everyone who came in and made sure the dogs that could go on walks did so and helped with feeding, cleaning and general kennel duties. Rocky Rock Star still didn't want his breakfast, however, he had a visit to the park with Jackie and Ned. He was so excited to see them and had a lovely time with them, he was nearly back to the Rocky we all know and love. This boy desperately needs his forever home. Steve was a happy waggy boy, not sure he is impressed with wearing the cone of shame after his neutering. Laura was kept very busy with back to back Pampers. The sand run was very busy today, we had a donation of bedding and a viewing too. The gorgeous Stacey was reserved over the phone after the lovely couple who viewed her went home and had a chat and decided she was the one for them. I have a few days off this week but will be watching the website for updates and any news about the Inmates!! Take care everyone. X

Rocky

Rocky was very pleased to see us when we went to pick him up for a walk in Brueton Park today. He settled in the car for the short drive and was happy looking out of the window. Once at the park he was happy to walk and although still interested in other dogs he soon settled and allowed himself to be guided by us. A quiet word when other dogs approached us and he got to the point of not bothering at all, especially if other dogs didn't bother with him. He loves people and was happy to venture into Solihull for a bit of shopping. He is such a lovely dog and will thrive in a home if someone is prepared to take a chance on him. Consistency and love are all he needs. Fingers crossed he finds the right home soon xx

I so hope Rocky will continue to improve. He's such a handsome boy. I also do wish people with dogs off lead would keep them under control and if they can't, then keep them on the lead when in public places.

I hijacked Kate's login earlier - it has been a very busy day! We had Amelia officially adopted after being such a good girl on trial. Unfortunately we had an emergency vet trip to do as Steve's wound had opened up following his castrate so Jess kindly took him to the vets where he was stapled. He was so brave.... We saw Robbie come back for 'respite care' as he pulled his owner over after a small dog ran up to him and his owner fractured her wrist. It is such a shame as he was doing so well in his new home and as his owner can't currently walk him, he is back at Daybreaks. If we could get offers of walking help for his owner, he can go back home..... Poor Rocky is not himself so I have started him on Cobalaplex and already seems a bit brighter. Those who didn't go on walks Robbie, Truf Truf, Steve and Rocky all had extra TLC instead. Thank you to all our volunteers who came in and walked our other inmates - they all had enrichment play with licky mats too! Herbie who is currently being fostered by me has increased from 27kg to 29.8 and he is building confidence daily. He had great fun in the sand run this morning! I have just seen Poppy (aka Crusty) for her pads and nails to be trimmed. She suffers with hyperkeratosis of her pads and is so brave when I clip them! As it is almost 6pm, it is wine time so I will finish here. Kate and I have homes to go to!!! :-)))))) x

Rocky
I’m Homed
Rocky came with me to Elmdon Park yesterday. He clearly wasn't himself when I arrived, as he was reluctant to get up and say hello. However, once I had collected a lead, he was much more interested. He was a good boy in the park and whilst he isn't perfect with every dog, he is learning and improving. From the time he spent with me in foster, I already knew that he would allow himself to be guided past other dogs without much of a fuss. Yesterday though we had a spaniel run at us and stand barking at us about 2 metres away. At first Rocky did tell him off, but then he just stood and watched him as if he just couldn't be bothered exerting the effort anymore. He is a really super lad and he would make a very loving pet. To summarise his time in foster with me: loves his toys, food, walks, cuddles and is clean as well as settled overnight. He was a perfect foster hound. I have everything crossed that he will get his forever home very soon xx

Poor Rocky - he just isn't happy..... his temperature is absolutely fine but he has lost his mojo. I am appealing for a foster home for this gorgeous boy. He is happier with larger breeds but excited with smaller dogs. He is clean in his kennel, loves cuddles and is just fed up with kennel life. Ruth using Kate's login!!!

Happy 13th birthday to our beautiful Milly. Still seems to think she's a puppy at times and still a demanding diva but always our much loved little girl.

Robbie

Unfortunately Robbie is back with us..... a small dog that was off the lead ran up to Robbie whilst he was on his walk and pulled his owner over. She has fractured wrist and is out of action for a good while. Ruth using Kate's login!!! If there is anyone in the Wilnecote area of Tamworth who would be willing to help out with walking, this would mean he could stay at home. If you think you can help please call us as he is very sad to be back. He has been perfect in his new home which he had waiting so long for so we are desperate for help for him and his owner.

Massive thanks to Angie for opening up. Ruth took Steve for his neutering and I collected him, everyone at the vets fell in love with him. Not so sure they will feel the same when they find out he had a massive wee up the vets car!!!! Thanks so much to Chris for covering the Kennels whilst I collected Steve, he ate all of his dinner when he got home. Thanks too to Angie for doing an early Daybreaks Diary. Xxx

I opened up bright and early this morning, and can award Truff Truff a silver star and all the other residents a gold star award for their kennels! Cleaning & breakfasts were done in good time today - well done all. Rocky is still a little under the weather, he didn’t eat much breakfast which is very unusual for him. A visit to the Vet is on the cards to see what’s going on. It was Steve’s turn at Fivelands for his neutering this morning, it is always so sad when they watch their pals eating breakfast and they can’t join in! I took the lovely Stacy out on the morning walk, she is understandably a little nervous of her new surroundings, but she was happy walking alongside Magic, and not overly bothered by the traffic noise. Hard to believe it’s February already - where is the time going?? I shall be raising a glass later to our boys & girls and wishing forever homes for them all soon. Stay safe and well everyone. Angie xx
