I picked up the gorgeous Kitty from Fivelands yesterday after her neutering and took her home. She has been an absolute angel and slept soundly last night. She is so sweet and I am hoping she finds her forever home very soon x

Josh
Over the Rainbow Bridge
An update on Josh as you may remember he is very loving but his behaviour when he lies down can be aggressive. To date, he has had a medical consultation, which resulted in an x-ray (all clear). He has received treatment from a chiropractor. Wendy Lymer (the chiropractor) has found many little issues that may or may not impact his behaviour. I have seen small improvements in his behaviour. For the last three weeks, he has been on Metacam and Gabapentin. I have seen a dramatic change in him. Last week was not his best, but it is easy to manage and maybe the full moon played its part. We now need to understand why. Is it the sedation effect of the medication or is it neurological? The behaviourist will be getting involved. We are still some way from being able to rehome him. With the support from Daybreaks, I will keep working with him to where we need him to be for rehoming. The good news is, we are making positive progress.

It was ffffreezing this morning!!! but when I opened up all the boys & girls were cosy and snug with their under bed heating and fleecy coats. Jo was on the vet run first thing, taking Kitty off to be speyed. She wasn't too impressed watching all her friends come out for their breakfasts and she couldn't join in!!!! Despite being so very cold, the sunshine was lovely and the inmates enjoyed a lovely walk this morning. New girl Pearl was very keen indeed to get out & about!!! She just needs to learn that she can now walk for pleasure, and doesn't need to forge ahead like a train!! Just a quick reminder that our lovely 2023 calendars are on sale, as well as tickets for our Grand Christmas Draw. Every penny will go towards looking after the beautiful boys & girls in our care. Stay safe & warm everyone. Angie xx

A busy morning....Laura went to be Neitered and Robbie had his vaccination booster. I also took my little Lyra to see Christian as she has a nasty spot come up on her bottom! They were all so good going to the vets together and impeccably well behaved once they went into the vets. Xxx Thanks so much to Richard for popping in to give me a hand to take everyone to the vets! Xxx Thanks to our students and volunteers for all their help today. Yvonne and Jack gave the paintwork around the kennels a good clean. This afternoon Yvonne and Lynda sorted all the recently donated bedding. Skip and Lyra supervised them from beneath their cosy blankets! :))) Despite the chill and a little rain the dogs enjoyed going out for their afternoon walks and looked forward to having their dinners. :)) Xxx

It was a chilly day today but we had lots of enthusiastic volunteers :)) So everyone had morning and afternoon walks. Xxx Phantom came in for a pamper. It was lovely to see him again. He went home in a beautiful new Red Winter coat and looked so very handsome.:)) Baby's new family arrived to take her home at lunchtime. She came into the office and snuggled into one of the beds while her paperwork was completed. She has a new name, Phoebe which really suits her. :)). Do hope all goes well. Xxx Thanks so much to Jess for coming in to help and to all our volunteers! Your help is very much appreciated. :)) Please come along to our Christmas Party tomorrow...there will be things to buy and of course Santa will be coming to meet your fourlegged boys and girls and make sure they have all been good this year! :)) If you can spare the odd tin of Sardines or pilchards we would be very grateful. Xxx I would to say a big Thank you to everyone who helped cover my days last week as I was not feeling too good and needed some time off. Bless you.....XXXXXX

I am after help! I would be truly grateful if anyone is willing to be filmed at Daybreaks to say a little about how the cost of living crisis may affect your decision to adopt again? You would need to be available on Tuesday 6th from 1.30pm for a short while. Please contact me directly either by PM or at the kennels (0121 782 7702).
