Kitty
I’m Homed
Kitty was a star today. Out on our walk we got bombed by 2 off lead and out of control dogs. Big hairy barky things. Hastily followed by a woman profusely apologising and blaming her husband for letting the dogs out before she’d got the gate closed after arriving home - we were up a bridleway by the canal with HUGE posh (gated) houses down it. Anyway, Pod ran away, Pedro told them what he thought and Whitby and Kitty just stood there while the woman rounded up her errant beasts. She’s since made up for it by escalating her kleptomaniac tendencies to include a clementine from the fruit bowl (she didn’t like it). It is lovely to see her mischievous personality emerging now.

Daybreaks Diary!

Wow! What a crazy day! We had Steve brought in this morning - homed direct from a trainer 18 months ago but the owners are unable to keep. He is absolutely gorgeous and Kate took him off for his vaccination this afternoon.... during this time I did the homing paperwork for Quivers and Duque and Django was viewed and promptly rehomed. We had a viewing for Bobbie as well and I am doing her home check on Thursday. I have had Jen in the office for a short while this afternoon - she doesn't like being in the kennel! She was very excited to start with but soon settled down!

Django
I’m Homed
Django had a great time during his foster stay over the holidays. He was a perfect guest and a well-behaved hound with great manners. He is very loving and a bit of a fusspot. He likes having his ears and his chin rubbed, and he is happy roaching on his bed. He enjoys playing with toys, and will be happy with another dog to play with, but also he will get some reassurance from another dog when he becomes a bit nervous about new things. Django is going to be a fantastic hound in his forever home.

As always, thanks to everyone for their help today. All the inmates apart from Jen had morning and afternoon walks. Jen had fun in the sand run and she seemed a little happier with the extra exercise. Jim came in for his four week health check and to use the sand run, he is doing well. We had a donation of bedding, the lovely couple had a look at the residents. They had sadly lost their greyhound last year. Vicky liked Lorna and Brett liked River. They are coming back on Friday with some more bedding for us, I'm sure they will want to see the residents again. Fingers crossed they may find the right dog for them, they do have two smaller dogs so we will have to wait and see. The gorgeous Minnie was officially signed up today, before Christmas we have frantically looking for our list of potential fosterers, I found the list albiet a little late, it had made it's way into the foster paperwork taken with her!!! That is one mystery solved!!!

Kitty
I’m Homed
Kitty has just play bowed to one of our other dogs! At almost 15 obviously he wasn’t up for it. But she was. And yesterday she jumped up at me. She’s currently got 4 toys in her crate as has abandoned another 4 on the lounge floor. No doubt she’ll collect them later. She sleeps through until chicken o’clock (7am), gets on we’ll with small dogs, has seen cats and is interested but not mad for them (ditto squirrels) and can be left for 4 hours (currently crated). She would benefit from having another experienced hound around but would do equally well as an only dog. She will need a ‘safe space’ to retreat to when things are too much for her and people who will give her the time to settle and to trust them. We’ve had her just over 3 weeks and the difference is amazing and more so every day now.

Pearl
I’m Homed
Just to update, we picked Pearl up 10 days ago and within 24hours she had made herself right at home! Snuggling on the sofa, roaching in her bed, and chattering whilst having lots of fuss. She loves her food & going for walks, not a fan of cats, I can’t believe how quickly she settled in and how friendly and welcoming she is if anyone visits. Pearl had bloods done for her recent kidney injury and the results showed her kidney function is still improving which is good, she’s due to go back in 4weeks for repeat bloods, BP check and to take a wee sample (that should be fun!) thank you Daybreaks, Ruth & Willows vets for caring this lovely bundle of joy x
