2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
A lovely warm dry day, all dogs had morning and afternoon walks. Thanks to our Wednesday walkers and our afternoon volunteers. We too had a tracker that decided to fly off over a fence! Paul managed to findit on the next walk. Thanks Paul for fighting your way through the rambles and stinging nettles, armed with two seaside spades!! Thanks to everyone who came in with donations of bedding, fish and items for our donation table. It is very much appreciated. If you can spare some tins of fish (in oil or tomato) or tins or trays of dog food our residents would be very grateful. It nice to see Ruth's little strips pants Tig, she spent the day in the office, she is currently having a little holiday with Denise and her Charlie whilst Ruth starts her recovery. Lots of lovely dogs are patiently waiting for their forever homes. Annie and Eric are currently our longest stayes. If you are tempted by any of our beautiful hounds, give us a call and pop in for a look, you never know......

Dewey (Dew)
I’m Homed
Just looked at her data and she's half sister to our Skip! That being said, Vans Escalade was a prolific sire and has many offspring! We were discussing this on a greyhound forum yesterday (Retired Greyhound Chat). There were a lot of posts from people whose greys' Dad was Vans Escalade. Dewey is such a sweetie. She was really shy when we took her into the sand run a few weeks ago. I walked her on Sunday and she walked beautifully. She even walked independently from Willis some of the time although it's evident she adores him and homing them together would be amazing. Fingers crossed that won't be long. x

Happy birthday for yesterday Ruby Rebel. Sounds like you had a fab day. I thought it was only Skip and Sam who "found" treats in the office 😮

No stopping Eric yesterday. Despite a tremendous downpour, he walked happily along (now much easier on the lead) and loves being out and about.

Ruby Rebel 5th birthday meant 4 walks yesterday. Did breakfast walk as normal, then went to Daybreak's to for 2 more walks, then finished with a park walk with furfriend Floss. At the kennels Ruby walked with Ringo and then HoneyG. As an experienced ex-resident, he sensed the weather and missed the rain downpaw, spending fun time in the office instead.

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It was a very busy day with a visit from The Pet Blood Bank. Along with several donations from pet dogs we had donations from Daybreaks residents Bell, Honey G, Bocko, Razzle, Robbie, Willis and Tommy. All very brave.. :)) The Pet Blood Bank will be back in October. if you are interested in your dog becoming a Blood Donor please contact them on 01509 232 222 for more information. Lucy took some lovely photos of the dogs wearing their Pet Blood Bank bandanas including the one of Bell and Honey G on our diary page. :)) The weather was very unpredictable today, hot and sunny one minute and a monsoon the next. Unfortunately our walkers this morning got wet more than once! Gill, Nick and their two walking companions came back from their walk absolutely soaked, but not entirely the fault of the rain. A truck had managed to drive through a large puddle at speed which resulted in the water being deposited onto all of them! They were very hardy and went on another walk. :)) Nick had left Ruby Rebel in the office while he went for a walk. I went in and discovered my Milky Way half eaten and on his bed! Xxx:))) We had a missing Tracker...it decided it wanted to spend the day in Old Damson Lane. Despite several search parties armed with a phone with the Tracker app on it and the sound and light activated on the missing tracker it remained missing in action until this evening when Richard and Declan finally found it in a puddle happily swimming around! It is now safe and well and on charge!! :)) Many thanks to everyone for all their help today. So very much appreciated. 🙂 Xxx

Dessy

Dessie is just coming up to 3 weeks in his new home and he is doing really well. Settled in well at home and relaxed in the office too, currently sleeping under the desk. Not great with other breeds yet, so I am looking for anyone with greyhounds that might offer a doggy day care maybe just a couple of days a week. I have found a kennels that would but I can't see him loving it and he is really a lovely boy. anyone who might be able to help with a greyhound friendly day care, I would be really pleased to hear from you 07957 671 749 - thanks

It was great to see Betty go home today. She was very excited to see her new family and couldn't wait to get in the car and start her new life with them. :)) Really hope all goes well and Claire, her previous owner can relax knowing Betty has a lovely new home. Xx We had enough walkers to make sure our residents had walks morning and afternoon today. It was a nice day but not too hot. 🙂 Charisma's new Mom and Dad came for a quick visit to see their little girl. They were just passing and couldn't resist popping in to say hello to her. Xx We had a visit from a past resident the very handsome Tommy. He came for a mini pamper with Lorna. He really wasn't impressed to have his nails clipped! We had to feed him a constant stream of treats to take his mind off what was happening to his feet! Bless him. :)) Thanks so much to everyone who helped out today. It was brilliant to see our lovely Yvonne back at the kennels today after breaking her wrist a while ago. She was very happy to be cleaning the kennels again and Razzle very obligingly supplied the poo to clean up that she has been missing so much!! 🙂 It's Pet Blood Bank day tomorrow! Xxx

Bell is so excited to go out for a walk. She's a lovely girl who doesn't sell herself very well at the kennels, but really loves human company. I think she'd thrive kn the right home. Xxx
