Spritz (Gracie)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Today we had to take Spritz for x-rays on her hip and we collected her from the vets late afternoon. We are devastated to have to say this poor girl has had no luck at all. She has advanced bone cancer in her right hip,the x-ray looked terrible so she must be in a lot of pain. I know this isn't what any of us ever wanted to hear and its hit us hard. We have pain killers for her and we are making her as comfortable as we can but we have a very difficult decision to make very soon.Life is so unfair at times xx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Ruth was on Vet run duty this morning taking little Cara in to be neutered and have her very poorly tail looked at. It was decided in the end to postpone her neutering op, but she has had to have the majority of her tail amputated the poor little poppet. However, she didn't seem unduly worried by it as she came trotting back into the kennels this afternoon and quickly demolished a Dentastix that she found on the office floor! Well she hadn't eaten all day after all! Huge thanks to Shirley & Richard who have taken her home for a while to recuperate and help build her up a bit. Our students had a field trip this morning as they accompanied Ruth to take Tigger to her hydrotherapy session. By all accounts Tig really enjoyed her swim, and the students learned about the benefits of this type of therapy. Another very quiet day for visitors, but lots of volunteers so the doggies enjoyed 2 nice walks in the sunshine. Many thanks to everyone who helped out today. Incredibly it's the weekend again - where is the time going to? We have 2 of our boys going off to their forever homes, and some viewings booked so lets hope that more red signs appear. I will raise my glass and make my usual Friday toast - it seems to work quite well and gives me an excuse for wine every Friday!! Have a great weekend one and all - cheers! Angie xx

It is four years today since Maggie adopted us. She continues to be a total diva and I continue to love her to bits. We've had another year of adventures and she still does something every day to make me smile. I can't imagine life without her xx

Big hug for this special little girl tonight. She is going to the vets for her neutering operation in the morning. He is also going to look at her tail and decide what's the best thing to do with it. She is the sweetest little dot and loves to wag that tail! Xxx

What a chilly start to the day! Thought scraping ice from the car windows was over until next winter!! It turned out to be a good day for walking. The dogs all enjoyed getting out in the sunshine. Xx We managed to get some spring caleaning done too. Thanks to Declan, Dave and Lewis for Washing down the cover for the gazebo and putting it back up again. :)) Richard had fun cleaning out the drains! Richard and Alan did another tip run too. I just had to save a Teddy who was destined to be thrown away! I've seen Toy Story!! We had a lot of customers for the sand run today. Ideal weather for a race around. 🙂 Bobby loved running with Skip. He was quite fast too. 🙂 Xxx

Tigger
I’m Homed
The Tigger Monster has been keeping me company at home as I have not been well and she thought it would be great to help with the gardening and re-arranging plants from the garden to the bedroom..... erm.... not that I was too pleased!!!!! Today while I was at the doctors she decided the vase with daffodils looked better re-arranged on the sofa along with a wooden coaster..... can I just say that Daffodils are dangerous for dogs but she is still alive - she just played with them rather than ate them! She had x-rays on Tuesday which showed her leg growth plates are almost closed so her op has been been scheduled for the 21st May. She is going to hydrotherapy tomorrow which will hopefully wear her out - keep your fingers crossed for my sanity!!!!! 🙂

Keeping fingers crossed it’s just a sprain. Lottie can go lame when she over does it.

Poor Spritz. Sending her a big hug and hope her Xrays go ok for her. Is this the same leg that had the injury when she came back into the kennels? xx
