Max
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Wishing my Gummy bear Max a very happy 11th birthday. Don't think he knows how old he is as he certainly doesn't act his age! He is such a funny gentle boy who knows his own mind and makes us smile every day with his spinning zoomies in the house (won't do it outside). Love you loads, decision on dinner has not been made yet but I am sure he will update when he decides what they are all having. Xxxx Gummers says stay safe and well everyone and hopefully as lockdown eases a bit more we can all start to meet up and maybe have some walks and outdoor events arranged. X

Caesar
I’m a Sponsor Dog
Ceasar has had an eventful week. He had 3 walks a day together with Barney, now and then with Charlotte (our old lady Grey). Charlotte is really getting old her mind wants to go for walks but her body will say NOOO towards the end of the walk. As the weather was good we did have frequent walks along the canal, always a nice experience for them. He was not impressed with the ducks or the swans but Barney did find them interesting. I have been surprised how strong this little boy is on the lead. Ceasar also met lots of different breeds and is not always sure about them and can lunge. He came along to pick-up our daughter from school, as short walk away from home. Ceasar may be poorly but he will still need to learn the robes about living in a home so he will receive training. Ceasar and Barney are truly crime mates they both get up to mischief and sometimes team up 🙂 a little tag team. They enjoyed visiting the Kennels and the run where they were chasing one an other for toys. Ceasar also got a bath which he was less impressed with and he got a grooming session too. Ceasar is in interesting character, he is really not concerned about the others. So he may lay down and place his head on a sleeping Charlotte, jump on the Sofa where Charlotte is lying or just wriggles in a space between barney and a cupboard which can result in growls or barks. He also insists on morning cuddle, Barney sometimes joins in. He is such a great little boy.

George

George and his new family had to go home in a monsoon this afternoon! He was such a very good boy in the office and stood patiently, modelling fleeces and raincoats! He looked very smart. :)) He has a lovely new family with two pretty sisters! Thanks so much to them all for their patience as it took a while to sort paperwork etc. Wishing George lots of happiness and fun times. Xxx

Well, what a glorious Bank Holiday Monday! Very wet and very cold! :)) However, lots of "sunshine" at the kennels with beautiful little Trudie reserved and gorgeous George going home. :)) Xxx The sand run was very busy again, it was great to see ex Daybreaks residents Jasper and Hawk. :)) Many thanks to Yvonne and Myra for taking all the residents out for walks this morning. They both got very wet! As it was still raining this afternoon the dogs had extra fuss and grooming. Even they didn't seem too bothered about not going for a walk. Xxx Hoping it will be a little dryer tomorrow! Xxx

Well it may be a hideous day weather wise - but what a fabulous day anyway. Lovely little Trudie reserved - yay. It's been a great Bank Holiday weekend - Reserved, the 2 lovely girls returned last week and long stayer Samson, and 2 of the newcomers not getting a chance to unpack their suitcases before getting a red sign. If that isn't an excuse for a celebration drop of something I don't know what is, lol!!!! Onward & upwards at Daybreaks - love it. Stay safe & well one and all. xxx

Penny came for a very wet walk today. She walked very well on the lead and enjoyed being out of the kennel. She is a super playful young lady. Returned to her kennel one very soggy doggy wanted to play and we had a tug of war with the lead. Hope she doesnt have to wait to long for her forever home. Cuddles for playful Penny x xx

Barney
I’m Homed
Barney, is really enjoying his younger greyhound they form a great crime partnership :-)). Barney was in the run for a little bit, he was enjoying the toys in there and having a run with Ceasar and battling over a toy. This was great to see such a playing partnership. I have been pleased with Barney, he is becoming more used to different breeds. He is still responding but it is always excitement not aggression. We got quite close to some small breeds and it takes a bit of time before he starts to whine and bark. Over time he will get used to other breeds and not respond at all. It simply needs desentisisation, the more he sees them the better he will get at it. He is still finding being on his own a challenge. Because I needed to focus a bit on Ceasar last week we did not have much chance to do more work on him being alone but we will pick this up this week. Barney is very good with our daughter (4 years old) this is always supervised. It is not easy for dogs to understand the strange sounds and movements young children make. This is especially for sighthounds as they are hard wired to respond to all the things very young children do. I do feel that Barney is ready for his own forever home. I will continue my work with him but he is ready to settle in a home he can call his own and the longer he stays with us the stronger his attachement becomes to us. You can really see the difference in him. He is much calmer now then when we first had him. Please, for Barneys sake, consider this loving, playful, active, outdoor loving and gentle boy. The right family will get such a great dog.
