Finn (Phoenix)

I wrote this some time ago and thought I would share it with all Grey lovers------- A recipe for a Couch Potato Take one Greyhound Add a little patience Mix in lots of smiles and laughter Sprinkle liberally with love Place all ingredients on a soft "pillow" base And allow to settle Wondering how Fat neck Finn would feel about a brother? Had his sister the beautiful Nina for 5 years. Seems to like the girls he meets on his walks but a bit indifferent to fellas (although I love the big black lads)

Hagar was feeling much better this morning following his neutering operation yesterday. He happily tucked into his breakfast and enjoyed a lovely fuss or two! xx

Well Mr Phoenix was another resident happy to see us this morning, and another resident with a lovely clean kennel. Such an affectionate boy, he just gives off "good vibrations"!! Another cuddle coming his way. xxx

Little Miss Flower was soo happy to see us this morning when we opened up. She is bouncy and full of beans - but she responded beautifully to Michael when she started barking & jumping at him after breakfast. A "down" command accompanied by showing her the flat palm of his hand and she soon settled and actually sat down on the run floor - clever girl! She just loves to please and I think will respond to training beautifully. She gets a big cuddle today. xx

Leo was very happy to see us when we opened up this morning. He got my gold star for a nice clean kennel, and for finishing all his breakfast! This gorgeous boy has some issues with separation anxiety, he does love human company & gives the best kisses and cuddles, but he must learn that it is safe and ok to spend a little time on his own now and again - we can work on this with him and hopefully get him into the forever home he is so deserving of. He gets my cuddle today. xx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It was Hagar's turn at the Vets for his neutering operation today. He was a bit uncomfortable on his return this afternoon - sending him a cuddle and hope he feels better in the morning. It was a day of comings & goings today. Little Miss Flower bounced in through the gate this morning - a sweetheart who is full of life and beans! She is understandably a little bit stressed as she finds herself in a completely new and strange environment, but this didn't stop her enjoying her lunch and dinner - and she was very good out on the afternoon walk, discovering all the new sights & sounds in her new world. Lovely Trudie went home this afternoon, she has a gorgeous fursister to share her life with, and a lovely new name too. Wishing everyone many happy time ahead. Leo's period of fostering has finished and he came back to Daybreaks this morning. He was understandably a bit bewildered at finding himself in the kennels, but is such a fuss pot and really enjoyed his afternoon walk and his supper! I had the pleasure of walking the lovely Phoenix - ooh he is so sweet. A little keen on the lead to start with - he does like to weave a bit and check out absolutely everything around him, and got a little excited when he saw some dogs running off lead in the field, but this is only to be expected as he has only been with us for 3 days and he is only just starting to learn about life outside of racing. We are a bit thin on the ground for residents now, and hopefully will be even thinner after the weekends viewing appointments!! However, this does mean we can welcome some more hounds into Daybreaks over the coming weeks. Well the weekend is here again. Sharron Alexandra is doing her by appointment photoshoot tomorrow so keep fingers crossed for some dry weather. We have viewings booked both days, so please keep those fingers tightly crossed that our foster kids, or our remaining residents, find themselves a new home by Monday morning. I shall of course be raising a glass or two of wine later - I like to think that this helps our boys & girls find their homes - so I feel obliged to carry on doing this for their sakes, lol!!!!! Stay distanced & stay safe one and all - cheers!! Angie xxx
