Does anyone live in the Wednesbury/West Bromwich area? We have had an offer of a donation of tinned food but sadly the lady doesn't drive and would need to meet somewhere in that area.

So, so sad. Michael & I are keeping Lynne and indeed all the family in our thoughts. Simon will be very much missed, he may now rest in peace and be free from pain. xx

Such terribly sad news. Thinking of Lynne and all the family. Thinking also of Sam, Skip and Nadie, Lynne and Simons beautiful Greyhounds. I know he adored them. Simon did a lot of work at the kennels during lockdown and he would joke about what task Ruth had in store for him each day....he passed every test with a smile! A truly lovely person. God Bless. Xxx

I received this very sad news this morning, it was not put on my earlier post as Lynne and both families were not ready to announce this terribly sad news until they were ready. At the moment I am still trying to find the right words to express exactly what I want to say to celebrate such a wonderful, caring and loving persons life and legacy. When I do I will share with you all. Sincere condolences and love to everyone who had the honour, privilege and good fortune to know such a wonderful person. Jo xxx

Lynne has asked me to post on her behalf of her Husband, Simon Stevens. Simon was a Daybreaks volunteer who told me the kennels gave him ‘a purpose in life’. Simon fell asleep peacefully yesterday evening with Lynne and his mum Julie by his side. He will be deeply missed but his legacy will live on. My love and thoughts go to his family and friends. XxxxxX

A greyt start to the day! My Gummers (Max) sadly has a nasal tumour and is on various medications including steroids which make him drink more and obviously wee more. So just before 5 o'clock he decided to have a wee but on my bed!! So bedding changed and duvet put in washing machine we got back into bed, within a few minutes my husband decided to be violently sick. Poor Asbo Arry and his dog bed bore the brunt of this. Cleaned Asbo down, another load of washing on and all before reaching the kennels. The day didn't improve much, we had a little stray dog come in, she was chipped, but sadly we were unable to contact her registered owner. Messages were left on their mobile message service to call (no other info was given just our phone number). This afternoon I took her to Birmingham Dogs Home. She was such a little sweetie and very well behaved. Good luck to her. On the plus side, Joey foun himself reserved, yay! Massive thanks to everyone for their help today, we were shorter on numbers than usual and big thanks to Denise for letting me leave a little earlier and cover the kennels to go and carry on with the mayhem and cleaning up at home from this morning. Thanks too to Liz Beth for taking Flower to the park, she was an absolute star and her only reaction was to a squirrel, well done little girl. X

Huge thanks Elizabeth for taking the beautiful Flower on an outing today. She is such a sweetheart, obviously still curious about the outside world and all it contains, and just needing a little bit of extra guidance until she feels really comfortable. Fingers crossed for you my poppet. xx
