Ollie
I’m Homed
It was lovely to see Ollie on the Lickey Walk today with his perspective new owners and their children and 2 greys. He has been great with the children and lets them come and cuddle him when he is in his bed. Lets hope his rehabilitation continues and his searching looks and visits to the window staring out will eventually end as he settles into his new home. You are a very special grey Ollie and we will all be taking a great interest in your new life and future happiness and hopefully your appetite will come back soon.

Magic
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Ann and Willow, i also wondered whether my spoiled Rossi would accept another greyhound but it was no problem at all, he likes having his own kind around as well as having Monty dog. Magic has met Monty and she was certainly VERY curious as to what he was but i have no doubt that she would learn to accept other breeds given a bit of time and training. generally dogs and hounds seem to like having a canine companion and i am sure if you were to take Willow to meet Magic and go for a walk with the two of them and have them spend some time in the run together you'll soon tell if they are happy to be together. why not give it a go, it would make Magic's life truly magical if she found a loving home soon.

I'd love to have her, but worry what Willow would think and can I really cope with two? How's Magic getting on with other breeds of dog?

Yes Yes Yes! I'm sure Willow would LOVE a little sister 😉 Magic is wonderful, and I too can't understand why she hasn't been snapped up yet. Go on...you know you want her 😉

Rose
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Just a quick update on Rose. The six weeks she has been with us have flown by. Her character is coming out all of the time, she is a lively girl and was even more livelier this morning when she spotted a cat by our patio. She has took to taking my slippers and putting them on her bed, she doesnt chew them or anything just leaves them there. Rose loves a walk in the park and meeting other dogs. She loves her food particularly the occasional sausage. She is very loving and greets us with a very waggy tail when we get back home. She is very fussy though about her bed, it has to be just right to sleep on otherwise we hear her at night tossing and turning. All in all she has settled in well to her new home.

Magic
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hello! (First big mistake) I keep looking at the Daybreaks website and I keep looking at Magic, she looks so lovely I can't believe she hasn't been snapped up yet. My second big mistake was looking at Magic's family tree, turns out she and Willow have the same Dad! ... I wonder if Willow would like a little sister ... ?!?!

Barney

hi ruth and everyone at the kennels, just thought i'd update you on how barney rubble is doing. he has settled so well and hasn't made a sound from day 1 and has had no toileting accidents either from day 1. its like hes always been here. we had my mums dog over for 5 days and he was a perfect gentleman with her. she however was a bossy little madam but he just ignored her completely when she was in one of her "bossy moods" and left her to it! he loves his food, has put on over 5 kilos and his coat is lovely. he just loves his toys and flings them all over the place. hes very often found surrounded by them completely crashed out! he loves to sleep upside down with his teeth out and manouvers his way around the wall to get comfy! he hasn't attempted to get on the sofas at all although he is more than welcome too. hes alittle shy like that. give him time!bet he'll be on them before we know it! out and about hes generally very good and has plenty of doggy friends, hes still a little excitable around the smaller furry ones, hes fine until they scoot off and then he tries to chase after them, hes getting there though, hes very responsive to his training and will listen. he said a very nice hello to a westie yesterday. with time and training he will come on, we are sure. hes a good lad and he will be off on his hols very soon to skeggy! hes a dream in the car. so all in all hes a loving, funny, happy go lucky lad who really loves life and his home comforts, hes very loyal and a big fusspot! him and floydy are best buddies and he looks to floyd for guidance. floyd is an excellent role model, hes fab around all dogs and very calm and relaxed, barney definately looks up to his big brother!

Toby
I’m Homed
thanks so much for asking how my little man is, he's fine, always was, just his silly mum panicking, bless him, he's got such a pain threshold which just confirms how awful his life was before he came to Daybreaks. he is doing wonderfully well, weighs 35.5 kg now and absolutely loves every dog he meets, he played with a 12 weeks old cocker spaniel pup yesterday and you've never seen anything so sweet and gentle in your life. Toby seems very happy and contented and he is slowly losing his fear of people. it'll take a little while yet but he's getting there. he is most certainly a much loved boy and i simply an't imagine my life without him. Ina x
