Oh no, what a shame ;-(. We met him the other day and he seems a lovely little chap. Fingers crossed his stay in kennels is a short one and he has his forever sofa very very soon!

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.
