Well Honey G would never have guessed this outcome. Well done girlie and if I am not mistaken (hopefully) a sister to play with. X

I had the pleasure of speaking to the lovely people who have reserved Elsa, I also mentioned Annie as being our longest stayer. Hopefully if Elsa and Annie pair up well they will have their forever homes with very experienced greyhound owners. Hoping all goes well. X

So glad for Annie. When we visited she was on our four dog shortlist but the poor poppet was just petrified despite our best efforts to win her over. On the upside it meant we ended up choosing Betty.

2019 Daybreaks Diary!

OMG!!!! Not 1 but 2 long stayers plus a newbie with a home to look forward to. A little tear of pure joy is falling. I have been so worried about little Annie. She has been passed by for no real reason but chances comes to all those who wait patiently & wait for their chance to shine. She has certainly done this without complaint. I am so glad I was unable to do the roadshow with Honey G today as she might have missed her chance!! And shy Elsa, bless her. She will have a short stay but being shy its probably better she gets into a stable home asap. And so its goodbye to most of our regulars and hello to the next generation of residents who will wait patiently. Just need that special home for Willis & Dewey now. Well done everyone!!! I look forward to hearing all about the new homes over the next couple of days. X

Thanks Angie, I prefer the dynamic duo, although I do have to admit by the end of the day we were wet and bedraggled so, yes gruesome twosome may have been apt! Our current residents are such wonderful characters, especially Maisie who since day one has had a 'real thing' about my phone! Very strange with it being so quiet, even stranger sitting down to have lunch, a rare thing indeed! Thanks Angie for the lovely soup and bread, it was gorgeous. More viewings booked for the weekend, hoping for some more great red and green signs. We seem to be on a roll now. X

I just found out that my sister has been at my favourite place but I looked at my food bowl several times and she wasn’t there but then I discovered she was on about the horrifying building where these people check you over and scare you to death. Not fun. Don’t understand why she wanted to work there for a week! Barney Xx

Thanks Auntie Kate, mom keeps trying. Having watched it go backwards and forwards for a bit I don’t think the lawnmower would be that much fun, I’m sure a greybrother or sister would be much better. Xxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Well, there's quiet - and then there's today at Daybreaks!! Most probably the dire weather forecast yesterday, but we didn't have one single volunteer - so that left Jo & I as the dynamic duo or the gruesome twosome, whichever you prefer (sorry Jo!) The weather also kept away the visitors too, so we had a very lonely day! The rain held off this morning so I could take all the boys & girls one at a time for playtime in the sand run. We had great fun, and it is lovely to see all their different personalities and the way they enjoy their off lead time. Wendy was a little unsure and wasn't very keen on running around off lead, so we had a walk around the perimeter on the lead and she was much happier. Don't think the wind gusting through the trees helped much. Little Dewey loved having a run round, as did Annie who kept throwing her own toy for herself to catch!! The 2 new girls Maggie & Elsa are absolutely beautiful. Elsa had a good old race round, as did Maggie, but they both let me know when they'd had enough by coming back to me and "leaning". As the rain set in for the afternoon Jo & I took the boys & girls into the feeding runs for "wee" time then we did some grooming and playing with toys. It actually made a nice change for us both to be able to spend some good one on one time with all the doggies - giving them some TLC and getting to know them and their funny little ways. Honey G was determined to play with the grooming brush - and Maisie was equally determined to get Jo's phone out of her pocket!! Well another weekend is upon us, and we have a Melbicks roadshow and both days - let's hope the weather improves and encourages plenty of visitors, both at the roadshows and at the kennels. Today's tipple is going to be a drop of brandy, purely medicinal of course after getting cold & wet!! But it is still raised in a toast to our beautiful residents, with a wish that forever sofas will soon be theirs. Happy weekend one and all- cheers! Angie xxx

My sister has been out everyday this week! She comes back very late each day. She just disappeared so when mom came through the door I greeted her for a few seconds and went straight past her looking for my sister. I hoped she was with mom but no. But nearly two hours passed and she returned home. Boy was I glad to see her! Daddy isn’t very well so I’m trying to be Dr Barney but I can’t really do much apart from squash him and love him! Sister Samantha keeps asking for another grey so I have someone to play with. She asks everyday but mom says no room. Hopefully she will give in at some point! Love Barney Xx
