Ruth's corn clinic was open today....the Greyhounds are always so good. Sure they must know she is trying to help them! Xxx We had several visitors this morning. Thanks to Diane, Patric and Ammie for giving everyone a walk. 🙂 It was a lot quieter this afternoon. Mikey went on his trip to Earlswood Lakes. Jan and Gill walked everyone else. 🙂 I did manage to help and go for one walk. I had the pleasure of taking handsome lad Joe. :)) Gorgeous boy. Xxx Thanks so much to Jan for helping me with feeding this afternoon. 🙂 We do have a couple of viewings tomorrow. So keep your fingers crossed we may see someone reserved. Xxx

We can report that Betsy (Blossom) has been a very good girl overnight and is getting on marvelously with Dirk and Matty. We've also discovered that she is a fiend for pizza, and will try and steal it out of your hand or off the plate, lol!

Jim

Mr Jim is a bit of a tinker!! When we opened up this morning, his fleece coat was on the floor of the kennel so when he came out for his breakfast Michael duly put it back on. As I was cleaning the kennels, Michael gave me a shout to have a look at Jim - and we watched as he craftily pulled at the velcro strap on the coat to undo it, then flipped the coat around, lowered his head and the coat slid off onto the ground!! Bless him, very ingenious - methinks pyjamas with legs are going to be the way to go for this beauty. xx

Mikey what a fabulous day out for you - thanks so much Katarina & family for taking you on a special adventure. You are an absolute treasure, and a firm favourite with everyone at Daybreaks, and are such an intelligent boy - you pick things up so quickly and would just love to have lots more fun & challenging activities to do. Fingers tightly crossed that you don't have to wait too much longer. xxx

Hi JustJak91, what a wonderful job you have done on taking care of Tina after the operation on her shoulder. She is so happy and bouncy and healed completely. She has been a very clean girl in her kennel and she does love people! xxx

took mikey out to earlswood lakes today as a family and he was GOLDEN!!! he travelled in the car to and from the kennels perfectly and had no problems- he just settled down nicely and didn’t hear a peep from him. he walked on the lead around the lakes with no pulling and was totally unfazed but passing dogs and people. we then had a break at the earlswood craft centre- a hot chocolate for us and a doggy ice cream for him, kindly given to us by one of the unit holders (old and retro) ,which he devoured in minutes. he was comfortable with other people coming to give him some fuss and attracted a lot of attention with those beautiful brown eyes of his he is a lovely dog and would reward a new owner with bucketfuls of love and loyalty katarina, liljana, jackie and ned xx

Ah sorry to hear about ginger chicken, but I love the fact that like us you take your chickens to the vet when it's their time. People look at us gone out when we say we take our chickens to the vets! Xxx

A busier day today, and dry & sunny too so the boys & girls enjoyed morning and afternoon walks. We had a kind donation of food and treats from a lady that had sadly just lost her dog. Amongst them was an open packet of doggy cheese straws which we decided to try all the residents with - to say they were a hit would be an understatement!!! Lots of lip smacking and pleading looks for seconds bless them, a real treat indeed. The afternoon saw the gorgeous Blossom off to her new home, she has 2 lovely fur brothers to keep her company. Wishing everyone many happy times ahead. x Between baths, nail clipping and sorting the various bags of donations received, the afternoon sped past and it was soon time to tuck the boys & girls in for the night. The Halloween raffle, "Trick or Sweets" and "Bucket O Bones" competitions are now up and running in the office - have a go or two next time you visit. The raffle is being drawn and competition results announced at the Halloween Howl next weekend - and tickets for this are still available - just give the kennels a call. The 2022 Calendars are selling like hot cakes!! As we are having a few problems with the online shop, please give us a call and we can take payment over the phone and post out to you. Well the weekend is here again, and my glass of red wine will be raised later to our lovely residents - wishing you all your forever homes so very soon. Whatever you are up to this weekend stay safe & well, and enjoy. Cheers!! Angie xx

Sending Mikey my cuddle tonight. He went to the vets for his vaccination booster today. What a good lad he was! He really is a super boy, still patiently waiting for someone special to come along. Xxx

We lost one of our chickens today. :(( I heard she wasn't very good yesterday and today when we came in she was really very poorly. Lucy and I took her to our vet and we let her go. God Bless little Ginger. Xxx Mikey was at the vets today too for his vaccination booster. What a good boy he was. He is absolutely no trouble in the car at all. Jumps in and sits straight down. You don't even know he is there. 🙂 Lucy took him in to see our vet. Again he was very well behaved and got a treat for being such a good boy. As he had missed his morning walk we took him for a short walk around by the vets. The sun was out and he enjoyed the change of scenery. 🙂 We both agreed that the family who offers him his forever home will have a wonderful friend and companion. Xxx Alan and Declan had a trip to the warehouse....all was going well until the van decided not to start when they were ready to come back! They thought they would have to wait to be rescued by the Green Flag people but Alan managed to get it going by wiggling a few wires!! Thankfully they arrived back safe and sound. :)) The roof was looked at this afternoon, they did a little patching up but basically we need a new one!!! :((( A big thank you to everyone for all your hard work today. Thanks to Alan and James for the supply of donuts! :)) We needed them! Xxx

I’d be happy to share with Cooper Auntie Jo, if mom would let me have the bird food. I didn’t pick anything else Auntie Kate, only the bird food, makes it harder that that mom said no! I did get my birthday cake, a pack of treats and Salmon and prawns for my dinner though. Yum yum! Xxx
