Maisie
I’m Homed
Decided to visit Maisie on my day off today. After she had been on her walk I went and sat with her again, this time she was unmuzzled! She was fantastic, she gets on her bed when you ask her to. I went in armed with some cooked chicken. She is a clever little girl, she knew when I put the chicken in another pocket. After chicken we had cuddles and even kisses on my nose. Before I left her, she was kissing my hands (might have been she could still smell the food)! When she finally gains your trust I believe she would make a lovely pet, albeit with an experienced owner. I will sit with her again tomorrow, can't wait to see how she does.

Such a good time in Birmingham. Barney and I had lots of tail wagging competitions and swapped beds loads of times. At Daybreaks on Thursday I saw auntie Kate and auntie Jo who brought Flloyd and the gang and we ran round and round playing in the run! Mom and I are really tired now so spending most of my time lying on my back on the sofa. Yeah ok I do that anyway..... Lubs to all. Florence xxx

Maisie

Thanks you Julie. Progress has already been made! I went into Maisies kennel several times today just to sit with her and see her reaction. She was great with me. She enjoyed cuddles, and lay across my lap. We got to the point that she trusted me so much that she came right up to my face and kissed me several times through her muzzle. Her trainer also called to see how she was, it was great to tell him that we are making some progress. She certainly is better on a harness, but today I got her in and out of her kennel without a lead. It will take time and patience but she will get there. I am more than happy to put the time and effort in to help this little girl overcome her insecurities and find her the right home. X

Hi, an update on behalf of my mum who adopted Dan (now Eddie - my partner’s name is Dan so it would have been a bit weird haha!) He’s settled in a treat - the sofa is now definitely his! He’s such an affectionate little lovebug - he follows us around everywhere and just wants constant fuss! He’s been golden on walks so far. No pulling, no chasing, has a good look at other dogs but is happy to walk on by when prompted. Absolutely just loves people! Thinks everyone is his new best friend. My mum is spoiling him rotten, nothing but the best for her baby haha 😉

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
There was a sense of deja vu this morning as it was very grey and wet first thing - however things did get better and the doggies were able to have both morning and afternoon walks, sandwiched between the showers! Bubbles was back to her bubbly self today, her tail wagged so much she wagged the dressing off and kennel mate Billy thought it was a new toy to play with! We dressed it again - and then again about 5 minutes later as she had lost that one as well! We were just locking up to leave tonight when we spotted a smear of blood on the wall - yes, she'd managed to lose another dressing! We bandaged her up yet again, and hope she goes off to her new home very soon so she can wag that tail without fear of whacking it on a wall!! Fingers crossed the dressing is still on in the morning! Little Maisie was still quite fearful of coming out of her kennel, but by using a harness we could move her around and walk her. Even over the course of the day we noticed a little improvement - Jo spent some time sitting in the kennel with her and after a while she started to approach Jo and look at her. Maisie loves her food and can be tempted with bits of ham. It will take time and patience, but I am sure this little girl will learn to trust and gain some confidence. Cach is a lovely lady and enjoyed her bath given to her by our French students. As for Dessy - wow, what a big handsome boy. He is sharing his kennel with little Annie and they seem to be getting along just fine. I agree with Kate that it is now time for Annie to find a home of her own, she has seen so many kennel mates come and go bless her. It was brilliant to see Bolt reserved this afternoon, hopefully he will be off to his new home next week. The lovely Rosie came back from her spell in foster this afternoon. She has been a very good girl in the home, very gentle with the young children and very well behaved. Lets hope she can soon find a home of her own now we know how well she does out on the world. Many thanks for everyone's help today - at least this week we managed to stay dry! Well the weekend is upon us again, time is just flying by. We have our Fathers Day walk in Sheldon Country Park on Sunday so keep your fingers crossed for some dry weather - and hope lots of Fathers enjoy a walk with the hounds. If anyone would like to take a kennel dog along please give us a call on 0121 782 7702. I will take my leave with my usual wish and glass of wine - homes for our beautiful boys & girls. Have a good weekend one and all - cheers! Angie xxx

As kennel mate Harry went home yesterday we paired Annie up with Dessy. When I checked on the cameras last night they were happily sharing the bed 🙂 We really need to find Annie a home as soon as possible before she gets a bad name....well she has had several boyfriends recently, what will people think!! :)) Xxx
