Great news that Rivs mom is out of hospital and he is going home to her Sunday. We have had lots of laughs and fun with him and he's been such a good boy. In only 2 weeks totally besotted with him he will be missed so much but it is great news he can return to his mom. Special thanks to My friends Bern and Darc for looking after him on my work days and couldn't have done it without them. I know they have come to love him too. He's a very special dog and deserves his happy ever after so much. Love you Rivs. xxxxx

It started to get very warm again today. We had some lovely ladies who came on a company volunteer day. We were a little late finishing feeding and cleaning this morning so instead of the usual morning walks the dogs all had extra cuddles as well as their daily teeth cleaning and grooming. It was made up to them this afternoon as they had extra long walks down the shady lane. Thanks to everyone for their help today. The decision was taken to temporarily close the sand run whilst essential maintenance is undertaken, we are very sorry for any inconvenience caused, our priority is to the dogs using it. Hopefully it will be up and running soon.

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Sam - (Startofanera - 09 Jan 2013 - 15 Aug 2022) Jackie, Cliff and Billy, had to say goodbye to their wonderful Sam earlier this week. He was taken ill suddenly and passed away within a few hours leaving his family totally heartbroken. Xxx Sam was a true gentleman with a gentle nature. Fostered by Jackie and Cliff "just" for Christmas in 2017....they fell for this beautiful, handsome black lad who was the perfect brother for their gorgeous Greyhound Billy and offered him his forever home. Xxx He has had the most fantastic, happy life with them surrounded by love. Xxx God Bless your Sam. Taken far too soon. Thinking of you all and sending lots of love, we all know how it feels...special hugs to Billy who I know is missing his brother terribly. Kate, Skip, Lyra and Cracker. Xxx

Bocko
I’m Homed
Bocko is quite a stressful, sensitive lad. After discussions with his new owner we thought it would be beneficial to him to go to his new home for a few hours each day this week to help him to get used to his new surroundings. He is doing really well and getting more relaxed with each visit. He was wagging his tail when he saw his new Dad today. Xxx

Angie had her Neutering operation today. She was a little sleepy when she arrived back at the kennels this afternoon. She did eat some dinner later on. Hoping it won't be long before her forever home comes along. Xxx

It turned out to be a busy day today....only Declan and myself in his morning and all but two of our residents decided to leave me a nice poo to clean up in their kennels! :)) Thanks to our lovely Volunteer Diane who forsook walking for cleaning up poo instead! :))) Xxx Thanks to Dec for feeding everyone. :)) Bocko went out for a few hours again and while he was out his companion Prince was reserved. 🙂 Xxx Sue very kindly took Angie off to the vets this morning for her Neutering operation and Richard collected her this afternoon. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for your help...great walking weather warm and pleasant! Xxx

After the sadness of being returned recently it was time to smile today for super Prince. A lovely family came to visit him today and he charmed them of their feet. We were so happy for him today, I think he's going to have a wonderful time in his new home. Another surprise we hadn't realized, Tommy also at Daybreaks is his brother, equally handsome too. Good luck Prince, it was a pleasure to help today xx

Thankfully it was cooler today, thanks to the Wednesday walkers the inmates had morning walks. This afternoon it was Chris and myself so we locked the Kennels and took the dogs around the sand run. Betty didn't want her breakfast but quite happily ate her dinner. She really doesn't know why she is back in Kennels. Bocko went out for a few hours and was far more settled than yesterday when he went out. Fingers crossed all keeps going well.
