Lovely Elmer came with me to Sheldon Country Park today. He travelled well and was a pleasure to be with. He is a thoroughly happy boy, who enjoyed being out and about. He was curious about other breeds and wanted to say hello to everyone. Happy to receive lots of fuss. Such a bundle of fun xx

Cleo was much better today 🙂 Topper and Johnny were also happy boys 🙂 Xx I think sometimes we forget how uncomfortable they must feel after their neutering operations....they never complain! Xxx We had several visitors to use the run today including Digger the Staffie and tiny Hugo the Italian Greyhound. :)) Kenny spent the day in the kitchen again with Bobby, my other three were not interested in coming with me today! :)) We had a lot of visitors to the kennels and everyone came to say Hello to Kenny. He enjoyed the extra attention. Xx We sold more tickets to the "Countdown To Christmas" event next month, can't believe how quickly Christmas is coming!! Many thanks to everyone for their help today and thanks to all those who have expressed an interest in taking one of our residents for a day out to the Dog Show next weekend. It was really lovely to see Ruth today. :)) Fingers crossed she will be able to start coming to the kennels for short periods of time while she is still recovering from her recent surgery. Xxx Xxx

It was another day of dodging the showers today - but at least the doggies had morning and afternoon walks and some sand run playtime in the dry. Jo was on the Vet run this morning as it was Johnny's turn to go off to be neutered. He came back this afternoon sporting a very fetching pink bandage! It was also Topper's turn at the Vet to be neutered after a couple of delays - thanks to his new Dad for taking him and picking him up. Little Cleo was still very wobbly and really not herself this morning - but by this afternoon the lovely waggy tail had returned and she was much brighter. Our lovely team of students and volunteers meant the doggies were well taken care of today, and the tidying blitz continued! It is great to be able to get on with the tasks that have needed doing for ages - but we just couldn't ever get round too! Thank you everyone for everything accomplished today. x This afternoon saw the beautiful Sally reserved. Pending a home check she will have a lovely Labrador brother to live with. I sold the first tickets for "Countdown to Christmas " today - yay! It promises to be a great evening, so give the kennels a call to reserve your tickets. We have some great stall holders coming along, so I am saving up already in anticipation!! Well I cant believe I am typing this again - but another weekend is upon us! Let's hope that by Monday morning, some more of our fabulous Daybreaks Greys will have found their forever homes - and I will raise my glass of wine in a toast to this. Don't forget - if you have homed from us previously or are a registered volunteer and would like to take one of our residents to the Dog show on 13th October - give the kennels a call. The doggies would be very grateful and would enjoy a day out. Whatever you're doing this weekend, enjoy. Cheers! Angie xx

Cleo went off to the vets first thing this morning for her neutering operation. Many thanks to Sue for taking her for us. She was a little wobbly when I picked her up this afternoon. Bless her. Xx It was great to see Alan and Paddy this morning. Paddy brought a big tin full of Birthday Pilchard cake for all his mates at the kennels to help celebrate his recent 11th Birthday. :)) Everyone had a piece with their dinner this afternoon. They loved it! Thanks Paddy Xx Thanks so much to everyone for your help today. After taking Topper (Grayson) for his morning walk, Yvonne took great pleasure in presenting me with a poo sample from him to take to the vet! :))) Xxx

Kenny spent the day in the kitchen with Bobby, Lyra and Skip,(Skip & Kenny share the same Dad!) He was absolutely no trouble at all. :)) He went out for morning and afternoon walks. Didn't eat his breakfast but did enjoy his dinner. He is a lovely lad who would be happy in a quiet home. He may even like a four legged friend to keep him company. :)) Sending him my cuddle tonight. Xxx

Thats wonderful news Lucy!!! Really cheered me up after seeing Kenny returned. I remember him well. Such a lovely lad. Will find out tomorrow whats gone on. Anyway, many congratulations to you & hubby, Jet & Goose. Such a lovely name. I hope Mia continues to settle well and that Jet & Goose continue to be good & loving siblings!!! Fergal is looking much healthier and spends more time now with his brother than Daddy. Teddy and he are fairly inseparable so I think Melly enjoys having more 'Mummy' time once more. Not likely to get to a roadshow before next year as just so busy with work, looking after cousin Dessy who was rehomed in July & also up to my eyes now with organising all my culinary & creative contributions for selling at xmas fayre on 23 November. I am hoping I can raise some much needed extra cash for DB so keep your fingers crossed. Keep me updated on how things are going. Love to you all. Xxx

What a lovely hound Kenny is. Met him today and felt so sad for him, he seemed very down. He has a really soft coat, beautiful eyes and lovely markings. With the right family I think he will make a super pet. Huge cuddles Kenny everything crossed for you. Xxxxx

Thankfully I have perked up and feeling better. I’m now on the hunt for food which I was doing earlier and refused to eat it. No vet required thank goodness! Hopefully it stays that way... Think it’s just something I ate. However nobody knows what I ate! My little secret. Hehe! We don’t think it is serious though! Just one hem things probably. Lubs Barney Xx

Hi seana! Yes sorry should have said...mia evie eventually made her safe arrival friday 20th september! Goose is totally obsessed and wont leave her. Jet was considering packing his suitcase and moving to nannys the first night as the crying was doing his fruit in, but she's settled now so he likes her too and is loving the fact mommy and daddy are off and we've been out on nice trips everyday! We're at the seaside today so hes loved the beach! Mia has said she is going to be a roadshow volunteer too and should be making an appearance at the show with brother jet so may catch you there? Xxx
