Ruth, Lauren and I went in the sand run with Sam this afternoon. He had a little run around and gave a short chase to some of the toys. Tigger came in to have a play with him and he did have a run with her. He wasn't so keen on coming out of the run 🙂 Tig did her best to round him up! After a few minutes he allowed Ruth to take him gently by the collar and came out with no trouble. He does seem to like being around other dogs, especially when going on a walk. Maybe there is a Greyhound brother or sister out there who is looking for a gentle addition to their family? Xxx

What a contrast from yesterday when I opened up the kennels this morning. The gorgeous Sam, although still very wary, didn't back away and let me pop a slip lead on him to bring him out into the feeding run. Bless him, in true Greyhound fashion he trod in his poo!!! and needed his paws wiping before he could go back into his kennel and his nice clean bed. With a quiet, gentle approach he let Michael hold his head whilst I cleaned his paws and he was very good - no panting or straining to get away. I was as quick as I could be so we didn't overwhelm him too much, but Michael was delighted when Sam leaned on him before letting him lead him back to his kennel - and this morning was the first time Sam had met Michael. Well done Mr Sam - so very brave and already, after such a short time, gaining in confidence. We will take it at Sam's own pace, but I am certain that this beauty will be an amazing companion in the right home. You can tell he wants to be your friend - but is very unsure if he should!!! He has made progress already - well done handsome. You get my cuddle today - keep up the good work. xxxx

Boo Boo (Boo) used to be just the same it took ages for us to be able to give her cuddle. I just had to be patient and let her make her own mind up. Now she can’t wait for a good cuddle and loves to give kisses.

Oh Sam! You are stunningly handsome, tall and sleek with a gorgeous face. If only I had been able to give you a good hug today, if you had overcome your shyness. Perhaps another day. In the meantime, here's a big virtual cuddle to keep you safe and comfy all night long. Sleep tight, beautiful boy. xx

Lottie used to do exactly the same wag her tail but put her head down and look at you but not approach. Now on her awareness day fun raisers she wags her tail and goes over and leans on people!

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It's deja vu - but then there were 3!!!!! Handsome Rodney went off to his new home this morning, hotly pursued by the lovely, lively little Melody. Her new family had fallen in love with her after seeing her on Ruth's video yesterday and just had to make an appointment to come and see her today before she was snapped up! She worked her magic and trotted off to her new home, wishing everyone many happy times ahead. x It was a hot one today, so we had some paddling pool play time this morning with the remaining boys, and a gentle stroll around the sand run in the shade this afternoon. I must confess that I actually love having so few doggies - we can spend so much quality time with each individual, and this was so important today for the oh so nervous but stunning Sam. He is so scared at the moment bless him, but gradually working with him in short bursts today, he actually gave me a "lean" this afternoon before he went back to his kennel. I am glad that we have lots of time at the moment to give him to help him gain confidence and learn to relax. Linford is a gorgeous boy, he has a little stumpy tail that wags like mad and he does love a snuggle. He fell asleep with his head on Chris's foot this afternoon - trapping her in his kennel with him!! I am looking forward to partaking of a glass or two of nicely chilled white wine later on, and toasting our 2 boys that are not yet reserved and our new arrivals that are hopefully due over the weekend. The conveyor belt at Daybreaks is working well at the minute - the doggies are barely getting in before they are going out!! Long may it continue. Enjoy the weekend, lets hope this lovely weather holds. Stay safe one and all - cheers! Angie xx

So the electrician the other day ( who funnily enough came all the way from Solihull to Bromyard ) would have been very forgiven to think you were very nervous and butter wouldn't melt in your mouth, but it does melt, caramelize and fry sometimes and we both know it, just because no-one else can see it, just because no-one else understands you, doesn't mean it's not true and you still look absolutely amazing and gorgeous when you sit and wait outside the kitchen, One day I will have my phone with me to take a picture of you and then everyone will see exactly what I'm talking about but for now you are still a complete lunatic and I wouldn't want to imagine life without you

Thanks so much to Erik for taking Harry for a trip to Sutton Park today. It was good for him to have a break from the kennels. He will be going home soon and I am sure will be accompanying his new owner on lots of new adventures. :)) Xxx
