Ice
I’m Homed
It is with great sadness and after a lot of discussion and heartache I wanted to let you know that Ice will be returning to Daybreaks. As a failed fosterer of Major, Mavis, Susie and Eric - a badge I don’t mind telling you I wear with pride. I did not think I would become a failed adopter in the true sense of the word. This time sadly we are not the right home for this beautiful boy and his return is through no fault of his own. Ice has been with us for a few weeks. He has met lots of new people, is now house trained and is much improved walking on the lead. He sleeps through the night, is not fazed by stairs, washing machines, tumble dryers or vacuum cleaners - in fact you have to pick his legs up! He is truly a fun loving, energetic and huge character. I feel he would benefit from being the only dog in the household. A home where he is the focus of attention. Ice has so much to give he is just a baby and truly deserves to find a family where he will flourish.

Hey Auntie Kate, Thank you! Tell Skip I wasn’t very impressed either! It wasn’t that bad afterwards as I got a treat! I gave the sad eyes! Always works.... I have checked every clock in the house and they all tell the correct time! Well apart from my sisters bedroom clock! She mostly uses her phone these days! Hers is an hour late! Silly hooman. I luckily got my dinner on time today! Phew... in return I’ll go and sleep on the hoomans bed! Lubs Russ Xx

A cuddle for Alex tonight. He had a visit from his family this afternoon. He was very excited to see them and loved all the extra fuss. He did his special shake of bottom half catching up with his top half several times! Always makes me smile...never get tired of seeing him do it! He went out for a walk with them and enjoyed more cuddles on his return. He was genuinely sad when they left and led Hollie and Dizzy in a soulful sing song! However he is going home on Saturday so only a few more days to wait. :)) Xxx

Wow, was it cold today! Brrr...we kept the kennel doors closed and with the underbed heating on it felt quite cosy inside. :)) Our lovely volunteer Yvonne came in today. Very sadly she broke her arm a few weeks ago and has had to stay at home....but she came in for a few hours and was back to helping with everything, we had to keep reminding her to take it easy! :))) Yvonne, Louise and I took Alex, Hollie and Dizzy for a walk along the lane this morning. Yvonne had my Skip as he is nice and easy to walk. :)) None of them seemed to mind the snow showers and wind chill factor!! Can't wait for spring to arrive! :)) Xxx

Russ, how exciting to have a Valentines pressie from gorgeous Florence! :)) Xxx It's good to get your booster done, great to hear you are a healthy boy! :))) Skip has to have his later this month too. Don't think he will be very impressed! Hope you have got everyone to check their clocks today and you got your dinner at the right time!? :))) Lots of love Kate Xxx

Florence, how lovely to hear from you! Sorry to hear you have a sist but not a sister! Do hope you are all keeping warm in this very chilly weather. The woolly puppies are very cute! Good job they have their woolly coats to keep them warm. Really hope we will get to see you all in the spring. Lots of love Kate Xxx

Hello Auntie Kate, mom said you liked updates so I thought I’d write to you. I had to go to the V.E.T last week as mom found a lump on my leg. Apparently I’ve got a sist, I was hoping that an ‘er’ was going to the end of the sist but it didn’t happen. I did get my booster though as they won’t do them here at the moment but as I was already there I had it done, only 2 weeks late! There are white woolly puppies being born here now, they look cute but mom won’t let go and play with them! I hope that soon we’ll be able to come and see you all and maybe we can sneak a sibling back home with us that TC won’t notice. Lubs you lots. Florence xxx

Quick update on Cora. Despite chewing her lovely new bandage last night! She is being very good, shes a very quick learner, tomorrow we are going to get up close with the cats! So far shes ignored them through the window. Shes going to make someone a lovely companion.

So I went for my boosters today! I was a very good boy and I’m a very healthy dog! No problems at all. Even though I didn’t like it there! Christian was very nice though.... It was strange as I had to go on my own without daddy! I was rather happy to see him standing outside waiting for me afterwards. I’ve received a package for Valentine’s Day off the lovely Florence! Can’t wait to see what she has got me! I’m so lucky thank you! I also sent her something! Hope she likes it. Also it can’t be a story without some drama! Yesterday I decided to bark and whine for my dinner as it was late. The problem was mummy was on a zoom call at the time so I asked them too. They didn’t do it though. Luckily my lovely sister did it for me! I love her! Lubs Russ

After such a fantastic day yesterday it meant there were only three dogs in the kennels. Today it was justmyself and Dave, unfortunately Lynne and Simon who are normally in on Sunday could not make it, Simon has been a little unwell (not covid)! The sand run was fully booked, apart from that we managed to get some things done. Washing up to date, Pets at Home donation put away (sort of)! Dizzy had an outing to the park with Liz_Beth and was a very good boy. It is always interesting and equally important to know how our inmates behave in yet another new environment. Thanks so much to Liz for taking him out on a walk where he could see more of the big wide world. As always stay safe and well. I am still trying to defrost after today's very chilly temperatures!
