Josh has settled in well at the moment he has been for a walk with my other two dogs and he has also been in the garden with them and yes he can do stairs but a little bit unsure to come back down on his own but if he has got someone with him he is fine

Buddy came with me to Elmdon Park today. He stood very calmly to be leaded up and we set off at a leisurely pace. Once in the park we met quite a few other breeds. He was happy to say hello to medium and large dogs or even just walk by without greeting them. He was quite confused by the first very small dog that we saw, but by the end of the walk he had relaxed with smaller breeds as well. He is a very handsome chap and on the smaller side for a boy. He was a pleasure to take out. Here's hoping he doesn't have to wait too long for his sofa xx

It was a quiet day for a Saturday today. Angie and Michael did a great job as usual, cleaning and feeding all the dogs before the rest of us arrived. :)) Thanks to all of our young Duke of Edinburgh volunteers for taking everyone out for a walk except for lovely Georgie who is resting after hurting her leg. She is still a very happy, tail wagging girl! :)) Xxx Thanks to Jess for her help too. Xxx We had visits from recently homed Toby, Alex and Florence. Great to see them all. :)) This afternoon it was even quieter but I had plenty of "Help" from my own Skip and Lyra. When I was cleaning the runs Skip came out of the kitchen and promptly did a wee in the run I had just cleaned. :)) They were both a big help when I was trying to put a cover on a duvet...I had put it on the floor ready for the cover when I had a phone call. When I came back they were both stretched out on the duvet! They could have put the cover on first! :))) Bless them, they did make me laugh! Xxx Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!

Another very quiet day, with only a couple of sand run visits and a kind donation of duvets and bedding. After a grey start, and the rain not making up its mind if it wanted to fall or not, it turned into a beautiful afternoon so as well as enjoying 2 walks the boys & girls spent some time lounging in the feeding runs enjoying the sun and playing with toys. Dougie had us in stitches, he was in the run containing the 3 toy boxes and very diligently took each toy out, had a quick play, left it on the floor and kept going back until the boxes were emptied and the run floor was carpeted with toys!! This boy does enjoy a play bless him. Cristina also loves toys, but is very good at "dedding" them unfortunately and a few have been consigned to the dustbin tonight!! Yesterdays newcomers Buddy & Marina are still getting used to their surroundings. Buddy is doing ok, but Marina is sadly quite stressed and has a habit of "paddling" in her water bowl with her front paws, throwing all the water over herself and the floor - then lying down in the resulting puddle! She has a good appetite though, and so we hope that in a few days she will be used to her new home and routine and start to relax. I am over the moon that our Jubilee Afternoon Tea next Saturday has sold out. We have had our final rehearsal for the floorshow which is looking great, so we're all systems go for a lovely afternoon. Thanks everyone who has bought tickets - hope you have a good time. Well the weekend is here again, and its a fairly busy diary so I will finish with my usual wish for forever homes for our residents, and raise a glass or 2 of chilled white wine a bit later to toast this. Whatever you are up to this weekend, as ever stay safe and enjoy. Cheers!! Angie xx

Marina arrived today, she is a very pretty girl. 🙂 She is a little overwhelmed by everything at the moment. Her Trainer says she has been with them for most of her life, so it must be quite daunting to find herself in new surroundings. Hopefully she will soon settle and enjoy her stay at the kennels until her forever home comes along. Xxx

Hi Jetlucy, how lovely to hear Jet was your 'Nans Buddy' 🙂 Xxx Buddy is super! He is quite small for a boy and seems to have a lovely temperament. He was such a good boy when he had a bath and enjoyed sitting in the sun afterwards. Xxx
