Daybreaks Diary!

Well, Monday is not my usual working day. Not too much in the diary....just more nails!!! Thanks so much to Yvonne, Dave, Tia, Gloria and Gill for all their help today and to Jess and her mom for taking Alley to the park, he has a possible viewing tomorrow, fingers crossed. There will be a further update on today's events, that will hopefully be posted tomorrow. Hoping Kate's Fletch is feeling better soon, not quite the 'day off' she was looking forward to. As always stay safe and well everyone. X

Alley joined myself and my mum out for a walk in Elmdon park. He is a very sweet boy, walks well on the lead. He didn’t jump in or out of my boot however doesn’t mind being lifted in and stands well whilst driving. Once at the park we passed a few people, then a person on a bike passed and it became clear that this poor lad is afraid of them! We made sure to give a wide birth the rest of the walk of any bikes and he seemed to prefer that. We met a few other breeds of dogs, a playful whippet in which he seemed a little unsure of when she was running around him - with time I’m sure he will be fine! He needs a few more trips in the big wide world to understand that there is nothing to be too worried about and there is more to life than a kennel block! Xx

Nice to meet Lady and Ringo out walking around Monkspath in Solihull this evening while out with Enzo. They looked very happy and perky.

A beautiful day today, our residents all had morning and afternoon walks in the sunshine. Thanks to Denise, Dave, Alison and Tia for all there help today. It was strangely quiet for visitors, I suppose people are making the most of being able to get away. In saying that we managed to stay fairly busy. Sadly no viewings, sadly lots of nail cuttings!!! I am covering for Kate tomorrow so she can have a bank holiday Monday off, I hope she has a lovely day. X Tomorrow's diary....more nail cutting!! As always stay safe and well all. X

What a lovely boy and his face say's it all." I am looking for someone to take me home and love me" Reading the news from yesterday and the fact there had been no viewings but the hounds had all had good walks and all the usual excellent care, it made me think of all the people who give their time and love even on bank holidays. As a nurse of 43 yrs with the NHS I, like these gentlemen and ladies worked when I was needed, weekends and bank holidays were just another day if your colleagues were struggling on the wards. Why did I do it for all those years? because I loved my chosen profession and people. I believe that is what drives you all at Daybreaks, your love for these beautiful Grey's. You are special people, come rain or shine you are there for them and can I say to you all, thank you for caring and Fat Face Finn agrees xx

Well Penny has settled really well, clean in the house, quiet at night and good with dogs she has met on her walks, those are the ‘good’ points. Taking a flying leap onto my bed first thing in the morning to remind me it’s walk time, stealing the treat tub at every opportunity and attempting a break in, going into kangaroo mode ever time we see a squirrel and there are lots of them, exploding several cushions, opening the mail, being a counter surfer supremo, attempting to literally pull the blanket off Joes bed whilst he is lay on it and doing all of this with an angelic little face that looks like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. I suppose you could say it’s going well????

Barney

Barney is learning a lot at his foster family, having fun and enjoying live. I would say that as I am writing it :-)) We enjoy having him around, but he really needs his forever home where he can spend his time being part of his own family. Barney is going to stay at the Kennels from Friday 4/6 to Saturday 5/6, if you can give him a suitable home come and see him. Please call 0121 782 7702 to arrange visit.

After a very cloudy start, the sun came out this afternoon and it was a proper Spring day! Thanks so much to Diane, Patrick and Gloria, Jan and Gill for taking the dogs on nice long walks throughout the day. Xxx Hagar went off to his new home. He also has a new name...Miles 🙂 The children chose it for him. I understand it the name of the new Spider Man. :)) He went home with a complete new wardrobe. He looked so very handsome in his blue raincoat and fleece. :)) wishing him lots of happy times with his family. Xxx Thanks so much to the people who brought in donations of bedding and to Julie and Adrian for collecting donations for us from Pets At Home. Xxx Alan and Christine popped in with more duck eggs for us sell for a donation. All proceeds go to helping look after our Daybreaks residents. :)) Thank you both very much. Xxx We had a visit from Cora and her Dad. Her leg is doing well and hopefully will be good enough to have an operation to remove the metal plate sometime next month. She is such a very happy little girl, loves everyone! She tried to clean Topsy's ears for her but Topsy wasn't very impressed! Xxx Sadly no viewings today. Things have slowed down considerably the last couple of weeks. Hoping when people are back to their normal routines we will have more interest in our beautiful Greyhounds. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for your help today. Thank you Gloria sand Jan for feeding the boys and girls. :)) Very much appreciated! Xxx
