2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It was a good job I started out early this morning, because the road I use to get to the A45 was closed due to flooding. After a moment of mild panic, I followed the queue of other diverted travellers and soon found my way back to familiar ground and arrived at the kennels on time! It was a dark, grey old day but at least it stayed dry so the boys & girls could get out for 2 walks today. Our 3 new arrivals are lovely and are settling in well. As Kate said yesterday Trebles is a little shy, but he is such a gentle and placid soul and has the most amazing ears! Shelly is happily paired with the handsome Drew, and Finnie is being kept in line by madam Scruff!! It was very quiet for visitors, so we carried on with "spring" cleaning, sorting and tidying. Many thanks for everyone's help today. Countdown to Christmas tickets are still available, please come along for an evening of shopping, eating & fun! The weekend is with us again, here's hoping for some better weather to encourage folk to visit us and our lovely boys & girls. I will raise my glass of red wine tonight to our current residents - may forever sofas be just around the corner. Whatever you're doing this weekend, enjoy. Cheers! Angie x

Anyone who has seen the original Blade Runner movie will know what I mean when I say I would have loved to have gone "off world" to the sunshine today!! It rained and it rained and it rained! :(( We were not able to take the dogs out for any walks and even the sand run was too wet to run around in. :(( Our residents were very patient and enjoyed extra treats and grooming in their kennels and time out in the small runs. I don't really think they were too bothered about going out and getting wet. 🙂 xx Sparky went off for his neutering operation this morning. He traveled really well in the car. There was a fluffy dog in the vets when we arrived and he was a little excited when he saw him. He will need some help to understand they are just dogs like himself, just smaller! Thanks so much to Richard and Shirley for collecting him this afternoon. Xxx We had three gorgeous new arrivals today. Shelly, Trebles and Finnie. Trebles is quit shy at the moment but you can see there is a gentle soul waiting to emerge. Shelly is nervous but gives you a waggy tail when you talk to her. Finnie seems to be a very nice young man! Many thanks to Bob and Declan for collecting them for us. Alan cheered us up by supplying the chocolate donuts, Bless you Alan! :)) xx Thank you to everyone for coming in and getting so very wet and cold. So grateful to you all. :)) Xxx

Hi. It’s lovely to read all the comments about Luna. She’s settling in brilliantly and has already taken over the sofa. She’s gentle, walks brilliantly on her lead and is enjoying playing ball in the garden. Luna and our son have definitely bonded and he keeps saying how much he loves her. She’s been brilliant with my parents’ dog and is getting used to seeing other dogs on her walks. Thank you to everyone at Day Breaks for looking after us so we’ll and for all your advice.

I know we are coming up to winter, but today was bitterly cold. Despite that all dogs had morning and afternoon walks. Thanks as always to our Wednesday walkers. It was lovely to see Ruth today with Tig and Momma. She left me charged with some admin tasks. They will hopefully be done by the end of the week. We have tickets available for our Countdown to Christmas event on 23rd November. On sale we also have Christmas cards, calendars and mugs for sale. Give us a call if you would like any of these items and we can find out what the postage is and send them to you, how cool is that?

Louise had her neutering operation today. She was very wobbly when Lucy and I picked her up this afternoon. Hoping she will feel better tomorrow. Xxx Lola has gone home! Wishing her and her lovely new family lots of happy times together. Xxx The rain stayed away for both morning and afternoon walks. Evie was so excited to be going out, she was bouncing around! :)) Thanks so much to Lucy for the updated photos on the website. Meena's new photo is great! :)) Thanks everyone for all your help today. Xxx Tonight is the first night for what seems like an eternity that my Lyra and Fletcher haven't been stressed by the sound of fireworks. I hate to see them looking so upset. 🙁 Hoping they will soon want to go out for evening walks again... Xxx

Lola is officially ours! We are over the moon to have brought her home. She is an absolute dream, the perfect little lady, and a very special addition to our family. Her ears have a mind of their own, and her little ways have melted us. Thank you Daybreaks, to Lisa, Kate, Ruth and Helen, for everything x x ??
