Mac hasn't bothered to unpack his bags as he was reserved today! Xxx He is a lovely lad. Norman took him for a trip to the park this morning, he was a very good boy. :)) He came back just in time to meet his prospective new family! Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
To follow the very hot weather earlier this week we had a monsoon today! Pleased to say we didn't get any thunderstorms to frighten the dogs although they were all a little apprehensive when the rain was hammering on the kennels roof. Luckily it was after the morning walks so no one was caught in the rain. 🙂 Richard and Declan put two Gazebos up in the sand run ready for the open day on Sunday. They also repaired the guttering on the bottom kennel block after the rain. Bless them! 🙂 Xxx We had a new student start today....it's been a very long time since we had any students at the kennels. Many thanks to Shirley for looking after her for the day. Xx We have several more joining us over the next few weeks. It was great to see Mac reserved already! A very happy and friendly boy. 🙂 Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for your help today. :)) Xxx

Steve (Warrior)

I have to report that I have a cross between Oliver Twist and the Thief of Bagdad living in our house. Aka "Steve" He has learnt most of the rules of the house from me and Fat neck Finn, but the "Kleptomania" is no better, lol. This morning I heard a crash in the room next to the kitchen and put my head around the door to see the bowl and oranges on the floor and Steve heading off with one in his mouth! He had obviously decided if we eat them they must be good! I am also beginning to wonder if he is a budding alcoholic ! I have a whiskey liqueur every night, and my husband a cognac, Unfortunately, the second night we had Steve he saw me drink mine and ever since has been set on trying it, as I seemed to enjoy it. Well, the night before last in an unguarded moment he drank it out of the glass without even knocking it over !!!!! I walked in to see him smacking his lips and reeking of alcohol, luckily I only have a small amount so he suffered no ill effects and went for his evening walk as usual. He is always looking for food and never full up. Last night after they had been fed I saw him licking around Finn's mouth in the hope there were a few crumbs left there. No chance of Finn leaving anything. lol, He is still very loving especially after my alcohol (a bit like my hubby) so it is hard to be upset with him for long, he is learning all the time and now knows Oranges are not to his taste! lol

Every time I go in the bathroom Monty likes to rub up against my bath towel and grab it afterwards. I keep finding it on the floor and was thinking it was the others knocking it of the rail. He loves his family very much and we get a lot of love from him. He has just started reading ABBA books he takes it off the shelf. Must of heard about there new Album.

Cracker
I’m Homed
We are very happy to welcome Cracker into our family! Xxx We very sadly lost our beautiful Fletch earlier this year, which meant we had a big empty Greyhound shaped space that needed filling. Xxx Cracker is settling really well although Lyra was less than impressed to discover he likes playing with toys! HER toys! Even the Nylabones! Skip isn't that bothered and Fletch had his own special teddy. 🙂 Lyra and Cracker did share a blanket in the garden this afternoon, so I'm sure they will sort things out. :)) Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Thanks as always to everyone for their help today. It was a busy day and very hot. The inmates had morning walks but this afternoon was far too hot, although the lane was shady the hounds would have still had to walk on a stretch of pavement to get there. We didn't want any burnt paws. So...it was a nice stroll around the shaded area of the sand run, they didn't seem to mind! We had three new arrivals, first to touch down was Mac, a very handsome white and black boy. Such a happy little chap. Next we had pretty Holly, white and blue, very lively and a very happy girl. She arrived with the equally handsome Billy, he is very nervous at the moment, his trainer tells us that once he knows you he is fine. In fact by the time we had finished feeding you could see he was more relaxed. As it was so very warm they all had their arrival baths in the feeding runs! Thanks Dave. Thanks too for the donations of bedding. We had a viewing late afternoon, the lovely couple are coming back on Saturday, they have narrowed the choice down to two dogs at the moment and are going to weigh up the pro's and con's of which dog will be the best fit for them (if either are). They even bought a new martingale collar in anticipation!! It looks like the weather is on the turn over the next couple of days, so much more bearable for the hounds and the hoomans! Thankfully it looks as if Sunday will be dry and not too warm for everyone. Ok, I will probably put this message out over the next few days until Tiggys Greyt Get Together: PLEASE BRING YOUR PENNIES AND PLEASE BRING YOUR POUNDS BE REASSURED IT'S ALL FOR THE HOUNDS!! Take care all, hopefully see lots of you on Sunday. Xx
