So we went for a walk this morning and it was soooooo windy. Then mom went to get TCs paper while we waited outside. It was so windy I asked TC to put me back in the car. When mom got to the till she could see TC but not me and she panicked!! She did! She came running out of the shop, without the paper, to see where I was. TC told her I’d asked to go play on the beach and he’d let me, tee hee. Then he told her I was in the car. She was so relieved that she went and got me a sossidge! I lubs sossidges. She got them some chips and made TC leave some for me! Sossidges and chips. Yum yum! Hope you are feeling better today Russ. Lubs to all Florence xxx

I'm just catching up on Russ's news, its been a busy week! So very very happy for gorgeous Russ. We were only wondering about him this morning. He's such a very gorgeous and gentle boy. Wonderful news and we'll look forward to seeing him at the launch day. We miss him but so glad he's found his loving place to call home x x

A restless night for Russ think he is in a little bit of discomfort but that is understandable I would be. Keeps coming to us for sympathy.

Russ, mom told me that you were my new cousin. I can’t wait to meet you next weekend and play in the sand run! I just love squiggles so will be sure to try and sneak a spade into my bag. Looking forward to wagging tails together. Lubs Florence xxxx

Russ has come back to us now he has been neutered! His operation went well and the vets said he was a good boy! There were no teeth removed just a clean. He is very wobbly which is expected and not up to eating. Tomorrow he should be feeling a little better, bless him! Thanks for choosing us as your Slaves Russ! Xx Ps I can’t wait until Florence and Russ meet! They are going to be very cute together and I’m sure Barney will be very happy watching on. Russ likes to change beds so I’m sure there may be a few games of musical beds! Don’t worry Florence he also has a waggy tail! Russ thinks you should also bring a spade so you can build a tunnel to ward end park! We went there the other day and I think the whole population of squirrels were there! He thinks you two should dig your way there! Xx

It was lovely to see the sun today - made such a nice change. Jo was off on the early Vet run this morning with Russ, who was collected this afternoon by his new Dad and will recuperate in the best place there is - his very own home. Thanks to our volunteers and college placements we could give the boys and girls both morning and afternoon walks. Many thanks for everyone's help today. Our new arrivals are so sweet, little Kylie is just like her sister Celia was - so very nervous and wary of the world. She has been paired up with Rose who is an absolute sweetie and very loving and friendly so we hope she will show Kylie the ropes and tell her not to be scared and that she is safe now. Big Ed is such a handsome and friendly boy. With more new arrivals expected over the weekend, the kennels is gradually coming back to life! Plans for the Daybreaks Trust Launch Open Day on 19th January are well under way and we hope to see as many ex residents and their humans as possible to help us celebrate our big step into the future. Parking will be available at Birmingham Exiles Rugby Club - at the top end nearest the A45. Please do drop in and join us. x This afternoon saw the gorgeous Knight off to his new home - he was over the moon to see his new Mum and couldn't wait to get out of the gate!! Wishing him many happy times ahead. Well it may be a new year, but my Friday evenings haven't changed and I will be raising a glass of wine to toast our boys and girls, Daybreaks Trust and its fabulous supporters and wishing for a weekend of red and/or green signs. Cheers! Angie xx

A very busy day...three lovely new arrivals, Ed, Rose and Kylie. :)) We have more boys and girls due to arrive over the next few days. 🙂 It was sad to see Lola returned this morning, she is a super little girl so I'm sure it won't be long before she finds a new home. Xxx Russ came back for the night to be ready to go for his neutering operation first thing in the morning. He now has a lovely "Reserved" sign on his kennel door and his new Dad left with winter coats ready for when his boy goes home with him for good. :)) Xx Richard and Declan got busy early this morning loading the van up for a trip to the tip! Thank you!! Later on Alan arrived with the first chocolate donuts of the New Year! Many thanks to him, Richard and Lucy for going to the warehouse for us. :)) Xxx Thank you to everyone for all your help today. Xxx

It was getting dark when we were trying to get photos of our new arrivals. Gorgeous little Rose was more interested in "swimming" around on the bed than smiling for the camera! Xxx :))
