Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
A relatively quiet day for visitors today. Many thanks to everyone who came in to help with the dogs, those that could had morning and afternoon walks. Mikey the Older was very bright after his neutering and dental yesterday, despite being 20 teeth lighter he still enjoyed his breakfast and dinner today. Two of our Wednesday walkers had the audacity to go on holiday, they didn't even ask permission, what a cheek, their card is marked and they have been noted as absent, they will be dealt with upon their return!! We had two lovely new arrivals, Paddy, a lovely young black dog and Tiff a slightly older brindle girl. Thanks to our lovely college work experience student Annie for helping with health checking, bathing and learning how we add the dogs to the website. She also walked her namesake who is due to go home tomorrow. We have two new arrivals due over the next couple of days, both boys. It was great to see Lynne and Simon with their doggie family, I think Skip, Sam and Naddie needed to expel some much needed energy in the sand run, hopefully it worked!! It's with great sadness I have to post that Mike Stewart Lawrence who's band were doing a fundraiser for the kennels and was a regular sand run user on a Wednesday and Sunday missed his appointment last Wednesday. I was about to call him to make sure everything was ok. Before I could I had a call from his dear friend and backing singer asking if we had seen him. Very sadly, when access to him home was gained , it was found that he had very sadly passed away. He was in his favourite chair and looked so very peaceful. Such a gent and a wonderful character. He will be sadly missed. It's ironic that his fundraiser should have been on 11th September and was postponed. Thinking of his family, friends and his dog Jodie. Sorry to end on such a sad note, makes it all the more important to stay safe and look after each other. X

I took Mikey off to the vets first thing this morning for his neutering and dental. His operation took some time as he had to have quite a few teeth removed. He wasn't ready to come back until 5pm. I got stuck in traffic going to collect him and we didn't get back to the kennels until after 6pm....poor Mikey was very hungry! He really enjoyed his dinner! Hoping he will feel better tomorrow. We had visits from some old friends who we haven't seen for a while, Margaret who lost her lovely Stefie a few months ago, popped in and instantly fell in love with Billy 🙂 Thanks so much for taking him for a walk. Xx We also saw Coco and his family. He had come to use the sand run and his Mum bought him some new cuddly toys to take home. He looked absolutely gorgeous and is settling very well in his new home. :)) It was good to see Matthew one of our long time volunteers in today. :)) Great to see Helen, Andy and gorgeous Chunky Charlie. :)) Now officially a member of their family. :)) Xxx Declan and James gave the van a really good clean inside and out! Thanks so much! :))) Yvonne was in bright and early cleaning and collecting the poo up! 🙂 Richard and Shirley were in too, but had to leave early as accident prone Murphy has and hurt his eye and had an appointment with the vet. Poor lad. Xx Two new arrivals due to tomorrow followed by one on Thursday and one more on Friday. Xxx

Billy met a new friend today. Margaret who lost he beloved Stefie a few months ago came to visit us. She sat with Billy in his kennel for quite a some time and took him for his afternoon walk. It was good for both of them. Xxx

Lots of gentle hugs for Mikey tonight. He was neutered today and also had to have quite a lot of teeth removed. He was a very good boy at the vets and met a Dachshund puppy outside, he only looked at her trying to decide what she was and he was quite surprised when she barked at him! 🙂 Xxx

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
