2019 Daybreaks Diary!

This is Razzle! Kate told me she was feeling a little tired when she left the kennels tonight and asked me if I would cover the Daily Diary tonight! I am delighted to do so.... Breakfast was good, Shirley was in charge. :)). I unfortunately made hard work for the cleaning staff as I left a present in the kitchen run for them and ran around in it too, oops! My kennel mate Penny doesn't seem to mind my "messy" habits! :)) We had lots of lovely volunteers to take us for a walk this morning. It was warm but we all had our wet coats on to keep us cool. Disappointed not to see any squirrels though! Lucy had Seana's family in for pampers. I watched Teddy, Mel and Fergal all having to have a bath from my comfy bed. Didn't look like much fun to me, but I guess they did smell ok afterwards, if you like that sort of thing! A new inmate arrived at lunchtime. His name is Ben, he had all the ladies swooning over him, telling him what a handsome boy he is!! He had a bath too! Penny and I greeted him with waggy tails. :)) Most of us had a second walk this afternoon as it wasn't too hot but then the sun came out again and those who hadn't had a walk had a play in the paddling pool. Dewey and Tommy showed off their ball catching and retrieving skills...I must admit I had a few squeals and barks because I wanted to join in! 🙂 I understand we have two more new arrivals tomorrow....both girls. I wonder if they will be as pretty as my kennel mate Penny? Xx Well, that's it for today! Best bit for me was the malted milk biscuit Kate gave me and Penny before she went home. She says it makes her feel better about leaving us as we watch her close the gate. Xxx

Awwww. Another youngster. Very slightly younger than my Sam. If you're anything like my Sam you'll be wondering at all the strange things in the world but will soon adjust. You're just a puppy. Adorable. I wouldn't be surprised if you're adopted before I return from holiday! Good luck sweetheart. x

This is another lovely girl who has come on leaps and bounds in recent weeks. She happily accepts cuddles and does love a good race around!! Hopefully her forever home with preferably an experienced sight hound owner will not be too far away. She is just waiting for her chance to blossom & shine. X

Dewey (Dew)
I’m Homed
This little girl has come such a long way in a few weeks. When I first met her she would stay on the bed showing no emotion although she let me stroke her & take her into the sand run. Today she was bouncing at me, wagging her tail & much more confident!! She allowed me to watch whilst she ate & she & her hubby Mr. Wills walked beautifully for me. They are a perfect pairing and if my house wasnt full I would have them both in a heartbeat!! I think it would be very unfair to separate them and so hopefully there is a home out there that can accommodate this lovely couple. Well done Dew Drop....keep up the good work. Xx

It was unusual Bank Holiday weather today....the sun was shining all day! :)) Molly is now officially adopted! We wish her a very happy life with her two Greyhound buddies Xxx We had several lovely visitors this morning. Seana came in to help clean and feed and brought her fab threesom Mel, Teddy and Fergal, who is looking a lot happier since he has had his dental. 🙂 Then we had a visit from Charlie, his Mom brought him in for a pamper. He looked very handsome! He is a very sweet lad. Xxx Next to pay us a visit was Gorgeous George! Wow what a difference...when he came into the kennels he had a bad split at the end of his tail and he looked a little rough around the edges. He certainly is absolutely stunning now and his tail has healed beautifully. His Mom and Dad say he is perfect. Xxx We had a viewing from a family looking for a cat friendly Greyhound, we did test out latest new arrival Penny, but sadly she didn't pass. It was a very hot day again, so walks this morning and fun in the runs with the paddling pool and hose pipe this afternoon. I saw Dewey fetch the ball out of the water and bring it back! :)) Maisie apparently decided it was a good place to have a wee! :))) It has been difficult trying to keep them all cool. Many thanks to everyone who gave up their Bank Holiday to help with the dogs today. You are all so kind. We are expecting a new boy tomorrow....he is only two years old, so just a puppy! :)) Xxx

Ok, so today I am going to try and do my post before I lose it like last week! It was already getting really hot by morning walk time. Thanks to Nick and Martha, Ruby Rebels parents for coming in to do walks. As it was so hot the dogs had a nice stroll along the lane to the farm and back in the shade. This afternoon it was paddling pool and hosepipe playtime, way too hot to even contemplate a walk. Some were less enthusiastic than others. We did have a real surprise with one little resident. Despite being very shy, gorgeous little Dewey decided she liked to play fetch with a ball! She was clever enough to work out if it was thrown into the pool she could put her front paws in the water and with one pull the ball towards her and get it back out. She was so cute and really enjoyed herself. Kennel mate Willis just watched in amusement, especially when he realised she wasn't about to give the ball up to him. Maisie had to have her turn last as when she has had enough splashing around in the pool she wees in it. Lovely. Very quiet for visitors, only one couple to buy food. I did try to press them into having another dog but hey ho! Can't win every one. The dogs were settled this evening with lovely fans on to keep them nice and cool. Hopefully some of our reserved hounds will go home this week meaning some more of our waiting list dogs can come in and wait for their well deserved forever homes. Well tis now wine o'clock, nice glass of chilled rose (sorry Angie you may need to patent your sayings)!

Robbie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
So happy to see Robbie go home yesterday. He couldn't quite decide where he wanted to sit in the car. He started off in the boot then changed his mind and had his front legs on the passenger seat and his back legs still in the boot! He did look funny :)) eventually he settled for sitting next to his lovely new Mom in the passenger seats. Xx Do hope he is being a good boy for them!! Xxx

Saturday....so sorry for the belated Daybreaks Diary! It was so lovely to see Ruth for a while yesterday! She looks so much better than the last time I saw her. :))) Momma came along too. 🙂 Eric's Mom and Dad came to sign his paperwork. Such a very special lad. Xxx It was great to see lovely Robbie go home too. :))) Hope he is being a good boy. Xx Thanks so much to everyone for all their help yesterday. It was really warm so afternoon walks were cancelled and out came the hosepipe and paddling pool again. Xxx Xxx

Toney

Tony continues to love his walks, he is like a machine, just keeps going and going and he just loves being out and about. Ripple does her best to keep up and they have walked more than twenty miles this week, in total. Early walk this morning as it was already 20 degrees at 09.00. Wish we could still pop in and see you all, they miss their pamper sessions.
