Dewey is a little brighter than she was when she arrived a few days ago. She got off her bed and came to greet us with Willis when we opened up the kennels this morning. She doesn't like to eat out in the run but is happy to have her meal in the kennel and then come out to go to the toilet. once she is out, she does enjoy going for walks with the other dogs. :)) Xxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!

It was very hot today! The dogs went out for a walk this morning but this afternoon we got them out into the runs for a cooling spray from the hosepipe:) Helen enjoyed herself "watering" the dogs :)) We also had the paddling pool out. Eric had a great time jumping around in it :)) Most of the others thought it was giant water bowl! Richard climbed on the roof and put some blankets and sheets over the skylights in the top block as the kennels were getting so hot. 🙂 Many thanks to Seana who popped in with ready made small bags of fruit for all our residents to have with their dinner. We were quite jealous she hadn't made a bag up for us people! :))) Thanks too to everyone who has dropped in tins of meat and fish and also bedding and towels. 🙂 It was hard for everyone to stay cool and we left the dogs with the fans on. As I was checking them one last time before I went home, someone had had a little accident in Annie and Charisma's kennel. They came out while I cleaned the floor and ofcourse everyone else got restless so they all came out for a toilet break and a rub over with a cool wet towel! :)) Hope they all sleep ok tonight. Xx Xxx

So very happy that Skip is doing so well. As many of you will know, I have a soft spot for him as he was the first dog I bathed (I only went in to hand some paperwork in accepting my job) and was photographed with him, he looked great on Sunday when he came in. Hoping his full recovery is a quick one. Xx

Hello. Skip speaking. I've been very poorly again but am getting better. 2 weeks ago I had a spinal stroke. Mummy and Daddy just thought I'd pulled a muscle and was doing the GSOD. We weren't near home so Daddy took me to a local vet. Everything went woozy from then as I was given something Daddy said was methodone. To stop the pain. Daddy was told it was very serious and I might be paralysed so needed to go to see a neurologist at Willows which is my own vet anyway. I had an MRI and the neurologist told Mummy on the phone it was likely I'd had a spinal stroke. She said chances of a full recovery we're good. I stayed there for 24 hours then was picked up by Mummy, Daddy, Robert and Sam and we went on holiday to see Maisie Grey and ower Monts at their paradise caravan site. We had such fun even though i couldnt walk far and I'm on 4 weeks rest. I've had 2 sessions of physio. Mummy and Daddy have been told recovery is a slow process but I can increase my walking time. I like the physio lady. She gives me gravy bones and laser treatment. Mummy and Daddy and the physio lady have to wear silly glasses! She's given Mummy and Daddy fun exercises for me to do. Sam copies. Walking over poles and walking in a figure of 8. We're on holiday again for the next 2 weeks. Can't wait as Sam and me get to sleep on the bed with Mummy and Daddy in our own house on wheels. Yippee. I'll tell you all about it when we get home. Love Skippy Doo Dahs (as Mummy and Daddy call me!) x

A very warm day for doggies and people! We did one walk as it was too hot later in the afternoon. I actually got chance to go on three walks and had the pleasure of taking Betty Wendy and Robbie. Both girls walk beautifully on the lead. 🙂 Wendy likes to keep checking you are still there and looks up at you. Robbie, well he loves going for a walk and keeps a brisk pace...but not keen on coming back! If you like walking Robbie is for you. :)) He is a great training partner! Thanks so much to Bella, Lucy, James and Helen for all their help today. Xxx

She’s home, she’s home, she’s home and she’s brought me some dog biscuits from corsa! I thought that was a car but apparently it’s part of Frank - whoever he is! TC had failed to notice the fishes were swimming in soup and no pumping noise while mom was missing so PANIC as mom set up a new tank to save them! Seems to have worked so far, phew! Mom says we might go to see Barney next weekend, hurrah! Lubs Florence. Xx

Well my family disappeared for a week. Apparently they went on another one of those silly cruises. Don’t see the point really. Anyway they have now returned and picked me up early straight after their flight. I’m now just excited to go away with my family for a few days. We can all be together. It’s also great to see Auntie Klaire when I got home I always get so excited to see her. If all goes well Florence maybe coming over to see me soon. Barney Xx
