It was Gold Stars all round in the clean kennel awards today - with an extra special mention for the gorgeous Steve and Magic, yet again all I had to do was straighten one corner of the bed in both kennels - think we are going to have to check the cameras to see if they actually do spend the night in their kennels!!!! Truff Truff had entertained herself overnight by working at her dressing and destroying most of it!! There were bits of vet wrap all over her bed this morning, and she gives you that innocent "Well, I don't know where that came from" look - you just can't be cross with her. Ruth has spoiled her fun now though, as she has put boots on her! It's shaping up to be a busy day at Daybreaks, Laura is fully booked with her Valentine's pamper sessions, and there are lots of appointments in the diary so - I will make my usual wish for some red or green signs by Monday. Have a great weekend one and all, stay safe and well. Angie xx

Little Stacy came home with me yesterday as she has not been eating very well and had an upset tum. We have stopped her Metacam and she woofed down her food once back at ours! She is a very sweet and quite girl who goes out to her new home at the beginning of March x

This little fella is a joy. It was great to get him out in the sand run a couple days ago as I was filming him ready for his super star video. He was well behaved and loved a good run about.

Many thanks as always to Angie for opening up and to Karla for doing morning walks and sorting the cats. Laura had bookings for nail clipping for Bertie and a pamper for the gorgeous Padfoot. Turf Truf was limping so Ruth had a look and thinks she has something in her pad so dressed it, later on today she decided to hold her other paw up!! We had no Chris today so Karla and Matthew took it in turns to take the dogs Into the sand run. Thanks too to Suzi who came in and helped with feeding and cleaning the runs and sitting with the dogs and helped keep an eye on Truf Truf who tried to get her dressing off, I managed to do a temporary repair until Ruth looks at it again tomorrow. After a few days off it was nice to be back. Xx

Sparky is simply gorgeous! He has been on the waiting list since last September but because the boys sadly take longer to home, it has taken him several months to get to the top of the list. Please, please consider giving one of our fabulous boys their forever home. Xxx Xxx

I met Sparky today and he is a lovely lad. A bit stressed in kennels at the moment, I do hope his forever home comes soon. He will be well looked after at Daybreaks though. Keeping fingers crossed his stay will be a short one xx

Arry (Ares /Tinker)
I’m Homed
Asbo Arry really enjoyed his Valentine's pamper today. He actually jumped into the bath and stood there beautifully, his back legs had a bit of a wobble but this can be caused the warm water relaxing the muscles. Once done he was equally happy to jump back out. He was a good boy with the drier, ear cleaning, nail clipping and teeth scraping, although when Laura finished scraping then used the plaque wipes and finally used the plaque gel he decided to do dog down and dropped to the floor, absolutely nothing wrong just decided it was time to lie down!!!! Nothing like scaring someone. Did wonder that as he was so very good we call him Asbo? Think that just summed it up. He also received his lovely valentine's goody tin with various lovely goodies in....well worth it I say. Thanks Laura, hope he didn't give you too much of a scare!!!!!

Seana, I am so very sorry and heartbroken, I would dearly loved to see Teddy's gorgeous face one last time. He achieved a great age, I know it's no concellation but you gave him a wonderful life. What a good boy Fergal was to cuddle up and make him feel safe, warm and loved. We are thinking of you at this very difficult and sad time. Much love, Jo, Arry, Cooper and Peanut. Rest easy Teddy and watch down on us all. Xxx

For my wonderful Step Uncle Teddy If I could use my million tears to build a staircase I would build one right up to heaven and bring you back again together with my Daddy and Brother. You have been the best pal and I am glad I got to snuggle up to you today whilst you slipped away. I hope you know how much I loved you. I did try to show you by snuggling up to you as much as I could and always letting you have the treaties first! I will try to be a good boy for Granny but I honestly don't know how I will fare without you. It has been so very hard without Daddy and then Eoghan and now you have gone my life will never be the same. I hope you will wait patiently for me and Granny but until then be healthy, be happy and please remember to look down on us every day before you go and play. lots of snuggles and sniffs. Fergal xxx

R.I.P. My Beautiful Teddybear - 28.8.2009 - 15.2.23 My darling Teddy, My heart is truly broken. Having barely accepted losing Eoghan a few months ago I really believed we would see your 14th this year but life is so cruel and your aggressive cancer diagnosis just before Christmas had other plans. You have fought so valiantly these past 8 weeks and it has been a true honour to be your Mum these past 5 1/4 years. You have been just the sweetest son one could wish for. You were so kind and respectful to Daddy Melly, then welcoming Fergal and Eoghan into our home and so I couldn't be more proud. The DB team welcomed you as part of the family always and I know in particular Auntie Kate and Auntie Jo will be sad not to see your lovely face again. I know Auntie Kate was grateful to be able to say goodbye to you and that Auntie Jo should have been able to today but obviously we didn't make it into DB. I am hurting too much to put the right words together and so here is a beautiful poem from Auntie JetLucy just for you. It's my first day in heaven, and what a beautiful place, you'll be glad to know there's a smile upon my face. The moment I left you, two angels in white, carried me up here to heaven that night. All those stories you hear about Rainbow Bridge are true but you don't walk over it because the angels carried me through. There's a gate at the end made of pearl and it has got to be the biggest gate in the world. Once I got in and started looking around, you just won't believe all the things that I found. The first place they took me had to be the most fun, a humongous field with miles to run. Once I was tired the angels then said we will take you to your home but first we need to stop by this place full of tasty bones. They told me to take one with me but one is all I need because every good thing lasts forever up in heaven you see. They took me to my new house, it took my breath away, the most beautiful place I have ever seen and with a huge yard to play. They said come on, let's go inside and have a look around. They took me to the bottom floor and you won't believe what I found. The bottom of my house has a window and you won't believe the view for my house sits right over yours so I can still keep an eye on you. I was so worried about you when I went away but now I can watch you every second of the day, when we can walk around this place and I can cover you with puppy kisses on every inch of your face. Until we meet again. Teddy my sweet boy, remember all that Mummy told you and make sure you find your way to Daddy Melly and Eoghan. Play amongst the fields of gold and green and enjoy the sun filled blue sky. Try to find my other sons so that they may not be alone. Wait patiently for me and for Fergal as we have to stay here for a while longer but please god in the not so distant years Fergal and I will join you all and we will be a family again. With all the love my heart can send. Mummy xxx
