Today is Skip's 4th Gotcha Day. The day started with walks then there were treats including mackerel in tomato sauce sandwiches. New toys arrived - one each - this afternoon so there was a bit of play time. You are a truly wonderful companion and make me laugh when you throw your toys around the room and do mad zoomies. Love you loads my Skip. x

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Thanks to Denise for opening up and getting on with the cleaning and feeding as usual. We only had a few dogs to walk as we had a couple of doggie non walker's today, thanks to the Wednesday walkers for taking the dogs out, making coffee (which sadly did go cold) and sending toasted fruit loaf my way!! We had a new arrival this morning, the lovely Zavi, I think he and Dougie will have a competition to see who is the best at stealing!! He very carefully tried to remove the donation trolley cover, I managed to stop him before he succeeded. As we were very few on volunteers this afternoon Denise, Nabeela and myself took the dogs that could walk on lead around the sand run, I took Zavi, I think his sat nav was broken as he was all over the place. He is very affectionate and am sure after a few days he will settle down, after all it is a completely new environment for him. Tomorrow we have another new arrival, I will look forward to seeing her on Friday. X

Sahara (Socki)

Socki paid her first visit to Elmdon Park today She's an extremely pretty and affectionate white and brindle girl with a very gentle nature in the kennels She did surprise me then slightly by the way she sprang into life at the sight of other dogs running around in the distance. She was very keen to join in and also the sight of squirrels sent her into overdrive. She did however walk past other breeds with no extreme reaction. It seems she's fine with dogs walking past but gets excited when they're running around. A lovely girl who will hopefully find her forever home very quickly.

Dougie
I’m Homed
If there is one hound who puts a smile on everyone faces at Daybreaks then its Dougie. He is one big bundle of laughs as he skillfully pinches items from the donation trolly and then looks as if to say hmm it was like that when I got here. Even his recent unfortunate injury didn't slow him down or stop him bouncing with fun. I think if he was a stand up comedian then he would be Tommy Cooper, not having to do much to make people laugh. I can see him enjoying himself playing with teenage children chasing after his toys. Its a shame he is still waiting for his forever home, he has so much love to give and there would never be a dull moment with him. He needs his forever home..."just like that" xx

Dougie
I’m Homed
Our fabulous Dougie is getting very bored of kennel life...as he hasn't been able to go for a walk for a while because of his injured paws he has been looking for things to do. :)) He loves trying to get things off the donation trolley and has got this down to a fine art! He had a Kong stuffed full of goodies while he was sitting out in the big run which he loved. 🙂 Then he decided to pull the stuffing out of a toy and had to have a snake taken off him as he was working his way down the snakes body removing all the squeakers! :)) He would be great fun to have at home and be a constant source of amusement to his lucky family! He is a very happy boy eager to start a new chapter in his life. Xxx Hope he doesnt have to wait too much longer. Sending him my cuddle tonight.:(( Xxx

Sammy (Del Boy)

Sammy (Del Boy) came home for the day to meet the family today and he was a real star. Although he was a bit overwhelmed at first he soon settled down, meeting first Greyhound Belle who loved him and decided a bit of flirting was in order (little madam!) Next came chocolate spaniel Ruby who said a hesitant hello. She is like a teddy bear and just wants to play, I'm sure it won't be long before Sammy will be joining in the fun. Lastly comes black spaniel Vandel who tends to prefer playing with his toys. He had a little grumble then ran off after his ball, he likes to think he's in charge. Later on he was more of a gentleman and tail wagging said a proper hello. Sammy then tried every bed before settling down on the biggest one for a snooze. He loved his adventure today meeting his new family, sniffing out the garden and having treats. He's a very gentle boy and loves everyone, looking forward to his homing. After we got back to Daybreaks, his dinner was ready. I left him tired out but he managed a yawn and a grin...he's just fab xx

Max came with me today to Elmdon Park. He was absolutely perfect. He walked steadily, always on a loose lead. We met lots of dogs in the park and he wasn't bothered by any of them. At one point we was surrounded by about half a dozen small dogs and he completely ignored them. He's a stunning colour and would make a very handsome addition to any family. Good luck Max xx

What a lovely update on Timmy. He sounds like he’s progressed so well in his time with Erik and is now well and truly ready for his forever home. Fingers crossed for him and thanks to Erik for working his magic with this handsome boy x
