It was great to see Padre officially homed today! 🙂 So happy for him. I took his homing photo in the office as it was pouring with rain when he and his family were ready to go home. 🙂 Wishing him and his Greyhound bother Tigger lots of great times together. Xxx

My hoomans are not doing my food on time! I ask for it and they say no and say I’m too early!? How it’s my feeding time my stomach is empty and I need food! Apparently they said the clocks went back and I still think it’s the same time! No clue what they are on about. I’ll just follow you around and bark at you until you do it. Yeah that will work.

Scooby
I’m Homed
Scooby is a lovely hound and has settled in nicely. He has explored every inch of the house downstairs and the garden and can be seen to be learning everything as he walks around. He likes the kitchen, loves his food and after some pacing around does lie down peacefully. Perfect overnight; enjoying his sleep. He’s a big and young, and behaves so well both at home and when out on walks. Let’s see what he can learn during Saturday morning training……

Dave and I had temporary day release this morning to go on a delivery and collection mission! On arriving back at the Kennels it was the next challenge to build a cot (note to anyone who is expecting, start building your cot now, its more involved than you may think, Krypton Factor sprung to mind, Chris and myself are obviously out of practice)!! I managed to catch up with most of our foster families this afternoon, great news is that things are going really well. Thanks to all of you for opening your hearts and homes to our residents during this difficult time. X We missed Angie today, but needs must and she needs to stay safe especially with Mike's health concerns. Well, I'm back in on Sunday and already have set a mental list of tasks to do whilst we have the time to do so. Take care, stay safe and remember if you need anything from the Kennels please give us a call and book an appointment. X

Happy 3rd Gotcha day to Shandy, Can’t believe we have had her 3years already feels like yesterday she came home with us......her recent new found skill is how to get me off my chair so that she can have it and get comfy:-), oh and this year she has decided she doesn’t care about fireworks anymore haha.....she’s still enjoying lovely walks and playing fetch in the garden (her catching skills are brilliant)......We wouldn’t be without her and she is happily munching on a pigs ear in front of the fire to celebrate.....Shandy said she would prefer an ostrich bone and isn’t happy we haven’t got her one yet!!! Well done to everyone for their fabulous work at daybreaks and to everyone that has homed a Grey-we are looking forward to Tiggys fundraising christmas online auction.

It felt very strange not being at the kennels today - but with no residents to look after and a core of great volunteers who are keeping everything else under control, I have taken the decision to stay at home now during lockdown. With Michael being in the extremely clinically vulnerable group, we don't want to take any unnecessary risks - but I am not being idle! I have been chatting with Miss Tiggy and we are now ready to launch her fundraising Christmas online auction!! We have lots of really great items that will make lovely presents for the 2 and 4 legged folk in your lives! We have brought the starting date forward a bit to the 20th November to make sure everyone gets chance to have a look and a bid! Hope everyone is staying safe, and managing during this very difficult time for us all. I will be raising my usual glass later - this time to all our boys & girls out in foster homes, sending their foster families many thanks for taking care of them and hoping that maybe one or two will get their paws under the table and just might not return to kennels when lockdown is over!! Angie xxx

Such a great day! I sent Jo and Dave on a 'drop off and collect' mission this morning whilst I stayed in the office and attacked the paperwork mountain. Chris arrived and fed the chickens and cats and then by this time Jo and Dave were back and they set to work building two wooden cots that had been donated for us to sell to raise funds. It is quite strange not having any residents on site but Jo was set the task of giving all our wonderful foster families a call this afternoon and hopefully our Daybreaks kids are enjoying themselves! We have a busier day tomorrow with food collections and nail clipping so if you want to book, we are doing spaced appointments and adhering to COVID guidelines. I have just finalised the calendars (yayyyy) and these should be available from early next week - we will keep you posted. Stay safe everyone x

Far too long a story but his ( or her) Name is Hedgy and this is a page about Greyhounds but Im sure when greyhounds meet Hedgy the tortoise sometime in the next few years , it will be a story to tell ( why the hell cant I just call it IT) that's because he or she has life and soul and is now part of our life , But Celia and Jess need to age and mellow a bit and Hedgy needs to get a bit bigger so they don't think he( or she) is a crunchy snack , I Cant wait to introduce them though and I think even in 12 months time , Knowing Celia she will still freak out and run away despite being so confident around pancakes and Coca Cola , the three of us are off to bed now without tortoise who's quiet happy in his or her bed under some rocks , we have a 13 tog quilt and the heating on, Thats enough Jeffrey , this is supposed to be about Greyhounds so stop it go to bed and wake up with teethmarks on your head and a stiff neck because you have a greyhound contorting your sleep position just as you always like it and you know you wouldn't want it any other way so don't pretend you do

A lovely Autumn day.... a good day for cleaning! 🙂 Thanks so much to Yvonne and Shirley for all their hard work around the kennels. Xx Thanks to Alan and Declan for going on a trip to the Warehouse. If you need food, we have plenty in stock. Just call us at the kennels to arrange a day and time to collect. 🙂 Skip is getting used to wandering around the kennels and doing just as he pleases, but I think like us he misses seeing other Greyhounds around...hoping it won't be long before we hear the patter of lovely Greyhound paws in the kennels again. :))) Xxx

Oh girls, how exciting to have a new "dog" in the family! :)) Sure you two could come up with a suitable name for him or her!! Good luck with the decorating! :))) Xxx

Well the new Dog came today in a box ??? , I've not met him yet , and Dad was a bit distracted for a while in the kitchen so because he had left the door open on the cupboard where he keeps his paint and tools and stuff and knowing that upstairs needs redecorating too, Jess and I thought we would help him out by carrying tins of paint and screwdrivers and the tape measure , Oh and some wood filler as well , upstairs and placing it gently on the landing whilst he was setting up his new dogs home , we just thought it would make him happy that we were helping out.. Well Dad wasn't happy , all he could say was that we were all lucky the lid didn't come off the paint , bet if the new dog did it he wouldn't mind , but, No, I'm not jealous , anyway Dad just set him up and left him alone so he's back with us now which is good and he says he's not sure if the new dog is a male or female which is also a bit weird, but he thinks he might be a bloke so for now he is naming the new dog "Tortoise" , which seems a strange name for a dog to me but then I'm not as clever as Dad ( I'm much Cleverer ha ha) Love you all loads Celia , Jess and errrm Tortoise xx
