Rocky

Absolute fantastic news on Rocky. I'm so happy he is settling in well, I knew he would. He will be spoilt rotten Christmas no doubt... He deserved to be in the calendar to be a face of Daybreaks and what he did for us and what we did for him. As a blast from the past here is couple of videos on Rocky from sometime ago: https://youtu.be/TEy-y1ky1x8 https://youtube.com/shorts/yjssupVdAj8

Rocky came in to see us today. He looks fabulous and is a very happy boy! He is the very handsome Mr September in next year's calendar, so his family had to get a couple! :)) They say he is settling very well with them and he already has several Christmas presents waiting for him to open! :)) Thank you so much for giving him a wonderful home.

Joshy spent the day in the office today. The heater was on and he was very warm and cosy. Xxx We had a lot of visitors and he was a perfect gentleman with everyone he met. 🙂 He ate his breakfast and his dinner and enjoyed his lunchtime treats. Xx On the top of his Christmas list for Santa is a very, very special home. He is a very, very special boy. Xxx xxx

Monty

Collected Monty today and took him to Brueton Park. He was a little unsure where he was going as we hadn't taken him out before and had to be lifted into the car and out at the park. Once there he took us for a lovely walk! He wanted to have a look everywhere and just wanted to play with other dogs. He was not fazed by people or children. He is a beautiful boy, very loving with bundles of energy. Looking forward to taking him out again soon xx

Happy 6th Gotcha Day Nifty. We cannot believe it's been 6 years since we bought you home. We are so grateful to both Kate & Ruth for allowing us to have Nifty. Nifty was a longstayer at Daybreaks after spending 7 months waiting for a home. Niftys Gotcha Day wish is for all those residents at Daybreaks get their forever homes soon

We had to resort to the trusty can of Halfords lock de-icer to get into the kennels this morning!!! Lordy it was fffreezing, but the boys & girls were all toasty and warm in their cosy kennels. They all got my Gold Star clean kennel award today as well - thank you kids, made my life much easier! My heart still aches for Josh - he does not like being in his kennel and will not go back in once you have brought him out for his first wee. We popped him in the doggy kitchen this morning, where sadly he had another chew at the door once we were out of sight. I think everyone's Christmas wish is for this soul to find his very own home soon. xx The kennels is starting to look festive ahead of tomorrow's visit from Santa. There will be stalls both inside the kennels and out in the sand run, so plenty of opportunity for us to relieve you of your cash, lol!!! Stay safe and warm everyone - and hope to see some of you tomorrow. Angie xx

Oh Josh darling, I am so upset. You were such a good boy when at mine and with Fergal. I dont know if something has gone wrong or the lady has had a change of heart. You are always welcome here but with you being a bit destructive on your kennel returns I know it isn't suitable to help you just part time in terms of house visits. You are still welcome here for Xmas but it will be the same problem when you return. I will keep praying for someone to give you the commitment you deserve. I cant bear the thought of you spending the rest of your life in kennels. Come on DB followers & volunteers....where ever you live....there must surely be an experienced dog person or couple who have a child free, animal free house.....please, please.....this boy is lovely, well mannered & just wants his own sofa.

It has been sooooo cold today! Grateful thanks to Michael and our 3 work experience for keeping things running whilst I dealt with non stop phone calls, along with corns and nails and sorting donations brought in and our influx of post. Thank you also to Elizabeth who took Josh to the park today. he is very sad back in kennels and despite letting him spend time in the kitchen today rather than his kennel, he chewed all the stable door 🙁 All we need is a quiet home where he can be on his own and this would be a dream for us........ Thank you to everyone who is sending in raffle tickets and donations - I really appreciate it. I am especially grateful for the very kind donations in memory of Ruby to help towards the cost of her scan. We will be hanging a memory tag in remembrance of her and will remember her especially tomorrow on what would have been her birthday. I am still at the kennels as my car wouldn't start and I am still waiting for the breakdown service so a much needed glass of wine and probably a chinese takeaway is on the menu tonight!

Over the Rainbow Bridge
By the edge of a wood, at the foot of a hill, in a lush green meadow where time stands still, Where the friends of men and women do run, when their time on earth is done, For here between this world and the next is a place where all beloved creatures find rest. On this golden land they wait and play, till the rainbow bridge they will cross one day, no more do they suffer in pain or sadness, for here they are whole. Their lives filled with gladness, their limbs are restored, their health renewed, their bodies have healed with health imbued. They romp through the grass without even a care, until the day they stop and stare. All ears prick forward, eyes sharp and alert, then all of a sudden one breaks from the pack. For just at that second their eyes have met, as they see each other, both person and pet, they run to each other these friends from long past, the time of their parting is over at last. The sadness they felt whilst they were apart has turned to joy for both in each heart. They embrace with a love that will last forever, then side by side they cross over together. Like everyone else I am just gutted to learn you have gone. You were so sad when I gave you a cuddle the other week....it is clear you have been unwell without any obvious signs, for probably quite a while. Life is so cruel and I feel the depth of sadness that your parents must be feeling but I am glad you did at least get the chance of a nice home and I am just so very sorry the last weeks have been unsettled for you. Rest in peace lovely girl. I hope you find my Melly and Teddy. They will be just the right tonic you need until those that love you can join you. Love Seana and Fergal xxxx
