It was great to see both Lola and Harry reserved today! 🙂 Xx We had plenty of willing walkers today and the weather was fine so all enjoyed their walks. Xx Thanks so much to the visitors who dropped off bedding for us. I was surprised by the doorbell ringing at 5.30pm from a lovely couple with a donation of duvets. 🙂 Please can I ask anyone who uses the sand run to remember to pick up any little deposits their dogs might leave behind. 🙂 Sadly one of our regular customers picked up numerous "extras" in the sand when she came to use the run recently. We need to make sure the run is safe and clean for everyone's use. Thanks so much. Xx. We have another new arrival due in tomorrow. :)) Thank you to everyone for all your help today. 🙂 Xxx

TC and mom went out earlier and left me for ages and ages and ages with my Welsh Uncle Ian. TC came home on his own. Seems mom has gone to the ysbyty for an opzerashin and won't be back till Saturday at the earliest. I'm having a huff because she's not here. Lubs to all Florence x x

Are we bound by the 'Trades description Act'? Does it cover greyhounds? So funny to read about her antics, definitely doesn't sound like the little gilt in the kennel. Oh RIP hot water bottle! X

Just a gentle head and ear rub babes, that's all you need, even the lady on the walk today didn't mind when you jumped at her and put muddy paw prints on her coat, do you know why? , because you are so lovely and gentle and loving and affectionate ..that's why

Longingforagrey, that's what I thought, I do like dogs with a crazy personality though and Celia has a personality larger than anything ..ever, so unexpected but quite welcome, after all when you commit to a dog, you commit no matter what and when you commit to a Greyhound, you have no choice anymore, I will learn how to keep her calm and happy and she probably will continue to be a crazy Young lady but above all, I made the right choice at the right time , Celia is unique

OMG the new Carrie for fame, Celia is a complete Looney and off the scale with unruliness, I would like to know please who told her that by going home with me she wouldn't and couldn't do ever do anything wrong enough for me to bring her back, I am so glad that The Daybreaks Trust is not bound by retail laws as she would be getting returned as " goods not as described" this nervous gentle reserved young lady is a complete Crazy hound and to see her laid on her back feet in the air as she is now is lovely, I'm off to blow raspberries on her belly ...goodnight

When you look at her worried little face, you can't imagine she would be capable of such mischief!

Russ
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Russ had really made himself at home. For the first time last night he took himself to bed. He came downstairs with me at 1.25am before I went to work for his walk without being asked. Only thing is now when I pick up his lead he gets in his bed so I have to give him a treat to get up to go out.

R.I.P. Hot water Bottle, you were so nice to cuddle up to and you didn't deserve to be chewed to death in this way, I'm so sorry you soaked my bed and the carpet before you died , 42 dog toys and bones littered around the house and she chooses you

Interviewer: So Florence how does it feel to be adopted? Florence: What you taking about Willis? I: Okay - you think TC and your mom are like you? F: Well TC and I both prefer to snack than eat main meals and mom and I like to sleep a lot. I: What about how you and your family look? F: Well TC has a bald spot on his head and I have a bald spot on my bottom. Mom and I both have long legs. I think they aren’t as hairy as me because they are OLD. My bother has lots of fur which is long and my sister has lots of fur which is short like mine, think that’s a fashion choice! I: Florence I have to tell you mom and TC aren’t your birth parents. F: Get away with you, you’ll be telling me Father Christmas isn’t real next! That’s how moms dream went last night! Lubs to all. Florence. Xxxx

Daybreaks Diary!

It was a little warmer today thank goodness. Thanks as always to our Wednesday walkers, college students and volunteers. All dogs enjoyed morning and afternoon walks. Paddy had a gentle stroll around the sand run. We had a fantastic donation of dog food and treats. Thanks to the lovely gentleman who brought it in. All winners of Sunday's launch day raffle have now been notified, sorry if you didn't get a call! We very kindly had two edible prizes donated back to the kennels for our volunteers to enjoy, thanks so much. Our donation table is now back out, why not come and see if anything grabs your attention?

Poor Lottie not having a good time at the moment, took her to the vet with eye discharge which the vet thinks is dry eye caused by an auto immune so on drops for a few weeks but may need to be on them permanently, she also has developed a worrying cough so treating initially for infection possibly kennel cough although it doesn’t sound like a kennnel cough type cough, if no better then x-ray possible lung tumour and then to add to her list of woes she also has an exploding rear end probably due to something she snaffled in the field when I wasn’t looking! Fingers crossed the antibiotics work. The joys of being a greyhound mum
