Daybreaks Diary!

All the Daybreaks residents were treated to a cooked Breakfast this morning. 🙂 Yesterday I visited good friends of Daybreaks, Phil, Sylvia and their lovely Greyhounds Rio and Ella. Phil had been sponsored by his work colleagues to cook breakfast for all of the dogs. 🙂 They were fabulous, two hash browns, sausage, scrambled eggs, ham, toast and a couple of gravy bones. 🙂 The dogs absolutely loved them! Xxx We are so grateful to Phil and Sylvia, not only for the breakfasts but for all the other supplies they so kindly donated. Thank you so much for all your support. Xxx

Locky
I’m Homed
The gentle giant, this is so true and he is so lovable. I fostered Locky to work with him on his over-excitement of seeing other dog breeds. On Saturday, we did our normal introduction to our home. I first let him in the garden, a walk around the block and then invite him into our house and let him explore rooms. I always thought Charlotte (our Greyhound) is a big girl but she is dwarfed by Locky. He ofcourse is new to the home environment and needs to learn about the boundaries, where he can go and where he cannot go. This will take him time and for us adjusting our routine to allow Locky to learn. I had to change this paragraph a bit due to this afternoons experiences. Nevertheless, I have taken Locky on a number of walks to see how he response to other dog(s) and dog breeds. During the weekend and this morning, he has seen, poodle, a quite a number of mixed breeds, a german sheperd dog, a couple of spaniels, a tinny jack russel, a border collie and he did not reacted at all to them. This afternoon there was a change noted, I saw him respond to a cocker spaniel, our neighbours Westy and, I did a walk with him and Charlotte we met a small cross breed and he lunched at him. My wife and I did notice that he was more restless this Monday afternoon compared to yesterday when we were all home. Today, once we where all home, he relaxed and was sleeping. There maybe a little clue there. We will go on a journey of discovery with Locky and try to help him become less reactive. He has a castration appointment next week which hopefully will help him to. Sofar, he is a joy to have around, he is so lovable. He comes up for cuddles. When you walk in the room his tail starts to wag whilst he is lying down. When you come home you are greeted with such a happy dog it is great. My daughter (4) thinks he is great, my wife likes him. He is an easy walk, does not pull, my wife who is petite is confident enough to walk him. Overall a positive start.

Woody (Sanka)
I’m Homed
Sanka is a very nice boy. I walked him today and he is very strong on the lead and a bit unsure of his surroundings. So much so that he stopped on the pavement an refused to budge!! Tail between his legs he then decided we would go back the way we came, I didn't argue. I think he will be fine once he is properly settled. It's a huge learning curve for some of these dogs and some need more understanding than others. Hes a lovely boy . Kisses for him xxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
I would firstly like to thank Denise for coming in today. She likes to get in early, so when Dave and I arrived at 'normal' time the kennels were cleaned, dogs fed and cats sorted! She did have some help, so thanks to her helpers for coming in! Liz_Beth came in for morning walks, thanks so very much to her for coming in. She normally loves to take a dog to the park, but with Lynne and Simon being out of action at the moment Liz's help is very much appreciated with our normal walking routine. Bobby had a viewing this morning, thanks so very much to Helen and Amy his foster family for bringing him in, I know they were very tempted to keep him, but he has found a super home with a sister/friend who had very recently lost her greyhound companion. They got on really well, so consequently they decided to give him his forever home. So very happy for him. Barney is still a little unsettled in kennels, so he spent a big part of the day in the feeding run on a bed with lots of blankets. He was so happy. There was interested in fostering him, unfortunately one of the families existing greys was not so keen, they were very disappointed, but things have to be right for all concerned. Lots of sand run bookings, a bedding donation and lovely to see Ruby Rebel who came in for food (accompanied by his owners of course)! We also had a new arrival, Lauren a beautiful blue girl. Thanks to Dave and Lynne (who popped in briefly with Simon to use the sand run) for bathing her and doing her health check. If you haven't seen it already there is a fabulous raffle prize of a luxury dog hamper up for grabs. There is a VERY BIG Caterpillar toy, loads of toys and lovely doggie treats and fab luxury dog food. Lots of people who came in bought tickets and there was lots of interest over the phone. If you would like tickets please give us a call, we can take payment over the phone and give you your ticket numbers. There will also be a hamper for the humans amongst us which will be posted very soon (that too looks greyt)! Hopefully and fingers crossed we may soon be able to get back to normal....whatever that will be. Here's hoping for a good week ahead this week. Take care all. X
