Toby today paid his first visit to Elmdon Park. He really is very keen on the lead and prospective adopters should bear that in mind when planning his exercise. However as with many strong lads he is extremely affectionate towards everyone he meets. Also there were no problems with him meeting other breeds. A lovely natured boy who hopefully before too long will find the active home that will suit his character best.

Pan reminds me of my beloved Paddy in that he is a bit shy and slow putting himself forward to new people. I think that once he finds his forever home he will come out of his shell a bit more. I feel there is a lot of love and playfulness in him and he will settle down well given a chance. I just hope he doesn't get overlooked by prospective owners. Keeping my fingers crossed he will celebrate Christmas on a sofa with a new family xx

Pan is still waiting patiently for his forever home. Xxx He is a lovely boy, who can be a little shy meeting new people. He has settled well at the kennels and is a pleasure to look after. Xxx

I went to visit Daybreaks friends, Phil, Sylvia and their two beautiful Greyhounds Rio and Ella this morning. The reason for my visit was to collect donations for the kennels and home cooked meals for our Daybreaks boys and girls. :)) Phil had been up since around 4am busy cooking Full English Breakfasts, Fish and Chips, Spaghetti Bolognese and Christmas Dinners...10 of each, all packed up in individual boxes. :)) Xx They look great and I know they taste great as Rio and Ella have been chief tasters! :)) Included in 20 boxes of donations were several hundred tins of Sardines, jars of hot dogs sausages, tinned meat, Bonios and treats! Also included were lots of cleaning products and treats for volunteers too. Xx We are so grateful to Phil, Sylvia and to Phil's friends and work colleagues who sponsored him to do his mammoth cooking challenge! Xxx Hope he had a well earned rest this afternoon. Xx I took everything to the kennels, breakfasts are in the fridge ready for tomorrow morning. :)) The other meals in the freezer. Thanks to all at the kennels today for helping to unpack the boxes. 🙂 Xxx Thank you so much to everyone for all your help in so many different ways that keep Daybreaks Kennels open. Xxx xxx

I took Chick to Elmdon Park today and she was a pleasure to walk. She was ecstatic to see her lead and was excited to be leaded up, but walked calmly as soon as we were out of the kennels. She walked at a lovely pace at my side and enjoyed taking in the new smells. She met several dogs at the park and wasn't bothered by them at all. She met them politely without much interest. She has the softest fur and beautiful markings. I'm sure she'll make a great pet xx

It's been another busy week at the kennels. Sadly no Reservations for any of our lovely girls and boys but hopefully they will all soon find their forever homes. Xxx We are very grateful to Phil, Rio and Ella's Dad and his work colleagues for organising the BIG delivery of goodies we received today for the dogs and volunteers. Food for making casseroles, hotdogs for treats, Bonios, Dental sticks, tinned meat, cocktails sausages and a tub of Celebrations to name but a few!! Thank you all so very much. :))) Xxx We also had several visitors to drop off bedding and towels. Thank you. Xxx Josh had a lovely afternoon out with Seana and Fergal. He is such a sweet boy. He is so happy to go out for a walk and he is very partial to an Oatey crunch biscuit at bedtime. 🙂 Xxx Thanks so much to everyone who helped out with walks today, it was a little chilly....Xx We had a delivery of new cosy Fleeces. Beautiful foxy and galaxy designs. So if your looking for a Christmas present for your beloved four legged friend why not treat them to one! :)) We also have tickets available now for our Christmas Raffle. You can pop in and buy some from the kennels or call us on 0121 782 7702. Thank you. Xxx Don't forget our Christmas Party is only a few weeks away...it would be so nice to see everyone!! Xxx

Hi Monty, good to hear your update!

Lots of love Kate. Xxx

Hi everyone it’s been a while! The year goes too quickly…. So here’s an update for you all! Back in September the hoomans decided to leave me and go on a ship. HOW RUDE. Why couldn’t I come? Don’t get me wrong I loved my little trip away with my greyhound friends but I was abandoned. I did not appreciate it. I’ve since forgiven them though. They did buy me a new toy on their adventures so I can’t be too mad. These fireworks are horrible thank goodness the hooman got me some calming tablets from work. Holly the vet is greyt! As always I’m bossing the humans around. They have been late with my dinner recently and I’m not impressed. Monty xx
