lt is so very heartbreaking to read this sad news. Many of us know that Basil hasn't been in good health for quite some time now. Ruth, l remember you saying to me about this time last year, that you didn't think he would see his thirteenth birthday...but he did...and you and Rob have given him another year of love and care. You know yourselves, that if your hearts are telling you that it is time to let him go...then it is the last kind thing that you can do for him. Our thoughts are with you, and Basil, at this sad time...and l know that you will be giving him so much love tonight. X.

My heart breaks to write this but our precious Basil has become too poorly to continue and we have Christian from Fivelands vets coming tomorrow to help him go to sleep. We have had Basil since 2004 and he has brought us so much joy and will continue to in all our fabulous memories of him. XxxxxxX

At Daybreaks we pride ourselves on being there to support owners and of course their dogs. it is so easy to be judgmental about a returnee but please remember a dog comes back to us for a reason and in the case of Podge it was the right decision for all concerned. It can be a very distressing experience for those involved and sadly negative comments can make it worse. Please try to help us support those who genuinely care for their dogs and doing the right thing.

Ode looks a beauty, seems he is still finding his feet. I aam sure he will do so. Hopefully he is moving to a new home soon sounds like he is already a well behaved boy. that should fit well with anyone.

What a shame that podge has been returned. Whilst common sense will say that the home needs to be in the best interest of the dog, it is still disappointing (for all concerned) when it does not workout. On a positive note, all have learned and can use that with the new parents to be. I cannot imagine him being at Perry Bar for long when we saw him during a visit with Charlotte he was posing and enjoying the sun and he looks beautiful. Podge the forever sofa will not be a long wait I am sure (I hope these are not famous last words). Have a cuddle form Charlotte's family.
