I saw Minnie this morning...we decided that when Santa Paws visits Daybreaks next week, she should mention to him that her Mom and Dad have been eating her Tuna and put them on the naughty list! :))) Xxx

It was fffffreezing this morning! Needed to breathe on the gate padlock to gain access to the kennels! Fortunately the boys & girls had the benefit of under bed heating to keep them toasty overnight (honestly I am contemplating moving in as it is so much warmer than my house!!!!) I just love Monty - his kennel is full of toys and when he goes back in after his breakfast, the tidy group of toys on his bed soon degenerates into a heap of fun on the floor as he just loves playing and throwing his toys around!!! Really hope this handsome and clever boy can find his own sofa soon. Xxxx

Miss Minnie Moose checking in with a mahoosive complaint- my hoomans keep eating my tuna! This is definitely not on and I have asked my Aunty Kate to have serious words with my Mummy & Daddy. Apart from this - I am having such fun and being a star apparently. I had to go to school with a behaviourist to address my reactivity to other breeds, and I am doing soo much better now - I even stood quietly whilst Mummy spoke to our neighbour with his Northumberland Terrier! I love going to the kennels with Mummy & Daddy when they go to work, and I love playing games and sniffing all the parcels that arrive at the house - well, you never know what’s in them! My Christmas wish is for all my pals at the kennels to find their own forever homes - it really is the best to be part of a hooman home. Woofs & licks, Minnie x

A big thank you to all the wonderful Greyhounds who came to the kennels to donate blood yesterday. Xxx We have had a message from Megan at the Blood Bank to say they collected 12 units from the dogs, 11 of which were the negative blood type which means they are universal donors. :)) Richard and Shirley's, Freida and Lynnes, Nadie received a special present each as they were both giving blood for the 10th time! What amazing little girls! Xxx Four of our current Daybreaks residents also became donors, Penny, Pan, Jack and Monty. It was a very long day and it was nearly 6pm before Monty got to bed! He loved it so much he wanted to go back out with the nurse and do it all again. 🙂 Xxx If you are interested in your Greyhound becoming a Blood Donor please give the Blood Bank a call on 01509 232 222. Their next visit to us will be on 18th January 2024. Xxx

You too Rob/Penny! I'm over the moon, as always wanted him to make it into previous ones and this is such a tribute to him. He still makes me so proud every day even from over rainbow Bridge xxx

Bobby (Toby)

Toby today paid his first visit to Elmdon Park. He really is very keen on the lead and prospective adopters should bear that in mind when planning his exercise. However as with many strong lads he is extremely affectionate towards everyone he meets. Also there were no problems with him meeting other breeds. A lovely natured boy who hopefully before too long will find the active home that will suit his character best.

Pan reminds me of my beloved Paddy in that he is a bit shy and slow putting himself forward to new people. I think that once he finds his forever home he will come out of his shell a bit more. I feel there is a lot of love and playfulness in him and he will settle down well given a chance. I just hope he doesn't get overlooked by prospective owners. Keeping my fingers crossed he will celebrate Christmas on a sofa with a new family xx

Pan is still waiting patiently for his forever home. Xxx He is a lovely boy, who can be a little shy meeting new people. He has settled well at the kennels and is a pleasure to look after. Xxx
