Daisy

Great new from the New Forest from Stanley and Daisy. Daisy will be 6 on Saturday 1st June (Tim has made her a card!!!). She has been with us for 9 weeks now, seems longer. Stanley suffering with arthritis. Tim is walking separately, shorter and softer for Stanley who is now on CBD oil. Stanley and Daisy get on fantastic, rub noses and she licks his ears and feet (Spanner - mine too!!!) when he is lying down. She has made great progress with getting used to all the new dogs and breeds we meet, but small fluffy ones she is a bit too interested in at the moment. She is very affectionate to anyone visiting (shame about the hair loss), also if we meet people without dogs. We got her a Julius K9 harness, thank you Kate, seems to calm her and gives me better control. Unfortunately the first time she ran in the garden after 1.5 weeks ? hurt/damaged rear left leg and pad of right leg, 3 visits to vets. Been on lead ever since. However yesterday took her to Racing Kennels near Romsey and they really checked her over before running in the sand. No real problems, a little bit of scar tissue from racing days (and possibly when she jarred herself when running in the garden) we are very relieved. We hope that all the Greys get their forever homes/sofas soon. Lots of love Stanley, Daisy, Tim, Sue and Spannerxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
The weather couldn't make it's mind up today, that was until this afternoon when it decided to rain! Thanks as always to our Wednesday walkers, and we had a couple of extra volunteers too, thanks to them also. I spoke to Willis's mom, he is doing really well, apart from not wanting to get out of the car. I normally find it's getting them in that is the problem! Fairly quiet for visitors, little Scarlet came in for a pamper with Jess, she too has settled well. Harry is getting very brave, he is such a lovely boy, I did try and convince Reggies dad that they would make a lovely matching pair, not sure that worked! I brought 2 of my hounds in, Arry, who has settled in brilliantly, he is such a good boy and gummy bear Max. Max had a dental last week and sadly has not a tooth left in his head bless him. We are getting ever closer to our 13th Birthday party, this is being held on 30th of June at the kennels. We will have picnic bags and games for both humans and dogs. Please come along and help us celebrate, we are keeping our fingers crossed that the weather will be as kind as it was last year. We will post more info nearer the time.

I wonder if Busters new mum was the lovely lady Sue and I were talking to at Pets and Home Stratford, she was looking for a slightly older dog and we were singing his praises.

2019 Daybreaks Diary!

After a busy day yesterday it has been much quieter at Daybreaks! Thanks go to our fabulous volunteer team who cleaned and fed the inmates whilst I started the day off with a trip to Fivelands to take Honey G for her spey. Following a viewing yesterday, the family came back today and reserved Buster - we are over the moon as he is a fabulous boy and he is off to his new home in a couple of weeks. Harry is getting braver every day and was brilliant for Shirley who did his health check along with Bocko. Again, thanks to our volunteer walkers who came along to give our residents a walk and Buster got to spend some time in the sand run as well too. Belle moved kennel yesterday and is now sharing with Eric and being less grumpy and learning to share. She is definitely happier with company. Tig is continuing to do really well since her operation a week ago and is letting me clean her pins without fuss now.... she is such a brave girl. I am off to rehearsals tonight and with our show next month we are just polishing off our acts! If you would like to come along, there are still tickets available. Money raised from the ticket sales is supporting Daybreaks Trust and we are hoping to raise enough for the new fire alarm system we are looking at installing at the kennels so your support means a lot. Thanks so much, Ruth x

Happy 1st gotcha day to our boy Ash who came into Daybreaks having been sold on gumtree! and we became failed foster parents. It's been a challenging year! The funniest was his reaction to seeing the sea for the first time. Treats in store my lovely boy. Xxx
