The lovely Brenda, always a clean kennel and waits quietly and patiently for her turn to come out of her kennel. This morning I had to disturb her and invite her out for breakfast - she was lying upside down with her legs in the air!!! X

I am totally smitten by this beautiful girl. As a mature lady myself I fully empathise with her need for a quiet life, lots of TLC and lots of love. Once she is familiar with you she is an absolute sweetheart, she always holds up the proceedings by standing up and putting her paws on your shoulders for a gentle cuddle before she reluctantly goes back into her kennel. Really hope she gets another chance at home life very soon, she so deserves it. Xx

This adorable soul had me in stitches this morning. Out in the feeding run we were obviously taking too long to bring his breakfast, so he pulled down a blanket that was folded over the bars and made himself a very comfy bed to sit on whilst waiting for food service! He may be a big fella but he is absolutely gorgeous, funny friendly and up for some fun. Xx

Kate, I have been struggling to find the words to express my heartfelt condolences to you, John, Lyra and Cracker. You gave Skip the most wonderful home, he loved everyone he met and they in turn loved him. He is now running fast and free with Twiggy and Bob. He will have everending egg and milk with Bob!! He was such a lovely boy and such a wonderful character. Now running fast and free, another beautiful angel called to the bridge. Much love to you, John, Lyra and Cracker. In my thoughts, xxxx

Oh Kate I am so very sorry to hear this. Skip was such a lovely hairy lad and so patient with all the dogs at the kennels. Sending you, John, Lyra and Cracker huge hugs from me and Tom. I vote it egg custard day tomorrow for Skip.

Skipper (Sourhill Sailor) 09 April 2011 - 13 June 2024 We lost our beloved Skip today. We are absolutely heartbroken. Xxx He has been poorly for the last couple of weeks and we knew his time with us was coming to an end, however we were not prepared for a sudden down turn in his condition today and he passed away in my arms this morning. :(( We have been so lucky to have Skip with us for just over ten years and he celebrated his 13th Birthday in April. Xxx Skip accompanied me to the kennels all the time, he was my constant companion and best friend. He never complained when we were late going home, or when asked to share his space with several other dogs, he got on with everyone. He was my supervisor. :)) At home he was a quiet, unassuming lad who loved sleeping, Egg Custards and Yoghurt! :). He was one of Bob's ex-racers, never the most energetic lad despite Bob frequently telling his friends, Skip was a "fast dog"!! As Skip got older, he also became more hairy! Indeed he was the hairiest Greyhound I have ever met...I was asked several times if he was a Labrador!! 🙂 Thank you Skip for being such a wonderful member of our family for the last ten years. For putting up with Twiggy bossing you around and in later years, Lyra constantly walking over you and treading on you! We will all miss you and love you forever. Xxx Run free with Bob or maybe have a gentle stroll with Nanny, you were always her favourite, she called you "a good pensioners dog" Xxx God Bless you my sweetheart. Xxx xxx

I really do hope that someone homes her soon. She is the most beautiful, loving and funny dog. She deserves a good home with people that have experience of homing greyhounds as she will give so much love and bring so much joy to her owner.

I was so sad to hear about poor Ellie, So sorry for you Lucy, We all know how it hurts. One of my favorites and I was so pleased when she came to live with you so I could still see her at Daybreaks. So many memories of her food stealing stealth. Earning the name Ellie the foodie, nothing was safe in the kitchen. I remember the day she nearly stole the doughnuts while we were all talking. She weaved her way between us all and only when I noticed the tray slowly move we knew what she was up to. Run free now Ellie with all our past friends and don't steal Bob's sandwiches. xxx
