2019 Daybreaks Diary!

Thanks as always to our Wednesday walkers. Although it was chilly it stayed dry until the last afternoon walks, and then it wasn't too wet. There were only a couple of visitors so fairly quiet on that front. I got to meet Sparky and Meena, they are both so gorgeous and have paired up beautifully together. There is really not much else to report. Don't forget we still have tickets available for our Countdown to Christmas event on 23 November at Birmingham Exiles Rugby Club. If you can't make it to the kennels to get a ticket you can pay over the phone by card. We also have Christmas cards and calendars for sale (you may want to check out Mr June, it is my Flloyd, Lucy took the wonderful photo at our birthday party, I'm biased I know). There is a lovely photo of Sara who very sadly passed away in April, it's worth getting one just for that beautiful photo. It has started to get chilly at night, the dogs have some heaters on in the kennel blocks and I am trying to get my feet warm!

Really sorry your girl has this condition. I’ve not had any experience of it nor have I come across anyone who has. I just wanted to say the vets at Willows are usually top class and I hope they can come up with something to help her. It must be such a worry. Try to stay strong (easier said than done I know) x

Lots of lovely helpers today, thanks everyone! 🙂 Shirley, Richard and Declan had a trip to the warehouse this afternoon and I think there is an exciting visit to the tip planned for Thursday! :)) Sparky and Meena are settling down well. They are sharing a kennel and seem to like each other's company. Xx It was good to see Ruth, Tig and Momma today. Tig is quite grown up now!! It was lovely to see her run so very fast in the sand run. Her leg looks great. Xxx Lots of fireworks going off when I left the kennels this evening, but the residents were quite relaxed listening to Classic FM. :)) All looked calm when I checked the cameras throughout the evening. Hopefully most of the fireworks have been lit by now!! I am hoping to be able to get my space on the sofa back from Fletch soon. :))) Xxx

I am so very sorry to read that your little girl is poorly, I'm sorry I don't have any advise, but I really hope you find out what is wrong with Bessie and she gets the help she needs, thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed for a positive outcome xxxxx

My poor girl is now down to 18.25kg she hasn't got much longer unless her medication starts to work and she can gain weight. Vets at Willows are still not 100% sure what is wrong but her condition relates to protein loss in urine. If anybody has any advice or has been through this medical condition with their dog please can you leave a message. Thank you x

Two new arrivals today Meena and Sparky! Both gorgeous. :)) Thanks to Vanessa and Julia for giving them a bath. 🙂 Sparky is the litter brother of former Daybreaks residents Saddle and Roy, who I'm sure a lot of you will remember and met. Xx We are hoping to welcome another new arrival, Arties Sister later in the week. Xx The weather was kind to our walkers and allowed them to get morning amd afternoon walks done without getting wet! :)) Danny was able to join in again after his recent neutering operation. He enjoyed joining the group again. 🙂 Dave worked hard on sorting out the bedding...there is a lot of it! :)) All looks very tidy now! Thanks Dave:) The Calendars for next year are selling well. It's great to see photos of some of the Greyhounds we have had the pleasure of helping to find their forever homes featured in the calendar. It's sad but lovely to see Sara our longtime volunteer paid tribute to. Xxx They make great Christmas gifts. :)) So don't miss out!! :))) Thanks so much to all of our lovely volunteers today. :)) Xxx

This beautifully big boy is super. I really love walking him because he is tall enough to stroke (which he enjoys) while we're walking. He also liked lots of kisses on his head, although to be honest I didn't give him much choice!! Xxxxxxx
