So very sorry to read this news, it’s just the hardest thing when we have to say our final goodbyes. Thinking of all the family, hound and human. Run free Max, young and carefree once more, with all our old friends xxxx

Max (Ooaar Les Says) 1st May 2009 - 21st May 2021 My Sister Pam had to say Goodbye to her beloved Max today. We are very grateful to the vet for arranging it so we could both be with him when he slipped peacefully away in my car. Xxx Very sadly old age caught up with him and he is now at Rainbow Bridge playing in the sun with members of our Greyhound family who have gone before, Stan, Twiggy, Mannie and Bobby. Xxx Max was a super lad who was very much loved and adored. He loved his walks, his holidays to Woolacombe with his Greyhound mates. He made us laugh when he used to tell my Fletch and Lyra off when their playing annoyed him! :)) Max had his bed positioned right next to the sofa so he could receive fuss on demand. :)) I know Pam, Terry and the whole of our family will miss him terribly. I hope all the happy memories they have of his life with them will be a comfort at this sad time. God Bless you handsome Max. Always in our hearts. Xxx

One word describes today - ABSOLUTELYCRAZY!!! It started quietly, and the residents had a nice morning walk in some light drizzle. I walked new boy Joe, what a lovely boy he is. He stood so calmly waiting to be leaded up and walked nicely by my side, and only just raised his head at the squiggle that dared show itself down the lane!! Alley couldn't join us following his neutering op yesterday, but I don't think he was too sad about not getting wet! He was bright & happy this morning when I opened up - sadly poor Bruiser was not a happy boy and was very stressed. Once out of the kennel and in company though he was like a different dog. This morning also saw the arrival of another new handsome black boy Chase, and the sad return of Leo from his trial. The kennels were full to bursting - especially as we have a kennel out of action due to a leaking roof - so Ruth put out an appeal for emergency foster homes. This was when things went up 2 or 3 gears and a whirlwind ensued!!! The stunning Vulcan found himself his forever home, Leo went straight back out to a new foster home, Chase (who fortunately hadn't unpacked his case) also went out on foster. Then it was Bruiser's turn to go out on foster, so happy that he wont have to spend another night in a kennel bless him. Massive thanks to everyone who responded - we are so grateful, as are the doggies who are now in a home environment for a while. I did a health check for my boy Phoenix, he is a model subject and just stands so patiently whilst being checked over and groomed. He does love a snuggle too, and looks right into your eyes - a stunner. x Amid all the activity and the torrential rain that had set in by lunchtime, there were no afternoon walks for the residents - just cuddles and a wee break! It was a busy, busy day and it is definitely almost time for wine!! The weekend is here again, and let's hope that some more of our residents find themselves their forever homes. My glass is raised to everyone who worked so hard today - a great team. x Stay safe & well all, and try to stay dry!! Cheers! Angie xx

So sad things didn't work out for you my lovely - but at least you weren't back with us for very long and have found another foster home. xx

Vulcan didn’t react to our cats or the small dogs visiting Daybreaks. He is so big at 41kg but a total gentle giant.

A big cuddle to Alley tonight, he had his neutering op today. He had to stay later than normal with the vets because when he came found from the anaesthetic he was very stressed and needed sedating to calm him down. Poor lad. He was ok when I picked him up tonight and enjoyed his dinner. Hoping he will feel better tomorrow. Xxx

Yvonne had her work cut out for her today when we saw Vulcans kennel on our arrival. He had a little accident during the night and had managed to walk in it and then jump back on his bed! As usual she did a marvellous job and it was soon sparkly clean again. :)) Poor Bruiser had been rather stressed during the night and had managed to pull some of the plastic covering from the ceiling of his kennel. 🙁 It must be so scary for some of the dogs coming to a new kennels, not knowing anyone or understanding what's happening to them. Hopefully he will soon feel more settled. Xxx Another new arrival today, little Topsy! She is a very happy girl. After Lucy and I bathed her she ran madly around the treatment room and loved being wrapped in the towels! :)) We had a visit from Klaire, Florence, Sam and Russ. Due to the lock down they haven't been able to meet up for such a long time. It was obvious how happy Florence and Russ were to see each other and they had a lovely time in the sand run. 🙂 Xxx We also saw another old friend Lorraine with Norah. (with an H) Al and Sonny. Fingers crossed everything will go according to plan and by the end of June we will be able to see more of our Daybreaks Friends. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for your help today. Xxx

When Topsy arrived this morning she had the rather unglamorous name of Double....with her Trainers consent Klaire who was visiting the kennels with Florence, Russ and Sam renamed her Topsy! :)) We all thought it suited her happy personality! So a very warm welcome to little Topsy. :)) Xxx

I met lovely Vulcan today and took him for a walk. The phrase "gentle giant" is perhaps sometimes over used but it fits this lad to a tee. He is a big dog but you'd hardly know it. He stands patiently while you put his lead on and get him ready. He walks easily, no pulling given he is a strong lad. We only went locally but he greeted the big wide world in a laid back easy going fashion, he was a pleasure to take out. Had the weather been better and more time available it would have been nice to visit Brueton park with him(Norman take note!)I think he'd enjoy meeting other dogs. When we got back a little wet thanks to the rain, Vulcan just leaned into me in true greyhound style while we dried off and then settled on his bed. This boy is fab, lovely brindle colour and a delightful calm friendly attitude. I wouldn't be surprised if he was cat friendly when he gets tested. For Vulcan to still be here next week would be totally illogical, if I had space he'd be mine xx
