I feel bad - how did we miss the fact that it was gorgeous Samson's birthday at the kennels today!?!?!? He had a nice day anyway, 2 lovely walks in the sunshine and sardines for supper, so not too bad - but I must apologise to him tomorrow and take him a special, belated treat. xx

Elle is such a pretty little girl. She was very good during her arrival checks & bath, and was also happy to be out exploring her new surroundings. She was very dainty eating her supper bless her. xx

Cooper (Friend)

What can I say - what a stunner. Such a good boy standing patiently for his arrival checks and bath, he enjoyed his walk and was taking everything in around him. He got a bit spooked by the noisy lorries, not surprised really, but was happy to trot along other than that. He has the most beautiful eyes that look right at you. I may be a bit biased though, because he is the spitting image of my late Shane. I envisage his stay at Daybreaks will be a short one!! xx

Poor Lisa is on restricted exercise whilst she recovers from her broken hock which means she can't go off lead in the sand run or go on a long walk. She is such a happy, bouncy little girl I am sure when she is fully recovered, she is going to be such a bundle of fun to be around. She does love to cuddle too. xx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Another glorious sunny day - and 2 walks without coats for our residents (and us!!). We all appreciated feeling the sun on our backs. I met yesterdays new arrivals, handsome Jake and the very cute Lisa. Jake is a very striking, tall, leggy boy who looks like he is wearing a pair of long white socks on his front legs!! He strides out on his walks, but is just interested in his new surroundings and excited to see what's about. Sadly for Lisa she is recovering from a broken hock so her exercise is restricted at the moment. She is a lovely bundle of fun, and I can imagine when she is fully recovered she will be a live wire indeed! As she was a bit vocal in her kennel, she spent the day reclining on a raised bed in the feeding run watching the world go by. x Mid morning saw the arrival of Daybreaks latest family members, pretty little Elle and the impossibly gorgeous Friend. Both earned gold stars for standing so beautifully for their arrival checks and behaving very well in the bath. They enjoyed the afternoon walk, both curious about their surroundings and getting a bit spooked by the big lorries whooshing past, but otherwise walking nicely. Friend is the absolute spitting image of my late Shane, even down to his size and beautiful eyes. I can't see him having time to unpack his suitcase somehow!! Just a reminder that we are running an appointment system at the kennels, so please give us a call to book your visit - whatever it may be for. Well, the weekend is here again, and lets hope this amazing weather holds out. We have viewings booked, so keep fingers crossed for a few more red or green signs by Monday morning. I shall be raising my usual glass of chilled white wine later to toast our boys & girls, we have some beautiful Greys in kennels at the minute. As always, stay distanced, stay safe - cheers!! Angie xx

Happy birthday Samson. This super lad has a bit of a fan club going at Daybreaks and I'm a member too. He is one lovely boy, I'm just surprised he's still waiting for a home. Hopefully this weekend someone will fall for him and won't pass him by That would be the best birthday present ever xx

Daybreaks Diary!

A very busy day. 🙂 I took Shane off to the vets first thing for his neutering operation. He was perfect in the car, jumped straight in and settled down straight away. Many thanks to James for picking him up this afternoon. He was quite perky when he got back and was able to eat his dinner. The staff at the vets tnought he was lovely! :)) Xxx Lovely Josh found himself a home and has been reserved. So very happy for him! He adores his new Mum already and was very disappointed when she had to go home. :)) We also had two new arrivals this morning, Lisa and Jake. Both very happy characters! Xx Lucy had a customer for a pamper, very pretty girl called Wispa. She loved all the attention she got from volunteers and visitors. :)) Thanks so much for everyone's help today. Shirley and Richard popped in to see us. They brought their girls, Millie and Frieda with them. Skip thought it was great to have two pretty girls to share the kitchen kennel with. He wasn't much of a gentleman...he got the high bed and the girls had to make do with the cushions on the floor!!! Xxx Two more new arrivals tomorrow! :)) Xxx

Thanks so much to Erik and his family for fostering Barney. It's really interesting to hear how he is getting on and now his training is going. He obviously needs help with building bookcases! Hoping it won't be long before his forever home comes along. Xxx
