The forecast rain held off, so all dogs had morning and afternoon walks. Thanks to Denise and Dave for all their help today. We started the day with the homing of Spike, now Basil, wishing him and his family all the best. We had two viewings booked, the first family looked at Charlie and Annie. They could not decide between the two, so very sensibly have gone to have a long hard think to see which if either is the right fit for them. The second viewing was to come and see Topsy, well it was love at first sight, they took her on the afternoon walk and immediately reserved her. I know there will be a lot of very happy people when they see this news! She is a sweetheart. We had sand run bookings today, thankfully the temperatures were no way near as hot as they had been. So, in closing, stay safe and well all. X

Kylie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
So very sorry to hear this sad news. My word, what an amazing age and what an amazing life she had with you, we all know how very much loved she was. Reunited at rainbow bridge, now the famous five can all run fast and free together again. I think we all had everything crossed and willed her on to make her 16th birthday, and she did just that. Another Angel has gained her wings, shine bright beautiful Kylie. Much love to your family. Jo xx

Its so sad to hear that dear Kylie has gone to rainbow bridge. What a wonderful life she had with you, you must have so many memories and lots of photos to remember your little angel. She must have chosen you to live with and have such a long life knowing she would be very happy and safe. When a hound chooses me I don't care about the age for as Kylie proved there can be many happy times with an older dog. Another bright star shines in the heavens tonight xx

Had a fantastic time in the sand run today. Purdy and Zeus brought an old staffy friend who had a great time. Also met Totsi he is lovely and I obviously went in for a cuddle with my favourite Topsy. Oh I do hope she finds a forever home soon she is such a darling ????

Kylie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
The reign of this little lady, our Queen Kylie aka Bubble, Boo Bear, Boo Boo, Kyles, Little Donkey and many others, came to an end yesterday, Saturday 24 July 2021. Her back legs were getting very weak and she didn't seem right so we took her to the vets to be checked, and especially after a potential tumour was found under her jaw, and a 4kg weight loss since May last year, we decided it was time to set her free. She made an amazing age and was a wonderful, and forceful, addition to our other greyhounds, Lucy and Ben. She walked beautifully with Lucy and easily matched her step, until around a year ago, although Lucy was 2 years younger than her. She had Ben wrapped round her paws too and, albeit that he was a bit of a softie anyway, she could throw him off the sofa to let her on, just by staring at him from across the room and he was almost 10kg bigger than her. She shared several holidays with us all in The Lakes, travelling up to Scotland twice, and Tenbury Wells and had days out to see Andy's parents in Llandudno. And, living by a canal, she had access to many lovely walks from home too. She was a loving little girl and liked human attention and she was often a little ray of sunshine. Her tail hardly stopped wagging prior to the last few months. We initially took her as a foster, but she decided she was staying and we thought if we were lucky, we might have her for three, maybe four, years. She was with us just under 6 3/4 years in the end, and other than her nail issue, and getting bitten by a Staffie 3 years ago, she didn't have any problems. Don't overlook taking on an older dog. They have so much to give, as Kylie proved time and again. Saying that, she did give so much that I think I'll need a younger dog next time to live up to her! Thanks Ruth and Daybreaks for providing a haven for Kylie - and the other four Famous Five to land - and for letting Kylie join us. There will never be another quite like Kylie, I'm sure ??

It was a lot cooler today. :)) It was a quiet day for visitors and the sand run was quiet too. Thanks so much to Angie and Michael for coming in first thing to clean kennels and feed the dogs. :)) It was just Patric and myself this morning. We managed to get one walk done before he had to go home. I took the other four residents for a stroll around the sand run. Which they enjoyed. Many thanks to Patric for his help, all the dogs got a groom and teeth cleaned. 🙂 It was lovely to see Athos for a nail trim this morning. He was not very keen to have them done! 🙂 xx Many thanks to Gill who came in this afternoon. All the residents got a second walk. A lovely couple who had brought in some beddding were more than happy to go for a walk! 🙂 Gorgeous Jag came in for nail clipping too. It was lovely to hear how well he is doing. We had a surprise viist from Casey. Jeremy brought him for his nails to be trimmed too. We found the best position for Casey to have his nails to be done was high in the air! Xx Topsy was outside in the kitchen run for most of the day. She really didn't want to go back into her kennel and took a lot of persuading and special treats for her to move. She is a very sweet girl. Do hope she will soon find her forever home. There is a viewing booked for tomorrow....hoping one of our lovely boys and girls might find themselves a home. Xxx

My post about yesterday seems to have disappeared - is it someone's way of telling me I say too much!!!! Must confess I can't remember everything I said but in summary Friday at Daybreaks was:- Quiet and nice to be cooler,for the doggies & us. Fun to watch the residents tackle their frozen sardine treats in their own individual ways. Able to get some cleaning done as being cooler meant we had more energy AND Lovely to meet our newbies. I enjoyed my glass of wine too! Stay safe one & all. Angie x
