Molly
I’m Homed
I had a telephone call this morning from the owner of Molly who sadly needs to find a new home at the age of 10. For people to understand why, I asked Molly's owner to write her reasons for this as below. With every dog we rehome, we will always take them back and she will be back with us as soon as transport is arranged. Molly's owner told us: We fostered Molly 5th June 2018. We were her first Home initially in Birmingham, she has had many happy Moments in our house with lots of love shared from our little family. Molly has enjoyed the freedom of our large Garden In Weymouth, Beach walks although she still isn't comfortable around other dogs. She is used to having someone home to catering to all her needs during the day. Feeling content in her Bed so long as you're there to let her out, or share your biscuit. She doesn't demand much as a pet. In 2019 we moved to Weymouth, Dorset, a different lifestyle for Molly, although she wasn't sure of the sea and pebbles under her paws. She has enjoyed walks around the area. I would say that Mollys reactions to small dogs hasnt changed, she can be barky if not sure of the other Dogs. She loves Male company, quite embracing sometimes as you would think she is not loved or spoiled by myself. All the builders have enjoyed her embrace and welcome. She's definitely not a guard dog, a biscuit or treat and she's yours! Life changed in 2020 my Husband Simon was Diagnosed Lung cancer and 2yrs later sadly lost his battle May 22. We all noticed Molly's behaviour was withdrawn and although she would respond to guests she looked sad, she homed in on my Dad who was also at home and often shared his digestive and some of his Sandwich at lunch. Sadly he has just passed away recently. Our home life and dynamic has changed in the house, i've got two young Teens who are soon starting University and others carry on with schooling. I'm working Full days. The greatest sadness is that I can't give Molly the time and attention she needs. This is very upsetting for me and the children. It is with a Heavy heart I have to make the Decision to bring her back, I'm sure she is the perfect Dog for a couple who doesn't want a demanding dog just one that will fuss and love her mostly a sleepy dog. Medically Molly is fit; there hasn't been any reason for her to require medical ongoing treatments. In April 2022 Molly had 22 teeth removed due to decay other than this nothing else. She's vaccination and worming treatment is up to date. If you are interested in offering Molly a home, please get in touch with us asap.

I took little Gypsy to Fivelands this morning for her spey - Before going to the vets, we collect a urine sample and the little minx was too busy playing to want to wee so we were late getting to the vets! She stood up all the way in the car, looking out of the window and happily trotted in bless her. Kate went to fetch her this afternoon and although she is settled in her kennel, she has understandably lost her bounce for the moment. She is such a sweet girl and is off to her new home on Thursday x

So happy to have Ginger in our lives. She is a loving, sweet girl and is really gaining in confidence. Loves to play in the garden and meeting her greyhound friends and other breeds on her walks.

Josh
Over the Rainbow Bridge
This is an update from Josh's foster family: Joshy has settled in so well. He's eating 3 meals a day; Burns and treats. Drinking well with encouragement. He is such a happy little lad. Tail wagging and my goodness me, when he hears the chink of his lead he shoots up, leaps and bounds like a proper puppy!! Tolerates his muzzle and allows me to put it on and off no bother. He has a little cry when he's left alone, but soon settles himself. We know he's fed, watered and has comforts so it's just 'someone' that he misses at night. He has been good as gold, we have had no problems at all. House clean. Meets other people with a wag and a sniff and walks really well on his lead. We give him lots of space and only fuss when he comes to us. He comes straight over and lies next to us if we sit on the floor. He's such a sweetheart

It’s been a while! I’m sorry! ITS MY BIRTHDAY! Apparently anyway not sure what is means. Humans keep saying I’m 4 years old. It’s only the morning and I’ve been given a new toy, loads of fuss, a birthday bandanna and my morning treat. This is great should happen more often. Apparently I have a birthday muffin and some hand decorated birthday biscuits too later! As well as my birthday I recently celebrated my 2nd Gotcha Day!! That’s gone fast. Can’t wait to see you all soon at Daybreaks’ Birthday! My cousin Florence is coming over soon for Samantha’s birthday so we will be able to go together!!! Lubs Monty Xx

Thanks so much to Rob for his enthusiasm to arrange more road shows and wanting to help find homes for our beautiful Greyhounds! Xxx It's been a very warm and busy week...starting with Peggy being homed and Gabby going out on trial. Josh went back out on Foster, he really was unhappy at the kennels. Xxx Sweet Gypsy found herself reserved and will be going home next week. Her soon to be new family came to visit her today and took her for a walk. Xxx Little Truf Truf was fostered and is having a wonderful time with her foster family. :)) Xxx Roxy came in for her post homing health check. She looked great and is a very happy girl. Xxx Wilma also came in for her post homing health check, still the little pocket rocket we had at the kennels! :)) Our latest new arrivals came in on Thursday, the very handsome Bobby and Simba. Xx Richard and Alan...also known as the chuckle brothers made two trips to collect some furniture for us. It was an incredibly hot day and they needed a nice cup of tea and a donut to revive them on their return to the kennels! Thank you! Xxx Thanks so very much to everyone for all your help, and support. We have missed quite a few of our Daybreaks family the last few days...Ruth has been away and Declan was unable to come in Xxx Big hugs to Vonnie and Jo, please get better soon. Xxx Bob, we will miss you forever. Xxx xxx

Oh my gosh it was a hot one today! I felt like a damp rag when I had finished feeding & cleaning this morning!! It was the gorgeous Magic’s birthday today, and he shared frozen treats with his doggy pals to celebrate. As it was so hot, the residents took it in turns to come out into the feeding runs for some fresh air and paddling pool playtime. It was so funny to see all the different reactions to the pool - some wouldn’t go near it, some thought it was a giant drinking bowl - and the beautiful Gal got it sussed and decided to lie down in the water! I have taken a photo and Michael will post it on FB later - it is sooo cute! We had a delivery from Iceland courtesy of Phil today with fabulous treats for both hounds & humans together with lots of cleaning products - thank you! Also thanks for the donations of towels & bedding, greatly appreciated. A reminder that raffle tickets for our 17th Birthday Prize draw are on sale at the kennels, the draw takes place at our open day on Sunday 2nd July. If you can’t get in to the kennels don’t panic- give us a call on 0121 782 7702 and we will happily sell you some tickets over the phone. The 1st prize is £250 cash very generously donated by Fivelands Veterinary Centre. The weekend is here, and a bottle of white wine is chilling in the fridge for me for later! Whatever you are up to stay safe and cool. Cheers. Angie xx
