Quivers
I’m Homed
I am over the moon that Quivers today finally found her forever home. She was dropped off at our house by Rob who has been fostering her for many months. She got on well with her new greyhound sister and also met the baby and I think we reacted more when baby started crying! I am so grateful to Rob who owns Rory for looking after her and Andy who owns Fred and Deb who owns Peg who also opened their homes for her and fostered her. She originally arrived at Daybreaks November 2021 so has been waiting a long time for her forever home. X

Mia went out on trial but she was very reactive to other breeds of dog. Sadly she was too strong for her new owners so she is back at the kennels.

It was very quiet for volunteers today, many thanks to Denise for opening up, Kitty and Annabel for coming in this morning and to Alison for staying this afternoon. It was looking like the inmates would not get an afternoon walk but then Caroline arrived and soon after Kitty's Mom and Dad after she had told them how short of help we were!! Thanks so much for coming in and making sure that the dogs had afternoon walks. People's kindness always amazes me and to know that it is a pleasure and not a chore is fantastic. You are all amazing. Xx

It was Gold Stars all round this morning - every kennel all lovely and clean, thankyou boys & girls it makes my life much easier!!! It was nice to see the sunshine after yesterday's miserable rain, and the residents enjoyed basking in the sun after their breakfast whilst waiting for their kennels to be cleaned. We have some lovely boys & girls just ready and waiting for their own cosy sofas - fingers crossed that we see some red signs soon. Stay safe everyone. Angie xx

Eoghan (Blue)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Seana, Teddy and Fergal. I was so very sad to have your call on Wednesday night telling me that Eoghan was so poorly. You gave him a wonderful home for his remaining life with you, this you need to keep close to your heart. Reunited with Daddy Melly and Alan who looked after him until Alan was too unwell. Eoghan, run fast and free at Rainbow bridge, meet up with all our beloved hounds who passed before. Say hello to Gummers and Sarah Scare bear and let them know that Peanut is keeping the other dogs in their place. Xx

Today started with a vet run to take Dolly for her neutering. Thanks so much to her new Mom for going to collect her this evening after completing her adoption paperwork. We are still experiencing problems with our phone lines, so please use the number given in the previous diary post. Thanks to everyone for their help today and for getting so damp this afternoon!! We are very grateful to Morrisons Sheldon for their donation of dog food to the kennels. Thanks to them for their continued support. Thankfully, the weather report for the next few days looks like it will be drier and a bit warmer.

Massive thanks to Kate for her patience, kindness and resourcefulness with my frightened of getting his nails clipped boy, Ash, who growled everytime she even approached him with the clippers. 40 kilos of heart racing quivering greyhound (and to be honest mum). Bless Kate she enlisted the help of Alan, who just happened to be passing, and Ruth, who as we all know never shys away from a challenge. Alan and Kate, fork lift style, hoisted Ash into the air and Ruth deftly cut all his nails. Wonderful feat of cooperation. Many many thanks to you all.

A POEM FOR OUR BELOVED BROTHER EOGHAN When tomorrow starts without you and you are not here to see, the sun will rise and find our eyes all filled with tears for you. We know how much you loved us, as much as we loved you, and each time we think of you we know we will be missing you too. But when tomorrow starts without you, we will try to understand that an angel came and called your name and caressed you with her hand. We will think about our lives together, in the kennels then in different homes and then finally with Daddy Melly and Granny and we will be sad but we will think of the fun and love we all shared and so when tomorrow starts without you Eoghan we will not be far apart because every time we think and speak of you just know that you will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace our beautiful oldest brother. With love from Fergal, Brother/Uncle Teddy, and your other siblings Lady(Maisie), Fuzzy, Melody and Saddler Wolf xxxx

PRAYER FOR EOGHAN - RIP My darling grandson, Every time I think my heart can't break any more but if that is the case then why oh why does the grief and pain rip through my body. I give thanks to Alan and God for allowing you to spend your final 21 months with your biological family. I am so very sorry for the circumstances that took you from us but I give thanks for the nearly 12 years that you had. May God stay his hand over thee and guide thee to Daddy Melly and Daddy Alan and may you find peace amongst the fields of gold until such time as we can all meet again. I love you Eoghan and will miss your singing. With all my love Granny. xxxxxxx
