Barney
I’m Homed
It has been a little while, it is unfortunate that this lovely boy did not have any viewings during his 2 day stay at the kennel last weekend. This boy has made such strides, from being a very nervous dog in the kennels to now a very relaxed and quite dog. I understand he has not made a sound during his stay. He is house trained, knows what he can and cannot do. Of course he is a dog and will take opportunities when they are presented to him, any good scavenger would do that. He loves being outside and relaxing in the grass, he enjoys his walks and with the heat he is getting less then he wants, so he moves my walking boots. He is an easy walker always has a smiling lead. He is great with our 4 year old daughter who has and is being taught how to be around dogs. He is first to go to bed in the evening generally sleeps through the night. He travels well in the car, simply lies down until you reach your destination. So he is doing really well. He loves to play with fluffy squeaky toys and generally makes us smile No dog is perfect of course, he is a bit more stubborn then most of the greyhounds we have had, in essence he is a true Greyhound. It is taking longer with him to get him relaxed and accepting other dog breeds. It is not aggression he is simply unsure, but he can lunge at dogs so I am working with the thunder shirt now hoping we can turn it around. There are lots of techniques that can be utilised so we keep going with him on this. When I picked him up on Saturday, it made me have mixed emotions. When Barney saw me he got excited and rather vocal. One the one hand it is nice to have him react to me like that. On the other hand it also shows he is getting more and more attached to us as a family. This is a little bit sad as it may take him longer to settle once he does get his forever home. Please give this boy a chance arrange a visit by calling 0121 782 7702

Jack
I’m Homed
I took Jack home with me on Tuesday as we were a little worried about him. He seemed so sad and had also had an upset tum and slight temperature for a few days. I took extra cleaning products ‘just in case’.... however this lad has been as superstar! Not one episode of upset tum, he is loving his walks across the fields, eating well and even playing with toys! We think he was suffering from ‘I’m very sad in my kennel’ after sadly being returned recently- bless him. His coat was coming out in handfuls when Lucy groomed him Tuesday and already he looks like a different dog. He has been left several hours at a time and his new owner is going to have a wonderful addition to his family. I threatened to swap Tony for him as he is perfect on the lead whereas Tony thinks I’m a maypole!

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It started today with Denise opening up the kennels, she was greeted with an explosion in New boy Spikes kennel. Bless him, I think he was unsettled and sadly had a very messy kennel and also managed to lie in what he had done. So, he had his second bath in two days, thankfully for him it was only from the waist down! He seemed snore settled this afternoon? Thanks to Wednesday walkers the dogs managed morning walks along the lane. This afternoon was too hot to take them out, so the paddling pools were filled, they had a lovely cool down (not sure Spike appreciated another water related activity)! The others all seemed to enjoy the experience and came out a few times to cool down. Thanks to Denise, Dave, Chris and the Wednesday walkers for their help today and to Alan who did the warehouse run and took Dave. Just a reminder, (and I know that most of you will know) that when it is hot your hounds will need to go out earlier or much later in the evening, they can easily burn their pads and also suffer with dehydration, keep them cool. X As always, stay safe and well all. X

Spike arrived at Daybreaks today. He is a stunning lad! His trainer told us he loves his walks, his food and is a bouncy happy boy. He was a little unsure of his new surroundings this afternoon and was very quiet. I'm sure he will find his bounce when he has settled in. Xxx

Yesterday we lost Archive- although he wasn’t a Daybreaks hound, He lead us to Daybreaks’s where we adopted both Breeze and Jato. He loved the Stratford walks. He always wanted to be up front. He had a spinal stroke four years ago, which damaged his back leg we had his leg amputated twelve months after his stroke. He turned thirteen in May - just before we found a lump under his jaw, because of the placement, his age and his blood issues it was decided not to look at it - but to care for him and wait. Over the weekend he lost a lot of weight - so our vet came out yesterday he lay on his favourite memory foam bed in the sun watching the birds with his head in my lap. Xxx
