Another quiet day at the kennels today. A massive thanks to Dave for all his hard work. The boys are now tucked up in their warm beds. I have spoken to Nelson's owners this afternoon, it was great to hear how well he is doing. A very Happy New Year to you all. x

Kitty is doing well (by Kitty standards). The world is a scary, bewildering place. She likes to stay safe in her big crate (with the door open) but she is showing more interest in what’s going on around her and is spending time out of the crate now too (without looking for an alternative safe place). She enjoys walks with our other hounds and walks nicely. She’s interested in squirrels but not silly about them. She’s met a range of other dogs, bikes, kids etc etc. She’s mastered the stairs now too and is developing kleptomaniac traits (a pair of socks, the tv remote and several toys so far). Kitty will reward you if you have the time to let her build her confidence in a new place. She will probably shut right down again on rehoming (which can be quite scary as she’ll probably stop eating and even drinking for 24 hours). But left alone to acclimatise (she’s been with us just over 2 weeks) she will come out of her shell and pinch your tv remote too.

On behalf of and to all the residents currently in the kennels and those on foster, as well as all the staff and volunteers at Daybreaks I, my partner and our families wish you all a happy new year. Thanks to all the help given to Daybreaks throughout 2022 in so many ways. It has helped massively from front line work to behind the scenes work, it all helps.

A quiet morning at the kennels with just me, the lads Rocky and Robbie and my Skip and Lyra. It was quite mild, so snug in their fleeces and a comfy bed the lads sat in the runs with a few toys and treats. :)) They enjoyed all the extra attention from any visitors who came along. Xxx They had a lovely walk at lunchtime with Stacy and her boyfriend Tom and later in the afternoon Gill took them both for a stroll around the sand run. Rocky and Robbie are both wonderful lads and have so much love to give. Hoping they won't have to wait too much longer for their forever homes. Xxx We also had visits from Stanley and Yogi for nail clipping and recently homed Amber came to see us too. She is a very happy girl and loving her new life. :)) Thanks so much to the ladies who donated duvets and blankets this afternoon. Very grateful to you. Xxx Left the lads tucked up in their beds, heating on, listening to Classic FM....There was a Pet Special on tonight! Xxx Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year! Thank you so very much for all your support throughout 2022 in so many ways. Xxx Lots of love Kate, Skip, Lyra and Cracker. Xxxxxxx

I arrived at the Kennels this morning to be greeted by Matthew and James following the Kennels sleepover. Matthew very kindly made me a coffee, James said in all the time he had worked with Matt he had never had a drink made for him!!! Thanks Matt. One by one the remaining sleepover and cycle victims (sorry, participants) made their way to the kitchen to get a hot drink. One by one they departed so eventuality it was just me myself and I with Peanut. Rocky and Sonic were also in attendance, Sonic now Nelson went home today and Robbie came back from Christmas foster. No visitors apart from sand run bookings. I really hope that Rocky and Robbie find their forever homes after the wonderful reports from their foster families. Please don't overlook Rocky, yes he is a big lad but full of love and character. X

Would like to give huge congratulations to Rob, Ruth, Molly and Andy on completing their bike ride from the Kennels to Perry Barr Stadium and back again!! They are also sleeping in the kennels tonight accompanied by Mathew and Carol. A great amount of money has been raised but it's not too late to support them! https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cycleandsleepover

River
I’m Homed
River has been the perfect Christmas guest. He settled in so fast he is so good on the lead. He sleeps all through the night. He loves to play with his new toys and has lots of energy. He now waits patiently for his food and enjoyed his Xmas dinner. Everyone loves him who meets him he is extremely loving. He really is a fabulous dog and so deserves his forever home now. He has so much love to give. I will so miss him.

Rocky
I’m Homed
So pleased to see the comments of Elizabeth on Rockys stay with her over Christmas. I've taken him to the park on previous occasions and he really is a terrific lad. It's strange how some dogs struggle to find the home they really deserve. Hopefully the New Year will bring that forever home that Rocky has patiently been waiting for.

Rocky

I always have a kennel favourite and Rocky is my current one. I've really enjoyed reading how he has been getting on in his foster home, sounds like he was the perfect guest. I am sure he will make a greyt pet when his chance comes. As much as I love to see him I hope that chance comes very soon, in fact its way overdue in my opinion. With this glowing report from Liz_beth who can resist him. Perhaps people over look him due to his size and his laid back nature, he erhaps doesn't sell himself enough! Lets hope someone will give him the best happy new year...his forever home xx

Rocky
I’m Homed
Further to my comment yesterday, I wanted to add that Rocky travels really well in the car. He needs a little help to get in, but I'm sure he would gain confidence with time. I must mention as well how fantastic he has been overnight in the house. He settles at night time immediately (sleeping downstairs on his own) and sleeps till late. We have been getting up at about 8 o'clock and have not heard a peep from him. I have never known such a chilled out hound during the night. He has been completely clean overnight, every night. In fact we have only had a couple of accidents at the very start of his stay. As I said yesterday, he is a quick learner xx
