Sam
I’m Homed
Today is my gorgeous Sam's first official Gotcha Day. For those of you who don't know the story I walked Sam at the kennels one Friday just over a year ago. We arranged to take a kennel dog on a walk on the Sunday. I said to Dave, who was getting the resident ready for us, that I didn't mind who we took. He had Sam ready for us. He had only just turned 2 and had been returned after a few days of adoption because of separation anxiety. Sam was so gorgeous that I agreed to foster him for 2 days to see how he got on with there being other dogs around - we had Skip and also had Bert at that time (Lost him 3 weeks later at 13 1/4). I think I'd already fallen for him before I got home but we didn't know how we'd manage with 3. The next day or so I extended the fostering to the end of the week but rang Ruth on the Wednesday to say I'd failed and wanted to adopt him. The papers were signed on Friday 3rd May and I absolutely adore him and have never looked back. I'm very sad that he never got to come on a camping trip with Bert (we'd just bought a caravan and were all ready to go but Bert took a turn for the worse and we lost him in the early hours our first caravan trip was planned). Every single day Sam and Skip make us laugh and I'm so thankful to everyone at Daybreaks who helped me fail at fostering. Sam and Skip have had their breakfast of sardines in tomato sauce and we're off to the sand run later. Lynne x

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
I need your help please...... Had a VERY busy day at Daybreaks yesterday with Andy Price as my assistant ???? with corn removals, many very long nails being clipped, a stitch removal, a poorly foot, lump on neck and lots of food sold, it was so great to be there...... However I got talking to my first visitors and I now have a fabulous day on Tuesday planned... totally socially distanced of course and PPE available - we are going to attack a few jobs desperate to be done. So this is where I am in need of wall filler, shelving materials, paint.... white indoor and outdoor and pretty please if anyone has some cornflower blue wood paint it would be desperately appreciated. I also need someone who understands electrics as the electric gate has ‘died’. Please call me on 01217827702 if you can help x

Happy Gotcha Day Ruby Rebel!! You are a very special boy! :)) I agree with shanishoo, you are very energetic for a Greyhound....my lad Skip looked up the definition of "Retired" when he came to live with us.... "to withdraw from one's position or occupation or from active working life" He would be horrified to see your diary! :)) Xxx

Hi Sammc, I'm afraid Blue didn't pass his cat test, so we wouldn't recommend he went to a home with cats. So sorry. Xxx

Hello Friends. It’s my Gotcha anniversary today, 2 years now in furever home. I have learned that homelife is the best life! I do the holiday at sandy beaches, I do the training classes and passed silver citizen award, I do both sunbathe and walk in rain, I do blood donate (for biscuits), I do the greyhound roadshow awareness thing and remember my rescue team, I found a happy daycare house to stay at when pawrents busy, I do the not bothered with busy builders and noisey fireworks and I do vet visit on my paw to beat corn limp. I can do lockdown with stay at furever home, with food, sleep and local walk. I have happy face because lots of people and friendly hounds have helped me, so next year I will do more of helping others. See you soon, love RubyRebel
