A very quiet morning for walkers...but lots of help this afternoon. It was cold but a lovely day for a walk. :)) Richard and Declan went to collect donated bedding from a place in Coventry's Canal Basin this morning. The van was crammed full of duvets, pillows, sheets, blankets etc. When they returned 🙂 We are so grateful for the donation. Xxx Thank you also to the lovely family who donated bedding and helped to walk the dogs this afternoon. Xx Lola's new family came to visit her this afternoon, she enjoyed all the extra attention. :)) Lola will hopefully be going home next week. Xx Gorgeous little Wilma went home this afternoon. She was a very happy girl and a,though needed a helping hound to get in the car she couldn't wait to get in and be off to start her new life! :)) Xxx Thanks so much for everyone's help today! :))) Xxx

Oh Barney, didn’t we have fun! Mom told me I was going to see you but I didn’t believe her, especially as we travelled for 8 hours and picked up Rosa on the way. I loved seeing you all and swapping beds and hoomans for fuss and love. I think you won the ‘waggiest tail’ competition and I won the ‘waggiest tail with a milk carton attached’ competition. Can’t wait to see you at Christmas. Paws crossed that your dad says you can come. Lubs to all, Florence xxx

A little chilly today! :)) We had lots of lovely volunteers so the residents enjoyed morning and afternoon walks and didn't get wet! Norman and his Grandson Jake took Drew for his first trip to Brueton Park this morning. He looked very smart in his "I need a home" vest. Norman said he was a good boy although quite excited to meet other breeds. Xxx I visited ex Daybreaks resident Steffi and his family this afternoon. He is such a very lovely, happy and friendly lad. It's always great to see lads and lasses after they have been homed. It really brightens up the day!! :)) Thanks so much to everyone for your help today. :))) Xxx

This weekend was AMAZING! Friday night we went on a super long drive. It was 4 hours! I didn’t know where I was but I saw Auntie Klaire and started to get really excited! Then I saw Florence when I got inside! Was great to see you again! So we spent the weekend at Uncle Robert’s house with cousin Acer and her new boxer puppies. Sister Samantha wanted one but we wasn’t allowed! We had a great time and yes we played Musical Beds and Musical Dinners which is where we swap dinners with each other! Haha! I loved the garden it was just like a massive field that I could run around in for ages! It was amazing! I had to tell Acer off a few times as she did get a little too much at times. I would just like to say how much my confidence has grown. I was a very good boy and I came up and asked for fuss and walked around. I even was confident enough to try and steal food when I could. The hoomans are so proud of how far I have come with my confidence and they are so happy I am improving! They have helped me so much! Anyway it was such a wonderful weekend and I miss it. It was so great to see Florence and Klaire and I really hope we meet up soon. Hopefully it will be at Christmas! Lubs Barney Xxx

Drew
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Drew has today paid his first visit to Brueton Park. He jumped into the car on his own and traveled quietly to the park. He did find meeting other breeds a new experience and although not aggressive in anyway he did become very excited and bouncy. He walked sensibly apart from those occasions with myself and my 9 year old grandson holding a sliplead. His behaviour with children was excellent. He is a friendly dog towards humans but needs sometime to adjust to the big outside world.
