Well done Nerys, she has come such a long way in the nearly six weeks she's been at Daybreaks, just shows what potential these lovely hounds have. Cuddles for today xxx

Nerys
Over the Rainbow Bridge
The sweet Nerys came with me to Melbicks this morning. She travelled well in the car once she was coaxed in. She pulled initally on the lead but soon settled, once she was at the store she met both big and little humans and enjoyed the fuss. When small dogs went past she looked but wasnt bothered at all. Eventually she realised everything was fine and settled down for a snooze with her new roadshow buddy Cilla. Nerys is a beauty and someone will be very lucky to have her in their home.

2019 Daybreaks Diary!

It was another quiet day for visitors today, but thanks to our students and volunteers the boys & girls had 2 good walks, even if they were all blown along by the wind at times!!! As an excuse to spend some time with my favourite lad, I popped into Treaty's kennel to change the pillow case on his pillow. Well, he thought this was great fun and, after he tried and failed to take the clean one off me, he was determined that the old pillow case was a new toy to play with and throw around!! Bless him, he is such a gorgeous soul - his photo is still my phone screensaver so here's hoping it can work it's magic very soon. xx We tackled lots more tidying and sorting out, it is great to get the opportunity to be able to do some of the jobs that just have to take a back seat when you are busy or short of help. Rhaegal was a happy girl and has recovered well from her spey yesterday. Freddie has managed to split the end of his tail again bless him - fortunately he will have lots of space in which to wag his tail when he goes off to his new home soon. x Well, the weather isn't very spring like and the forecast for tomorrow is awful - but we are all raring to go for our Spring Fayre & Afternoon Tea tomorrow afternoon. Don't forget, even if you aren't booked for the Tea, you can still pop along and browse the stalls. There will be lots of great things on display, both for doggies and their humans, and it is all to help our lovely Greys. It is Friday and you've guessed it - it's wine time!! My wish is two fold today - forever homes for our beautiful boys & girls and an enjoyable and successful afternoon tomorrow. Angie xx

Can't believe another Birthday has arrived for our wonderful lad Fletch! He is six today! He has had a nice new collar and looks very handsome indeed. :)) As I write this he is laying on the sofa legs in the air and what looks like a big grin on his face. :)) We adore him; he is a big lad with a big heart. He loves Skip and Lyra. He plays with Lyra and puts up with her jumping all over him and generally being a pest as little sisters can sometimes be!! Lots and lots of love to him today and always. Xxx

Pretty little Rhaegal had her neutering operation today. She was very good in the car and she met two poodles at the vets with no trouble at all. 🙂 She had her dinner when she returned to the kennels and was soon settled on her bed. She will be going off to her new home soon. Xx Many thanks to Alan and Richard for going to the warehouse for us this morning. Thankfully the weather had improved from the earlier monsoon! Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. It was Donut day thanks to Alan :)) They were very much appreciated and cheered everyone up after getting very wet during feeding and cleaning first thing. Ruth brought Momma and Tig in and they stayed in the office . Tig was was a very good girl! Xx

I echo Rubytwoshoes comment. My Max was due to donate, but it was decided that he would not, he too has retired as he is soon 9 and would be unable to do so after this, and got his retirement present too! This is such a fantastic and worth while cause, each donation your dog makes can save up to 4 dogs. Please think about it if your dog is 25 kg or more. The blood bank will not make your dog do this if they are not at all happy. So Willow and Flloyd will carry on as long as they can. P.s they all receive a goody bag with treats and a bowl of Chappie, just like h hoomans with their tea and biscuits!

Just wanted to say thanks to the marvellous blood bank nurses. Ash was due to donate, but was very nervous, they checked his heart rate and decided not to distress him, so he had a goody bag, lots of cuddles and was retired from further requests. He is 4 and has donated twice without too much hassle, but they always put the dogs welfare first. The totally laid back legend that is Charlie also made his last donation, having potentially saved the lives of 28 other dogs! He will be 9 this year, the nurses made a real fuss of him and he received a gift of a jar of treats with a tag saying Retired Life Saver. So proud of him. Thank you Blood Bank. x

Barney
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hello everyone. Amazing to see Rocky and Jet gone! Please be Treaty and Daisy next! So last week my sister went to Crufts!!! This meant loads of things for me! Did not take me long to run off with the bags and grab everything. Of course I did my recycling with them after. Not sure how happy my hoomans were. Looked like a shredder exploded. One bag was taken off me though. I heard my hoomans say it was my birthday present. Bit early. Anyway I soon found the food but before I got into it they were taken away! Not fair they were mine! I hope they haven’t eaten my food. I tried to help them with their dinner but that didn’t really work either. They said to me that “you don’t share yours” well I believe that’s different. Why should I share! Trying to get mummy to get me a brother or sister is proving to be difficult. I won’t give up! My hoomans are going to the afternoon tea! Hope they bring me back something! Lubs Barney Xx

Over the Rainbow Bridge
On Monday our little lady went under the knife !! As before I said she had a scan and after the vets had another look they found an area that looked wrong ( easier way for me to discribe ) as no one was sure what was going on we were warned that it may be the worst outcome. Luckily it turned out she had already had surgery and the odd things found on the scan were scarring - so our little one is home she is wearing t - shirts to keep her pointy nose away from her stitches!! We don’t know why her temperature was going up but we know she is ok and guess that she had eaten something in the past that had to be retrieved!!! So fingers crossed she continues to recover as well as she is now. Xxxxx
