Sanka is such a lovely boy. He is very friendly but not sure of himself on walks. He loves being out of the kennel and is a really good boy in the kennel. Huge cuddles for him tonight xx

I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful boy last week whilst visiting Daybreaks. He rested his head in my hand for a fuss, he was just the loveliest boy ever, if only he was cat friendly! I hope he finds his forever home soon with someone who can give him the TLC, patience and unconditional love he deserves. Sweetest boy Xx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
An absolutely non stop crazy day today. The sand run was solidly booked, as were our visitor appointments! I have come home and crashed.... I am absolutely worn out! Sadly no reservations or homings but two gorgeous new arrivals. Sadly Woody is coming back on Tuesday and Ritchie back from trial on Saturday so we have a full house and still low on volunteers because of our COVID restrictions. I had my COVID vaccination yesterday and really hoping things will get back to normal!

Samson
I’m Homed
Lovely Samson came for a walk with me to Elmdon Park today. He's a super lad, really happy to be out and very handsome. We saw lots of dogs today and he wasn't interested in any of them. Some got a backwards glance, but that was the extent of it. He started off walking quite quickly, but lucky for him, I like a brisk walk. An hour and a half later though he had slowed down somewhat. Bless him xx

Well Nidge came home with us yesterday and seems to be settling in really well. No problems with our other 2 greys so far, so keeping my fingers crossed. He is proving to be a food monster though & is fixated by the fridge & the kitchen bin! He is also quite a thief, from cushions, to slippers, coats, in fact anything that’s not bolted down but he is happy to give them back to you. I think it’s what you call ‘character’. He is also trying to pull the blinds in the lounge, if anyone leaves the room, so helpful! We have also met dogs of all shapes & sizes out on our walks, only at a distance, as it’s early days. He seems to be more curious than reactive, no barking, just a little whimpering if they are off lead, as though he’s thinking ‘why can’t we join in’? He’s proving himself to be a much loved addition to the family, with a personality that is going to keep us on our toes! Ruth, Kate & Jane, thank you so much for introducing us to Nidge, sorry but I don’t think you will be getting him back other than a visit to see his Aunties!!

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Apparently it’s naughty to chase a cat that was in our garden! I spotted him, chased him and decided to jump up the fence. The hoomans didn’t see him under the hedge as he/she was well hidden. The cat ran away from me... I’m not scary am I? I can’t get over the fence though! How do these cats do it so easily! Anyway I love my hoomans even though my dinner was late again yesterday!!!! They said I was an hour early? Surely not. I’ve been giving them a lot of attention and I have worked out how to get a treat out of them. Doesn’t always work though. Stand over by the treat draw looking cute and it works most of the time. Sometimes they will say no if I’ve had enough. Which isn’t nice of them. Russ Xx

Sanka decided he really didn't want to go for a walk this morning. Jess managed to coax him for a short walk this afternoon. He is a sweet lad who needs extra help with the scary outside world. Xxx

A busy day, especially in the sand run. :)) Great to see Caesar go out on foster, do hope all goes well for him. He absolutely loved the family who have taken him. He has a Greyhound friend for company too. Xxx Thanks to everyone who donated beddding and towels and gifts, all very much appreciated. Xxx Don't forget our super Easter raffle, everone wants to get hold of the giant caterpillar! I know my little Lyra would love it! :)) Xxx All the residents had a lovely Kong stuffed with treats at bedtime again tonight. They do look forward to them and I'm sure they help the dogs to settle for the evening. 🙂 Thanks so much to Patric, Jayne and Jess for all your help today. :)) Another busy day tomorrow, including two more new arrivals! Xxx Xxx

Thanks so much to Erik for his latest update on Locky. It's great to hear how his training is going. Erik also gives us all some useful tips! 🙂 It's a good thing he is a strong chap, carrying a 40Kg Greyhound down the stairs is quite a challenge! :)) Xxx

Love to Barney after his op, hope he is feeling ok, I'm sure when he is in a loving stable home he won't be so barky, it must be quite stressful being in kennels, they all show their feelings in different ways, I think you are gorgeous anyway Barney, good luck fella xxxxxx
