Flash
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I agree 100%with Alan that Flash will be far happier in a home where there are other dogs. She was very nervous when exposed to A45 traffic this morning but gained reassurance when we walked her in the middle of the group.She enjoyed the walk in the fields down the lane and the attention of Linford who had definitely taken a strong liking to her. A nervous girl who hopefully will become more confident in a dog loving home

Rosie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
RIP Rosie 24th June 2008 - 3rd August 2020....... Our cheeky, intelligent, fearless, fast, greedy!, loving, loyal, inquisitive, fabulous big fursis (to Brae), beautiful black beauty Rosie, gained her wings on Monday afternoon. She'd limped several times over the past 2 months when getting up from a lying position and didn't like me washing her right front paw after a walk. Aged 12, we suspected arthritis had caught up with our baby so gave her daily massages and added YuMove to her after dinner yoghurt each day. Never thinking for one moment what was really 'going on'. Having eaten lunch on Monday, she took herself into the garden for a wee but didn't make it back in; her leg broke on the patio, the screaming was horrendous and will haunt me for a long time. We managed somehow to carry Rosie to the car, she was propped up leaning on her Dad and we drove the two minutes (which felt much longer) journey to the vet. "Legs don't just break" he told us, "you need to prepare yourselves"... 30 minutes later, an emergency x-ray revealed our beauty had bone cancer in her leg. With hearts feeling like they'd been ripped out and tossed to one side, we were given 'options' (none of them to keep our baby forever) and knew that in our darkest moment we had to make the kindest choice for Rosie. Due to Covid we couldn't enter the vet surgery however, he did carry our baby back out to us into the doorway of the waiting room where we were able to hold her and share everlasting cuddles, kisses, hugs and messages of a 'safe onward journey beautiful girl'. When we signed the adoption paperwork 6.5 years ago, I didn't read the small print saying that Rosie was 'only on loan'. It wouldn't have made any difference as those years have been the most wonderful, emotional, eventful, happy, sad and most importantly loving years we could have asked for. Until we meet again over that Rainbow Bridge, stay safe, run pain free, be the brightest star in the sky, pinch treats and carry on being cheeky Rosie. With everlasting love, Mom, Dad & Brae xxx

Flash
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Flash...Ahhhh...saviour of the universe! Well not quiet but this lovely Flash came along with Lucy this morning and she is a little unsure of her surroundings at the moment and wonders whats going on. I told her not to worry as she will be loved and cared for at Daybreaks while she waits for her forever home. Having got back to Daybreaks Flash did start to come out of her shell a little, I'm sure there is a happy little girl in there trying to come out and play. It will be nice to watch her settle into kennel routine and begin to flourish. I hope a nice comfy sofa is just around the corner for her. Perhaps a home with a confident dog will help her too xx

Lucy
I’m Homed
I had the pleasure of collecting this little lady earlier today and wow what an absolutely adorable little stunner. I was immediately smitten by her kisses and happy personality. On my way back in the trust van I had the window down as it was warm and Lucy had her little nose on my shoulder all the way back to Daybreaks. I will be amazed if her stay at Daybreaks lasts more than a day or two,she's so nice. I love all our dogs but occasionally one comes along that's a bit special and Lucy is one such dog. She will make someone a super fun loving pet xx

Sam was playing with me this morning!! So happy :)))) He is so pleased to see me when I come downstairs (we have to move anything that might get swished off the coffee table with his windmilling tail!!) and then he was play bowing and did a couple of fast circles with his bum tucked in. He’s having to go back to the kennels tomorrow so please someone take this gorgeous boy home and develop the wonderful relationship that is waiting. He loves people once he has the confidence and will be really loyal and such fun Xxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Another busy day...thanks to everyone for their help Bookings for nail cutting, one of which was little Daisy who had her very own 18 day adventure recently when she got startled and escaped. She looks fantastic and her confidence has really come on, certainly not the shy timid girl that I remember from the kennels. We had two new arrivals, little girls Flash and Lucy. They are So sweet. Noddy had a viewing and Liz_Beth got her wish, off he went to his new home, they loved the write up about his visit to the park with her yesterday. He was quickly followed by Mae. Both have lovely homes and we are just waiting to see what their owners will change their names to, if they do! The sand run is available for bookings, so please just give us a call. If you do want to visit the kennels we are still running an appointment system, please call ahead. Looks like another busy day tomorrow with viewings booked, fingers crossed for more furever homes for our lovely residents. Xx

Met this friendly boy briefly today. He came to the front of his kennel to say hello with his little tail wagging I thought to myself there would no problem in a house with that tail knocking things off the coffee table!! But you would still know how happy is to see you. Hoping someone special spots his potential soon huge cuddles for him xxxx

Gorgeous Noddy came with me to Elmdon Park today. He is such a handsome boy. He bounced out of his kennel and was very happy to be going for a walk. He walks very well and enjoys taking in all the new sights and sounds. I did wonder at one point though if I had actually got a dressage horse at the end of the lead as he was positively prancing along! He was a pleasure to be with. Hoping that he finds his forever sofa very soon xx

I was greeted by a very happy Linford-Bob tail this morning. :)) As he only has a very short tail the whole of his bottom "wags" to greet you! He is great and gets my cuddle tonight! 🙂 Xxx
