Jack

We are so grateful to Erik and his family for inviting Jack into their home the last week. He has certainly experienced life in the big wide world! 🙂 We are hoping the viewing for him tomorrow will go well and everything he has learnt with Erik will stay with him for the future. Xxx

Our wonderful Jasper went home today!...I did take several homing photos of the whole family but had a few technical problems (operator eror!) so only have his last shot in the car at the moment. Xx It wasn't the same locking up tonight without Jasper and I shall miss his waggy bottom and cute little tail. :)) He has found himself a fantastic family who I know will love him so much. Wishing you all lots of happy times together. Xxx

Jack
I’m Homed
Today is Jacks last full day with us, tomorrow he is going back to the kennel to meet a prospect mum and dad, fingers, legs, arms, and toes crossed for him. The start of the morning is the standard routine, we get up, take the dogs for their morning wee. I have my much-needed coffee and then we have our walk. After the walk, they have their normal 45-minute wait for food. Jack is still eating if his life depends on it, quite normal behaviour after live in a kennel. In the afternoon we went to Bosworth Water Park. It is a nice relaxing walk for Charlotte and Jack. As we always do walk halfway around the water park and then have a pick nick. Jack behaved like a gentleman, he did not pester much for food, which is great. He also had a good look at some really big fish. Whilst my daughter was playing in the play area we relaxed in the car. We shared a little bit of ice-cream which you seem to enjoy. When we returned Jack and Charlotte were both tired and were sleeping the rest of the afternoon. We had a little walk in the evening as they were tired already and seemed uncomfortable on your left paw. Your paw and pads seem fine, so not sure why. Their dinner time is becoming a routine for Jack now. He knows where his bowl is and rushes to it, so all great. Jack it has been great having you with us. I feel you have done brilliantly during the last week. I am so pleased to see you grow in confidence. You walk so much better compared to my first walk with you, in so many different ways. We will miss, having you around but, it is now time for you to find your forever home. You will make a great companion dog as you enjoy just being around people relaxing.

Oh Jasper I am so very happy to see you go off to your forever home. I hope you have so much fun, it will be scary at first as it's all new and strange, but be brave, learn lots and enjoy your retirement. xx

Jack had a nice relaxed Sunday. When he went downstairs I took him outside straight away. He had a number of wees and a poo. We soon went for a walk and did an other walk along the canal. Was very pleasant and both Jack and Charlotte were sniffing constantly so it took a bit of time. I had to get the car cleaned but decided to leave Jack home with my wife and Charlotte. A car wash may just be a bit to stressful for Jack. My daughter and I were away for a couple of hours. When we returned my wife told me that Jack had been singing beautiful songs even though Charlotte and My wife were home. It just shows that Jack needs training to be left alone as there are no specific triggers I could identify which make him sing. The afternoon was relaxed we stayed home and only went out for a evening walk. Again this was very relaxed took a different route along the canal. It was greatly enjoyed. We came across a Akita cross. We also come across a mastiff and Jack was fine with both no reactions He did find people playing football interesting. The evening meal come and went with no issues. Jack has made great progress this week. He has gone from a kennel dog to a well behaved pet very quickly. When he first arrived he had wee and poo issues, being a bit nervous, not sure home to behave with our old girl and singing now and then. Today, Jack is a dog who will ask himself to go out (we also recognise the signals), touch wood no accidents today. Who is calm, responds well to instructions, likes his comforts and is confident enough to take himself away if he wants peace and quite from a four year old. Jack appears to respond very well to positive re-enforcement, ignore unwanted behaviour and really praise wanted behaviour. Jack you done brilliant the last week, made some much progress absolutely brilliant well done!!!

Yardy has been with us for a few weeks now and so far, very sadly no one has offered him a home. 🙁 He is a wonderful, happy soul waiting for someone to love him and give him the chance to love them too. He will brighten up every day and make you smile. 🙂 Xxx He does need a little help understanding the big wide world but he is a smart lad and in the right home will soon learn the right way to do things. Xxx He is very good looking too! I have a soft spot for the white and black lads and lasses...Xxx Hoping his dreams will soon come true. Xxx

Jack
I’m Homed
Today a nice day with some activity in the late morning and early afternoon. Jack was up nice and early. We went straight outside and he did to wee’s there. Even though he did those, he still had a wee inside. As mentioned, he needs to be neutered. We had a nice walk today; we are all getting used to one another so Jack walks really nicely with Charlotte. When Charlotte is sniffing in a place, he rushes there to join in just in case there is something good to smell there. The rest of the morning he relaxed, my daughter was quite exuberant today, but he did not flinch and just ignored it. Today our school trip took us to Ventura park. There we had some walks. We met a toddler who wanted to greet our doggies. It was a good example how it should not be. The child was jumping up and down and making lots of noise right Infront of the faces of Jack and Charlotte. In doggie language that is a show of aggression and with the wrong dog that could end up in disaster. The parents were sensible enough and took the toddler away. It also shows how good both Jack and Charlotte are, they did not react at all. There was another trip to Pets at home, we had a nice walk through the shop and also bought some food and treats. We had a walk around Ventura park. It was rather busy there today and Jack met a puppy Golden Retriever Jack had a good sniff again very well behaved. After we returned, we relaxed Jack could not settle but when my wife covered him with a blanket he relaxed. My wife thinks he likes his comforts. The evening was very relaxed. Jack and Charlotte had another walk this turned out to be quite wet. They both patiently waited for their turn to have food. After Jack had his dinner, I have learned to take Jack out in the garden to avoid him having accidents in the house. Jack did a very gentleman like telling off, of Charlotte. I heard a very soft growl and saw that Charlotte was lying on Jacks bedding. I removed Charlotte from Jacks place so he could lie down. Fair play to Jack After I have observed Jack for the last five days, I have changed my mind whether Jack will do better in a pack. Jack and Charlotte do not lay close to each other up stairs or in the dining room. Jack is quite content to go upstairs and lay down there to relax. I think what Jack wants and needs is someone to be around, human or canine. I do not belief he will be fussed who it is he simply want company.

Hi Ruth, cannot thank you enough for trusting us with Jorden, yes agree that first introduced had some of us concerned, but honestly he is absolutely the best, he has settled in so so well our terrier Bert is so in love with him, since losing our lovely boy Joe a few weeks ago which again came from Daybreaks, Bert along with the rest of the family have been missing him so much, but Jorden has made that very large empty hole becoming more bearable, will keep you updated thanks again Ruth and your amazing team at Daybreaks xx

I shall miss you at home Flash. You settled in well over the 5 days you were with us and your cheekiness was starting to show itself. I think once you have your paws under the table in your new home and your confidence has built up, you’ll be very playful. Have a wonderful life with your new family xxx
