Ah now this isn't a level playing field, for days now we've had water pipes running everywhere and Jeff hasn't been able to close the doors , so when Carrie comes out of what's left of the Kitchen after eating her dinner I can go in and eat the tub of Flora because he can't shut the door and can't stop me because I'm sooooo Fast at everything, This Storm Dennis guy gave me an amazing playground anyway I heard Jeff talking to a nice lady on the phone and she sent a nice man who has changed it all so Jeff can now shut the doors to the Kitchen that's just so NOT FAIR, Carrie did mention before about the "OUT OF MY KITCHEN " game that Jeff likes to play s'pose Im just gonna have to learn that game instead, its a bit noisy here at the moment but I forgot one really important thing, I have a bed and a home ( Jeffs) and so do Jess and Carrie, I'm loved by Dad ( WOW get me first time I called him Dad) as Carrie is sooo loved by Dad and he talks about his Mummy and calls her AKA CARLA all the time but none of us would be here without a Medical Secretary who gave up her job in July 2006 to help us all out. When I get a bit difficult( and trust me I do get difficult) Jeff always reminds himself of what could have been and then gives me a pancake ( I'm not much into cuddles, I prefer a bit of rough and tumble) but Thanks Ruth without you none of us would ever have met xx Loads of Love Celia , Princess Jess and Carrie xx

One word sums up today - WET!!! Although as it was sleeting during my drive in to the kennels first thing I guess we should be thankful we didn't get any white stuff! Jo was off early on the Vet run as it was Beano's turn to be neutered. Bless her she was still very wobbly on her return this afternoon and didn't want her small bowl of food we had prepared for her. Hopefully she will feel a bit brighter tomorrow. x The boys & girls did manage a short walk this morning when the downpour wasn't quite so heavy. They may not have enjoyed getting wet - but I think they enjoyed all the extra attention as they had heads and paws dried before they went back to bed! It was a day when you really couldn't do anything, and afternoon walks were abandoned so we did grooming and playing with toys in the feeding runs. I have a soft spot for little Lou, and it was lovely to see her having fun with a toy. She thought that the toy in the next run that Lady had was obviously better than hers so, as Lady wasn't using it and had left it close to the adjoining bars, Lou put her paws under the bar and scraped it underneath towards her so she could play with it - clever girl! x It was lovely to see Lola again, such a shame about the circumstances. I tried to spend some time putting covers on the duvets, but Lola decided she wanted to "help" and I had to abandon my project as she kept sitting on the covers, and the ends of the duvets as I tried to do up the buttons!! Wishing her Mum all the best and hope she can go home again very soon. A big thankyou for everyone's help today - it really was a terrible day to be out if you didn't have to be and your support was very much appreciated. Well the weekend is here again. It is the Sheldon Country Park walk on Sunday, so I am praying that the weather vastly improves before then. We also have some viewings booked so keep your fingers crossed. It is definitely a red wine kind of evening - so I will raise my glass later to Daybreaks boys & girls, a kennel full of beauties each so deserving of their own forever home. xx Whatever you are up to this weekend, stay warm & dry if you can - cheers! Angie xx

No Snow! Hurrah!! :)) Although it was very chilly... Richard and Declan had a trip to the tip first thing, a dirty job but someone has to do it! 🙂 x Richard then went off with Bob to collect our new arrival, the very handsome Dice. What a happy lad! Alan and Declan did the warehouse run. 🙂 After a cup of tea and chocolate donut, of course! :)) It was a beautiful afternoon, lots of blue sky and sunshine:) I went out on the last walk with Gloria and Kerry accompanied by the lovely Penny and Ed. I was able to take my Skip and Lyra. Penny loved the new company and was bouncing along. :)) We have lovely Lola staying with us for a few days. Very sadly her owner has had a fall and was taken to hospital late this afternoon. Cath is a friend of Alan's and he very kindly picked Lola up and brought her to the kennels this evening. It's such a shame, we send lots of love and get well wishes to Cath and hope it won't be long before she and Lola are reunited. Xxx You just never know what's around the corner.... A big thank you to everyone for all your help today. Thanks so much to Bronya and Kerry for giving the treatment room a good clean! :)) Xxx

So just a warning to anyone who might visit Wales, there’s bears! There is! I will not walk down the lane by my big dog kennel because of the bears, I can smell them, I can, TC tries to make me walk on but no way, there’s bears down there! So because I am not walking very far (the bears you know) yesterday afternoon mom and TC took out to one of my favourite walks along the costal path. Mom was on her whizzy wheely machine and it is so much fun. She goes slow and I go slow, she stops I stop, she goes fast I go fast! She says sorry to TC for making him go fast too! As we were walking past the field there was a huge white dog in it, really really huge. Mom calls it over and it comes and she fusses it promising carrots next time, why would it want carrots? I can’t stand them, I can’t, they are yucky! When we carry on the huge dog walks next to mom on the other side of the fence until we pass the end of the field. On the way back it comes for more fuss and again mom promises carrots, I tried to tell it they are horrid but we’ll see! Lubs to all Florence xxx

Russ
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Russ has certainly made himself at home since we have had him. He nudges you to move out the way when he wants to get on the sofa or wants some of the food you are eating. He still loves the sink bowl and moves it at least 3 times a day. He takes himself to bed at night and this morning went downstairs and gave a little bark to go out in the garden then went back to bed. He don’t let you forget breakfast and dinner. Russ is a fabulous addition to the family.

Dasher had another Brueton park walk last Sunday, and again he was a perfect walking companion. No fuss, just happy to be out and about. He was well behaved in the cafe and is the right height to gazed out the window and calmly watch the wildlife in the garden.

Firstly I must thank Angie for covering the kennels first thing this morning. I have sadly been without hot water at home for over a week! New parts fitted to the boiler, cancelled visits and today no better news....more parts and an other engineer visit tomorrow! Also many thanks to one of our regular sand run users who said I could pop around to her house and make use of her facilities :)) Fed up with filling kettles and boiling water in saucepan :(( So thank you so much Angie. Hopefully tomorrow we will be sorted, not holding my breath though. Anyhow, back to kennel business. We had lovely volunteers from Network Rail come to help out. They all fell in love with our residents, but who couldn't? They were really surprised at just how low maintenance they are and how little exercise they need. As they say '40 mile an hour couch potatoes'. We had lots of extra help with our college placement students and extra kennel volunteers arriving this afternoon. We had so much help that all the inmates had lots of love and extra cuddles. Stan the man was a huge hit with everyone, after his visit to the Park yesterday and the glowing report from Stormin, he found himself reserved, well done handsome lad. X If you are thinking about adopting a dog please give us a call and come and pay us a visit and have a look at the beautiful dogs waiting for their forever sofa. Well, the weather forecast for the next couple of days is grim to say the least. Keep yourselves and your hounds warm and cosy. Hoping for hot water tomorrow!!!
