It is with great sadness I have to tell of the passing of Bo, on the road to the Bridge. We have spent a wonderful weekend camping at Cannock Chase, it was doggie heaven! We had a walk yesterday morning, just Bo, Amber and I before breakfast. The dogs were loving the running through the trees. We came back to the tent and Bo was fine but breathing heavily but the weather was warming up.... He ate and drank but was moaning and labouring every breath.... I phoned a local vet, I was getting concerned now and they said to take him for a check up. On arrival at the clinic Bo was checked by a veterinary nurse before the vet came in. Both could find nothing wrong except for a painful spot half way down his back so it was assumed he was in pain and this was why he was breathing heavy. His temperature was fine, his pulse was good, his heart was fine and there was no signs of anything else..... He was given two injections and I ws told to keep an eye on him. We returned to the campsite, he was getting worse so I took him for a slow stroll in the trees where there was a slight breeze and it was cooler. He decided he wanted back to the camp so we turned round back to the tent. On getting back to the tent his legs gave away, his tongue went blue and he had bubbles in his mouth, I cuddled him as he went. We are in shock as to how quickly it all happened and poor Amber is really struggling. RIP Bo, we will meet again at the bridge xxx I hope you meet up with Jay xx

So very sorry to read this Sophie. We are sure she had 7 most fabulous years with you and your family. It’s just the saddest, most heartbreaking thing when we have to say goodbye. Paul and I remember so well talking to you in Solihull before you had your first hound. How those years have flown by. I’m sure you will miss Sadie very much but she’ll always be with you in your hearts and in your memories. Much love, Linda, Paul, Lena & Peggy xxxx

Our 2nd hound Peg suffered terrible separation anxiety even though she had the lazy big brother Shaun, perseverance, time, patience and the wonderful help we received from the Kennels and our home checker Lynn Bibb worked wonders for her and allowed her to blossom into the cheeky little girl she is today. Don’t get me wrong it’s not a quick fix, it took Peg over 6 months to settle but so worth it ?? Sam you will be fine trust me, your time will come and you too will blossom xxxxxxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It's been a steady day at Daybreaks so far..... all the inmates were cleaned, walked and spent time in the sand run and then a treat of a Pawseco dog ice!!! Some were not impressed.... We still have Buster here whose owner was taken into hospital so he has had some extra TLC as he has been stressing. We've had a few visitors to use the sand run - it is great that a large part of the run is shady. Rose came to visit for a nail trim and corn removal. I spent some time clearing the pine cones and twigs from the sand run - a job that we rarely get round to - I am sure Sara will be looking down and saying 'about time too' as she hated the twigs getting stuck in Louis fur and she used to spend ages using the rake some days. Bob, witnessed by Roger, drew the winning tickets for our Easter Raffle - the winning numbers are as follows: 1st 356 (Alan and Myra) 2nd 459 (Susie P) 3rd 341 (Julia) 4th 355 (Andy) - promise this wasn't a fix!!!! 5th 423 (Aaron) 6th 463 (Mel) There are some winners we haven't been successful in reaching by the number on the ticket so if you are one of our winners, please give us a yell! With all the goodies - hot cross buns, chocolate, a massive cake (donated by Blue's new owners) and mini eggs aplenty I guess being good starts next week!!! Happy Easter everyone from all at Daybreaks xxxx

Happy Easter to all greys and the hoomans that look after us. Hope all dogs in the kennels get their forever home. Let’s hope the Easter Bunny comes to us. So yesterday my hoomans decided to take me to that horrible caravan again we all know what happened last time. I hated it but this time it wasn’t so bad. My hoomans are very proud of me and they said I was a lot better than last time. I got on well with my Labrador friends but they can be very annoying at times. I’ve go a lovely Easter egg! I’m sure it won’t last long. If I have the chance I will eat it all. I’m not allowed unfortunately. I’ve also got a cute bunny toy for Easter as well I love it! Have a greyt day! Love Barney Xx
