Unfortunately I am just on my way to collect this fella as he is not getting on with one of his four legged housemates:-((((

Oh no. Poor Lucy. It's best, though, that she's in the right home. It must be hard for her new family to have made that decision. See you tomorrow beautiful girl. x

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It was Chloe's turn at the Vets this morning. After she had gone, we were down to 2 and then shortly afterwards Rocky, now called Buddy, went off to his forever home which left Charlie all alone!! He had a play in the sand run. His kennel looked like a massacre had taken place when I opened up this morning - that happy, waggy tail had been bashed overnight and the walls were splattered with blood!!He is now sporting a very fetching purple bandage! This morning saw the sad return of Lucy - she had been a very good girl in the house but was not happy with the other resident Greyhound. We also welcomed Prince to Daybreaks - a gorgeous 2 year old big fella. As we had 3 residents we had a lovely afternoon walk in the Autumn sunshine. Prince was happy to be out exploring his new surroundings. Alert to everything, he was fascinated by the traffic and stood transfixed to watch the huge Emirates plane take off - I must confess it was a very impressive sight, but the look on his face was priceless!! The boys & girls are all tucked up for the night now and it will soon be time to head home and open that bottle of wine!! We have a few viewings booked across the weekend so keep fingers crossed that we have a few more red signs by Monday morning. Whatever you are doing this weekend, stay safe and enjoy. Cheers! Angie xx

Sadly Lucy has been returned, it is felt she would be better as an only dog as she was being grumpy with the other greyhound in the family.

Charlie gets my cuddle today as he's the one who hasn't been reserved out of the 3 newcomers. I'm sure it isn't because he's black but, anyone looking for a fantastic companion, don't overlook the black residents. I have 3 and they are beautiful with their gleaming coats and gorgeous eyes. Hopefully it'll be your turn this weekend Charlie. See you tomorrow. x

Simon & Kayla, we are heartbroken for you on the loss of beautiful little Nina. We remember your gorgeous girl (& you both) well from our Saturday morning training sessions. Having lost Rosie suddenly on 3rd August (she went for a wee in the garden & didn’t make it back in as she too broke her leg; the emergency X-ray revealed she had bone cancer, so we had to make the hardest decision ever and allow our fabulous first furbaby to run pain free over rainbow bridge). You are in our thoughts.... Tash, John & Brae xxx

Today I was greeted by a very friendly greyhound who wanted cuddles and attention. Little did I know that this was Charlie and I would be taking him for a walk in Sutton Park today. We were very lucky as it turned out a beautiful day to walk in Sutton Park. Charlie was not keen on getting into my car. Once he was in there has lay down and I did not hear him or she him. When we arrived at Sutton Park he was keen to jump out of the car. On the way back it was the same not keen but lay down and did not see or hear him, so he is a very good but reluctant traveller. We start the walk, you know it has been some time since I had such a relaxed walk, there was no pulling. He was walking in front and weaving left to right, easily solved by shortening the lead, and then he walks happily next to you. I am not sure if Charlie was still in shock about being at daybreaks but during the walk we met, cyclists, runners, toddlers non that fazed him. two things I did find interesting and curious. He had an interest and wanted to greet people. He was unsure and the canine language was almost I see you but I don’t want to know you. The defensive look away. He did this with a number of dogs. He is absolutely fine with other Greyhounds meets and greets them fine. Maybe it is just a case of not having seen many other dogs and just being standoffish. When we returned to the kennel we also did a cat test, I did say, if he behaves the same as with the dogs we met, he will pass with flying colours. This is what Charlie did, the cat was purring and rubbing against his legs. Not a problem, so that is a positive sign. Charlie, I think it is only your second day in the kennel and already done a great walk in the big world out there. It was a real pleasure and so easy to walk you with no pulling at all. You done brilliant, thank you for the walk and I hope to see re-homed on you very soon.

Can someone tell me what has happened please ,so I was quiet comfy at Deybreaks 5 Star Hotel , and then I got taken away , Luckily with Princess Jess,( I couldn't imagine doing this on my own) to this house then the car we were in broke down and a nice man came to fix it , then we came to this house with another greyhound called Cheeky monkey who knew everything about him , then we had a swimming pool downstairs for a day and then now the greyhound called cheeky monkey has gone , this is exactly why I have that bewildered look on my photo , I haven't got a clue what's going on , all I know is this black fizzy liquid tastes great as do pancakes , I know they are called pancakes because Jeff says "don't eat my pancakes" , I'm sure everything is fine but I just don't want to go anywhere else , Im quiet happy and I spotted Jeff looking in the Amazon yesterday for new beds for me and Princesss Jess , Yes that's right we are getting new beds from the biggest rainforest on the planet , I need a poo , excuse me

Carrie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Seriously this is my last post on Carries page , Unlike when any of my dogs have gone before because they have never gone so quick , I've been finding it hard to let that emotion out , The only way I can describe it is like when my other dogs have died before its been like a pan boiling over , Carrie seems to be a bit more like a pressure cooker feeling where it lets of a little bit at a time , anyway I was having a moment earlier and the puppies were settled on the bed , so I looked at Celia and Jess lying there , they looked so settled and cute and got up to give them a cuddle , Celia immediately jumped up on my desk , drank my Coke and ate my pancake and knocked the speaker off. I was walking to work on Sunday though and this tiny little feather fell from the sky right in front of my face. I've kept it and its going to be sealed in acrylic with some of Eves hair and forget me not flowers in the shape of a dog on the Moon on Friday Monkey , you were the most characterful and loving girl I've ever had the good fortune to be be and I still love you so much. Most dogs stop going out for a wee and wee in the house in the last Days or weeks but Carrie was totally the opposite , she started showing the puppies where to go for a wee ...outside. I even had a dream last night that she was alive , which somewhere she probably is. I love you Monkey and I will miss you so much , you knew so much about me in such a short time. Thank you for being with me Jeffrey xxx
