We had five lovely people from Virgin Media volunteer with us today. They came armed with paintbrushes! This morning they gave our Summer House in the sand run a new lease of life! It looks great. :)) This afternoon they enjoyed spending time with the dogs and joined in with the walks. A certain young Greyhound lady, Baby was especially happy to meet them and spent a lot of time receiving cuddles and having a good "lean" with them all! :)) We are very grateful for their help today. Thank you all so much. Xxx Thanks too to all our regular Tuesday volunteers. :)) Norman took Jim for a visit to the park. He had a lovely time! Many thanks to everyone for feeding, cleaning, walking, grooming, teeth cleaning, health checks, washing up, cleaning runs..........and so many other things! :)) Xxx We have the large Calendars for next year at the kennels now, they are lovely! The month of January features a super photograph In memory of our very beautiful lad Sully who passed away during his neutering operation. Xxx Xxx The slimline Calendars and Christmas cards will be arriving very soon. Xxx It you are planning on coming along to our Christmas party in December we would be so grateful if you could spare a tin or two of Sardines to bring with you. We have run out completely! Xxx Thank you! Xxx

Yes I am so pleased too. He is such a beautiful boy and it broke my heart when he came back into kennels on Thursday. Everything crossed that he has now found his forever home.XX

What a relief that the tests are normal. Let's hope they're ok next time too so he can find his forever home. I walked him yesterday and he walked really well.

Cooper (Friend)
I’m Homed
Last week I took Cooper for his booster vaccination. He despite not having been to Fivelands Yardley he decided that he would not get out of the car!! 42 kg of dog refusing to budge, so sedatives were prescribed (but for a 35kg dog which he was a year ago) so that I could take him and try again today. So armed with Peanut, a bag of cheese and ham we had success. Even with the bunny needle he had to squeal. He had a check over and was much happier when the muzzle came off. We are now looking at a metabolic diet food for him, as despite cutting his food intake down he now weighs 43.6kg, not good. He is active and we do watch the food intake, so waiting for Christian to come up with a plan that will work for Coops.

Hi Jetlucy, Peanut and Baby have met, the first time it was waggy tails and the second time was also waggy tails but Baby had a little grumble, nothing too much. Well, I suppose it's a mother and daughter thing!!

Rocky
I’m Homed
We had been a bit concerned about Rocky when he first arrived at Daybreaks as he was drinking lots and we were filling his water bowl continuously. He was also weeing a lot. One of his siblings who had previously been rehomed from Daybreaks consequently was found to have renal disease. When he went in for his neutering he had tests done. Blood tests came back normal but his urine was dilute. He therefore was admitted for an ultrasound and cystocentesis and thankfully these were also normal. In a couple of months we will get his urine checked as and if this is normal, we will be confident he is 100% well enough to be rehomed. The vets said he was a lovely enthusiastic boy (which we know!) and we know he will make a wonderful addition to a family soon.

What a crazy busy chilly day it was. Thanks to everyone for their help We had 2 viewings which resulted in Bobby being homed and Bee being reserved. Little Chloe came in for her 4 week health check, she is doing well. There was also a pamper, thanks to Carol, Denise and Alison for doing that. If you are interested in any of our residents please give the Kennels a call.

It was a damp, grey & chilly start to the day today, such a contrast to yesterday’s lovely Autumn sunshine. I don’t know about you but things never seem quite so bad when the sun is shining! Sad to see River back in the kennels, but his famous “paw of more” is still in action! Let’s hope we can get him back out onto his own sofa again very soon.x Minnie enjoyed meeting up with her pals again this morning - she has taken quite a shine to the handsome Rocky! She sits in the office so patiently waiting whilst we do our work, and is always rewarded with the toast game when we get back home - she loves her toast! The weeks are flying by and it will soon be time for our online Festive Auction - check out the Daybreaks Chat Group Facebook page. There are some really lovely items up for grabs. And Santa is waiting in the wings to join us for our Christmas party on 4th December - it’s all happening! Stay safe and well one and all - wine time is fast approaching. Cheers! Angie xx

It was fantastic to take this wonder of a boy out on a walk yesterday. He loves bouncing up and down when he knows he is going out for a walk and his eyes catches everything that moves!! Then just strolls along like nobodies business... such a wonder!!

Lyra (Maggie)
I’m Homed
It's that time of year for Bonfires and Firworks when my little Lyra spends a lot of time in the spare room...her safe place, snuggled in a big blanket listening to Pet Classics on Classic FM. Have been sitting with her on and off during the evening and heard someone request a mention for their Tortoise! :)) Fortunately Skip and Cracker are not bothered by the Fireworks but Lyra gets very stressed. I can recommend the Pet Specials on Classic FM, the gentle music does help her to relax and I have found Pet Remedy spray very effective too. She doesn't shake as much. It's a bad time for many of our Pets...Xxx

Another quiet day for visitors, many thanks to Angie for opening up and to Karla our Friday college student for helping with feeding, cleaning, teefs cleaning, grooming and general kennel duties. Many thanks also to Chris and Matthew for their help. I managed to get some much needed paperwork done before the website I needed to submit it to decided to crash!!! Very sadly we saw the return of River, his owner is due to circumstances unable to keep him any more. He will be assessed over the next couple of days and will hopefully be able to find a foster or forever home very soon. Rumour has it that Ruth collected some of the large calendars today. Slimline ones should be with us soon. As always they are stunning. If you want to get one tomorrow pay a visit to the Tanworth in Arden Christmas Fayre which is being held in the village hall between 10am and 12pm. Ruth has some very lovely items up for grabs to raise funds for the Kennels. There are also other stalls to peruse. Just for info dogs are also allowed!! Why not pop along and take a look? Xx
