It actually felt more like spring today! Great to see the sun for a change...the dogs all went out without their coats on this morning! :)) I think Norman was quite pleased he didn't have to take Elm to the park wearing her bright yellow fleece adorned with Dinosaurs! :))) Roxie absolutely loved being out in the sunshine and spent several minutes rolling around on one of the raised beds in the run legs in the air! Xxx We welcomed new lad Ojay to Daybreaks this afternoon. A very handsome lad. Xxx He arrived Just in time for enrichment games and throughly enjoyed himself. :)) it was very quiet for walkers this afternoon, Shirley and I left Richard in charge and took the dogs out for their walks. Again no coats! :)) I had the pleasure of walking Billy B, Incy and Alder. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone who came in to help look after the dogs today! 🙂 Xxx

Ojay arrived at the kennels this afternoon...what a very handsome young man! Xxx His Trainer says he is a lovely lad who only had one race. He was retired straight away after a wrist injury. He told me Ojay is not a big fan of water, if he sees a puddle he walks around it. :)) Richard and Shirley offered to give him a bath...we were not surprised when he really didn't like getting wet. Shirley got rather wet too! He was very happy when he was wrapped in a nice dry towel coat and had his dinner. :)) Welcome to Daybreaks Ojay! Xxx

Elm is a very attractive bouncy girl who paid her first visit to Elmdon Park today. She travelled in a relaxed way in the car In the park she was quite keen on the lead and wanted to join in with dogs running off their leads She met other breeds without aggression although did show extra curiosity towards very small ones. A friendly girl who will make a wonderful addition to any home

Our three little sisters are beginning to settle at the kennels, not so much poo this morning! :)) They are absolutely gorgeous! It was lovely to see them going off for a walk together this morning. 🙂 Xxx They remind me of my little Lyra...without the spots! :)) I wonder what it would be like to have all three of them at home! :))) Bonkers but lots of fun!! Xxx New lad Roxie is doing well too. He enjoyed his walk...despite the hail! Xxx Laura was very busy today, with five pampers! It was great to see lots of ex Daybreaks guests and their owners. Xxx Thanks so much to all of our volunteers for all your help today. :)) Xxx

Sadly due to tragic circumstances concerning her owner this little lass is coming back into our care. I’m therefore appealing for an urgent home for Jenny affectionately known as Boo. Her owner tells me she is a big couch potato (aren't they all) She has lived with three children and three cats. She loves zoomies in the garden. Walks lovely on her lead, always has done Still has appalling recall in the dog park. She's an affectionate older girly, loves cuddles.. sighs a lot if you're in 'her' spot on the sofa. She did have a big bed, she didn't like it, got a smaller one, she's always in it.. go figure.. she is just a wonderful girl, good with her food, walks etc. X If you can help please call the kennels x
