Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
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!

Dizzy
I’m Homed
Gorgeous Dizzy came to Elmdon Park with me today. He is such a patient boy. Not only did he stand extremely patiently whilst I figured out of how to put the harness on, only to establish it was too tight and to start again with a new one, but he also put up with me singing ' I'm so dizzy' repeatedly!! He was a good boy on the walk and whilst initially a bit fazed by dogs running around him, by the end of the walk he came nose to nose with several breeds with no reaction. There was quite a lot of activity around the lake with lots of people and dogs. He was quite bewildered to start with and didn't know where to look first, but soon settled down and took it in his stride. He is a very sweet, gentle boy. Fingers crossed he gets his forever sofa soon xx

Jim
I’m Homed
Well Jim has come right out of his shell at home, he was a little stoic at the kennels, on guard and taking everything in. It turns out when you get him into a home he melts into the most affection loving and inquisitive soul! He seems good on walks, just a little excitable when he sees the other dogs off lead. He also seems to be almost grasping the concept of house training already, he knows to go to the back door but has had one little accident over night. Overall he’s a lovely protecting brother who is secretly a little softie! Fingers crossed for cat introductions later xxxx

Rosie
I’m Homed
Well as we all probably expected, Rosie has been an absolute angel since we picked her up. She is the most loving and naturally well behaved girl in the house! She’s a little bit timid when she has to decide what she wants to do for herself but so far it’s coming down to either fuss or snuggling up with Jim in bed, fingers crossed for cat introductions later on xxxx

Wendy
I’m Homed
During these difficult times I thought it good to give a further update on Wendy. She is now such a confident and happy dog, always 'smiling' and absolutely adores her 'sister' Jinky! She is a real joy and brings much happiness day by day. It is hard to believe that she ran some 80 odd races, particularly when you see her curled up on the bed for the most of the day. Someone was definitely looking over both myself and Jinky on the day that we decided to adopt her. I do hope that Ruth and all the staff at daybreaks are able to continue to give these wonderful dogs a most loving home.

I’d just like to point out that it was Rosie-4-legs who was bitten by her brother Jim, and Rosie-2-legs (ie me) who did Jane’s rehoming. And not the other way round :)))
