Grace (Diva)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi, I’m Grace’s dad. Grace passed away last Monday (the 11th of July 2022) after a very brave near 9 month battle with cancer. Needless to say my wife and I are still devastated and miss her so much. When we brought Grace home she was unsure of the world around her and of other dogs, but she grew into the most sweet, gentle, kind, protective and loving girl. Everywhere she went she was admired and to say it was an honour to be her dad and mom would be a massive understatement. I don’t think we will ever get over loosing her, but the 6 years that we got to share with her were filled with lots of walks, lots of fuss and many, many treats! She was a super happy girl and a great sister to Monty (our first boy) and Peppie our current boy.

Minnie

Our gorgeous Minnie Moose is doing so well. She is really enjoying her training with her pals Cracker, Padfoot and Woody and is making great progress. Still a nervy girl, her confidence is building and she is handling situations so much better now. These beautiful hounds deserve our time and patience to help them adjust at their own pace to the big, wide, scary world and become happy with themselves and their place in the world. xx

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well done Zavi, you have a really cheeky side at the Kennels. So heartwarming to hear that you behaved so very well on your outing today. What a well behaved boy you were. You definitely need a home with a sense of humor and the time to give you all the attention you need and deserve. You certainly make us smile every day. Xx

Archie (Zavi)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Took the happy boy Zavi to Brueton Park today. He got into the car nicely but wasn’t too sure of it and wanted to look at every passing car. He was very excited when we got to the park and was zig-zagging to try and take in as many smells as possible. At the start he was eager to get people’s attention and to go up to other dogs but as the walk progressed he was happy to walk by my side and wasn’t even giving the other dogs a glance. He came face to face with a smaller dog and was very gentle and his tail never stopped wagging. I’m so proud of his behaviour in the park- you could definitely see improvement as he became more comfortable and relaxed with his surrounding. We look forward to taking him out again xx

Emily (Cristina)
I’m Homed
Took the lovely Christina out to Bruton Park. She happily got into the car and settled nicely and was excited to reach the park. Initially, she was eager to play with other dogs that reacted to her but throughout the walk became more settled and walked past the other dogs as if they weren’t there. Christina was happy to meet other people and walked well on a loose lead. After the park, we ventured into the town centre, which was busier. Again she took everything in her stride and seemed quite comfortable. We took her into a few shops and she wasn’t too keen on stairs but absolutely loved the lift in mountain warehouse. She was fascinated by the mirrors and overall enjoyed all these new experiences. Such a shame that she keeps getting overlooked because of her grey face- I can assure you that she has plenty of energy and love to give. We look forward to taking her out again xx

Thanks to Angie for opening up as usual on a Friday..Ruth was in and had to run some errands. Great to have Chris back from her holiday and Matthew for his help too. We had another new arrival today, the lovely Diva, another young girl. She came in from my Peanut and Coopers trainer, she remembered him and got lots of cuddles. As we were so short of volunteers the dogs had sand run fun as it was much cooler. Mikey went out with Liz and unsurprisingly got a glowing report. Kitty, her mom and sister took Cristina to Solihull this afternoon, she too has experienced the lift in Mountain Warehouse!! She came back to Kennels, had her dinner and crashed out, bless her she will sleep well tonight!! Hoping that the next few days will bring more red and Green signs for our inmates. Xx

Mikey
I’m Homed
Mikey came with me to Elmdon Park today. Unsurprisingly he walked really well and remained unfazed by other dogs in the park, even the little ones that ran at him yapping. His coat is so glossy and he is such a handsome boy. I was a bit worried he wouldn't remember me from the last time he was in the kennels, but I got a thorough licking from him and a good lean. He is such a happy boy xx

What a beauty and so young. Clever girl Belle says play time is much more fun than racing. I think your stay at Daybreaks will be a short one xx

Cristina didn't seem too bothered by the hot weather, she took it all in her stride. :)) She also liked playing with the toys, her favourite was the woolly doll, although she was rather heavy after soaking in the pool for some time and was not that easy to throw around! Xxx

Mikey didn't seem too bothered with the heat today, he enjoyed coming out of his kennel, throwing a few toys around and sitting by the pool. :)) He had a nice cuddle this afternoon from a lady who had dropped some bedding off for us. 🙂 Xxx

Incredibly hot again today! Sadly the residents had to spend a lot of time in their kennels but they were quite cool, we had the fans on and doors and windows closed. They came out several times for a break thorough out the day. Paddling pools out again. :)) Thanks so much to Vonnie and Louisa who came and sizzled at the kennels. I am so grateful for all your help. Vonnie looked very glamorous with a wet tea towel draped around her neck! It certainly helped her to cool down. :)) The dogs wore wet pillow cases...which also worked a treat! :)) One more hot day and then hopefully it will be much cooler... Xxx Hope everyone is managing to keep yourselves and your dogs comfortable and cool. Xxx
