Raven

I brought Raven home with me last night as she has been getting stressed in the kennels. I cannot believe how chilled out this little lass is! She has gone calmly up our stairs and toileted outside. She is not too keen on Tiggy bouncing about and has told her off a few times! She has a viewing today and I am keeping everything crossed for her x

Hey Auntie Kate, mom tells me that story all the time, says she knew I was hers and when you called to say I’d got a home she said ‘look forward to hearing from you soon’ because she knew I’d come back to her and I did, just a few days later. I don’t remember though! She wants to help Molly but TC is resisting. She’ll keep trying though, she thinks we all deserve good homes. Hoping you are well and I wish I could see you but this Covid squiggle hasn’t come by me so I can’t take care of him! Lubs you Florence xxx

Raven has gone home with Denise again this evening. I understand she had a good night last night and coped with going up and down the stairs. 🙂 Xxx

Lovely little Molly went out for morning and afternoon walks today. She quite happily trotted off with Diane this morning. She is very timid but very affectionate. She has the most beautiful eyes. Xxx

Another beautiful day...according to the BBC weather app the last nice day for a while. 🙁 We made the most of it. The dogs all enjoyed their walks and then sat in the runs for a while until it got too warm! We had a Stefi a previous Daybreaks resident stay with us for the afternoon. Very sadly his owner's husband passed away recently. We looked after Stefi while his family attended the funeral. Stefi is such a lovely friendly lad. He was quite anxious to be away from his home; many thanks to Helen who spent most of the afternoon sitting with him and keeping him company. He was so very happy when his Mom came to collect him. Thinking of all the family at this sad time. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!

DONATION OF ITEMS FOR DAYBREAKS “HONESTY BOX” CHARITY SHOP I am so incredibly grateful to everybody that has kindly donated general items for us to sell in the onsite shop at the kennels. However, space is at an absolute premium now, as we have had to accommodate the contents of our Swan offices since having to move out from them in July. With the continuing Covid-19 restrictions meaning we cannot have regular fundraising events, and the footfall through the kennels being greatly reduced, we find ourselves completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of general items and I have made the hard decision to suspend donations for a short while to enable us to sort through what we already have and make sure the Honesty Box and its annexe are well stocked with good saleable items. It will also give us the opportunity to research and source alternative outlets to help us raise the vital funds we need. During this difficult time for us all, I would like to thank everyone for their understanding and continuing support – we are looking forward to a time when things have eased and have returned to “normal” and we will then be grateful for all donations as we kickstart our face to face fundraising again and are in a position to invite you all back to Daybreaks. Thankyou once again, and please keep an eye on the website for updates and an announcement of when we will be in a position to start accepting items again. I am truly grateful - Ruth xx

Skip had the holiday blues today. He came to the kennels with me but was very unsettled and out of sorts. Think he would rather have been back at the beach! Lyra didnt want to come at all!! They love going away and doing something different just the same as we do. 🙂 Xx It was great to see Ruth this morning looking much better 🙂 She has bought a lovely wooden cart for all the natural treats we stock at the kennels. It is outside of the office which makes it much easier for visitors to make purchases and abide by the social distancing rules that are required at present. 🙂 Brilliant to hear the on-line auction has gone so well. I spoke to a lovely lady this afternoon who had spent more than she intended to but enjoyed herself! :)) x Xxx

Another change of plan! Molly stayed at Daybreaks as she was settled in her kennel this afternoon. Denise took Raven home instead as she was quite stressed and in need of some extra tlc. Xxx
