I had the pleasure of taking Bob for a walk this morning. He walks very calmly on his lead and enjoys the company of the other dogs. A super lad! Xxx

Wendi is doing really well, Lucy took her for her first walk since her arrival this morning. She walked beautifully next to Bob. She was relaxed and enjoyed herself. Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
We had a new game for the girls and boys to try out today. It's called Push-n-pop treat dispenser. The idea is the dogs push it along and treats pop out! Well, Tiny absolutely loved it! She is a very clever girl and was soon happily pushing it around. Monty was great with it too. :)) Charlie was a little unsure of how hard to push it and Bob got bored quite quickly. :)) We give our residents enrichment every day. We have licki mats, snuffle mats, kongs, bone spinners and many other games for them to play with. It helps to stimulate their minds and give them something to look forward to. :)) A simple game to play at home is the "box game" Just collect all your empty boxes...egg boxes, serial boxes, tissue boxes, anything that you can put a few treats in. Then spread them around the garden or the lounge. Lyra and Cracker get so excited, running round looking for the treats. They also love ripping up the boxes! :)) Its lovely to see them having so much fun. Xxx Many thanks to Clare (Insight Hounds) for introducing me to the world of enrichment! Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Such an incredibly warm day today but we filled up the paddling pools for our residents and were tempted to paddle too! Tiny had a viewing.... they have gone away to think about it and we had lots of visitors for the sand run and many corns, nails and well care appointments. All the residents enjoyed two walks, grooming, their enrichment games and the fans are on to keep them cool in the heat. I am very grateful to all our volunteers who have helped..... by giving up your time you have made a difference to the lives of the greyhounds currently at Daybreaks.... xxx I am stopping off on my way home to look at a poorly foot and tomorrow I am off to see Phoebe, check her corns and complete her adoption paperwork 🙂

Bob is a quiet well behaved lad who today paid a visit to Elmdon Park. He travelled well in the car. On meeting other breeds he showed no aggression whatsoever. In fact he seemed more wary of them than they were of him !!! Hopefully the loving permanent home this gentle boy deserves will arrive as quickly as possible

Buck (Buick)
I’m Homed
Hi Lisa, Greyt to see Buck and Claire meet. I met Claire when she first arrived. Such a lovely girl. Hope Buck is feeling a bit better, by the sounds of it he had bit too much fun in the sand run and caught his toe! Bless him. Volunteers are the wonders of the charity. I have volunteered for nearly 3 years and it has been one of the best things I have ever done. If you do ever want to help out on Saturdays when your free on Roadshows let me know - drop me an email (thacker2519@hotmail.co.uk) this is my personal one as I am having few issues with my Daybreaks one at the minute. Roadshows mostly happen on Saturdays and I welcome anyone that can help out with any amount of time. I can ten add you to my mailing list when new events come up.

Buck (Buick)
I’m Homed
Buck made a visit to the Kennels today to meet his sister (Claire)….I so wanted to bring her straight home with us and Buck was very well behaved which was good. He is still a little bit reactive and can grumble at other dogs but he seemed quite taken with Claire. He apologise’s for the drama of painting the run red (and thank you to Kate for looking at his paw as I think I went into a bit of startle mode). One bent claw that looks to not be troubling him at the moment and no clue how it happened but he has a Vet check up/vaccination already booked in this week so we will get it looked at. I also really loved to be back at the Kennels, I miss my Saturdays volunteering but life just seems to be going at such a quick pace I can’t fit everything in. You are all amazing for what you do for the Greyhounds and I’m so glad I’ve been a small part in rehoming three over the years (I just wish I could make that four after today)

I am so glad I got to visit Claire with Buck today. She’s a proper cutie and if I could have I would have bundled her up and took her straight away although there are some things for us to consider and the fact that Buck can be a little reactive is one of them. He’s currently stretched out by the settee and I’m trying to convince everyone I know they need a greyhound called Claire :-).
