Princess is such a happy little girl, with a very dangerous tail!! It whips round at such a pace, and she greets everybody with a smile, a bounce and a tail lash!! Hopefully her friendly outgoing nature will show kennel mate Celia that us humans are ok and she has no need to be scared. xx

Although still vey wary, and with her tail firmly tucked, this pretty little girl was so much braver this morning. She jumped off the bed, following Princess, and did approach the door but decided to stay behind her kennel mate. She did come out without coaxing though, and certainly enjoyed her breakfast. Hopefully as the days go by she will relax and realise she is safe and has no need to be scared of the world. She is so dainty and tiny, you just want to snuggle her!! She gets my cuddle today. xx

Frankie's family have asked me to write the following comment on their behalf... "It is with great sadness we have had to say goodbye to Frankie. He was very much loved and he is dearly missed by us all, especially Yogi, his German Shepherd brother. Xx His ashes are scattered on the beach in Torquay, his favourite place of all Xx" God Bless your lovely lad. Xxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
What a cold & frosty start to the day - the latch on my driveway gate was frozen and took a bit of persuasion to open!! I am not impressed, it's way too early to be winter yet! It turned into a very bright but cold day - we had plenty of helpers so both morning & afternoon walks took place - but there were some volunteers with some very red noses by the end!! Thanks everyone for your help today. It was a very busy scene at the kennels all day as we began our festive preparations - our trees were put up and decorated by the students, and Santa's Grotto is starting to take shape. Both post-op doggies are fine today, eating well and bright as buttons. This afternoon saw the arrival of 2 beautiful little black girls to join the Daybreaks family - Celia and Princess. Princess is a very happy, bouncy girl with a very waggy tail. Celia is very shy & nervous at the moment, but it must be very overwhelming for them both to find themselves in a new environment that they don't know, surrounded by people, sights and sounds that are strange to them. They both enjoyed their dinner though, so let's hope they have a settled night. We had lots of visitors today - customers for pampers and to use the run, donations of lovely towels and bedding and sales of Christmas cards & calendars. Trebles also had a visit from his new Mum who spent some time in his kennel with him. Well incredibly its the weekend yet again - a bit of a quieter one for me after last week's fabulous Christmas event. We have some of our red signs turning green tomorrow - so lets hope that they are quickly replaced by some new red signs as more of our boys & girls find their forever families in time for Christmas. I will raise my glass to toast this, may have to have a tot of brandy this evening by way of a change. Purely medicinal of course to chase away the cold!! Whatever you're doing this weekend, stay warm and enjoy! Angie xx

An early start for me and Jess this morning. Jess very kindly dropped Finnie off at Fivelands, Moseley for his neutering operation and I took Shelly to the Yardley branch for her neutering operation. As I got up earlier than usual only one of my four wanted to come out for a walk with me! Good old Fletch! :)) xx Thanks so much to Pauline who is soon to be Finn's new Mommy for collecting him from the vets for us and to Richard and Shirley for picking up little Shelly. We are so grateful. Xxx It was lovely to see Roxy go home. She is now known as Penny, although the family's little girl wanted to call her Beryl! :). Wishing them all lots of happy times together. Thanks so much to everyone who brought in bedding and items for the donation table. Many thanks to the person who sent us some tins of pilchards via Amazon. So kind of you. 🙂 I met Knight today, what a handsome lad he is! We wanted to called him Lance....short for Lancelot! A true Knights name! :))) He is a very happy, friendly lad. Xx There are two new girls due to arrive tomorrow! Xx We had lots of walkers today, great to see everyone. 🙂 Thank you. Alan, Richard and Declan did a warehouse run for us. I can recommend the packets of Puff Jerky they have discovered. Mine love it! 🙂 xx Xxx

I think 'she is a character' is the best way to describe Evie. She seems to love people. She is interested in everthing, enjoys snuggling upside down in her bed. She will be a fun companion. More kisses for her tonight. Xxxxx
