Hey everyone, it’s Jonny here (Bessie’s new adoptive daddy lol). Really pleased to report that Bessie has settled in incredibly well so far. She sleeps, walks, plays and interacts with other dogs / people just perfectly. We feel truly blessed to have such a sweet addition to our household. We will be sure to come back and visit in the coming weeks as I know Bessie will be missing all your fuss ????. Huge thank you to Jo, Ruth and everyone at Daybreaks for making this possible. X

Oh Lucy, I am so sorry things haven't worked out for you this time, maybe life would be easier for you in a quieter home, little ones can be a bit noisy, I know I have a 1yr old Granddaughter and when she visits one of my greys gets a bit freaked out, good luck finding a new home xxx

Sparky
Over the Rainbow Bridge
So very sad to hear Sparky has gone to Rainbow Bridge. Thinking of his family in France and Angie and Michael who fostered him for quite some time during his time at Daybreaks. He was such a great boy, we couldn't understand why it took him such a long time to find his forever home. However, his home was well worth waiting for. God Bless you Sparky! Xxx

Ah Lucy, so sorry things haven't worked out for you my lovely. I do sympathise with you, small people can be very noisy & busy and sometimes not what you need when you are trying to live a retired life!! So sad for your family, it must have been a very hard decision. Sending you a big cuddle tonight - keep smiling! xxx

Lucy

Very sadly Lucy has come back to the kennels today. Unfortunately she and the family's young daughter have not been doing so well together. Her family are distraught to have to return her, but feel they need to wait until their daughter is a little older to understand dogs. Lucy would be better suited to a family with older children as she is not always happy to be around smaller people! Her family say she is a fabulous girl and hope she finds the perfect home, they are so sad it can't be with them. So sorry for everyone it didn't work out this time. Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
What a lovely Autumn day that was. After a bit of a chilly start the sunshine was absolutely beautiful - meaning we had lovely morning & afternoon walks down the lane. Having said that it was a bit like Winnie the Pooh & the Blustery Day as we were blown up and down the lane, with the wind whooshing through the trees and leaves swirling everywhere!! It didn't bother the boys & girls though - Vic and his amazing ears were on high alert throughout both walks as he explored every inch of his new surroundings! He is a lovely boy, a bit strong on the lead at the moment, but then everything is new & exciting for him. It was lovely to see Ruth today, and the gorgeous Molly and Queeny who had spent the night with her. Molly is such a sweetheart, and she does the cute teeth chattering thing - but goodness me it is loud!! Queeny is a very friendly girl, and has gone out to a foster home this afternoon - here's hoping she is a good girl and gets her paws under the table!! Little Bessie Boo went off to her new home at lunchtime, wishing her and her new Mum & Dad many happy times ahead. I will miss her beautiful grey face. x With the change in the weather and the nights starting to get a bit chilly now, this morning I sorted through the fleece coats we use for the kennel dogs and did some loads of washing to freshen them up after a summer in storage! The lovely sunshine and stiff breeze meant they all dried beautifully and are now ready to keep our boys & girls snuggly overnight. I did try to sweep the leaves but it was a bit of a thankless task - every time I got a nice neat pile of leaves together, the wind blew and scattered them all over the place again, so in the end I gave up!! Well the weekend is here again, and with a viewing booked, keep your fingers crossed for our remaining residents! I will be raising a nice glass of red wine later in the hopes of a red or green sign or two come Monday morning! Whatever you are up to this weekend, stay safe. Cheers! Angie xx

Molly was much brighter today, she had a very waggy tail when we arrived this morning and was happy to come out of her kennel for her breaksfast. She got very excited and her teeth started to chatter! She is a delightful young lady. She has gone home with Ruth tonight. Xxx
