Thanks to everyone for their help today. Lorna had pampers booked, some of her clients were less impressed than others. Lots of nail cutting for me...yay!! It was lovely to see so many ex-residents looking happy. I had a lovely update on Padmae (Porsche) this morning. She is being an absolute star, no trying to steal food, relaxed and clean in the house. Her family sat down to enjoy a takeaway yesterday and she went off to her bed and lay down, no begging at all. Thanks to everyone who came in with donations of bedding and treats, as always very welcome. Chunk had been cat tested over a few days, initially it looked promising that he may have been cat friendly, sadly as the testing progressed we found out he was not!! However, he has been reserved and all being well if everything goes well he has found a home with Peg, Saddle and Roy! Who can forget the spinning twins, they are still the same!!! Mikey the Younger spent thd day in his special run, he really enjoyed it and did not once try to get out. We are really looking forwards to next Sunday's open day and hope to see as many of you as possible. This is an outdoor event so plenty of outside space for all. As always stay safe and well. X

I admit I was one of those who doubted Mikey would stay in Ruth's newly constructed run! :)) but he was such a good boy and loved it! His favourite visitor Jill got in with him and they both snuggled up for a snooze in the sunshine. Xxx

It is so very sad to hear the treatment hasn't helped with Caesar's tumour, but at least thanks to everyone's generosity and Erik's unfailing support for him he had the chance to try it. Xxx He is still a very handsome, affectionate and happy lad who is loved so much. Xxx

Leo came to see us yesterday! Wow, what a different lad he is to the one who left the kennels. He has put weight on and is so relaxed and happy in himself. I didn't recognise him! He obviously adores his family and they him. The best bit was watching him go home in the back of their mini...he is so big, but loves it! Lots of love to you all. Xxx

Caesar came to Daybreaks yesterday and enjoyed a Reiki session with Tina. Tina does sessions and donations are going to support Caesar for the rest of his life. If you would like to book a reiki session for yourself or your greyhound please give us a call. I posted this on Facebook but as Erik commented, after a long discussion with the vet at North Downs Referral Center where Ceasar has been receiving treatment for his mast cell tumour on his tongue, we feel that no further intervention should take place. He has not responded well to the treatment and the only other option is to remove a large piece of his tongue. We feel this wouldn’t be fair on the little chap. He is in long term foster with Erik and Irina who will look after him whilst he has quality of life which we hope will be around 9 months. A massive thank you to everyone who donated to help fund the treatment with the hope of helping him and sincere gratitude to Erik and his family x

Padmae has settled so well, day three and she’s been clean through the night, no issues with cats, other dogs or food. Fitted in perfectly.

What a very busy day! First thing I put together a small run which had been donated and the gorgeous Mikey sat in there most of the day seeming very contented. Albeit low in height everyone thought he’d leap out but I had quiet words with him asking him to prove them all wrong! He is visibly nervous of certain men. In his kennel when closing up I sat on the edge of his bed and when Andy came to say hello to him initially he was very wary but with reassurance he started to relax. The gorgeous Archie was signed up and we bathed him and his greyhound sister Angel. Along with a visit from Caesar, Barney and greyhound sister Charlotte and family, Tina was busy doing Reiki sessions. I did lots of nail cutting and redressed the gorgeous Lady’s foot after digging out some grit yesterday. The phone was totally nuts all day! We had lots of volunteers and visitors and Kate and I left at almost 8pm absolutely shattered Great day though x

Caesar

Ok, it is now really time to get the tissues out. Caesar has been receiving Chemotherapy to try and cure the mast cell tumour under his tongue, his last visit showed insufficient response to the treatment. There have been long discussions about what to do next with all concerned. After considering Caesars current response to the treatment, sadly and with a heavy heart, it was felt that an operation to remove part of his tongue is not in Caesar’s best interest to ensure quality of life for Caesar. This means it is the end of the road in terms of his cancer treatment. We will continue to give him the love and care until he crosses the rainbow bridge. For now, we will make sure he continues to have fun. A MASSIVE thank you to all who have donated to make the treatment possible in the first place and all the support messages for him. Please keep the positive thoughts and love coming for Caesar, he will still need those.
