IN MEMORY OF TONY Although his smile has gone forever, and his paw you can no longer touch, you still have so many memories of this boy who you loved so much. His memory will be your keepsake with which you will never part, God has Tony in his keeping while you have Tony in your heart. Rest in peace beautiful boy... take your wings and fly to your stepbrothers and stepsisters and all those who have gone before us. Sending love to Ruth, Andy, Momma, Tiggy & Miss Vodka. Seana and Fergal. xxxx

Truly devastated to hear the news of Tony. Always greeting whoever walked towards the office doors with such kindness and joy. With his fancy green collar and bulging out letters spelling his name! Such a superstar to Ruth, the family and Daybreaks. Thoughts and prayers at this time! Love to all.. xx

Dear Ruth and Andy, I am absolutely heartbroken for you. I know how much you loved your Tony. Xxx He was a beautiful, gentle soul. When he looked at anyone, he made you feel like he understood all your worries and stress. 🙂 Xxx He was great with my Skip, even when he sneaked onto Tony's bed in the office, he was happy to share. Xxx Will miss you so much sweetheart. God Bless his new special Angel. Lots of love Kate and Skip Xxx xxx

I am struggling to even find the words to write to say that this afternoon our handsome boy Tony had an accident , running into fencing and a CT at willows confirmed our worst fears. Mr Antonio Bonio, Mr T…. My heart has broken into a million pieces . I’ll miss you more than words can ever convey. Sleep tight my handsome gentle fella x

You are such a pretty little girl. She will make an amazing companion to someone. She is so well behaved. Just needs that home where no other dogs so she can love you just to herself.

Was a pleasure to walk you in sand run on Sunday you were such a good girl and seem to have calmed a little. You are a beautiful playful girl who loves her food. You have gorgeous eyes. Please give this girl a chance she's amazing.

A little Maggie update, she is so lovely and has settled into our home really well. She is a huge support for our autisic son, and is bringing us so much happiness. We are starting to really see her personality now and she's a funny little lady. I'm so glad we took a chance on her!

Ruby's owners contacted me early this morning to say they would like her back as they regretted the decision they had made yesterday. As she had arrived yesterday seemingly unwell, I had told her owners that I would examine her and found that she was very tender in her tummy and pain when extending her back right leg, along with weight loss. I arranged an urgent appointment and she was seen at Fivelands and an x-ray has been arranged. Her owners have taken her for her x-ray and we are awaiting for the results. We are hoping it is nothing serious. Her strange behaviour could be related to her being in pain and we hope this can be sorted.

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Really lovely day yesterday as I was able to spend lots of time with the residents instead of stuck in the office. Pan, Ruby and Robin went to work with Rob at Morrisons to promote themselves and Daybreaks…. A job well done to all the volunteers two and four legged for all their dedication. A returnee always makes us sad but we applaud those who are brave enough to contact us if things aren’t working out. We are always there to support as it’s our job to do so. I hope Ruby’s owners kept to their promise to go home, have a cuppa and cake and stop beating themselves up x hugs all round x On a lighter note I had a corn clinic and helped several greyhounds with corns and in addition I was ‘Dr Pimple Popper’ with a ginormous lump on a grey that the vets had suggested surgery wouldn’t be possible!!!! Obviously for those that know me it was the highlight of my day!
