2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
I'm sorry to add to the sad news, but we had to say goodbye to our gorgeous Bert in the early hours of this morning. He wasn't rehomed from Daybreaks as we got. from Peterborough when we lived there. We feel like Daybreaks was his family as much as Skip and Sam's. He was over 13 and we didn't expect to see 11. He had far more than 9 lives. In the end his body just gave up and he asked us to let him go. It was all very peacefully done (after they did tests) at The Willows. We said goodnight then left the room as we couldn't be in there. Bert chose the night before holiday as he wouldn't have coped but still wanted us to go. So we're on our way to Dorset with Skip and Sam. x

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
As Angie said in her diary update yesterday, it was an emotional day but we find this makes our Daybreaks family stronger. Nervous Harry ain’t so nervous when his ‘girlfriend ‘ is around!!!! Momma and Harry have got love hearts for eyes and they prance around each other when they are allowed for to meet for brief moments as Harry is yet to be neutered and Momma is in season!!!!! Saying goodbye to Charlotte and Stanley our Friday students was sad but this pair are back in September. They have flourished in their placement and their true compassion for the dogs is clear. They gave us a lovely photo frame with 6 pics of ex inmates and it has pride of place on our desk. It really is the people and the dogs that make it a great place to be. I love Daybreaks x

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It was a sad day at Daybreaks today. We heard the news about Jack and also another old time ex resident, now both running free of pain and playing at Rainbow Bridge. Alan, Pam & Paddy then came to scatter Spritz's ashes in the memorial garden. Thankyou to them for letting Ruth, Jo and I share in the very emotional occasion - the brave, beautiful girl is now running free of pain and cares at the Bridge, playing with all her pals. Pam also planted two lovely plants in the garden which will grow and flower in Spritz's memory. It was a warm and sunny day and the doggies were able to have a walk down the shady lane this morning. This afternoon was sand run playtime and grooming & cuddling time! Bolt, Dan and Bell particularly enjoyed the extra attention they got and stood beautifully to be brushed. Not sure the boys appreciated smelling of sweet pea & vanilla at the end though!! Harry is such a handsome boy but so, so nervous. He has to be coaxed out of his kennel and is very wary of everything bless him. He did let Ruth give him a groom though, and does enjoy his food, so hopefully in time he will gain some confidence and realise that he is safe and nothing will hurt him. It was the last day today for our 2 work placement students Stan and Charlotte. They bought us some lovely flowers to say thankyou as they said they had really enjoyed their time with us. We will really miss them - sending them very best wishes for the future. Little Miss Tig went to the Vet for a dressing change this morning, then spent the rest of the day in the office. She is such a brave girl, and is being very good wearing her cone and negotiating life with an external frame attached to her leg! The weekend is upon us again, and I make my usual wish for red signs for our boys and girls. After such a sad day, give your hounds an extra cuddle tonight and I raise my glass to toast all our beauties running at the Bridge. Have a good weekend one and all. Angie xx

This afternoon we sprinkled poor Spritz ashes at the memorial garden at Daybreaks. It was lovely for Angie, Ruth and Jo to be there too. We are sure Spritz is running with the Daybreaks gang and Sara is looking after them all. I can say hello to her on my way past on Thursdays too so this was the best place for her to rest in peace xx
