After last night's horrible thunderstorm & monsoon, we arrived at the kennels a little earlier this morning to check out the leaking roof and get to the doggies in case they were stressed. Well - it must have been a localised Eeyore cloud over our house - because there was no problem with the roof, and all doggies were absolutely fine with lovely clean kennels! Gold stars all round for the boys & girls today - yay. xx xx

Dear Clare, Jim, Belle and Oscar, I'm so very sad to hear Louis has gone to Rainbow Bridge. So sweet and an absolute gentleman! I remember "borrowing" him for the Tony Knight training weekend. He was perfect in every way. Xxx God Bless your wonderful lad. Xxx. Thinking of you all and sending lots of love Kate, Skip and Lyra Xxx

A quiet day today - and fortunately the promised rain held off so the residents enjoyed both morning and afternoon walks. I must say I enjoy walking Spike. He is a real gentle giant, he walks alongside you at whatever pace you set and stands nicely to be leaded up. He & his kennel mate Topsy remind me so much of an old married couple - Spike does like to snuggle up to Topsy on the same bed (even though they have 3 in the run to choose from), most of the time she will allow him to do this, but just occasionally will have a big grumble at him to remind him whose boss - and he ends up sitting on the floor!! Having said that though, Topsy will also happily stand for ages with her chin resting across Spike's back - that's little girlie Greyhounds for you!! It was pretty Delli's birthday today, and we had a little party for her with treats for all the residents. We sang Happy Birthday to her - she wasn't impressed!!! With very few visitors we were able to get teeth cleaning and grooming done, as well as more sorting & tidying. The Daybreaks 15th Birthday Bonanza Auction is in full swing, and we have added some more great items today, so pop on over to Facebook and have a look at the new additions. The auction finishes next Thursday 1st July. Well the weekend is here again, unfortunately not much in the diary again but you never know..... I shall raise my glass of wine later to toast all the lovely boys & girls in kennels - may forever sofas be just around the corner. Stay distanced & stay safe one and all - cheers! Angie xx

There are some strange things going on! I was having my hourly rest and all of a sudden this loud noise appears. I get up to investigate and a piece of white stuff with writing on came flying out at me!!! Im staring at the weird noise machine and it’s not doing anything now! Where did that white thing come from???? Anyway yesterday I decided to be helpful by taking all my toys out of my toy bag. Then take the toy bag out into the garden and leave it there. Very helpful I think. Lubs Monty Xx

Can I say how much I agree with Kate regarding Spike Having taken him to Elmdon Park last week where his behaviour in all ways was exemplary I can honestly say there is a fantastic dog just waiting for his forever home to arrive. Hopefully that will not be far away now

Spike is a really laid back lad. He is sharing the top kitchen kennel and run with Topsy. He sits back and watches Topsy getting excited with day to day life at the kennels and snoozes on his bed. Xxx Hope he won't have to wait too much longer for his forever home. Xxx

Phoenix is getting very fed up of kennel life and would really like a home to call his own. He is a super boy. Xxx

It was another busy day at the kennels. 🙂 Poor Caesar had managed to get something in his paw so Erik brought him in for Ruth to have a look at. Barney came too and was most concerned about his friend. Xxx Erik calls them his 2 good naughty boys! :)) There were also several visitors with corns! It was great to see fabulous ex-Daybreaks resident Jonty. :)) He is now eleven years old. He was very "vocal" during his stay all those years ago! :)) I understand from his owner he still is!! Xxx We also had a couple of viewings which were very positive. Xxx It was a cooler day so we were able to take the dogs for morning and afternoon walks. I had the pleasure of taking Topsy and Millie for a walk together. They were very good, even when we saw a squirrel! Many thanks to Alan and Declan for going to the warehouse for us. I know they got stuck on the M6! Good thing Alan had brought chocolate donuts to cheer him and Declan up on their return. :)) Thank you to all those who popped in with donations of food and bedding. Xxx All of the current residents are beautiful, loving and gorgeous....please contact us if you would like to meet any of them. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for your help today. So nice to see Shirley and Richard.
