The much beloved Daisydog is 13 today. We have been together since she was 6 when I collected her one cold Sunday morning in November 2012. She brings joy into my life every day and through her I have made wonderful friends and had fabulous times. She reigns supreme at the seaside as the best dressed girl on the prom and has a very happy life. Daisydog remarks ‘ Every day I have a little drive out in the car and lots of treats - and although I am sometimes very wobbly I can still jump on the bed and have a little skip round the garden. Sending love to everyone who remembers me.....Seaside Birhday Wags Daisydog xxx

This morning started off with a vet run. Paige and Razzle had the pleasure of visiting the vets. They both travelled beautifully in the car. By the time we got back the first walk had been done. Thanks as always to our Wednesday walkers. We were very short of volunteers this afternoon, so the residents each had some fun in the sand run. Thanks to Louise and Paul for taking them in. It was very quiet for visitors too. However gorgeous Rose popped in with her mom and dad to get a new muzzle as she had managed to 'do away' with the last one. She then had a turn in the sand run. I got to meet new arrival Ringo. He is such a happy lad and very affectionate. The weather forecast for the next few days looks as if it is going to be relatively dry. Too hot, too wet, too windy, we are never happy! After yesterday's monsoon I think some dry weather is called for, thankfully the drainage held up. We have a kennel full of beautiful hounds waiting for their forever homes. If you are contemplating getting a dog, please give us a call and come and pay us a visit. We are open 7 days a week from 10.00am until 4.00pm. These dogs are so laid back and lazy, they are, despite popular misconceptions low maintenance and do not need lots of exercise. Once you have had one, one is never enough!!! Great to hear that Ruth is finally on the road to recovery, it's been a long time coming for her. Hopefully now she is 'sorted'. Love and best wishes to her, she is very much missed at the kennels, but this doesn't mean that she rushes back, she needs to take it easy for a while. X

If this boy is half as much fun as his big sister Lottie you will have a super grey who will make you smile every day.

Hi. Wonder if any of your greys have had an issue with a large amount of protein being present in their urine? My girl is currently being treated for Stage 1 Kidney Disease, however, her BUN levels and creatatine levels are very good. Thanks, would appreciate your comments.

Topsy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Firstly I would like to thank all those on the facebook page who were so kind when we lost Topsy a few weeks ago. I have never owned such an intelligent, refined, placid, tolerant dog - and my heart is broken that her passing was so traumatic (sudden collapse). In the words of Kipling I truly "gave my heart for a dog to tear". I initially agreed to let my boy (who loved Topsy and was more heartbroken than the rest of us) choose another dog which led to a visit to the Dogs Trust and a truly horrible experience (being paired with a lurcher that had serious psychological issues related to VERY extreme seperation anxiety with hyper fixation on one family member that they neglected to inform us of - the fact he had been returned twice and no work had been done by them with him to help should have been a red flag) - and we had to return him. So we will be doing what I wanted to do in the first place and looking into our third Grey.

I’ve just logged on for the first time in a few weeks and it is great to read all that has been going on at Daybreaks. I am eternally grateful to Kate, Jo and every volunteer who gives up their time to keep the place running. I went in for surgery on 15th July expecting a max 2 night stay then on the road to recovery however after being discharged on the Wednesday I was readmitted on Saturday and had further surgery on the Monday. After a spell in ITU I was discharged the following Sunday and I’m now at home with a strict 10 week minimum recovery slapped on me! I am also grateful to Denise who has had Tigger Stripy Pants for me and she has been to be spayed and had her pins removed and to Rosie who has been looking after Momma.... I am looking forward to having them back once all my staples have been removed and I have a bit more energy for the Tig monster! I can’t wait to get to the kennels for a visit which I hope to do Saturday and eventually being back fit and healthy. Ruth x

It was very, very wet today! We managed to get the morning walks done but this afternoon was a monsoon!! Can't believe yesterday we were using the hosepipe to cool the dogs down! 🙂 We had a gorgeous new arrival at lunchtime. Ringo is a lovely pleasant natured lad who absolutely loves lots of cuddles. :)) Many thanks to Jayne, his Trainer for dropping him off at the kennels. Nifty and Shiftie...sorry Cilla 🙂 came in to see Jess for a mini pamper. It was great to see them. Xx Charisma's prospective new family came to take her for a walk but because it was so wet she had a trip to Melbicks instead! She had a great time. :)) Halfway through feeding this afternoon there was a flash of lightning and a loud crack of thunder. Some of the dogs were really frightened including our own dogs. It's sad to see them all so scared. Fortunately that was all the thunder we heard. Fingers crossed we don't have anymore storms tonight. Many thanks to Richard and Declan for making a trip to the tip for us and to everyone for their hard work and for getting extremely wet all day! Xxx

Our little dew drop is much happier than the sad little girl who came back to the kennels recently. She greeted us this morning with a waggy tail and was happy to come out of her kennel to have her breakfast and dinner. She is always looking to Willis for support. If he goes up to say hello to someone she will follow. He is a real gentleman. They do make a lovely couple! It would be wonderful if they could find a home together! :)) Xxx
