Willow (Cherry)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well....this is a post that at the beginning of the week I thought would not be writing. Today is my beautiful Willow Pillows 10th birthday, happy birthday gorgeous girl, despite being very poorly for the last two weeks you have rallied and made it. She had not been eating and drinking very little to the point I was using a syringe to give her fluids, she then did not attempt to get up for two days. She visited Fivelands on Tuesday for what we thought would be goodbye. Christian vetandhairy man did not hold out much hope for her but gave her antibiotics and steroid injections, within an hour she was up and walking even if it was like a drunken dog. She started eating and drinking and walking properly and although not 100% is much better, even taking treats! Whilst she is happy we will continue to do the best for her. Happy birthday Willow Pillow, love you loads. Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Ugggghhh! What a miserable, cold, wet day! I had a day catching up on post and I am so grateful to everyone who has sent in donations to Daybreaks for Christmas. I am so grateful for the support we receive and absolutely can't wait for things to return to 'normal' - the kennels are just not the same without the kennels being fully occupied. The kennels remain open for the sand run and food collection but please call to book as we are only on site for a short while each day between Christmas and New Year.

Same old story , Greyhound , Rain just like oil and vinegar they only mix when you give them a push I cannot begin to even comprehend we've been together for 12 months 2 days in fact its completely mind-blowing , I only picked the girls up a week ago , your life is very short and your Greyhounds life is shorter so my advice is to make every moment a special moment (even if that is throwing them out in the rain for a wee) Have the best Christmas you can have you lovely people xx

Trooper

Trooper came in this morning full of beans; he enjoyed himself staying with Ruth, Andy, Tigger and Momma last night. :)) You wouldn't have thought he had been neutered only yesterday! Many thanks to his lovely new Mum for her patience...and to the great Pet Taxi driver who had brought her to the kennels...it was a very busy day and took a while to sort the paperwork. Finally after having a wee up against his bag of Burns Trooper was ready to go home! :))) We received a fab photo of him later this afternoon snuggled up on his very own forever sofa! So lovely to see. :)) Wishing him and his family a wonderful first Christmas together. Xxx

Happy 1st gotcha day! It's been 12 months since we bought you home. It's gone so fast. Flo is just the most funniest, cleverest, adorable little girl. She has Nifty & Cilla doing exactly what she wants. We cannot thank Ruth & Kate enough for allowing us to keep Flo & special thanks to Kate for all your help & advice. She knew Cilla & Flo would end up best friends playing together - which they are x

Super Trooper went off to the vets this morning for his neutering operation. He was such a good boy, jumped in the car and travelled very well. He bounced into the vets...didn't have the heart to tell him what he was there for! Ruth was picking him up this evening and taking he home. Hope he is bring a good boy. :)) Xxx

Apparently I made the hoomans laugh. Don’t know why. I decided to take my lickmat into the living room to put in my washing up bowl (which the hoomans gave to me early). Daddy tried to take the mat back in the kitchen but before he even got out of the room I took it out of his hands again. In the end this went on for 10 minutes and daddy gave up. Finally got the lickmat just where I want it! Lubs Russ

Trooper

I met Trooper in kennels yesterday. He's just like my Nadie (they are related)! A bundle of fun and energy, but walks beautifully (albeit he likes to zig zag 🙂 ) Simon and I took him on two walks down the lane which he loved. We both spent time with him in his kennel and had face washes, leans and lots of cuddles. Congratulations to his new family. I hope he doesn't feel too sorry for himself after his neutering today - he can look forward to going home tomorrow and settling in ready for Christmas. Be good, Trooper, and enjoy your retirement.
