Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
10 weeks on...Greetings from Paddy xxx Well I’ve been enjoying my retirement in my forever home, I have two brothers who give me lots of fuss and I get at least 3 walks everyday. They’ve even created a new verb or my tail, ‘paddy-whacking’ and I am very proud of my strong wagging tail and I use it to great effect. My Dad gives me bones to help clean my teeth but he doesn’t like it when I sneak them into my bed and bury them! The last eight weeks have been rather odd because I am no longer walking to the office everyday, instead everyone is staying at home so I have been getting lots of attention and I have even started grazing on my food, now I know that none of my pack will try and eat it too. Recently I have been growing a new coat and shedding my fluffy undercoat and it’s been great, I get a proper brushing every single day, then I get to bark at the birds in my garden who fly down to gather my fur, brilliant fun. However, there is one creature who definitely not welcome, I am told he’s called Squirrel, he runs along the fence (just out of my reach) and into the tree where he sits and taunts me, even barking doesn’t seem to budge him, grrrr! One day he might slip 😉 Best wishes to all my friends at Daybreaks xxxx

Yesterday the gorgeous Buster was returned to our care as his owner is unwell. I can’t believe how golden he has been. Not bothered with our chicken, good around food and slept downstairs last night on his own. We tried to help him do stairs but he preferred being downstairs. He has been clean and he is very affectionate. If I had a quieter life I’d be seriously tempted as he ticks all my boxes... black, leggy and absolutely soulfully beautiful. If you have adopted from Daybreaks before and you are interested please call me (don’t message as I won’t look at Facebook throughout the day) on 01217827702. I am doing WhatsApp home visits but would prefer to rehome during the current lockdown to someone who has previously adopted from Daybreaks. I hope you understand x

Buster arrived back into the care of Daybreaks this evening as sadly his owner can no longer look after him. He is staying with us and has settled in really well so far. He is just absolutely gorgeous x

Sorry to hear of your losses seana, this whole situation is dreadful, but glad you are well health wise and glad it was just a scare for you. We're all ok touch wood but it is such a vile time for all, but this is starting to feel like 'normal' now! Thank goodness for my animals during all this as, as ever they've got me through but poor jets legs have shrunk with all the walking but bless him hes pulled something this week so on strict lead only exercise and been getting a lift everywhere rather than walking so hes making the most of it! The only good thing is that at 8 months, mia is now a professional horse rider as has just rode everyday...daddy is seeing £signs as mommy now wants a pony! I was due back june but furloughed till july at the moment, but tbf happy as get more time with all my children (fur and non fur!). Love to all anyway xxx

Thank you Lucy. The boys are well although Daddy Melly is ageing with weaker back legs but I think we still have plenty of life together yet please god. It has been a difficult few weeks, 4 deaths, 1 from covid...no underlying health issues...my parents oldest friend. Good age at 79 I guess but still young enough & was healthy enough to have had some more years. I had a health scare (not covid) but thankfully my doctor was wrong. Just a niggly condition but not life threatening!! I was panicking so much about the boys so could happily throttle the GP for a very stressful few days. Why is it some people just assume the absolute worst!! Workwise because I work alone I haven't been affected so all pretty normal here. Are you working from home now or furloughed?? I know you were due to return. Hope you are all coping. I feel deeply for young families like you and the very elderly who are not coping so well. Lets pray that things will start to improve sooner rather than later. People can not live like this for much longer so we might as well get on and learn to cope with the situation otherwise the whole country will be bankrupt!! Lots of love to all of you. Xxxx

Yay....Granny has finally gotten round to officially changing my name from Fergal Daybreaks to Fergal Connolly. I was beginning to think I hadn't behaved well enough these past 9 months!! Daddy is delighted as he is now very elderly and was panicking he might not be around to see the adoption. He says he now knows I am in good hands. I love my Daddy and Granny soooo much and of course my wonderful stepbrother who licks my ears nearly every day to show me how much he cares. May all the other foster boys and girls be lucky to soon be adopted. Lots of love to everyone from Fergal xxxx
