Cara

Cara has been with us for two days now, so thought I had better give an update on her. When we brought her home on Thursday, she had just returned form the vets, but was really quite lively. Poor little soul has had to loose most of her tail, only has a little stump left, but was not neutered as vet wanted to wait rather than put her through both procedures at the same time. She is an inquisitive little girl, looking into everything but so far not been destructive in any way. Likes to follow you about to see what you are up to. She doesn't seem keen on being left on her own and has cried at night until one of our three when downstairs to keep her company, but then settles down. Just left her with Cello, not in cage or with muzzle while we walked our other two and everything was fine when we got back. She has been clean in the house, soon learnt where the door is and lets us know when she needs to go out. She will need to learn some manners when it comes to food, although from what we have seen so far I think this is something she will be able to learn. Not seen enough other dogs or cats on walks so far to be able to comment. One little apology to any new home, we were not going to encourage her to climb the stairs, but being a clever little girl she has worked it out all by herself. All in all I think she should settle into a home well, but would probably enjoy some company, both human and maybe another grey.

I really don't know how to even start writing this post but today I received the devastating news that Sara Pillinger, one of our much loved volunteers passed away suddenly. We are all absolutely shell shocked and for those of you who knew her, knew that she was a massive part of the kennels and had been since the kennels opened. She was an inspiration to us all with having such resillience and humour despite the tough times that she went through but she brought so much to us and I know in return Daybreaks gave her a lot back. We are numb - she was in yesterday volunteering and to know she will not be there again, is too much for us all to take in. Louis her collie who came with her will still visit the kennels and all we can do is remember her, remember her strength and keep smiling as she did..... Sara - I know you are with Charlie and Cracker now.... Rest in Peace Cupcake..... As Sara always said... KOA SOF xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I've uploaded a new pic of Tessa who has settled well in her new owners house.... She is living with a cat, hence the muzzle for precaution for now 🙂

As Ruth said earlier it was a very busy day at the kennels today. :)) Everytime Ruth finished one homing another dog was ready to go home! We also had several viewings which resulted in Blue being reserved and a couple of other possibles. 🙂 Sara and Louis were in today. Louis was put to work being introduced to some of the Greyhounds to see how they got on with a "fluffy" dog. Blue, Pearl, Eric and Westy all did really well with him. Arthur came to the kennels for a pamper with Jess this morning. He bumped into Mikey his litter brother who was just going off to his new home. Don't think they recognised each other! Thanks so much to every one for their help today! Xxx
