    I’m Homed

    Babe is now on foster with us - chez Locke. She’s settled well. I left her downstairs last night but she soon mastered the stairs (some minor drama getting back down this morning but she’s had more practise now!). She slept in the spare room and settled reasonably well. She’s had 2 good walks (and didn’t show much interest in the canal side wildlife), been to visit friends, been petted by passers-by and survived me cleaning the downstairs carpets this morning. And she’s decided she likes a crate (much to Kitty’s disgust as the proprietor of said crate). She’s fine with little, yappy Pod and and all our various other hounds. She wasn’t keen to get in the van but is happy to be lifted in and travels well once aboard She’s eaten well and is now snoozing.

  • Dukey

    I’m Homed

    I took Dukey to Elmdon Park today. This very shy nervous lad is often somewhat reluctant to leave the security of his kennel. However once persuaded out of his comfort zone and lifted into the car he settled and travelled well to the park. He enjoyed the experience although still showing signs of uncertainty. He met other breeds without any problems. Dukey is a quiet nervous lad who I would think would prefer a quiet rather than boisterous home to enjoy his retirement

    Yesterday we saw the lovely Smokey go out on trial and Babe also went out to Cath. Cath is one of our volunteers who attends a 'dog playgroup' and finds lots of wonderful new homes for our residents through this outlet. Let's hope Babe finds her furever home soon. On Sunday, I did some moving, sorting and being 'Ruthy Ruthless' I got rid of lots of stuff we don't need or use. I also added lots of lovely things to our Honesty Box (our little on site charity shop) full of great donated items helping us to fund raise. With all the clearing, this enabled me to set up another office area out the back as quite often we need the extra working space. This meant I could attack a lot of my paperwork without impacting on hogging the office! Casper, our new addition to the Daybreaks Family has now settled in really well. Since the devastating passing of my beautiful cat Socks, Casper has joined Tyke and she has really come out of her shell! We have never seen her so playful which is great to see - she is obviously enjoying the company of the little fella! We only do cat temperance testing on demand and currently we have Lady in foster who has 'passed her cat test'. Today the sun is shining and we are going to have a fun day with our current residents; Gal, Rocky, Dukey, Robbie and Mari and we have new arrivals coming soon.

    I’m Homed

    Oh Rocky, was so sorry to hear you're unreserved. This boy's amazing, we fostered him for 11 weeks and if it wasn't for pulling me over (I am on the tiny side) he would still be with us now. He's the perfect gentleman in the home, sleeps all night, waits patiently for his food/treats, knows his place when you're eating. Loves playing with his toys, and enjoys the garden. He's such a lovely boy, he really deserves his forever home. Whoever adopts him will not regret it. X

    Angie had everyone fed and cleaned by the time I arrived yesterday morning. :)) Xxx It was a good weather day for walking....thanks so much to Diane and Isla for giving all our residents a stroll around the sand run in the morning. 🙂 Jill and Jan were here for afternoon walks. Xxx Thanks so much to Yvonne, Shirley and Richard who all just "popped" in for things in the afternoon and ended up helping with walks and feeding! :)) And lovely Caroline who loves cleaning the runs! Xxx We are so lucky at Daybreaks to have so many wonderful people to help us...but that's because Greyhounds are so wonderful too! :)) Xxx

    LianneDaisy: I / we at Daybreaks are sorry things didn't work out with Babe but there will be a grey that will come along and be perfect for you, your son and the dog. It took myself and my family 3 attempts. First was a foster - looking at rehoming but she didnt like the look of her self in the TV and jumped at it, broke. Second was a foster over christmas but he was already going to a home after christmas. Third came along Emer (now called Penny after our previous dog Cash). Trust me... it will happen.

    That is incredibly sad to hear, I'm so sorry. You seemed so excited too. It must have been an awful decision to have to make, but it was a selfless one - doing the best for all concerned. I'm sure all the other greyhounds and lovely Daybreaks will look after her.

    Babe is the most beautiful lovely girl. Unfortunately my youngest son who is awaiting an autism assessment really didn't adjust well to her being here so we had to make a decision that was in his and also Babe's best interest. We are heartbroken because she was lovely and just wanted lots of love and attention. I hope she finds her forever home soon.

    Babe did go home, but very sadly things didn't work out for her and her family. She is a lovely girl, we are sure it won't be long before she finds her forever home. Xxx

    Well sirenmelody - it is only 136 days until Christmas - thank you for helping raise much needed funds for Daybreaks - I am so grateful. As I wasn't in yesterday, today I got to meet Mari the new arrival who came in. She is such a pretty girl and we have been told by her trainer she was a non chaser on the track and is great with young children. I am sure she wont be here longI have uploaded a snippet of her time since arriving to our Daybreaks Trust Chat Facebook page! We already have a viewing booked tomorrow for Dukey who arrived Wednesday but sadly still no interest in our gorgeous long stayers - Rocky, Robbie and Gal. I am sure their homes our waiting around the corner! It has been a very warm day and this afternoon as we were short of walkers, so the Daybreaks Guests all enjoyed a frozen peanut butter smoothie as one of their snacks this afternoon!

    With only one week to go until the Cream Tea Event dare I mention the word "Christmas"??? If you are attending the event and are one of those early birds who likes to catch the best worms then I will have crackers containing varied chocolates and different shower gels plus doggie stockings and gifts from popular brands Kipling and Yankee Candle which are not available elsewhere and all at very heavily discounted prices. All items will be heading off to 2 salons in Solihull and Harborne at the end of September so this may well be a good opportunity to get organised!! Every single penny of all my sales always go to DB which in turn helps all the wonderful boys and girls who so very patiently wait their turn for a loving home. If by chance you live elsewhere in the UK but would be interested in crackers I am happy to pay for packing and postage. Please contact DB and I can in turn make contact and provide photos etc. Thank you everyone. Seana x

    Summer returned today! We managed to take the dogs out for their morning walks, but it was just too hot to do anything this afternoon. We did our best to keep the dogs cool. Xxx Pretty little Mari arrived this afternoon.What a cute little girl! She is a non chaser. Her trainer says she can run around all day long but prefers playing. :)) Her trainer said Hello to our kennel dogs, he spotted Robbie and spent several minutes fussing him. Robbie loved all the extra attention. :)) Thanks so much to Shirley for giving Mari a bath. Richard and Declan looked after feeding the other residents. Xxx Thanks to Alan and Declan for for going on a trip to the Warehouse. 🙂 We now have some large bags of Burns Sensitive in stock. I know some people have been having trouble purchasing it recently. Xxx

    Dukey is very nervous at the moment, it's a big change in his life coming to Daybreaks. He did enjoy his walk this morning although a little scared of the traffic on the Coventry Road. He also enjoyed his meals which is great. :)) Sure he will soon settle and get used to us all. :)) Xxx
