Yes we did end up coming home with a foster boy, Trebles! So far he has been the perfect house guest. He has settled well but does keep getting up out of bed if we leave the room. It’s all new for him and he seems a little nervous and confused about things which is understandable. He ate his dinner perfectly and played with his KONG Ball for a good while. He likes to have a good rest in his bed or on the floor and comes for fuss. We are struggling to get him to pee in the garden but I’m sure overtime he will get use to things. Overall his a lovely gentle boy and we love him. We will see how the night goes and we will go from there. Must be so confusing for him! We haven’t tried to let him upstairs yet but his got the option to. Doesn’t seem keen on them but probably overtime he will be racing up them. He seems happy enough which is good. As of yet no accidents in the house and his great on his walks. Seems great so far! Xxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!

It felt very chilly again today. As there were so few dogs in, Angie had got feeding and cleaning done in extra quick time and left early to sort some other things out. Trebles has gone out on foster, good luck to him. Knight came back after his Christmas holiday foster, he was such a good boy, very well behaved. Sadly Cassie (Harley) was returned as was Blue. As Kate has already said, unfortunately things sometimes don't always work out. The are both gorgeous so fingers crossed that the I stay is a short one. Fantastic to receive a call from Sparkys foster mom asking if she could become his 'proper' mom. Watch this space we may have an update on another hound very soon! Thanks to Dave who had a good old sort out of stuff around the kennels and to Chris for walking and sand run duties this afternoon. Ruth popped in briefly before heading off to the office to collect a load of our new Daybreaks Trust forms and paperwork. Hope she is feeling less tired. A massive thanks to Nick and Martha (Ruby Rebels mom and dad) for coming in with Nicks boss from JLR with a fantastic cheque donation, amazing. Going to try and get warm now, the kennel residents were all tucked up warm and cosy when we left. X

Mom says I must stop accosting people, well really! I only went up to Paul at Cardigan Castle, we always have some love to share and then the nice lady and man as we were leaving. They’d thought about adopting a greyhound before and I could see they just needed some encouragement. Then there was the man in the shop where TC brought his Tide Table book -he looked like he needed a cuddle. There were the four people who came into WH Smith’s as we were leaving, I had to make sure they’d had some affection before they entered didn’t I! Oh and the lady in The Works and the one I passed on the way back to the car. How can you call that ‘accosting’? Lubs to all Florence. Xxx

Drew
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Sending love and cuddles to Drew this morning. He returned to Daybreaks yesterday after his Christmas break with us. It was sad to see him return but hope his experience of home life will help soon give him a chance of his forever home. I can only really reiterate what I have said in my previous posts. For a little bit older lad who has spent all of his 6 years in kennels he was settling into home life well. He was clean in the house after the first day, slept during the night after a couple of days and was a very loving hound who loved his cuddles. He got on well with the resident greyhounds especially (which I must admit surprised me) our 4 year old lad, who he liked to play with. To sum up with a little bit of time to settle he will make a loving boy to add to your family. He would probably be better with another greyhound for company and to learn the house rules from, but not small furry animals. He is very interested in all the new things around him, and being a strong dog will need a firm hand on his walks initially but will settle as new things become normal. If there is window he can stand beside to observe the outside world, he will amuse himself for hours. Good luck in finding your forever home Drew. would have loved to let you stay but I think you may be a little too big and lively for my two old girls.

Poor boy we had made our mind up who to have on our sofa after many discussions. Then all of a sudden you turn up and we all feel sorry for you and the discussions go on again. We will end up with 3 dogs in our house because we all want a different one.

Well we have three dogs at the kennels today, Drew, Russ and Trebles. very sad to see Trebles returned but sometimes things don't always work out as we would like them to. Xx Drew and Russ both back from their Christmas holiday, thank you again to their foster families for giving them a great time away from kennel life and fingers crossed they will be soon be in their forever homes. Scruff came back from her Christmas holiday and then went straight out again, she became our our first Greyhound homed by Daybreaks Trust today, Ruth had the pleasure of seeing Scruff, now called Sally adopted by her lovely new family. :)) Hopefully she will be the first of many to find homes this year. Xxx We had a few teething problems with our new till system....thank you to Margaret for her patience while Ruth and I (mainly Ruth!) tried to figure out how she could pay for something via the telephone! Happy New Year to everyone! Thanks so much to all who came in to help today, we certainly had more people than dogs. :))) Xxx
