Nina
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Just an update, a sad one unfortunately! Our beautiful girl nina passed away on 25th September. The last few months of her life were a bit of a rollercoaster, back in May she chased a cat in the garden and her leg fractured causing her unbelievable pain. We took her to the vets straight away and after a couple of scary days where we thought we’d lost her, due to her having a undiagnosed bleeding disorder called ‘hyper fibrimolyosis’ they managed to repair her leg and she began the recovery process. After keeping her rested for 4 weeks she was recovering very well and was able to start walking again and was beginning to return to many of her normal things. By end of July we noticed a swelling at the location of her fracture and didn’t think much of it and just put it down to her injury. As a couple more weeks went by the swelling increased and in August we took her back to the vets. They looked very concerned as soon as they saw her, and an x-ray confirmed she had Osteosarcoma. Which the vet then explained she’d had a pathological fracture to her leg, it was already in its early stages when her bone broke it just wasn’t detectable on the x-ray. We decided to go down the palliative care route with her as the treatment options didn’t sound great, and she’d been through so much already we just wanted her to enjoy whatever time she had left. She enjoyed a few weeks of walks and treats and plenty of love until she started to decline, which is when we had to make the hardest decision we’ve ever made. She was put to sleep with us at home on her bed, in the best possible way it could have been on 25th September. It broke our hearts and couldn’t believe we were saying goodbye to our little Nina. She was like a ray of sunshine when she came into our lives, and has given us so many happy memories, she loved to play, loved her walks and runs in the fields, loved her sleep! She came on all our holidays with us and even welcomed our two children into her life and was so gentle and playful with them. We loved every second of having her. We miss her like mad. She was the best dog we could have ever wanted. We love you nina xx

It was my 6th Birthday yesterday and what an exciting day I had! I went to the beach, got a furry blanket for my bed in the lounge and a new SFF called Dora! Then I had a party with my friend Dave where we had sossiges and cup cakes - yum yum! Sending you all lots of lubs. Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!

First thing this morning, after Rocky went off to the vets Queenie was the only resident at the kennels. So we popped her in the back kitchen with my Skip for company. She was good for a while but obviously got bored with Skips conversation and decided to bark to come out. :)) She spent the rest of the day watching everything going on from the comfort of one of the beds in the kitchen run. :)) We had three lovely new arrivals, Timmy, Charlie and Chloe all really lovely dogs. Shirley and Gloria gave them a bath and this afternoon they enjoyed a walk along the lane with Jan and Gill. I'm sure it won't be long before they are all going off to their forever homes! :)) Richard and Declan were kept busy with jobs that needed doing including putting up a couple of gazebos...Richard then informed me that storm Barbara was due to arrive in the next day or so!! They also put up some new banners and gave the sand run a tidy. Shirley carried on with her quest to beat the duvets and blankets into submission and fit them all into one of the kennels! She did it! :)) There are always things that need doing at the kennels and we are so grateful to everyone who volunteers their time to help! Bless you. 🙂 Xxx

Richard and Shirley had the unenviable job of taking Rocky to the vet for his neutering operation this morning. Apparently he couldn't wait to get inside! Richard also very kindly collected Rocky this afternoon. He was quite lively when he came back and enjoyed his dinner. :)) All the staff at the vets fell head over heels for him! He really is such a lovely, happy friendly lad. Only three more sleeps and he will be going home! :)) We need to start calling him Buddy! :)) Xxx
