A big cuddle for new arrival Jo tonight. What a fab boy he is! Had the pleasure of taking him for a walk this morning. He walked beautifully on the lead and was great with all the other dogs. Xxx

Another pleasant day with lots of sunshine. :))It was quiet at the kennels for volunteers. So grateful to Diane and our young volunteers for their help with the walking. I went on a couple of walks too. 🙂 I took Blossom who was a very happy girl 🙂 I also took new lad Jo out. What a lovley boy! Xxx Thanks to Gill, Jan and Jez for taking everyone out for their afternoon walks. 🙂 I saw next year's calendars today, lots of lovely photos of happy hounds! We have the large A3 size at £12 each and the slimline for £7 each. They will make lovely Christmas presents! :)) I usually take all the dogs out for one more wee before bedtime and then treat them to a biscuit when they go back into their kennel. Mikey and Bullet now go back to their respective kennel on their own....jump on their beds and wait for their biscuit. :)) It's great to see but also kind of sad that they have been with us so long they look at it their kennel as home. Really hope it won't be long before they and all our other residents are jumping on beds of their own in their forever homes. Please take a look at our current Daybreaks guests on the website...they are all beautiful and waiting patiently for someone special to come along and take them home. Xxx Xxx

Bullet had an amazing day out yesterday with Tina, Lorna & Trooper. He visited Headway, the brain injury charity, and was an absolute star. There are some lovely photos on the Daybreaks Chat Group Facebook page, he was a great ambassador for Greyhounds. He is such a friendly boy, who loves a cuddle but equally is happy to have some time to himself. He waits so patiently for his turn to come out of his kennel - a real treasure of a boy. xxxx

It was a lovely Autumn day today with plenty of sunshine. Very quiet for visitors so we could catch up with health checks, teeth cleaning & of course the boys & girls enjoyed a lovely morning walk. In contrast this afternoon was slightly nuts!!! Our 3 new arrivals all turned up at the same time, so there was a major flurry of activity to get them all admitted. Arrival checks & health check done, photo taken, bathed, kennel allocated and all accompanying paperwork completed & scanned - x3!!! Three black beauties Jim, Star & Joe - welcome to Daybreaks. Here's hoping they have a good first night and settle into the family soon. As everyone was busy with the new arrivals, I took the other residents out into the sand run in turn for some playtime in the sun. Poor Joey & Tina, who are still on restricted exercise, had to make do with a walk around the run perimeter bless them. It was lovely to see Ruth today, she is still not feeling great but is trying to do a bit at a time - we were on her case making sure she didn't overdo it! Many thanks to Tina, Lorna & Trooper who took the lovely Bullet for a day out. They went to the brain injury charity Headway in Rubery and apparently Bullet was an absolute star! Tina will post an update on his page later. He really enjoyed his day out - and was definitely ready for his supper on his return! x Don't forget tickets for the Halloween Howl are available from the kennels, if you cant pop in to collect we will happily post them out & take payment over the phone. Our lovely Daybreaks calendars & Christmas Cards (sorry to mention that word!!) will be on sale during the evening. Well another weekend is here, and another Friday night raising of a wine glass to toast our new arrivals, our lovely existing residents and our foster doggies - may your forever home soon be with you. Whatever you are up to this weekend, as always, stay safe! Cheers! Angie xx

Tina joined myself last weekend to the Midlands dog show. She was a her usual happy self and you wouldn't know she had recently broken her shoulder! She met lots of people and lots of other dogs - including greyhounds and non greyhounds in which she greeted with enthusiasm. She managed to gain herself a rosette in "prettiest bitch" in which she came 2nd place 🙂 xx

It was a quiet day for visitors today so we were able to catch up on a few jobs. Yvonne was busy sorting donated bedding while Richard made lots of noise fixing the roof again. :)) It doesn't help that we get more heavy, torrential rain than we used to. 🙁 Thanks Richard. Xxx He and Declan also helped Bob out with some things he needed doing. Xxx It was good to see Ruth back today. :)) Although not feeling great, she and Jean did a good job of sorting out the trackers. Xxx Norman and Blossom had a nice trip to park this morning. Blossom is a real bundle of fun and so very affectionate. Thanks so much for taking her Norman. Xxx The other dogs enjoyed their morning and afternoon walks. Xxx We are expecting another three new arrivals this week. 🙂 We are hoping new homes will soon come along for our current Daybreaks Greyhounds....every single dog is a special boy or girl just wanting someone to love and somewhere to call their home. Xxx Xxx

Betsy (Blossom)

Blossom paid her first visit to Elmdon park today after arriving at Daybreaks on Friday. Her trainer has said she is a friendly girl who is good with other greys but wasnt cat or small dog friendly. This proved to be true as she did get very excited by small dogs but appeared to be fine with the larger other breeds. Although keen on the lead she did not pull excessively. She seems a mixture of very relaxed (as in the car and in her kennel) and very excitable as with the smaller dogs. Blossom is very people friendly . Has a lovely inquisitive nature and I'm sure will be a wonderful addition to her future home

Hope, Snip and Rigsby would like to thank Billy for coming to stay for a while as they have been (finally) introduced to the wonderful tastiness of custard creams. They also want to know why their mum and dad haven’t provided them with this joy before this when they have lived with them for up to 9 years. Disgraceful owner behaviour 🙁

We had some extra help today, Jo and Colin from HSBC joined us on a voluntary day from their place of work. Our residents enjoyed the extra fuss and attention. :)) We were very grateful for the extra help. 🙂 Mikey took them into the sand run and was very happy to show them how fast he can run! Xxx Many thanks to everyone for your help today. Xxx Our current residents are absolutely adorable! If you would like to meet any of them please give us a call to arrange a visit to the kennels!

It was so lovely to meet Joey today. He is super affectionate and loves cuddles. He is still a puppy albeit a big one! He thinks everyone is his friend (and why wouldn't they be). Huge cuddles xxxx

Hello to all Greys and humans Just a quick message as Stanley will be 13 on Wednesday. Bit doddery but otherwise doing ok except for slight nick when Tim clipping his nails. Settling into their new home and climbed on sofa and was just getting comfy when Tim spotted him. I'm sure Tim will give him plenty of cake, Daisy too. Take care. Love Spanner (aka Anna) xxx
