Daybreaks Diary!

I have awarded all our lovely residents a Gold Star today for having lovely clean kennels! When Michael & I opened up this morning, we were greeted by some very happy doggies and some very clean kennels. We love our Saturday mornings - we open up early not only to get a head start on the day as Saturdays are always busy, but also to allow Michael to spend some time with the doggies before it's time to open to the public. Whilst things are getting easier, and we have had both our vaccinations, he still has to be careful about mixing, so our "private" mornings are ideal!! Daybreaks currently has a kennel full of absolute beauties - all so deserving of their forever homes. Let's hope that we see some more red signs outside those kennels soon. Have a great weekend one and all, enjoy the weather but stay safe too - and keep those hounds cool! Angie x

Well....I think Good Boy Flloyd has forgiven me for missing his birthday. We made up for it with mashed potato, cod in butter sauce all mixed in with their dinner. Coopers first experience of special dinner and he didn't complain!!! I will post a Cooper update in the next few days. Take care everyone. Xxx

The promised sunshine and warm temperature took a long time to arrive today - which meant the residents could enjoy morning & afternoon walks down the shady lane. It was a very busy day indeed - Ruth spent most of the day on her knees attending to a variety of corns, problem nails & teeth! The sand run was popular again, Lorna had pampers and we had some very kind donations of bedding to sort and find space for! There was much coming & going through the kennels today!! Firstly Barney came to spend a couple of days with us - he is such a lovely, friendly boy who would very much like to find his forever family soon. His foster Dad says he is doing so very well, but just needs the stability of a permanent home to relax in and continue his training. Then Chase, who came back from his foster home during the week, found himself out on foster again. He has a poorly paw, and really needs to be in a different environment from a kennel to be able to benefit from the treatment. Big thanks to his foster Mum. Finally Alley left the building! He has started his new life with a new name - Dexter, wishing everyone many happy times ahead. Well, the weekend is here again. Unfortunately there are no viewings booked, but I will raise my glass of chilled white wine in the hope that things change & another of our beautiful doggies find themselves with a red sign by Monday. Stay distanced & stay safe one and all - cheers! Angie xx

Casey
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Aah poor Casey. Totally agree with you though. Our Cilla had most of her teeth removed a few months ago & the change in her has been massive. Much better eating & all round happier. It's such a shame that they feel so awful without us knowing. Thankfully we haven't had to endure your other problem!

Casey
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Casey had 7 teeth removed a few weeks ago and hasn’t stopped eating since. His appetite has been hit or miss since he’s been squatting here for the last 4 years (he only came to stay for 2 nights remember). I can’t help but think that he may have had trouble with his teeth for all that time. Nothing was obvious, and he had regular checkups but the turnaround in his appetite is amazing. It’s great to see him enjoying his food but he does tend to contaminate the air supply from time to time.

Very sad and shocking news Kate. We are all sad for the loss of Fletch. The hounds who ‘did porridge’ all deserved the best family lives after doing their bit and Fletch certainly had that.

Well......with the terrible sadness of this week (and I thought his birthday was 4th June) I forgot Good Boy Flloyds birthday yesterday. He said its fine, we need to remember the dogs that have crossed Rainbow bridge recently and their families. He said we will have birthday special dinners tomorrow and we will light candles again for handsome Fletch and little girl Flash. They will always be remembered.

Kate, I can’t believe it. My heart is breaking for you and John, Skip and Lyra. Fletch was so so lucky to have had you as his mom. Nothing I can say or do will take away your pain but know you are on my thoughts and prayers. Klaire and Florence. Xxx

Flower has now been with us for a week. She is still very settled and has not chewed any of her bedding. We have also been able to leave her for 1 1/2 hours. The only thing she has chewed is egg cartons and cereal boxes destined for re cycling. She is so friendly and loving she just needs her forever home.
