It was a very wet and blustery morning! We didn't think our residents would thank us for sending them out in the rain! Dave got beds out and they all had a break from their kennels and watched the rain from the shelter of the small runs. It was completely different afternoon, sunny and quite warm. Thanks so much to Gloria, Jan and Gill for taking everyone out. :)) Gorgeous Morris came in for a pamper with Jess. It was lovely to see him and his Mom and Dad. 🙂 Xx It was a very busy morning with lots of nail clipping and donations of bedding, for which we are very grateful. 🙂 Handsome Ronnie found himself Reserved! Fabulous news. Xxx Ruth, Jess, Gloria and I were all kept busy filling out raffle tickets! The response has been fantastic. :)) I hope the draw went ok tonight. :)) I am jealous of whoever won Shirley's lovely hand knitted blanket! Xx Xxx

She is a beautiful girl. We thought she looked a lot like Flo so looked up her history expecting to see Flo's relatives & had such a shock. She's related to Nifty!!

Beautifulgreys - I'm so sorry for your loss. Granite is a bundle of fun. Just like my Nadie - they're sort of related. She's very lucky and kissy. There would be no time to feel sad. No harm giving the kennels a ring. We're not there today, but Lady Kate is and plenty of volunteers. We're there with Jo tomorrow. x

Daybreaks Diary!

A lovely Autumn day today, we even had some watery sunshine so both morning & afternoon walks were enjoyed by doggies and volunteers alike! I met all our new arrivals, and they are all beautiful - but I have developed a soft spot for Penny already. Such a quiet girl, she stands beautifully still while you pop on her lead, muzzle and tracker and then walks like a dream on her lead. She is fairly big for a girl, but so lovely and her coat is sooo fluffy!! Prince's fascination with traffic continues! This afternoon as we walked down alongside the A45, he spotted something and started to jump up & down and give very non-manly high pitched yips!! We looked in the direction he was looking, and can only assume he had spotted the flashing light on top of a vehicle moving along the Airport perimeter road!! Bless him he is such a character. New boys Ronnie & Eagle are doing well and like being out exploring - Eagle is still a little wary but has come on really well. As the cute little Granite is post-op, she couldn't join her pals on their walks and looked on from the feeding run as we all went through the gate! Lorna was kept busy with pampers during the morning, and we had several visitors for the sand run. The transformation of the kennels continues and the back area is looking amazing. Don't forget our postponed 14th Birthday Grand Raffle is drawn tomorrow - you can still buy tickets from the online shop or by calling the kennels. And a date for your diary is 25th November - that's when Tiggy's Tinseltime Auction will commence online on her Facebook fundraising page. She's getting together lots of lovely present ideas for 2 & 4 legs so she can raise funds to help all her pals at Daybreaks. Well incredibly the weekend is here again - the diary looks fairly busy with appointments so keep fingers crossed and raise a glass with me for some red or green signs by Monday morning! Happy weekend one and all - cheers! Angie xx

Lots of tidying and sorting going on today! 🙂 We had several donations of raffle prizes, bedding and goodies for our residents. I helped Shirley with her bedding store, its very well orgsnised! Ruth and Tina were busy sorting all the items donated for Tiggy's Facebook page and the reorganisation of the back treatment room. Aided by Richard! Alan and Declan had a trip to Pets at Home. 🙂 It was a drizzly day but the dogs enjoyed their walks. Our latest arrivals Eagle and Ronnie are settling well. 🙂 Thanks to everyone for their help today. :)) Xxx

Granite had her neutering operation today. Thanks so much to Richard for taking her and Rosie for picking her up this afternoon. She has gone home with Ruth tonight. :)) She is the most gorgeous girl, a little ray of sunshine...I tried desperately to convince John we should take her home but he was very sensible and said "No!" :)) Xxx

Celia as you are the sensible one I think you should take charge and take great care of your Dad. I'm sure Jess will help too. Just make sure he knows how much you both love him and how much you need him. You are his very special girls. Xxx
