Teddy
I’m Homed
Had a call from Julie all the way from Spain today. :)) She said to let everyone know Teddy is loving his new home! He gets to go for a walk on the beach every morning; before it gets too hot and then takes a siesta on his bed underneath the air con! He has a new favourite treat...a custard danish supplied by the local Aldi store and generally lives a life of luxury. 🙂 He has already made friends with the neighbourhood dogs and is a firm favourite with the owner of the local cafe who supplies him with a pillow to rest his head while Julie and Mick drink their coffee. :)) How the other half lives!! So happy for Teddy, think about us occasionally lad especially when you are strolling along the beach! Lots of love to you all. Xxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It was another lovely day, we are getting spoilt now! :)) Ruth joined us for the morning :)) Tig and Momma looked good and Cash is feeling so much better after having extra tlc at home with Ruth and Andy. Xx We completed adoption paperwork for a lovely little girl called Amber. Her new Mom has had her on foster from another branch and we were asked to help out making her 'official' Such a very sweet girl. Most of the party remains have been tidied away, had a bit of trouble with a couple of the gazebos...could not get them to fold down!! Hoping Alan will be able to help us on Thursday.:)) Eating more of Seana's cake helped us get over the disappointment of not being able to take all of the Gazebos down!!! It' was delicious, thank you. Xx Xxx

Paige
I’m Homed
Had the pleasure of taking lovely Paige out for a walk this afternoon. She was fantastic, she walks beautifully by your side and looks at you occassionally for reassurance which I found super endearing. She's shared a kennel with Wendy for a very long time before they came into the trust and you can see how much they rely on each other. I really hope anyone looking at either of these girls would consider taking them both as they're like life companions and it would be so sad to see them split up, both girls are so very sweet and not at all boisterous.xx

Harry
Over the Rainbow Bridge
So pleased to hear Harry is getting on so well. I have a big soft spot for him - not just because he's related to my Rainbow Bridge boy Bert (who had a lovely gentle nature and lived to the ripe old age of 13 1/4). Thanks for the update. x

Update on Harry Has found his bark and waggy tail. Eating well i think he has put on a bit of weight Coat improving brushing him with conditioning spray.. Still very nervous of people when we go on walks and doesn't like the TV at all retires to the utility until its off so I take his bed in there before i put the TV on apart from that he seems quite happy.

Cach
I’m Homed
I have been taking Cach home with me for a few days and she has been the absolutely perfect house guest. She is quiet, clean in the house, can be left for several hours and is a happy content girl. She mastered the stairs in seconds after seeing Tigger and Momma bound up them too! She is a big girl and loves laying on her back with her legs in the air - a sign of a contented lass. She loves her walks so does pull a little but nothing that is too much to handle - after all she is now having walks across the fields and that is very exciting with all the smells, sights and sounds! As I go in for my operation in a couple of weeks, it will break me to return her to the kennels so I am desperate to find her a lovely new home. Please give me a call if you are interested on 0121 782 7702. The only thing against her is her age as she will be 7 in October and she has a slight limp which when she is speyed in September she will be x-rayed and the Trust will cover the costs of this.

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Another warm and sunny day! I was able to go on one of the walks this morning, I had the pleasure of the company of Paige and my own Skippy. :)) Paige was a delight to walk. Xx The dogs all had extra treats with their dinners this afternoon. There was porkpie, sausages and sausage rolls left over from the party, they all loved them. :)) There was homemade cake for the rest of us! :)) Steve brought Louis in for a visit this morning. He did a little work while he was here and met a few of the Greyhounds. They were all great with him. Xx Thanks to everyone for their help today. We have put most things away after yesterday's party, only the Gazebos to take down tomorrow. A special get well wish for two of our regular volunteers, Declan who has sprained his ankle and to our lovely Yvonne who has fractured her wrist. :(( Do hope they will both be fit and well and back at the kennels as soon as possible. Lots of love Xxx Xxx
