Sadly Phoebe has been returned today. She has been snapping at her family and visitors so we are going to assess her to find out why she is doing this. Since arriving back she has settled well - she is very beautiful x

Monty came to visit us yesterday. He brought with him treats for our current Daybreaks guests...Egg Custards to help him to celebrate his Birthday! :)) Well, it was a bonkers day and I forgot all about those scrummy cakes sitting in the fridge....so our boys and girls had them today. They loved them! Thank you so much to Monty. Xxx I kept quiet when I got home tonight, Skip didn't come with me to the kennels today, he would be so gutted to have missed out on his favourite treat! Xxx Sorry my darling. Xxx

Such sad news re Paddy. I remember him as he is a bigger but very similar version of my Theo. Sending condolences to his family. I went thru a similar situation with my Teddy early last year and although he was a fair bit older such awful diseases dont make the parting any easier. Just know that for Paddy you gave him a chance at a loving home and whilst he didnt have the longevity he should have had you made a difference because you chose him and gave him a loving retirement. Millions never get that chance so be proud of the years you had together and cherish the memories for no one can ever take those from you. Sleep tight Paddy and if you meet any of my boys tell them how much I still miss and love them. Seana, Fergal & Theo xxx

Well my boy, I beamed with pride this morning when I turned my calendar over! I've been hurrying the months away to get to May! What I'd give to have you on my bed again even just for one more night. Remember when you were 1st poorly and had just come out of hospital, you wanted to sleep with mommy but that meant there was no room for Daddy (even in a king size bed you used to take up 3/4s!) so we put daddy some pillows and a blanket on the floor and there he slept, not daring to ask me if I'd move you as he knew what the answer would be! Tbf, I know he'd sleep on the floor every night if it meant we could have you back! Love and miss you every second of every minute of every day xxx

Paddy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Message transferred from the Daybreaks Diary to Paddy's own page. This is from his owner: ''Good afternoon everyone, it is with a VERY heavy heart I have to announce that Paddy has now left us to chase rabbits on the other side of the rainbow. He was the most fantastic hound, we collected him in the March before lockdown (2020) and in spite of his broken (healed) hock, he could always keep up with the rest of them. Sadly, in Sept 2023 we discovered Osteosarcoma in his leg, we had his leg surgically removed and although he was in hospital for 5 days, he pulled through and amazed us all at his bravery. He was such a loyal and loving friend of our family, we simply couldn't give up on him. However, in the past 14 days he went downhill rapidly and an X-ray revealed the cancer had spread significantly. He bravely battled on for a few weeks but had no quality of life in the last few days. Our Vet assured us that other vital organs were shutting down. He pass away peacefully yesterday morning at home, with all the family around him, he will forever remain in our hearts, our love and our joyous memories of his crazy character. Thank you to DayBreaks for giving us Paddy and the most wonderful 4 years we have had with him. We are so sad at the silence at home but know that he will be back soon to say hello and chase the Cats from the garden. Much love everyone xxxx'' Thoughts are with you at this terrible time!
