2019 Daybreaks Diary!

Maisie had a great time chasing various volunteers around the small run waiting for her breakfast! She is quite different to the little girl who arrived last week. :)) Richard, Alan and Lucy had a trip to the warehouse this morning, but not until they all had a chocolate doughnut:) Thanks Alan, we missed you last week! 🙂 Poor little Annie had another trip to the vet this afternoon. Sadly although only a very minor injury from her fallout with Dessy earlier in the week the wound had become infected and she now has a course of antibiotics. Thanks so much to Jess for driving over to Moseley with her. Xxx Dessy is still quite stressed 🙁 His wound looks good and healing nicely. We are hoping he will soon find himself a home where he can relax and enjoy life. Xx Richard repaired our leaking tap in the bathroom and cleaned all the windows in the office. Bless him! Xx Lee and our French students gave all the residents teeth a clean and carried out some health checks too. Thanks so much to everyone who came into help today and to everyone who brought bedding and items for us to sell or raffle. All the new photos of the current residents are fab! Thanks Lucy! Xxx Xxx

Happy 1st Birthday to our special little girl! She sadly spent the day at the vets having her leg x-rayed. There is slight infection in the bone but overall she is doing really well. We are massively grateful to Chris and all at Fivelands Vets for all their help with Tig. Her surgery has been done for a fixed cost of £2600. If she had been treated elsewhere, this would have been in the region of £9,000 to £10,000!!!!! Thank you FIVELANDS!

I do feel for them. It’s awful when our hounds are poorly. I know we have to stop Lena's Previcox whenever she has a poorly tummy so let’s hope withdrawing Alice’s Metacam helps her tum and she can get her painful tooth or teeth sorted as soon as possible. Poor Alice we all just want her well again. Big virtual hugs for everyone xxxx

Well, the weather was quite good today, all dogs had morning and afternoon walks and stayed dry. Thanks Wednesday walkers and all who came in this afternoon. Very quiet for visitors. Maisie has made great progress, I went into her kennel this morning and she decided it was fun to jump all over me, spinning around, playing and generally making sure I had a good wash! She is fast becoming a favourite with us all, especially our French students. Dessy and Annie were fine today in their separate kennels after their little disagreement the other day. I think Dessy is missing some company, he does look a little sorry for himself with the inflatable donut of shame! Bubbles is such a very, very happy girl, so much so she has split the end of her tail (yes, there is such a condition as happy tail). I re-dressed her tail twice again today, it never stops wagging. There must be some force behind that wagging for her dressing to fly off. On Friday she managed it four times, the first time her kennel mate Billy jumped off the bed, retrieved it and promptly tried to eat it. Hoping she keeps it on this time, although I'm not holding my breath! Hope it is a good day tomorrow. X

Poor Alice we hope she will be feeling better very soon. Our thoughts are with Lynn & Mick too as being so far from home with a poorly hound must double the worry. Keeping fingers and paws crossed here xx

I am sitting admiring our new snow shovel! It's by the French doors waiting to go to its new home in the shed! It you would like a shovel of your very own you can adopt one from the kennels for just £1...I'm sure you will agree a real bargain! :))) x Thanks so much to Norman for taking lovely Billy for a trip to the park this morning. He had a great time and was a very good boy. His long time kennel mate Bubbles will be going home soon, it would be brilliant if he found his forever home too. Xx Nice to see recently homed Eddie (Dan) come to use the run. He had a wonderful time. He was a little nervous about getting out of the car when he arrived, think he thought he was coming back to stay! Richard,Declan and Lucy decided to sort out the store of duvets..they did a great job and all look neat and tidy now. 🙂 The dogs in the kitchen were happy to supervise! Steve has fitted a lovely new tap on our water heater. It's great, thanks Steve! :)) Thank you to everyone who brought in donations of food and bedding, so kind of you. Xx Annie and Dessy are both ok today. Dessy is a little stressed to be on his own but unfortunately we don't have anyone else suitable to pair him up with at the moment. He could really do with a home of his own with someone to love him and help him feel safe. Annie and all our other boys and girls need the same thing too...Xxx
