I took Mikey to Elmdon Park today. Before we could leave though, he had to make sure that I was thoroughly clean by licking each bit of skin he could get to! He was in one of the runs with Lady and someone had to come on to hold Lady, as she too just wanted lots of fuss and it was making it impossible to lead Mikey up. Once we set off, he maintained a good pace and enjoyed having a good look around. He met larger dogs (Golden retriever and Collie) with no issues, but he was a little less sure of smaller ones. He met a few smaller dogs, but did lunge at them when they moved away. I am hoping that it was more curiosity than anything else, as when one of these dogs (Chihuahua sized) tried to sniff his bum, he stood stock still with neck craned around looking at it. I'm not entirely sure he knew what to do!! He just needs a few more trips to the park to understand his new life a bit better. Whoever this boy picks will be very lucky x

So nice to hear how Finn and Steve are getting on, finding out whose in charge of what and just generally adapting to one another, I always find it very interesting when a new inmate arrives, the fussy eater suddenly develops an appetite, they suddenly want a particular bed that they never used to bother about, they are so funny, but that's why we love our hounds so much. Keep up he good work Steve, looking forward to seeing your sign turn Green xxxxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Firstly, apologies for the late posting of the Daybreaks Diary for yesterday. I got home and my tablet was flat,once it had enough charge I was flat!! A massive thanks to everyone who came in to help yesterday. After cleaning, feeding and morning walks, sleeves were rolled up and many of the tasks we cannot normally get done were tackled. Windows cleaned, courtyard swept, hosed and scrubbed, the white exterior cladding walls of the kennel blocks were brushed down, bleached and scrubbed. Huge thanks to Steve and Sarah who came in to re-concrete the chicken house floor and also managed to patch up parts of the kennels outside area that were in desperate need of attention. Thank you both so very much. There were a few booking for the sand run in the morning. As there were no bookings for the afternoon the kennel dogs that could have a run had a blast running around and enjoying themselves. Highlight of the day was the homing of beautiful Roxie, she was currently out longest stayer. She was very excited to be going home as was her new owner! I have spoken with her owner this morning and she has had a very settled night, been on a walk and met some new people and has been a good girl, wishing them happy times ahead. We are really looking forwards to being able to host our first open day since Covid struck, Tiggy's Greyt Get Together is being held in the sand run on Sunday 12 September between 10am - 2pm. Please come along if you can, light refreshments and doggie activities will be going on. As always, stay safe and well everyone. X

Well, it's a week today since Warrior "Steve" came home with us to see if he and Fat neck Finn could have a Bromance as all the ladies rejected him. Ahhhhh, Since we lost our lovely girl Nina who definitely wore the pants (as they say) Finn had been doing his own thing more and we did have the worry that he might have quite liked his new life as "Billy no Mates" lol and was getting to grips with being his own man. He was a bit wary of Steve for the first day or two if he came too close, and at feeding time, and definitely when Steve tried to get into bed with him especially as Steve has not had "the op" yet. It seems now that Finn still indifferent to a "friend" has taken on the role of "old boy, let the "young un" do his thing and settle in. I get my walks, my food and still lots of love, and I get in my own bed when I want to, but now pinch Steve's as well when I want a snooze. Steve will go over to him for the occasional nose touch but is still wandering around on his own exploring and looking for more food. He has learned the meaning of "wait" and "no" and stands watching me at the kitchen door while I get their food prepared, and Finn lays down behind him, just as he did with Nina, so hoping things will only get better. Not sure its been good for Finn's diet as he is very keen on not missing out on any treats now. Steve seems to be finding his place as well, just like my hubby did when we first moved in together !!! so after first week it's looking good.x
