Daybreaks Diary!

So I had a dream, I had gone to the kennels to buy some pjs, not for Florence but for me! They were available in a Christmas red and a lovely blue. Long sleeved the top had a Christmas tree of greyhounds in various colours, 8 in total facing each other in pairs and looking up as if waiting for a treat! They stood on each other’s backs getting smaller with a star on top, there were other smaller stars placed randomly on the cotton jersey top. The cotton bottoms had individual greyhounds and scattered stars. They came in all sizes, even super fat to fit me. Kate was modelling a red pair beautifully! Wish I had the talent to make them. Xxx

Considering we have no dogs on site currently, I was kept very busy at the kennels yesterday with phone calls, post, emails, tidying and playing with the visitors to the sand run!!!! Sadly Trooper came back to the kennels - this is hopefully temporary - so he came home with me - he is such an amazing good boy! Today is just as busy - we have a big team of fabulous volunteers and we are moving the Daybreaks feathered girls, general tidying and sorting of all the donated items and much more - we are NEVER bored!!!!

For Jo and family, Just so sad for you today. I know the pain well & it never gets easier. At just 10 Willow was still too young. Life can be cruel and unfair. She fought well these past weeks. At least she was at home and can now sleep peacefully. Don't think of Willow as gone away... her journey has just begun. Life holds many facets, the Earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost... And Willow was loved so much. Rest in peace beautiful girl. Seana, Teddy, Fergal & Eoghan xxxx

We are completely heartbroken for you all Jo. We know how much you love her. You couldn't have given her a better life and it must be comforting that she could go to sleep safe and warm at home. You know where we are if you need us. RIP sweet Willow. Run free. x

It has been a very quiet morning at Daybreaks but I have caught up on lots of paperwork and just completed the homing paperwork for the lovely Zac - his new owners are going to pick him up from his foster home. The sand run has a few visitors booked today so if you would like to pop up to use this and let your dog off the lead for a bit of fun in the run, just give me a call on 0121 782 7702 to book. Payment links can be sent to your phone or you can pop your donation with your form (which are kept in the summer house in the run) in our letter box! Hope you are all enjoying your Christmas break xx
