Bobby
I’m Homed
So, yesterday we brought Bobby home on trial. So far he has been amazing. Had a good sniff around the garden on arriving and immediately lay down for a sunbathe! When it started to rain later he came in and, after a bit of investigation, decided he wanted his bed down by the patio door and then he lay down and slept all evening! At bedtime we took him a quick walk for a last wee and he settled downstairs on his bed like a good boy. I was woken by a weird noise at 5.30am and found him throwing his toys round the living room! After a quick wee and poo outside he soon got the message it was too early and settled back down. He's behaved perfectly this morning on his walk, eaten all his food and the next step is seeing if he and my sons spaniel can get along together! Xx

Sid

Sid has settled in wonderfully well in his new home. We couldn't have wished for a more settled transition. He is certainly gained confidence as he's learnt our local walks and the more busy traffic doesn't seem to bother him. A big thank-you to Daybreaks and his prior Foster carers for their hard efforts. We know both Sid and Maisie are more the better and thriving together. Xxx

I cuddled this handsome boy today and he just has the most beautiful face. If I was looking for another dog, he'd be the one. I hope he gets a new home soon.

What a whirlwind of a day! We saw Truf come back from foster and straight back out to another foster. She came back with a glowing report bless her. The lovely Simba has been reserved by one of our volunteers and Bobby has gone out on trial also with two of our volunteers. Cath came with little Pod and all the residents were 'tested' to see how they reacted. Only Gal, Rocky and Robbie are the only residents who need a bit more socialisation training. We have got several viewings booked this weekend which is great. Work has been taking place this week at the kennels with new windows and doors where needed and the roof of one block is having new sky lights. We have been joined with Yeva this week, a student who has done really well and will be sad to see her go. I am off to the vets to collect Socks one of our resident cats as she has had a scan - fingers crossed she is ok.

Today is our Cash's birthday. I know she wasn't a greyhound full fledged but she was cross grey and lurcher, looked the perfect whippet. Sadly, we lost her at the age of 14 last September. She was such an amazing, cute, loving dog. I will always love her, have a place in my heart for her, miss her and never forget her! For her 15th birthday I have done a short YouTube video to celebrate. You can watch it here: https://youtube.com/shorts/QHna_tzyP1I?feature=share3 Happy birthday my angel... love you loads!!

Buddy is a great lad. He is understandably a little stressed at finding himself back at the kennels. He is a very handsome lad who has obviously been well looked after and very much loved in his home. Xxx

A busy day today...Laura had Pamper customers including the very handsome Padfoot! He had a lean on everyone! Xxx Sophie came in for her four week health check up, she looked wonderful! We also had a visit from recently homed Magic, he is doing well in his new home. :)) We are having some much needed repairs done to the kennels at the moment. Our old blue gate has now been replaced with a much higher, sturdier one. Today, one of the very old windows in the bottom block has been replaced with a brand new one. 🙂 It looks fantastic and will make such a difference to keeping the cold out this winter. Next on the list is renewing some of the panels on the roof of the bottom block. :)) We are so grateful to John the gentleman carrying out the work....Although, we did have to ask him to stop making a noise this morning as he was putting Penny off her breakfast! Xxx Richard and Declan spent a good couple of hours emptying and moving food stores around...Xxx After all the hard work, much to Richard's amazement, I made a hot drink for everyone today...It doesn't happen very often! :)) This afternoon, Alan and Declan went to collect some very kindly donated food and treats for us from Morrisons in Sheldon. Thank you so much. Xxx Thanks you to everyone for all your help today. Xxx

Buddy

I very rarely ever make a comment on a returned dog, mainly as we can never know the reasons behind the return. However today having heard about Buddy I know his owner was heartbroken and the last thing he wanted was to return him. But he made the sad decision as this was best for Buddy. I hope very much that his return to Daybreaks will be a brief one, so sad for everyone xx

Lady
I’m Homed
Lady is a gorgeous and sweet little girl. She was very wobbly after her Neutering operation on Monday...Ruth had a full house and car, so I took her home for the night. Xxx She was very quiet and absolutely no trouble at all. Xxx My three were so good with her and very well behaved, instead of their usual dancing around after dinner! I think they knew she didn't feel too well. 🙂 Xxx She has gone out on Foster while she recovers from her operation. Xxx

Well it would have been our 9th gotcha day today my darling boy, you were the best birthday present ever! We had to go and meet mia's new pre school teachers today and we were talking about her and I said about all the animals and how good she is with them and how we've taught her all about the angels and what happens etc and her teacher said 'oh yes, jet, she's told me all about him!' Now we've never met this teacher so I haven't said a word or prompted her so she must be going and telling people about you off her own back. Made me fill up but also beam with pride as I promised you you'd never be forgotten and your memory would live on forever. Love u so much xxx
