Gorgeous little Mari, now called Myrtle, has gone out on trial today! We wish her luck (although we don't think she needs it!!!)

Mari made it very clear she didn't want to be left alone yesterday so I spent some time with her in her kennel. On entering she showered me with licks and kisses. She then wanted to play a game of going behind me and squeezing through a tiny gap at my side by the wall to jump to the floor. Then she put her paw on my lap. Then settled with her head on my lap. She is so gorgeous. I can see why she's been reserved. If I don't see you again before you go home, be happy sweet girl. x

Robbie

Took Robbie out for a walk to Brueton Park yesterday and he had a lovely time. He travelled well in the car and easily settled. The park was quiet so we didn't come across too many dogs or people on our walk but Robbie was extremely well behaved. When it started to rain we sought refuge in the park cafe and were joined by 5 other dogs. Although interested, he didn't bark and was quite happy to sit and watch what they were doing. When the rain stopped we went back to the car and he walked on a loose lead next to a Collie whilst we chatted to the owner. He was a pleasure to take out and we look forward to taking him out again soon xx

Maggie met a small dog today. She needs properly small dog testing but indications are she may be small dog friendly or at least trainable.

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
A busy day today...Thanks so much to Angie for feeding everyone and cleaning all the kennels this morning. :)) We had visits from Penny and Izzy for health checks. They both looked absolutely wonderful and were very happy girls. Loving their new homes. :)) Laura had lots of clients for pampers and nail clipping. Xxx Maud came in with gorgeous Smokey, now called Brian. He is currently out on trial with her and doing really well. He wasn't keen on getting out of the car when he arrived, but after a few cocktail sausages he decided to come in and say hello. :)) Thanks so much to Maud for all her help at the kennels today. Robbie went out for a lovely trip to the park with Kitty and her family. He had a supper time and they said he was such a good boy. :)) They also took Rocky out for a play in the sand run. He was very happy to see them. 🙂 Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for your help today. Great to see Patric back on a Saturday morning! :)) Despite the heavy rain showers, everyone went out for walks this morning and this afternoon. :)) Jess came in with Koda and helped Dukey meet a small dog, he was very good. Fingers crossed he may have found his forever home. :)) xx Our longer stayers, Rocky, Robbie and Gal are still waiting patiently for their forever homes. They are all fabulous dogs...hoping their special someone will soon come along. Xxx Xxx

Today is Belle's gotcha day. Three years ago today our beautiful Belle came to Daybreaks and I just happened to be there, right time right place. She followed me everywhere and made certain she was to be with me forever. Tonight to celebrate it was roast chicken and our usual snuggles on the sofa with Sammy as well. Those three years went by so fast and what a lot of achievements in that time, recently passing her Good Dog Citizen gold award. Not a bad bone in her body, she loves everyone she meets, we are very proud of her xx

Martha (Babe)

More progress to report for the lovely Babe. She was left for 4 hours today. I kept checking in via doggy spy cam. She was mostly relaxing in her crate, sometimes standing up in her crate but no noise or distress. Obviously her ultimate home will need to build up to this like we have but it shows she can be left for a good period if you need to. She’s started playing with toys a bit too. She’s not certain she can have them and tends to do a stealth grab and flits off with them. She’s eating well and her kennel coat is coming out to reveal a truly shiny hound.
