Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
An unpleasant surprise this morning. Part of the roof on our bottom kennel block succumbed to Storm Dennis. Fortunately, if anything could be fortunate only one kennel was affected. Thankfully we had moved the resident from that particular kennel on Friday. Many thanks to Bella and Si who braved the elements and got the ladders out in an attempt to put it back in place. They managed to do a temporary repair, unfortunately the wood on the roof is very rotten. Subsequently the bathroom also suffered a little flooding as it is adjacent to affected kennel. As if anything else could go wrong it did!! The lock on the office door was sticking. The day was spent trying not to fully close the door just in case we got stuck....I didn't really want to climb through the window with two greyhounds at the end of the day!! Thanks to our intrepid volunteers and lovely college placement students for all their help on such a very wet, windy miserable day. Most of the dogs managed a morning walk, that was until it really became too awful to continue. The remaining dogs had the toys out in the outdoor runs and had a great time playing. This afternoon we erred on the side of caution and each dog had a play in the sand run. Paddy seemed a little happier today, bless him. Thanks to everyone who came in with bedding and to use the sand run. We also had a visit from Steve and Sue who recently did the Pets at Home road show in Stratford. They came in with donations of bedding, pilchards and other goodies. Thanks to everyone who made a donation there. The highlight of the day was a call from a lovely family who had been in to meet our residents. They went away to make a decision and gorgeous boy Ringo was the hound who melted their hearts. Well done lad. Xx We hope that you managed to escape the wrath of Storm Dennis, sorry to hear Jeffrey, Carrie, Celia and Princess Jess were not so lucky (sorry your swimming pool disappeared girls, not so sure your Dad is unhappy with it's disappearance though). Lets hope that the weather will now improve. Take care all. X

Walked him today, in the pouring rain. He walked very well on the lead, had a good pace and walked right to heel, against my leg. Later on we went for a run in the sand run. He had a little prance to get started, then runs normally, so funny. He needs to learn some manners with food, but he'll get there.

Oh my goodness! Glad that you are all ok and safe - hopefully your electric will be back soon. I think we have all had enough of this horrid thing called Winter now, and need the sun to shine very soon. x

You wouldn't recognise this hound now - she is such a confident dog from the very timid dog I first picked up! She went for her booster yesterday (her first time away from her sisters) and whilst nervous, took everything in her stride! She is an absolute poppet - I couldn't have wanted for a happier dog! Still spends every evening curled up next to me in bed - and let's me know when it's time to get up! Keep up the good work at Daybreaks!

We took lovely Lola to her first training class today. We know there is a happy confident little girl in her trying to come out and the class helped a lot today thanks to Julie and co. After class we took her to Daybreaks for her official adoption. She now has 2 cat sisters for company and a lovely new mom who loves her loads. We wish them all many happy times together xx
