Brooke is a beautiful dark brindle. She was unsure when she first arrived but settled down as the day went on.

Over the Rainbow Bridge
I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who made a comment for my beloved Paddy. Its going to take a long time to recover from losing him but your kind words and memories will help. Right now the large Padster shaped hole hurts like hell and I keep expecting to see him on his bed when I go in the lounge. He was such a wonderful friend and companion for over 7 years, fortunately I have so many lovely photo and video memories of him. A true gentleman who loved everyone he met xx

Daybreaks Diary!

It's been another beautiful day today - lots of lovely sunshine and our boys & girls (and volunteers too) have enjoyed walks without coats, and some basking in the sunshine too! Alex was as bright as a button today following his neutering yesterday. He quite enjoyed lounging in the feeding run whilst the others went out on their walks. This morning saw the arrival of 2 lovely new girls into the Daybreaks family, Brooke & Molly. Brooke is a gorgeous dark brindle, so dark in fact that you have to be up close to see her lovely markings. Both are understandably a bit bewildered by the change in their circumstances, but it didn't stop Brooke tucking into her supper. Molly was less enthusiastic and really didn't want any food, let's hope she feels more like it in the morning. Hopefully they will both have a good night and start to settle in soon. x This afternoon saw our fabulous River reserved - yay! He will be off to his new home in a couple of weeks after his owner gets back from her holiday. We had plenty of volunteers today so all health checks were completed, and lots of tidying up was undertaken. I also got 2 lines of washing dry! Well another weekend is upon us, time is just racing by - it's crazy. The diary looks full again, so it's raise a glass and fingers crossed that we see some red or green signs by Monday morning. Whatever you're up to this weekend, stay safe and enjoy - and let's hope this lovely weather holds. Cheers! Angie xx

I took Alex off to the vets this morning to be neutered. He was a little stressed when he arrived at the vets but I left him in the care of their lovely staff Debbie and Izzy. I collected him this afternoon and he enjoyed his dinner when he got back to the kennels. :)) Hoping he will have a good nights sleep. Xxx It was good to see Alan and Belle today. We all knew and understood how he was feeling after saying goodbye to his beloved Paddy yesterday. Xxx We had lots of help to walk the dogs today, thanks so much to everyone. It was great to see them all go out and enjoy the sunshine. :)) Xxx Lucy came to see us today! Xxx As you can see from the fab new photos of a lot of the dogs, she brought her camera with her! Thanks so much Lucy. :)) Xxx We also had a visit from our good friends Tash and John. They very kindly dropped off some items for our upcoming Easter raffle. It was lovely to see them. Xxx I'm very grateful to everyone for looking after the kennels whilst I did the vet runs today! :)) Xxx We have two new arrivals due tomorrow...two little girls. :)) Xxx

Lots of love to you Alan, and of course the lovely Belle. Paddy was a special boy, so many of us have such fond thoughts of him, take comfort in knowing what a loved houndie he was, he lived a long and happy life with you. Run fast and free paddy x

Tomorrow is "baby Sam's" 5th birthday. I've just been looking at his photos which are from 3 years ago and, apart from the scar which is a lot less prominent (bitten by his kennel mate before coming to kennels I believe), he looks no different! He's got no white on him at all which is unusual for a black dog of his age. Soon it'll be 3 years from when we fostered him and then his 3rd Gotcha Day. He's a funny one indeed, but aren't they all in their own special way?

I’m so very sorry that lovely Paddy has made his way to the bridge to join his sisters. I remember meeting him years ago at a roadshow, it might have been Melbicks and he was such a lovely and unique fella. What a fantastic retirement he’s had, with lots of adventures and many happy times which we followed in his blog. A life well lived and chock full of love, which is exactly what we want for them. Run free Paddy, with legs full of renewed life. Sending virtual hugs to your hoomans too because we can imagine how they must be missing you xx

Such very sad news... Xxx Paddy was an absolute gentleman. I remember when he first arrived at Daybreaks, a very handsome lad unique because he only had one ear! Xxx We were all so happy when Alan took him home because we knew he would be loved so much and have a fabulous life. He was Alan's best friend. Xxx Thinking of you all and sending lots of love. God Bless you Paddy, have fun at Rainbow Bridge. Xxx Lots of love Kate, Skip, Lyra and Cracker. Xxx

I was so very sad hear that Padster had crossed the bridge today. He was indeed a very special boy who was loved so very much. Padster, your legs will now do what you wanted them to and I very much expect that your interest in cats and squirrels will be reignited. Run fast and free gorgeous boy, much love to your family, reunited with those who have gone before. Xx
