Flash
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I have yet to meet this little stunner, but having read in other comments that Flash is recovering from a broken hock, I just want to reassure potential adopters not to overlook this beauty. Flash's Grandad is our Brae's Dad; Brae suffered a broken hock during her racing life and we didn't think twice about fostering then adopting her. Yes Brae walks slightly differently to other greyhounds, but that's her 'trademark'. Brae's never let that injury hold her back and from the age of 5 when she chose us until now aged 11, she's still living life to the full, keeping up and often overtaking other furbabies she's walking with. Please, please, don't overlook Flash, if determination runs through her blood line, she'll have it in heaps. Biggest hugs gorgeous girl, Tash xxx

So confident around the house, it's almost like you Rule the world, everything I own I don't, its all yours my food is yours if I don't eat it fast enough, my toilet rolls are yours, my pajama trousers are something that I brought for you to chew on if I don't hide them, my wine is yours unless I pick up the glass and take it with me when I have a wee, and you are in charge and ruler of the world Until of course a builder comes in and you turn into a nervous gentle placid polite young lady who runs away and no one believes me that you are mad as a bag of frogs and I'm the one that looks crazy for saying that you are, Jess was properly up there with feet on shoulders giving a big hug to the lads and yet she's so placid and shy normally, but nothing makes sense anymore anyway .... Best thing is though You so know that outside is for weeing and you look so amazing when you do wee ,you just put on that funny face thats so cute does anyone else absoultely love watching there girls have a wee or am I just strange ?

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
You never know what a day will bring. Sadly a call this morning that Polly was becoming too strong on the lead and her owner felt she was too difficult to walk, cats seemed to be a big problem, and she felt the best thing for Polly was to come back to Daybreaks and find a home that could accommodate her needs.....Well this afternoon a lovely couple came in, and whilst initially they fell for Flash, they really liked Polly. They took her around the sand run and sensibly went away to chat about whether she was the right girl for them. A call after I got home said yes! They have reserved her. Sam had a visit this morning too. Another lovely couple with 2 older greys (sorry kids, their words not mine, 8 and 9 is not old)! Sam got on really well with them and so off he went, so sad to see him go, but also so glad. I called Rosie who had kindly fostered him to let her know he had gone home before I updated the website. Thanks to her and Paul he had turned a corner and is less nervous. Mixed emotions as they really feel in love with him (as did most people) but they couldn't go up to 4 and I wasn't going up to 6! It was very warm this afternoon, so with only 3 dogs in the kennels they had some fun in the sand run, apart from little Flash, who had a gentle stroll due to recovering from a broken hock. She is beautiful but still very nervous, I spent some time with her in her kennel, I think as she gets to know and trust you she will be a fantastic little companion. We will hopefully have 2 new arrivals tomorrow. Can't wait to meet them on Wednesday if they are still there!!! Take care all, tomorrow promises to be another hot day, keep those hounds cool. Jo x

Sad to hear Polly has been returned today but so happy to hear she has also been reserved today!! I'm sure with a little help her exuberance on the lead can be sorted. :)) Xxx

Looked an hour ago and you were still looking for a home. Now it says you're rehomed. That was quick work. Must be because of how lovely you look in the paddling pool and Rosie's glowing reference. Good luck in your forever home. x

That's such a shame, Polly, for you and your owner as I know how excited she was to take you home. Sounds like you'd benefit from someone stronger and/or someone able to do some lead training. You're such a sweet girl and it sounds like you've been great in the home so I'm sure your forever home is just around the corner. See you next Sunday if you're still there. x
