Cracker

Cracker went on his first holiday last week. 🙂 We all went to Woolacombe in Devon. Skip and Lyra have been many times and always enjoy themselves. Xxx Cracker was a really good boy and had a great time. He must have seen nearly every possible breed of dog there! Once he had sniffed a few he realised that although they didn't look like a Greyhound they were dogs too! It was really lovely to be able to spend lots of time with Cracker, Skip and Lyra. 🙂 Xxx

What a lovely, sunny day! Hard to believe it is September. :)) We had another new student and a new volunteer start today. Welcome to Mollie and Josh. 🙂 After being away on holiday last week I was hoping our gorgeous couple Lady and Mikey might have found their forever home together....maybe this week! Xxx We are expecting some new arrivals later this week. :)) Jacko, (Horgans Magic) who has been on our website as coming soon will not be coming to Daybreaks. He has found his forever home with his owners. Wishing him a very happy new life. Xxx

A much quieter day in contrast to the manic goings on of yesterday! A massive thanks to everyone for their help today, we had a new Duke of Edinburgh volunteer today...Lois. She really got into the Daybreaks swing of things, she did walks, helped with a health check and generally got stuck in :)) Thanks too to Ricky and Jess who took Mikey the Younger out for the day. I think they must have taken a different dog with them, although wary of some men, he totally fell for Ricky (mutual feelings me thinks)! He met lots of dogs of all shapes, sizes and nature. He was totally amazing. He also experienced being around crowds of people and again was fantastic. He had such a glowing report, it must be his turn for a forever home soon. As it was quieter for visitors it meant that some jobs that have sadly fallen behind with being sorted were done. The drainage channels in the kennel blocks were thoroughly scrubbed, hosed and disinfected. Dave and I sorted the dog coats in the shop and updated the stock on the till, we have some lovely fleeces in stock, I could have spent a fortune (probably still could) but decided to be sensible (how boring) and check what I have at home first. I still think Good Boy Flloyd would look rather fetching in the pink llama fleece, he is often mistaken for a girl as he is very small for a boy!! Thanks to Steve and Sue for collecting donations from Pets at Home in Stratford, it was lovely to see them...it's been a while. Hoping everyone is staying safe and well. Take care.

What a whirlwind of a day!!! I saw Holly off out on trial this morning, Reggie and Ronnie had their nails cut and corns sorted, Razzle was next for a big corn to be dug out. I saw Katie and Mo for nail clipping along with Cal. Poor Poppy came up for nails and corns too. We sent Mac out to foster, we sorted out loads of donations that were brought in and the sand run was busy as usual. We spent time with Billy who is coming out of his shell and cleaned the teeth and groomed all of the inmates. Thank you to the fabulous volunteers who helped walk today and also to keep me sane! I couldn't do it without you all x

There was a definite touch of Autumn in the air today as it was very misty first thing, but it turned into a beautiful day with some lovely sunshine. Our boys & girls enjoyed both morning and afternoon walks. Our Friday Team doubled in size as we welcomed 3 new students from Solihull College. All on Animal Welfare & Management courses, they will be doing their work placements with us until next Summer. There is so much for them to learn, it must be quite daunting, but they threw themselves in with enthusiasm and were surprised at just exactly what it does entail to keep the kennels running on a daily basis - it's not just about walking the dogs!!! We hope they enjoy their time at Daybreaks and learn lots. It was a very quiet day for visitors so with the students able to pick up the walking, I was able to stay on site and finally tackle rearranging the dog kitchen - apologies to Ruth, Kate & Jo if they can't find anything now!!! Amazingly the weekend is here again - the diary is incredibly busy tomorrow, it looks like Ruth is going to spend the day on her knees tackling corns!! "Young" Mikey is doing very well with his training for bolting his food. When we put his bowl down we make him "wait" until he has calmed down before he can go and eat. It didn't take him long to pick this idea up, and although you can see he is absolutely bursting to get to his food, he will calm down & wait to be released. Bless him, he is such a lovely boy and would love to find the right home soon. I shall be raising a nice glass of white wine later to toast all our boys & girls - may forever sofas soon be theirs. Our "Mr & Mrs" "Old" Mikey & Lady are still hoping for that special someone to offer them a home together, and nervous boy Billy would like a home with a companion to give him confidence. Although having said that he is coming along really well now, it really is just a matter of time and patience for him. Well, whatever you are up to this weekend please stay safe. Cheers! Angie xxx

We are desperately hoping that Lady and 'older' Mikey can be homed together. They came from Ireland together and were kenneled together for five years, their trainer tells us that he would like them to be homed together. Lady looks to Mikey for confidence, they do make a fantastic couple. So Mook, if you want to adopt another two, give us a call!

Bullet has not arrived at the kennels, so sadly we cannot confirm if he is cat friendly or not.

Thanks as always for everyone's help today. It was lovely to welcome Paul back to the Wednesday walkers team, its been a long time since we last saw him. We were also happy to welcome Annabel to Daybreaks, she is one of our placement students from Solihull College, really hope she enjoys her time with us and learns lots to help to develop her career working with animals. The weather was kind once again so the inmates (all apart from Lady who is post op) enjoyed two nice walks. It was a quiet day for visitors, just food collections and bedding donations. I had an update this morning about Libby, she is settling really well, so very happy for her and her family. Nervous boy Billy is gaining in confidence every day, there were several of us who throughout the day went and sat in his kennel with him. I even got a kiss!! A belated thanks to everyone who came to Tiggys Greyt Get Together on Sunday, what a fantastic amount you all raised for us to look after the kennel dogs....Amazing. As always, stay safe and well. Hopefully we can get some more events booked and see lots more of you soon.
