Willow (Twirl)
I’m Homed
Update on Twirl... Had a settled night with no accidents ???? Her character is showing through, have to say at times she is a fruitloop...decided she wanted to play with the vacuum, had no problem with her teeth being cleaned, snores and spends more on her back roaching than anything else lol. She saw two different breeds of dog showing an interest but no aggression at all..in the house she does very excited at times, nothing seems to faze her. She is a food monster looking for every opportunity to steel lol.....but a firm no she does give up and lies down.

We had the pleasure of the company of this fabulous boy yesterday and overnight. He is indeed a star - house trained, walks beautifully on his lead, affectionate and caring, and with a fun side that loves a blast of energy & play! So sad his reservation has fallen through, but he is so ready for a loving forever home again soon. Fingers crossed for you sweetheart. xx

We have Twirl with us at home, within an hour and half she has settled really well, even had a roach. She met our big boy Alfie, so far a couple grumbles from him. But as a whole it's going well. She is a very calm sweet and happy little girl who loves a fuss.

Daybreaks Diary!

Well, it couldn't make up its mind if it wanted to be a warm, sunny day today or not - in the end it decided not, meaning the boys & girls could have morning and afternoon walks - and the banana & blueberry frozen smoothies I had made stayed in the freezer!! If the forecast is to be believed they will be needed over the weekend! The salmon & green bean fishcakes I made for breakfast went down a treat - except for little Twirl who didn't eat very much as she is still a bit bewildered with her new situation bless her. She is a friendly soul, who stands beautifully to be leaded up and walks nicely - hoping she soon settles in. x Spike & Topsy are very settled together in the kitchen kennel and run, they came running up to the bars to greet me when I opened up this morning with tails happily wagging - so lovely to see. Topsy was not vocal at all during the day - except to give Spike little warning growl when he tried to join her on her bed!! Suitably chastened, he went back to his own bed, lay on his back with his legs in the air and let the breeze blow round!! He is a lovely big lad who walks beautifully on his lead, and enjoys the company of a friend. Poor Phoenix was not a happy soul in his cone - bless him he found it so hard to manoeuvre through doors! As he couldn't go out on walks, he spent the day in the outside feeding run watching the world go by. It was a very quiet day, so a great chance to catch up with some teeth cleaning, grooming and tidying. Well another weekend is here - and we have some viewings booked so keep fingers crossed. I shall raise my glass of wine this evening to toast our lovely boys & girls - may forever sofas come there way soon. xx Whatever you're up to this weekend stay safe, stay distanced - and keep yourselves and your hounds cool. Cheers! Angie xx

We had another new arrival today. Gorgeous little Twirly! So very cute. Xxx Phoenix has managed to get something in a front paw. Ruth tried to remove it but couldn't quite reach it. He is now wearing a nice pink bandage while we see if the drawing cream will help get it out. Poor Phoenix wouldn't leave the dressing alone so is now having to wear a cone... :(( Xxx Topsy gave Yvonne a scare this moring while she was cleaning the kennels. Topsy managed to get her nose stuck in between the bars of her kennel and was screaming so loud Ruth heard her from the sand run! We all came running in but we'll done to Yvonne for freeingTopsy's poor little nose! No harm done. Xxx As both Topsy and Spike are finding kennel life rather difficult at the moment we paired them up together and they are sharing the top kitchen run and kennel. They both seem much happier. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. Xxx

Barney
I’m Homed
Lovely to hear how Barney has progressed and I totally agree with Erik that he needs his forever home. Barney was with us for 3 weeks before going to Erik and he was the same with us, being so excited to see us. But he went off happily with Erik when he took over Barney’s fostering (which I found more difficult than he did!) and I think he may be the sort of dog who is happy wherever there is someone to love him. Please please someone take this lovely boy home xx
