Happy Jubilee Bank Holiday everyone - and what a busy old day it was too!!! Our crew of walking wounded outnumbered the "fit" doggies, so only 4 could actually go out on a walk! We did enjoy the lovely sunshine on both walks, and it was actually quite warm by the afternoon. The morning saw Chloe reserved - well done pretty girl. Then it was Sammy's turn to be viewed and reserved - yay! And Buddy had a visit from his new owner who is so excited to take him home next weekend. Well the weekend is here again, whatever you are doing over this special celebration weekend enjoy and as ever stay safe. I am in need of a very large glass of wine later after such a busy day, and I will raise it to toast all our boys & girls and wish for forever homes. On a personal note - our little Miss Minnie is settling in really well and we are so enjoying having a hound in our lives again after such a long time. Thanks for everyone's best wishes.xx Cheers! Angie xx

We have teamed up with BuddyCare - who deliver services FREE via a platform called SmartVet, led by Lead Veterinary Nurse, Fiona Eldridge. To give you some background on Fiona, she has been a vet nurse for 23 years, working in practices all over the UK before switching to telemedicine. Ryan from BuddyCare told me: My belief is that Fiona can chat to your patrons about dental health, nutrition, skin issues, behaviour, exercise and weight management. Why not log on and give it a go if you need any advice! https://buddycare.smart.vet/

Last week was greyt, me and the hoomans loved the afternoon tea and entertainment. Me especially loved the lovely brown bag full of goodies!!! I wanted the whole bag but the hoomans made me save some for later… Of course I offered to help share their tea too but that didn’t work. Apparently we have a long weekend for this jubilee thing. This queen, who ever she is, gets so much treatment and celebration I’d like the same. I’ve heard she has two birthdays! I have one coming up this month but I feel a second one should happen after that! If the queen can have two why can’t I? Lubs Monty xx

Norman took Cristina for her first trip to the park on Tuesday. She was very good in the car. When she arrived at the park she was very excited with all the new sights and sounds. She became more relaxed after she had been there a while and had a great time. :)) Thanks so much to Norman for giving her a break from the kennels for an hour or so. 🙂 Xxx

Thank you so much to everyone who supported and sponsored me for my 100 mile bike ride for Daybreaks. Every mile I completed was equivalent to 32 homes found for greyhounds since Daybreaks opened in July 2006. With my Facebook birthday fundraiser, sponsorship via the kennels, a very generous donation from ARC and the JustGiving page I have so far raised £1.516. This is a phenomenal amount and I’m truly grateful xxx If you would still like to sponsor me, you can do this by making a donation by card payment over the phone, by cheque (made payable to Daybreaks Trust) to 10 Coventry Road B26 3QS or log on to my fundraising page at JustGiving.com/DaybreaksRuth x

Dougie
I’m Homed
Ruth took Dougie for a check up at the vets this afternoon. His front paw is doing ok but the vet is concerned about his back paw as it's not healing as well as it should be. :(( He doesn't have a dressing on the front one but is quite keen on licking it! He has gone to bed wearing a sock and has unfortunately had to have his muzzle on. Such a shame, what he really needs to help him recover is a forever home! Lots of love to Dougie. Xxx

Sammy

It was Sammy's turn to be neutered today. He was very sleepy when he got back to the kennels this afternoon. Xxx He did manage to eat his dinner and then we tucked him up in bed. He is such a sweet lad. All the dogs have got fleeces on tonight...have just checked the cameras and they all look comfortable, relaxed and warm. :))

Our very handsome Buddy went off to the vets to be neutered this morning. Thanks so much to Sue for taking him for us. Xxx I picked him up this afternoon. He was such a good boy at the vets and on the journey back to the kennels. He enjoyed his dinner on his return, you wouldn't think he had just had an operation! :)) Xxx Buddy is a super lad, hoping his forever home will soon be his. Xxx

I heard from Jonti's family today with the very sad news to say they have had to let their wonderful lad go to Rainbow Bridge. Xxx He was one of our long stayers and one of my all time favourite Daybreaks residents. 🙂 For the last nine years he has had a truly fantastic, long and happy life. His family are devastated to have lost him. Xxx Thinking of them all and sending lots of love. God Bless your special boy. Kate Xxx
