Josh
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi, can you care for Josh? Me???..Oh gosh. Let me read his story...I'll do my best. ...Thank you.. ...he just needs to rest. 2 weeks later I'm totally involved. Your smile, your temperament; goodness me, you're good as gold! You're so happy, bouncy and love to play, You're a gentle boy, i'm so happy for you to stay. Your history is there, I need to be aware, I'll take it all forward... and I'll take good care. You're scared, you dont know me, And I dont know you. Yet, we trust each other, I know we will get through. Something happened I just cant describe, We connected so well, created our new tribe! Months pass by, our baby is soon due, we felt we maybe now could not safely care for you?... You're back at the kennels now... cloaked with treats and love. However kennel life for you, just always felt so tough. I took you to see Santa, We hoped he'd know the answer ...He did. He knew, ...I ....just couldnt be without you. You're back in our lives, accepting our new baby too. You take it all in your stride Joshy ...We've got you back, phew!! ... I never expected your health to suddenly fail. We love you so much Joshy, you sadly were just, so frail. Joshy. forever I will hold you in my heart. Our family's too; ...you were there for it's start. Rest easy now my beautiful boy, dream of zoomies and catching your reindeer toy. We will always remember you Joshy, with pure fondness, love and joy. Forever in our hearts xx Sadly we had to say goodbye to Joshy. He stayed and passed away at home with us, cuddled and loved. Rest in Peace Joshy xx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It was a good day for walking today! No rain, snow, or wind. :)) everyone, volunteers and Greyhounds enjoyed going out. Xxx River met her prospective Greyhound sister, they got on very well and will meet again tomorrow. Xxx It was good to see previous Daybreaks residents coming in to use the sand run and for nail clipping. Xxx Thanks so much to all of our volunteers for your help today. Xxx A big thank you to Phil and his work colleagues who arranged a delivery to the kennels of lots of goodies from the Iceland store yesterday. :)) Food for the dogs, including hotdog sausages! Treats for both the dogs and volunteers. In fact a little of everything! Xxx We are so grateful to Phil and Sylvia for their much valued, continued support. Sending lots of love to them and their gorgeous Greyhounds, Rio and Ella. Xxx We have some very beautiful, fun, happy Greyhounds waiting to begin new lives...please consider giving one of them a chance to be part of your family, you won't regret it! :)) Xxx Xxx

As with Spirit. I missed this dude yesterday because he was out on morning walks, which is more important! His nose in his picture is comical...

Monty

Monty was getting a little jelous yesterday when I visited the kennels. I was in with Gino and out the blue Monty decided to get a bit noisey by letting me know he wanted me to go and see him too. And I wouldn't miss a dog out for a visit and cuddle. So it was his turn next. Bless him...

Met Babe yesterday in the office where it was lovely and warm. She is such a cuddle monster! With her extremely soft fur and her coat on she snuggled and leant up me straight away when we first met. She started licking my face and my jacket too... Such a kind and loving gal

I took Billy to Elmdon Park today. He was a very good boy. We met big and small dogs and whilst he was maybe a bit exuberant with the first little dog we meet, he did then learn that it was ok to greet at a slower pace or even that he didn't have to acknowledge every dog. He's a very handsome boy, who loves attention and fuss xx

Gino

We have some fantastic dogs at the moment, all loving and cheeky characters. But I think my current favourite has to be Gino. He's a lovely lad with lots of love to give and some playfulness in those eyes too. I do hope he finds his forever family soon xxx

Monty

Monty was up to his usual trick of stealing today... :)) Shirley was grooming one of the dogs and had hung their coat over the bars of the adjacent run. Well, Monty happened to be next door, he couldn't resist trying very gently to pull the coat through to his side without anyone noticing! He was caught in the act but showed no remorse, just wagged his tail. :)) Xxx
