Murphy (Billy), I had a sneaky suspicion when we were at Daybreaks birthday party, that you would soon be getting a new home! Well done, handsome, enjoy your new life with your 2 lovely sisters. xx

An early start for Jo as she took pretty little Molly to the Vet to be speyed - think we have our own chair in the waiting room now the amount of time we spend at the Vets, lol!! We were joined today by 2 volunteers from HSBC who got stuck in doing feeding, walks and health checks. They both fell in love with our residents and were very complimentary about the kennels and the work we do there. They said they had a great day - and will spread the word about Greyhounds! Wendy was fine today and she and her kennel mate and best friend Paige are now both sporting lovely yellow post-op bandanas - and looked on forlornly as the others went out on walks! Thanks to everyone who helped out today, the boys & girls could have 2 nice walks as it wasn't too hot - in fact it even sprinkled with rain once! I did take the opportunity to take my mate Robbie into the sand run for some playtime this afternoon. He is a little star, runs and plays beautifully then comes back to you when he's ready to go back to his bed! Such a shame there has been no interest in him yet. It was very quiet for visitors so we got the chance to spend a bit of individual time in with the doggies - I think they enjoyed it as much as we did. So nice to just have some one on one time to get to know the dog and give him some undivided attention. Dessy enjoyed it so much he actually fell asleep lying on Chris!! So lovely to see Billy's sign changed to reserved, he has a lovely new home and a lovely new name - congratulations one and all, a happy ending. x Tickets for our remembrance evening "Let the Stars Shine Again" are now on sale at the kennels. We had a lovely time last year, it is not a sad evening but one where we get together to chat about happy memories, swap funny stories and remember hounds & friends no longer with us. We hope to see many of you there. Well, another week has flown by and its time again for my weekend toast - I raise a nice glass of chilled white wine to our boys & girls and hope that they all find their special forever homes very soon. Have a great weekend one and all. Angie xx

It gives me great pleasure to change Billy's status to RESERVED! And to change his name to Murphy. :))) Congratulations to our lovely volunteers Richard, Shirley and their gorgeous Greyhound girls Cello and Millie on adopting a new member to their family. Murphy is a very lucky boy. :))) Xxx

Another trip to the vet today, this time with Wendy for her neutering operation. She also five teeth removed and a small wart type growth removed form one of her front feet. Poor little Lass was quite wobbly on her return to the kennels. I had the pleasure of going for a walk with Blossom this morning. She is a very lively and bouncy young lady but walks beautifully on the lead. 🙂 Eddie came to visit us and use the sand run. He is such a happy lad! We also had a visit from Ashley. He had come in to have a pamper with Lucy. He smelt lovely when he left. :))) It was good to see Ruth at the kennels this morning :)) and Declan too :)) Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. Xxx

Lucy took Robbie in the sand run this afternoon. He had a lovely time! He loves to play with toys and does give them back to you. 🙂 Any of our volunteers who have walked him will tell you he is not happy about turning around to come back to the kennels! 🙂 He is a quiet lad and no trouble to look after. He is affectionate and loves a cuddle. Xxx

Razzle is a fabulous lad. He is a pleasure to be around and a great walking companion. I have taken him to visit the vet twice, both times he has jumped into the car and settled down straight away. He has been good when meeting other dogs and he loves a cuddle! Oh and he is very good looking too! Xxx

It was Razzle's turn to visit the vets for his neutering operation today. He is such a good boy travels perfectly in the car and has lovely manners when meeting new people. 🙂 Thanks so much to Sue for picking him up this afternoon. She said the nurses were all smitten with him. :)) He was quite happy when he got back and ate all his dinner. Xx It was cooler today, the dogs enjoyed their walks and so did the volunteers. Xx Lucy took Robbie for a run in the sand. He had a great time! 🙂 Willis has been really settled today and loved going out for a walk. He is such a lovely lad. Xxx I am writing this whilst sitting outside with Bobby, he got a little hot and decided to sit out in the garden. :)) it's so peaceful and nice to do some night time nature watching together. 🙂 So far we have seen several moths, a couple of big spiders and a tiny field mouse!! Xxx

Daddy, just came home smelling of a Greyhound, it wasn't a normal dog I know that smell anywhere that always gets me anxious, but it turns out he had, just after his beard trimmed at the barbers on the way to the co-op he had turned back to say hello to a couple with a greyhound after walking past them and it turned out to be a male called Dennis and the couple who were owned by him were visiting Bromyard for a few days and they had got him from Daybreaks, small world, I love Daddy's beard and I think he loves, me snuggling up to it, he is on holiday this week from work and decided to clean mine and Carla's bed whilst we were lying on the bed we let him use, it looked like hard work and he said something about only him doing the cleaning as we both looked quizzically about what he was actually doing " Yeah its called cleaning and not a lot of it happens in this house " he said haven't a clue what he's on about as I do the washing up with my tongue all the time , In fact I'm so eager to do this I sometimes do it before he finishes eating ...So I just laid there with Carla Watching him, you Humans are strange things, why don't you just chill? , I love the ripped quilt, I did it myself, as ever loads of love .....

Sad to see Willis come back to the kennels this morning. 🙁 He had a very settled day and enjoyed going out for walks with the other residents. Xx Beautiful Paige went off for her neutering op first thing. She is a very happy and bouncy girl normally but she found the vets rather daunting and was a very quiet little girl in the waiting room. She met a small dog and was perfect with him. She was rather wobbly when I picked her up this afternoon but she had a small dinner and received lots of attention from her friend Wendy. :)) Brilliant to see Molly reserved this afternoon. All being well she will have an older Greyhound Brother and Sister. 🙂 She is incredibly cute and a little whirlwind, I don't think they will know what's hit them! :)) We had very positive commments from people who had watched the show on Saturday. So pleased it all went well. :)) Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. We are so greateful to all our volunteers for giving up their spare time to come and help take care of our Daybreaks beauties! Xxx
