Am so sorry lovely boy but thank goodness you are back before you really settled. Look at the experience like a small holiday. At least you have had a change of scenery and the right owners who are able to commit will be out there to love and cherish you. Big cuddles coming next time I see you. Xx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!

Well, what can I say about today? Everything went quite smoothly for the first time we have looked after the kennels. Firstly thank you to Angie, for getting everything started before we got there this morning which meant that we had all the girls and boys cleaned and fed by 10 o'clock. Several volunteers came in today (mostly previous and new work placement students) which meant that all the dogs got both morning and afternoon walks. It was really quite pleasant down the lane in the shade today. It was lovely this afternoon to see Penny now Viola go off to her new home. She was a bit upset about not getting her dinner but I am sure her new home will make up for missing a meal. Topper and Cleo had a fun this afternoon as well, they managed to remove the entire contents of a pillow, their kennel looked just like Christmas. Nice to hear that Kate arrived safely on her holiday and hope she has a lovely time, the boys and girls will be well looked after while she is away. I would now like to echo Angie's sentiment and say I will raise my glass of wine to more red signs later, but I've already done that.

Oh dear Florence, Flloyd said there is nothing wrong with having a shorter tail, but you must listen and leave it alone to heal. Sending hugs to you, your mom and TC. Xxx

So, how’s my tail? Well - I was a teeny bit naughty last night once mom and dad had turned the bedroom light off. I snook out to the lounge and pulled my protective tube off, it was really hard but I managed. I gave my tail a really good lick, had a drink and went back to bed. Took me lass than 3 minutes. Mom and TC noticed straight away what I hard done and mom re applied the tube. She told dad I’d licked off all the skin and I’d have to have the end amputated. She was right..... this morning the vet agreed and now it’s gone. I saw the bill and it seems I also had my teeth cleaned. Maybe it was a 2 for 1 deal. Didn’t notice any off it happening. Now I have to wear a strange blue thing on my head which I can’t see out off. I don’t like it but mom says it’s my own fault. At the moment I’m lying on the sofa dozing as mom strokes my shoulder. Lubs to all. Florence Xxx

Jo was on Vet run duty this morning as it was Cindy's turn to go to be neutered. She was a bit on the wonky side when she was picked up this afternoon (see what I did there - on the wonkyside, haha!!!) and didn't want any supper. Hopefully she will be feeling more like her old self tomorrow. Pretty Penny was much brighter and ate all her meals today. We welcomed 3 work placement students from Solihull College today, they all quickly got stuck in learning the kennels routines and all said they had enjoyed their first day. The lovely weather and plenty of helpers, including volunteers from HSBC, meant the boys & girls could have 2 good walks - and all the health and weight checks were brought up to date. Big thanks for everyone's help today. This afternoon saw the lovely Wendy off to her new home - wishing her and her new family many happy times ahead. x I don't know where that week went to, cant believe its the weekend again already! We have some more of our residents heading home over the weekend, so lets hope that we also see some more red signs to take their place - my glass of white wine will be raised later with this in mind. Whatever you find yourself doing this weekend, enjoy the lovely weather. Cheers! Angie xx
