Spritz (Gracie)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Its with great sadness we had to say goodbye to our beloved Spritz this morning. Since the x-rays last Friday which showed that she had bone cancer our poor girl has gone downhill rapidly. We did our best with Tramadol but the last act of kindness we could give her was to help her to rainbow bridge. We are heartbroken to lose her but its been terrible to see her in so much pain. Dear Spritzy, when we adopted you we looked forward to giving you a happy loving home for years to come not just four months but we have lots of memories from that time. Thank you for all the fun times we had together and for being such a beautiful happy loving girl, we are all missing you so much. You have been so brave over the last week but this was one battle too many for you. Run now pain free with all those who have gone before, we just hope you get better luck at the bridge. Until we meet again sleep tight darling xx

Queen enjoyed todays visit to Brueton Park eagerly jumping into the car, Walked sensibly and behaved well when meeting other breeds. A lovely girl with a sweet nature.

A very sad day at the kennels...many thanks to everyone who called or popped in to express their sorrow for the loss of Sara. Thinking of her family. Xxx We had two new arrivals this morning, big lad Jordan and pretty girl Queen. Xxx Thanks to Lisa for dropping Westy off at the vets for his neutering op first thing. He was very bright when I collected him this evening and he enjoyed a nice tin of beef stew & vegetables given to us by the vets. :)) Hoping he gets s good nights sleep. Thank you so. I have for everyone's help today. Xxx

Lena

Just a quick update to say Lena is a teeny bit better than she was this time last week. When there’s enough motivation she can now get up on her own or she might just need a little help. Once up she’s wobbly until her legs start to work after five or six steps. We stay with her as occasionally she can trip and topple over but mostly she’s doing fine though she’s still on extra pain relief. We’ve got another acupuncture session booked for Wednesday so hoping this will also help as it did last week. Her back is still too sore and we love this gorgeous old girl so much all we want is to make her feel more comfortable. Thanks everyone for your good wishes xx

Hector's still with us but still looking for his forever home. He's very good on the lead, gets on well with other dogs (although has to have a good sniff at small ones as he still finds it hard to believe something small can actually be a dog!), absolutely loves fuss, and can be left for quite a long time with no problem though he is with our dogs then. Please don't overlook this lovely boy xx

Another gorgeous big boy. After his bath I walked him and he was perfect on the lead and very responsive to being spoken to. I think I might be a little bit in love. Xxx

Spritz (Gracie)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hey Stunning Spritz, I type this with tears spilling as you gorgeous, gracious girl, captured our hearts for the first time when we were lucky enough to meet (oh yes and fuss for ages!) you at Daybreaks last autumn. It was just a couple of days after that you were admitted to Willows with your nasty leg wound, when everyone following your journey was captivated by your strong will, bravery and zest for a better future.... which you clearly and most deservedly found with your new Mom, Dad and adorable Paddykins. Knowing that you ALL found each other for the most important, loved and treasured part of your journey is what Mom and Dad need to hold on to. You get our biggest ever electronic cuddle today beautiful and you are ALL in our thoughts. T&J xx Rosie & Brae send you the lickiest of licks too xx

Sara was truly part of the fabric of Daybreaks and always so chatty and helpful when I met her. I last saw her a couple of months ago and her determination to visit the kennels, despite her ill health, was nothing short of inspirational. Thinking of you all at this incredibly sad time. Mand xx

Condolences to all Sara’s family and friends, I’ll never forget our first meeting when Ruth let her loose with the till £264 !! To rehome Ronnie, thank God Ruth returned, Sara’s apology was “told you I don’t do money”:-) after losing Ronnie early this year I’d have paid it,he gave us so much pleasure and Sara always asked about him, she was a massive part of Daybreaks who I remember with fondness RIP Sara

I can't believe I will never see Sara again. She was the bravest and most determined person I have ever met. Despite her ill health and constant pain, she never gave up hope that she would one day be able to walk properly again and have another dog for Louis to play with. Xx She was unique and she was my friend...Sara, I promise not to mix the food bowls up with the water bowls! Now go and play with Charlie and Cracker, together again forever. Lots and lots of love. Xxxxxxxxxxx
