Well mom got up today and she been moving around pushing a thing with wheels. So I’m thinking I’ve seen people push these and it is where they put their puppies. I have looked and looked and sniffed and sniffed, followed her whenever she’s moved and - no puppy! I’m losing hope....... lubs to all Florence xxx

After I posted my update, I decided to play a game of “steal hoomans items” ! This is a game where you find any item that belong to hoomans and runs round the house with it! This will cause you and your hoomans to have a game of “catch me if you can” hehe. Today’s items were a long duster and a towel! Lubs Russ Xx

We had lots of lovely volunteers, Duke of Edinburgh students and our two college placement students. Thanks all for your help. Thanks also to Liz_Beth for taking trebled and Zoey to the Sheldon Country Park walk and to Richard and Shirley for taking Drew and Harry along too. Gorgeous Paddy had a couple of lovely strolls around the sand run as he is currently on restricted exercise. He would be ideally suited to a home where he can just put his paws up and have short gentle walks. He is such a handsome big lad. Little Daisy is still not sure of her new surroundings or walking, she did have an upset tum this afternoon. Hopefully as she settles she will become more confident. Not too sure she enjoyed the second bath in as many days, bless her. Shy girl Kylie is starting to show her cheeky playful side, for those of you who don't know she is the sister of Celia who was very nervous and timid whilst at the kennels. If you have read the posts by her dad she certainly is not the same girl now! I suspect Kylie will be very similar in character!! We had lots of visitors come to use the sand run, some regular users and some new. People are amazed when they see the running area and really enjoy watching their hounds have a good run, or in the case of many greyhounds, a quick sprint followed by much sniffing and looking through the gate at the traffic passing by at the bottom of the drive! Despite the horrible weather it was a greyt day. X

Daisy

My hug goes to Daisy again today. She was a poorly little girl after her worming tablet yesterday. Despite that she seemed a little bit more confident today. She had her 2nd bath in 2 days to get her nice and clean again. I helped one of the other volunteers (well, I tried to help by keeping hold of the slip lead but probably just got in the way!) Hopefully she'll get confident enough in the next few days to go out on walks with the others. She'll make a lovely companion and I hope she gets her forever home soon. x

Oh Russ, I’m keeping a really close eye on mom but no sign of a puppy yet. I like the idea of using the stick things to get to the squiggles, I’ll get mom to bring them next time we come but I think that will be some time away. I love fish and chips, so mean of you mom and dad not to give you the leftovers straight away. Xxx

Zoey
I’m Homed
Zoey is a very pretty little girl. She came with me today to Sheldon Country Park. She needed a bit of help getting into the car, bless her! She did settle though and travelled quietly. Once at the park, I don't think she could believe her eyes; so many new sights and sounds. She was exhausted on the way home. She's a sweet little girl. Hoping that she finds her forever home very soon x

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Trebles is such a handsome boy. He came with me to Sheldon Country Park today. He happily jumped in the car and settled immediately. He also walked really well. He was a bit interested in non greys but nothing that a little gentle direction didn't fix. He's a lovely boy. Here's hoping for his forever home very soon x

Hi everyone! Today has been fun, I decided to pinch the fish and chips from the bin and eat them!!!!!!! The hoomans went out the room for a few minutes so I quietly went to the bin and stole the left overs! Oops... Florence I hope you find the puppy soon, if you do I want to meet him or her! Maybe those long sticks that your mom has might help us climb the trees in Ward End Park! Lubs Russ xx

Flo
I’m Homed
Yesterday we finally made Flo's adoption official. Flo came home with us on 22nd December initially on foster to make sure everyone was happy. Unfortunately Cilla had a few issues & we decided in both Cilla & Flo's best interests for Flo to go back to Daybreaks. Both Kate & Ruth were fantastic in their support explaining sometimes things just don't work out. We like to think Nifty then got involved as suddenly Cilla changed towards Flo. We have had fantastic support from everyone at Daybreaks in helping us settle Flo & also helping Cilla to accept the changes. In the middle of all this Mark has had shoulder surgery meaning he can't do much for a few weeks. Everything will work out & we have 3 haapy hounds. We wouldn't of been able to get through the last few weeks without the support & advice from everyone at Daybreaks.

Mom is home. Yesterday TC put me in the car and we drove for ages. He parked at big building and left me in the car, cheek! He came back an drove us for a very short distance and there was mom sitting in a funny chair with wheels. She had two long sticks which definitely didn’t come from where the squiggels live! The man in blue pushing mom and a man in green with a very important looking bag gave me loads of fuss. When mom was in the car TC drove us back to where he first parked and got me out so I could see mom and then have a wee, then we drove home. Again I was left in the car while mom went in the bungalow and then when I went in and she was in bed, I got so excited and jumped up and down next to her before I settled in me bed next to her. I haven’t spotted my puppy brother or sister yet but mom has got a weird thing on her foot and can’t walk me for 5 weeks. She says the ysbyty was an hour and a half away and I was a very good girl. I’ll let you know when I find the puppy. Lubs to all Florence xxx
