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

It is with a very heavy heart that i have to say we lost George on 6th October 2019 just 3 weeks off his 12th birthday. He was the most gentle giant of a greyhound we could ever have wished for. He was a huge part of our lives and we will miss you enormously. Until we meet again. All our love and cuddles. xxxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
A nice bright, sunny but chilly day. Thanks to everyone who came in to clean, feed and walk, both morning and afternoon walkers were done. The behind-the-scenes areas of the kennels look remarkably different, there has been somewhat of a makeover taking place. Thanks to Dave for all of his hard work, moving, rearranging and tidying, it made a change from him battling with nature and the constant sweeping of the never-ending falling leaves! Tiger had a visit from his new family, as did Lola. All being well they will both be going home with their prospective owners very soon. Thanks for the donations of bedding. We had a few visitors come along to use the sand run including Billy who was Ben when in the kennels. Little Cara also popped in for a visit, it is always lovely to see how our ex-residents are getting on and how well they look. Well, we should be having some new arrivals this week, so watch this space!

How wonderful to hear how Kylie is doing, she sounds like a real character. I remember when she and her brothers and sisters arrived back at the kennels in such sad circumtances and were dubbed the 'Famous Five'! Pleased she is doing well. Jo and the furry five. X

Kylie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Yesterday was Kylie's 5th anniversary with us. She's now 14 and 1/3 years old, well, I should say, young, as she's still in denial of her golden years. She still has her sister Lucy who's now 12 years young and Kylie is still very much Queen K, keeping us on the straight and narrow i.e. being her dutiful servants! We all went to The Lakes again in the Spring and just over a month ago and she enjoyed herself nosing around and lounging and sleeping on the bed (and trying to get into the kitchen in the B&B). The last time, we went up to Gretna too, just because it was a beautiful autumn day, so that's the second time she's been to Scotland in just over a year. She got a bit over-tired and over-excited in Gretna and when we all went out in the evening in the car, she wouldn't wait for Andy to lift her in the boot to come back to the B&B and fell out and snapped one of her delicate nails. Luckily, we were only 5 minutes' drive away and the owners run a Greyhound Trust branch too (South Lakes) and were able to patch her up when we got back. She still gallops in from outside given the chance i.e. when she slips past our attempts to slow her down, loves the sofa - she threw Lucy off it yesterday - and in the past few months, has become very tolerant of other dogs, so she has some other breed doggy friends too. I've started giving them pasta in recent months to keep some weight on them now they're advancing in years, and Kylie is like a pasta hoover. She chatters very loudly for it - which gives a change from the 'singing' for everything else - and then gobbles it up. I still don't believe she's had an accident in the house, and if she has, it was only once, but I'm not actually sure it was her. The nickname 'Bright Eyes' still very much fits and she still absolutely insists on as much fuss as possible and if there's a human hand hanging down doing nothing, it will be nudged to apply itself in fuss mode to Queen K. She goes out on her walks and toddles along well enough, even if they have to be a bit shorter now, and she does love frequent sniff stops too. Her tail is still very waggy and when Andy had to take her to the vet to get a different nail seen to a couple of months or so ago, he apparently couldn't believe she was 14 and said she was in good shape. She is still a huge character, a very positive girl and a big part of our family.
