It's just not been a good week for our lovley Mikey R...Tuesday he was neutered and had lots of teeth removed and today he has an infection in his paw! He is a really wonderful lad who needs a wonderful home where he can get lots of TLC. He would be a fabulous lad to have around, his happy disposition and love of life would certainly brighten your day. To have double the joy, why not take his lovely kenenel mate , Lady too! :)) Sending him my cuddle tonight. Xxx

When we arrived this morning poor Mikey R had a very swollen front leg. 🙁 Our vet was great and as we had Billy booked in for his neutering op this morning managed to see Mikey too. He has an infection and has antibiotics. Hoping he will soon be feeling better. Billy's neutering op went well and I was able to pick him up quite early and he was home for dinner time. :)) He was very nervous having to go into the vets but he was such a good boy while he was there. Xxx Our beautiful little Annie went off to her new home today. :)) Have everything crossed for her. Xxx We also had another new arrival, gorgeous Joy. So cute and such a petite girl. Xxx Thanks to everyone for their help today. Alan and Declan had a trip to the warehouse....we are very grateful to Bob for letting us use his van Our poor little vehicle decided it wasn't going to start today! Many thanks to everyone who helped out today. So grateful to Richard for helping me take Mikey R and Billy to the vet this morning. Xxx

Well, I should think so too!!! I think it will take more than coffee making to make up for your lack of commitment!! Seriously, hope you are having a lovely time (will deal with you on Wednesday) lol. Xxx Thanks for your kind words about Mike Stewart Lawrence, such a lovely genuine man, who, on his first visit to Daybreaks to use the sand run was adamant that he wanted to support us by holding a gig, sadly Covid hit and it was put on the back burner. He was so very passionate about helping us. So very sad that his dream did not come to fruition.

Due to the complaints about our lack of appearance for Wednesday morning walks, we have decided we will drag ourselves away from sunny Cyprus at the weekend and be back in time for next week. I will make the coffees to make up for our misconduct.!! On a more serious note, we were saddened to hear about the sudden passing of Mike Stewart Lawrence. Thinking of his family and hoping his dog, Jodie is OK. Xx

A relatively quiet day for visitors today. Many thanks to everyone who came in to help with the dogs, those that could had morning and afternoon walks. Mikey the Older was very bright after his neutering and dental yesterday, despite being 20 teeth lighter he still enjoyed his breakfast and dinner today. Two of our Wednesday walkers had the audacity to go on holiday, they didn't even ask permission, what a cheek, their card is marked and they have been noted as absent, they will be dealt with upon their return!! We had two lovely new arrivals, Paddy, a lovely young black dog and Tiff a slightly older brindle girl. Thanks to our lovely college work experience student Annie for helping with health checking, bathing and learning how we add the dogs to the website. She also walked her namesake who is due to go home tomorrow. We have two new arrivals due over the next couple of days, both boys. It was great to see Lynne and Simon with their doggie family, I think Skip, Sam and Naddie needed to expel some much needed energy in the sand run, hopefully it worked!! It's with great sadness I have to post that Mike Stewart Lawrence who's band were doing a fundraiser for the kennels and was a regular sand run user on a Wednesday and Sunday missed his appointment last Wednesday. I was about to call him to make sure everything was ok. Before I could I had a call from his dear friend and backing singer asking if we had seen him. Very sadly, when access to him home was gained , it was found that he had very sadly passed away. He was in his favourite chair and looked so very peaceful. Such a gent and a wonderful character. He will be sadly missed. It's ironic that his fundraiser should have been on 11th September and was postponed. Thinking of his family, friends and his dog Jodie. Sorry to end on such a sad note, makes it all the more important to stay safe and look after each other. X
