Over the Rainbow Bridge
I am lying in my cosy bed wrapped in my duvet & snuggly blanket feeling quite dejected. I feel rather down son that you find yourself in this situation when I am comfortable. Mummy says I must not get my paws all wound up and everything will be alright. Please Auntie Kate & Auntie Jo give my son an extra big hug from me and tell him I will visit as soon as Mummy can bring me in. I know she will see my handsome boy Monday. Thinking of you son. Be brave and stay strong. We all love you. Daddy Melly Xxx

Sadly Murphy has been returned to the kennels today. His owners circumstances have changed and he has to be left on his own for several hours. He suffers from separation anxiety and is finding the new routine very stressful. He is a lovely lad who gets on well with other dogs and walks great on the lead. He would like a home where someone is at home most of the time to keep him company. Xxx

Accidentally pressed the button before I had finished. Naturally as your grandmother I am very upset and your Father is sad too. We have often thought about you and your brothers and sister and hoped that you were all very happy. I will bring Daddy down once you have settled in and we will go for a walk and a talk but till then see you Monday. Try not to worry. Everything will be alright. Lots of love from Daddy, me & your stepbrother. Xx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
I practically had to swim to the kennels this morning - boy did it rain!!! Not surprisingly we were very short on volunteers so the boys & girls just had to make do with a "wee" trip to the feeding runs this morning! It meant that I could get on with the outstanding health checks and weight checks. The weather brightened a little which signalled an influx of visitors to use the run, have pampers, buy food and drop off very kind donations of bedding and items for our various fundraising ventures. Volunteers this afternoon meant the boys & girls could get out on walks, provided they dodged the showers!! The afternoon also saw the lovely Bell reserved, hooray, and pretty little Paige bounce off to her new home. Kennel mate Wendy looked a little confused as I checked on the doggies before home time, she was sitting all alone on the very big bed bless her. Hopefully we can find her another kennel mate to share with - but a forever sofa of her own would be even better. Its wine time but sadly this week I cannot partake as I am on antibiotics for a tooth abscess, shame!! However the wish is still the same when accompanied by a glass of lemonade - that today's homing momentum continues and some more of our lovely boys& girls find themselves their own forever homes. Have a lovely weekend one and all - stay dry!! Angie xx

Sue took Eric to the vets for the second part of his vaccination today. She said he was perfect travelling in the car and was happy to lie down on the waiting room floor on the vets until it was his turn to be seen. He really is a smashing, intelligent and happy lad, just waiting for that someone special to recognise his potential! Sending him my cuddle tonight. Xxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
We had a lot of visitors today. 🙂 Thanks so much to everyone for their donations of bedding and raffle prizes. Xx We had a visit from the very handsome Will, an ex-Daybreaks resident. He came in to have his nails clipped by Lucy and met some of our girls too! 🙂 We also had another gorgeous lad called Storm pop in with his family. Who also enjoyed meeting some of the girls. :)) You never know one of them may come back for a second look! Xx Many thanks to Alan and Richard for collecting collars/leads and muzzles for us today. A new venture for the Chuckle Brothers! :)) I'm sure you will agree the new photos of some of our residents proudly wearing their Pet Blood Bank bandanas are great...thanks Lucy. :)) Xx Thanks so much to everyone who helped out today. Xxx

Annie was such a good girl on her walk this morning. She's always happy to see you when you go in to lead her up and greets you with a waggy tail. She's really ready to give her love to someone now and get cosy on her forever sofa x
