Dylan (Big Boy) (Delux)
I’m Homed
Heartbreakingly Big Boy as he is known is coming back to Daybreaks after being homed 4 years ago as his owner has passed away. He unfortunately needs major dental work doing so we will be getting that sorted as soon as he arrives in the next day or so and we would be desperate to find a foster/forever home for him asap. He is a big softy and at 8 years old just needs a comfy sofa to retire on!

Today was a quiet one for volunteers especially after the kennels feeling like New Street Station yesterday! Karla was in to help me clean and feed and Paul and Debs for walkies. INot forgetting it’s Wednesday which means toasted tea loaf day!!! It was then playtime and treats - I will post a video of some of the residents having fun with their enrichment onto our Daybreaks Trust Chat Facebook group later. Chris was in to help this afternoon whilst I attacked some paperwork and some more sorting of our back storage area. I had kisses from my handsome fella (Spirit) and not having favourites- he kept me company in the office! With love in the air give those you love an extra big cuddle tonight xx

Yesterday I took Nat out on trial to a new home.... she has got a fabulous garden to run about in and undivided attention. One of the requests was 'will she go on the sofa'? She must have heard and jumped straight up to give kisses to her new mum!

We went to visit Spirit today with our little boy, this little gentle soul stole our hearts as he has many others. We couldn't not offer him a home and reserved him on the spot. Had to drag myself away because I didn't want to leave him. Staff were amazing, we can't wait to bring him home????

A big cuddle for River tonight. :)) Thanks so much to Norman for taking her for a visit to the park today. Xxx This afternoon we needed to take her out of her kennel for some work to be done on the wiring. River was having a well earned snooze and didn't want to move...instead she rolled on to her back, legs in the air and waited for a tummy rub! Several tummy rubs later, she decidied to come out for a treat! :)) She is a very happy young lady who will make a lovely friend and companion. Xxx

River

Rivers trainer has told us that she is a very loving girl who can be bouncy and loves people. Having taken her to Elmdon Park today I can confirm those comments are 100% spot on. She travelled quietly in the car and when first meeting small dogs did get quite bouncy. However the more time we spent walking she became accustomed to other breeds and at the end of the walk was snuggling up to two Golden Retrievers. Perhaps some caution may still be needed at first with very small dogs but I'm sure in time she will become used to them also. Although enthuastic on the lead she doesn't pull excessively. She absolutely loves affection and hopefully that loving home will soon arrive for this very attractive brindle girl

Kevin

I had a special visit from Kevin today all the way from Scotland! This was the fella who I drove all the way to Devon a couple of years ago to live with a lady who needed a cat friendly boy to arrive and I was told he was a bit too big! Anyway he has landed on his paws and it was absolutely wonderful to have cuddles with him again. He had a burst in the sand run and then jumped back in the car on his travels again. He and his wonderful owners have made me smile today xxx

Nat
I’m Homed
Our lovely Nat is finding it hard to settle with us at the moment. Think she is missing her previous kennels, and her trainer. She is a lovely girl, very gentle and affectionate, loves people. She is just not happy to be in her kennel. What she needs is a sofa with her name on it and someone to snuggle up to. Fingers crossed she won't have to wait too much longer. Xxx

A special day at the kennels...lots of Valentines Day Pampers! It was great to see so many ex Daybreaks Guests and their families. :)) Laura and Michael were kept busy all day, and exhausted by the time their last client left, smelling and looking beautiful! Xxx It has proved so popular that we have another Valenetines Day Special next Saturday. Xxx Our lovely Pan, now called Rocky came in for a health check. He looks fab and was so very happy. He left looking very handsome in a new foxy fleece. :)) It was so nice to see his great family again. Xxx Poor little Winnie started limping this morning. 🙁 We think she has something in one of her pads...Jess and I tried to see what it was but without success. We are hoping Ruth will be able to sort her out tomorrow. Xxx Winnie is such a sweet girl, hoping her forever home will soon come along. Xxx Sarah took enrichment for the dogs to another level today! She recreated Stonehenge on a licki mat using various dog treats. :)) It was amazing and it was instantly recognisable. It was a shame to see it get eaten! Sarah is hoping to become a vet, but I'm sure she could also be an artist! Xxx :)) Thanks so much to all of our fabulous volunteers for your help today. Xxx. A special mention to Diane and Caroline, Saturday regulars...they are recovering from Covid. Lots of love to you both. Xxx

Lots and lots of love to you all Auntie Kate Xxx xxx

Chas
I’m Homed
Hello- is me Chas, has been a few interesting weeks since my Auntie Kate kissed my head and told me I was a good boy!! So I has been staying wif Joe - he also knows Auntie Ruth and Auntie Kate ! Amazing. I have been learning all kinds of things - mainly don’ts - dont steal out washing baskets, don’t jump over the fence, don’t climb over the fence, don’t eat next door but ones cat - is very fluffy new Muvva says it will give me indigestion. So I has been eating my dinner and my breakfast I has eaten Chippys they are good, also Joe and I shares Pizza crust with new Muvva. I am a gentle boy when I takes a treat. Joe and I did have a couple of shouting matches and it wasn’t my fault but Joe did manage to bite his own face ! He put his tooth through his lip so Muvva knows it was him !!. We are quite friendly and both likes to follow Muvva everywhere she is going but she says we is a lot of greyhound to be in the way. Still she needs us to make sure she is safe so we will carry on being there for her. I am pretty sure that I will stay here the only problem is the stairs- I did sneak up on the second night but came down with much noise and drama so not sure they are safe for me! Joe runs up and down but I am just waiting at the bottom. New Muvva says my legs is toooo long for stairs and I am toooo heavy to be carried anywhere!! . Lubs to all Chas . PS New Muvva is going to put a couple of pictures on Facebook. Xxx
