2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
What a beautiful day it was today - wall to wall sunshine. Thanks to our gang of students and volunteers, the doggies enjoyed 2 good walks in the sunshine. Our crowd of helpers today also meant that we could get on with preparations in the sand run for our remembrance evening event tomorrow. We have sold almost all our tickets, yay, thank you to everyone who is coming along to support us. The weather forecast is good again so it promises to be a lovely evening. You can light your candle and this year we have special message cards you can complete to go with your candle ifyou wish. One of the prizes in the raffle is a fabulous Richard Skipworth design martingale collar kindly donated by Lynne Male. Tommy was a happy boy today as he was allowed lunch again! Elmer's post op period ends tomorrow and I am sure he will be delighted to be able to get out on a walk with his pals again - he really isn't a happy boy as he watches them all troop out of the gate without him! A quiet day for visitors - but a busy weekend ahead! On Sunday we have our Brueton Park walk, if anyone would like to take a kennel dog to give them a bit of a break and a new experience, please give us a call on 0121 782 7702. Many thanks for everyone's help today, we all enjoyed the sunshine and we got lots accomplished. As another weekend is upon us, and as the sun is shining, the white wine is in the fridge for me to raise my glass in my usual toast later - forever homes for our beautiful boys & girls. Have a great weekend one and all,and hope to see some of you tomorrow night. Cheers! Angie xx

Hello. Wendy's new owner here. You will be amazed by how well this little girl has settled in with her new friends. She is becoming more and more self-assured each day and loves following my other two greys around. She discovered how comfy the bed is earlier this week and now spends each night curled up on it!! Life of luxury!!

Sorry for the late update, due to traffic didn't get in until after 6:30 and needed to be back out by 7:30 so if my memory works here is a round up of yesterday at the kennels. Another bit of drama at the start of the day, thinking we had been locked out again, but we got in eventually. Thanks to all the volunteers who came along which meant that all the boys and girls got two walks today. Elmer was a little disappointed as he is still on bed rest, but he cheered up after a nice groom and a little wander around the outside of the sand run. Tommy was also a bit upset today, unfortunately he was a bit sick after his breakfast so we decided it might be best not to give him lunch for his tummy to settle, he certainly made his feelings known vocally when lunch time arrived. Lovely to see Ben now Billy off to his new home this morning. He is certainly a well wanted addition to his new family and has two lovely pussy cats as new friends. Thanks Jo for coming in to do the homing. Welcome to our two new work placements, both enjoyed their day and are looking forward to their time at the kennels. Richard and Declan got the gazebos put up ready for Saturday evening, hope the weather stays fine and the evening is successful. Well that's all for now, I think the kennels and the boys and girls have all survived us looking after them for a few days for the first time and really look forward to seeing Kate back next week. Hope she has had a lovely holiday and enjoyed her time with her boys and little Lyra.

Was lovely to go in this morning to do the homing for Ben, now Billy. I would like to thank everyone for covering the kennels and for setting up the stuff for our 'Let the stars shine again' evening on Saturday. The weather forecast is good so should be a lovely evening.

Tigger
I’m Homed
We took a deep breath yesterday evening and let Tiggy off the lead in a field for the first time!!!! She ran into the distance to investigate the furthest corner.... obviously to make my heart race and slight panic enter my yells of TIGGGGGGGEEEERRRRRRRR but she came back and in one piece YAY! I have cooked bacon for her tonight and we are going for round two! You would never believe she had been through major surgery on her leg earlier this year! It will take a while before I pluck up courage to let Momma off as she is so flighty but for now she gets to use the sand run at the kennels when I am able to get there 🙂

The hoomans are going on about a special day next week. But not sure what they are talking about! Unless there is food involved it isn’t that special to me! I heard the word birthday mentioned. Again no idea what that means. Unfortunately I heard another word! A word a hound doesn’t want to hear! Vet! I’m booked in for boosters next week too! Unbelievable! I need to find a way to get out of it... Lubs Barney! Xx

Well Momma, at least we know what it is. Your nose looked so much better at the weekend. Try and keep Tig from licking your Sun cream off. Tig you are completely nuts as a pup should be, but have noticed you have calmed down a little when at the kennels!

I thought I’d let you know how things are going. The vet told mom and TC that if my dressing came off after 24hrs they should leave my tail uncovered. When it did fall off on Sunday mom created a weird thing from something called ‘pipe insulation’ to stop me licking it but let air in and protect it. Uncle Jack (who came to stay with his sister Di for a few days) said I looked like I had an explosive device on the end of my tail! I didn’t really mind because they gave me lots and lots of love and cuddles! Vet was happy with moms design when I saw her on Monday, I didn’t even tremble too much - still tried to hid though! Got to go back next Monday to have my stitches out. Lovely to hear that Rosie is doing well too. Lubs to all. Florence xxx
