It's Good Friday - and it was a good Friday at Daybreaks!! My first day back at the kennels for 5 months started off slowly - but then turned into an absolute whirlwind!! The sand run was almost fully booked, all appointments were booked - and it was great to be back amongst the doggies! Ruth had plenty of customers for nail clipping and teeth cleaning & scraping during the day. After the initial dull, cloudy start the sun broke through and it was a really lovely Spring day. Chris & I enjoyed our walks with the residents down the quiet lane, and I finally got to meet the doggies I have admired in photos. Samson and Alex are indeed strong boys who find their walks very exciting! Ritchie walks by your side beautifully, and Sanka did very well today after a reluctant start! Once you get him going he does enjoy sniffing and walking, and a tennis ball is sufficient encouragement if he stops!! Jack is a lovely lad, and walks well. Beautiful Pitch went off to her new home at lunchtime, wishing her lots of happy times ahead. Just as she was leaving, new arrival Jenny came through the gate. Such a gorgeous, calm girl, she was a very good girl whilst I gave her a bath and a check over - but she was hardly dry from her bath when she was reserved and went out on trial with a lovely Greyhound sister. Buddy's new Mum & Dad were scheduled to visit him this afternoon and, after taking him for a walk, decided they couldn't wait any longer and took him home with them today!! He is a stunner and we wish them many happy times ahead. Rosie popped in this afternoon with birthday foster boy Barney - he really is a lovely boy and she says he is very clever and quick to learn. Apparently it's sausages for his tea tonight! The lovely weather meant washing was done and dried on the line, and doggies could have a break from wearing coats again. The best news of all though was that Caesar has found himself a foster home with a lovely family who will care for him for as long as is needed. We thank them so much for this offer. Don't forget the online Easter Pet Show starts tomorrow - get posting your photos! And the Easter raffle will be drawn on Sunday at 2pm - Ruth will be doing a live cast on Facebook, so there's still time to get your tickets! Well that was a bit of an epic post - you can tell I am excited about being back! I am now officially shattered though, so will be enjoying a nice glass of G&T later in celebration of a good day. Happy Easter everyone - stay distanced, stay safe and take care. Angie xxx

Sarah, we will miss seeing your sweet little face on Wednesday mornings. You gave been a brave and determined little girl over the last few months and, even on Wednesday, you were still up to having a sneaky biscuit off Auntie Denise and a wander round the kennels! Run fast and free little one. Sending hugs to all your family. Xx

Sarah (Ballymac Sarah) 09/10/2008 - 02/04/2021 I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken to say that this morning we had to say goodbye to Sarah Scare Bear. She was diagnosed with leukaemia in August last year, despite this she continued to fight. There were several times when we thought it was her time, but she was like a little 'terminator'! Over the past few days her back legs had started to deteriorate and we had to make the hardest decision to see her off to Rainbow Bridge. She was certainly the boss with our other greys. I am so very thankful to Christian and Fivelands for her care over the past seven months of her life, months more than we expected. Thanks to Ruth for giving her the honour of being Miss August in this year's Daybreaks calender. Sarah Scare Bear, I love you so much, words really aren't enough to tell you how much. The boys will miss you so much. You may be no longer by my side, but you will be forever in my heart. Run fast and free beautiful angel. Xxxxxxx

I guess Spring and Summer are over, it was back to Autumn again today! After no coats and no underbed heating for the last couple of days, our residents went to bed with coats and underbed heating back on! 🙂 We had a new arrival today, handsome Jack! He was a little stressed this afternoon. He has lived at his racing kennels since he was a puppy and must be feeling very disorientated at the moment. xxx We have another new arrival expected tomorrow. :)) Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. My supervisor, Skip didn't come with me today...I really missed him! Xxx

Caesar

We are all so very sad for Caesar and for the Greyhound injured by him yesterday. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Thinking of Caesar's foster family, it's been a very traumatic time for them. I know they were very fond of him. Xx It would be wonderful if someone could offer Caesar a loving home for how ever long he may have. In 2019 we had lovely Bobby who was diagnosed with liver cancer a few weeks after we fostered him. He was only expected to live for a few weeks. However we had twelve months with him. He was an absolute joy, we were very lucky to have had the pleasure of his company and we have no regrets about taking him on. Xxx Sending lots of love to Caesar tonight. Xxx
