Happy Birthday to our cracking lad Cracker! 🙂 He is four today! We all had our usual Birthday egg custards to celebrate. :)) He eats his the same as Skip...licks all the custard out first and then eats the pastry case. :)) Cracker has settled in really well at home, it's lovely to see his character emerging. :)) He loves his food and likes to sit in the kitchen supervising the preparation of his meals. :)) He and Lyra are learning to share the toys and they have been playing in the garden together. Skip is very relaxed with him and they will have a play together too. :)) I have to say it's thanks to John we have Cracker....he asked if he could chose our next dog as the last time this happened was fifteen years ago when we brought our beautiful Twiggy home! :))) Xxx

A very damp and dreary day....however seeing our gorgeous little Blossom reserved certainly brightened the afternoon up! :))) Xxx Yesterday I visited the home of Rio and Ella. Their lovley Mum and Dad, Phil and Sylvia had very kindly collected lots of boxes goodies for the kennels and I went to pick them up. Phil had been up since 7am cooking breakfasts and dinners for all of our boys and and girls, or "Growlers" as Phil likes to call them! 🙂 They loved them! We were all quite jealous of the omlete, hash browns, toast etc for Breakfast and the Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, chicken etc they had for dinner! :))) Thank you so much to Phil and Sylvia fo all the time and effort! Xxx We are so lucky to have so many wonderful supporters for the Greyhounds in our care. Despite the rain our residents had morning and afternoon walks, thanks so much to our hardy volunteers! :)) It was good to see Ruth back today. Although still not feeling brilliant she was able to sort a lot of paperwork with help from Jude and remove corns from Amy's boys Bocko and Prince. :))) Sadly It's that time of year when we all have to get our coats out again! If you could do with a new one for your four legged friend we received a new supply of Winter Blizzard coats this morning. :)) Thanks so much to everyone for your help today. Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!

A miserable damp start to the day, thankfully it did brighten up. Thanks to the lovely volunteers who came in and helped today. All dogs had morning and afternoon walks, apart from Mikey the Younger who went out with Liz for a few hours, she thought she had tired him out, she was very much mistaken! He got back in his kennel and decided it was play time. He had a glowing report from Liz, he has become a firm favourite with many of the volunteers, there must be a loving home out there somewhere for him. He is such a cheeky happy lad and in the right home he will be a fantastic companion. He has waited so patiently and for such long time :(( It was quiet for visitors today, just a food collection and a couple of bedding drop offs, thanks for the bedding, it is always welcome. Well, it's nice to see we are now able to start organizing events, Halloween Howl on 31st October and Santa Paws can now make a return on 5th December after taking a year off!! It feels like we are now able to return to some sort normality. Tickets for both events are available at the kennels or you can order and pay over ghe phone. As always, please stay safe and well everyone. X

Mikey had a walk along the canals today. He was his usual perfect self. He jumped in the car with barely any encouragement and lay down immediately. I didn't hear a peep from him and when we arrived he waited patiently to be told to jump out of the boot. He walked really well and enjoyed a good look around. We turned round at Knowle locks by doing a loop down to the high street. He wanted to have a look in a few shops, but sadly wasn't allowed in. It was a shame, as I know he behaves impeccably in shops too based on my last trip out with him. He did slow down on the way back and I thought I had succeeded in tiring him out. However after a ride in the car and some time in his kennel, I think he was ready for his next adventure. He really is everything that you could want in a dog: fun loving; affectionate; good traveller; great walking companion and very handsome (to name just a few). I'm really hoping that his chance comes along soon. I have everything crossed for him xx
