Well sirenmelody - it is only 136 days until Christmas - thank you for helping raise much needed funds for Daybreaks - I am so grateful. As I wasn't in yesterday, today I got to meet Mari the new arrival who came in. She is such a pretty girl and we have been told by her trainer she was a non chaser on the track and is great with young children. I am sure she wont be here longI have uploaded a snippet of her time since arriving to our Daybreaks Trust Chat Facebook page! We already have a viewing booked tomorrow for Dukey who arrived Wednesday but sadly still no interest in our gorgeous long stayers - Rocky, Robbie and Gal. I am sure their homes our waiting around the corner! It has been a very warm day and this afternoon as we were short of walkers, so the Daybreaks Guests all enjoyed a frozen peanut butter smoothie as one of their snacks this afternoon!

With only one week to go until the Cream Tea Event dare I mention the word "Christmas"??? If you are attending the event and are one of those early birds who likes to catch the best worms then I will have crackers containing varied chocolates and different shower gels plus doggie stockings and gifts from popular brands Kipling and Yankee Candle which are not available elsewhere and all at very heavily discounted prices. All items will be heading off to 2 salons in Solihull and Harborne at the end of September so this may well be a good opportunity to get organised!! Every single penny of all my sales always go to DB which in turn helps all the wonderful boys and girls who so very patiently wait their turn for a loving home. If by chance you live elsewhere in the UK but would be interested in crackers I am happy to pay for packing and postage. Please contact DB and I can in turn make contact and provide photos etc. Thank you everyone. Seana x

Summer returned today! We managed to take the dogs out for their morning walks, but it was just too hot to do anything this afternoon. We did our best to keep the dogs cool. Xxx Pretty little Mari arrived this afternoon.What a cute little girl! She is a non chaser. Her trainer says she can run around all day long but prefers playing. :)) Her trainer said Hello to our kennel dogs, he spotted Robbie and spent several minutes fussing him. Robbie loved all the extra attention. :)) Thanks so much to Shirley for giving Mari a bath. Richard and Declan looked after feeding the other residents. Xxx Thanks to Alan and Declan for for going on a trip to the Warehouse. 🙂 We now have some large bags of Burns Sensitive in stock. I know some people have been having trouble purchasing it recently. Xxx

Dukey is very nervous at the moment, it's a big change in his life coming to Daybreaks. He did enjoy his walk this morning although a little scared of the traffic on the Coventry Road. He also enjoyed his meals which is great. :)) Sure he will soon settle and get used to us all. :)) Xxx

What a delightful young lady Mari is...she arrived this afternoon. She was happy to give out kisses and soon discovered where the treat jar is kept in the treatment room! Her trainers says she is a lovely girl, who loves to play. Xxx

Absolutely gorgeous. Don't be frightened. Ruth, the staff and volunteers will look after you. My Sam had only just turned 2 when I adopted him. My Sam didn't race. I see you've done 5 so you had a go but maybe decided it wasn't for you and that you just want to find your forever sofa. Good luck. I don't think it'll be long. x

Rocky

Sadly Mr Rocky Rockstar has been unreserved this morning. His potential new sister took a dislike to him and it was felt best to not take the risk in them living together. His new home is out there somewhere...... he is always clean in his kennel and despite being a very big boy at 40kg, he is a cuddle monster!

Wow! 3333 hounds rehomed is phenomenal. Well done to Ruth and everyone who's played a part in the rehomings. Long may it continue. I love volunteering at kennels and helping to look after the dogs but one of my favourite parts is viewings. I love meeting prospective adopters and showing them the dogs who ultimately adopt them as we all know it's the dogs who choose. There's something the dogs do to make the humans fall in love with them. Skip, my first greyhound from Daybreaks and the start of my becoming part of the Daybreaks family, decided he would just get into our campervan after his introduction to our other greyhound Bert in the sand run. He wouldn't get out so that was it. He became ours. He was 4 then and is 9 now. Since then we became failed foster parents with Sam and then adopted Nadie in lockdown. "No we're not having a third" were famous last words after seeing this pretty little girl. So I don't doubt that 3333 will very soon start climbing higher. Keep up the good work Ruth and everyone. x

Wow! We had lovely clean kennels yesterday morning so I had refreshed them all by 9.45 and then mayhem started! It was such a busy day and I saw Babe go off to her new home. I opened the doors of Daybreaks on 1st July 2006 and yesterday marked our 3333rd home found for these beautiful greys. Running Daybreaks is immensely hard work and emotional but the joy of seeing these beautiful dogs go to loving homes is worth it. Just before we closed up I had big snuggles with Robbie one of our long stayers - total therapy! Thank you to all our volunteers who make this all possible too x

Thank you so much to Laura for taking such good care of our precious Sparky today - she was lovely with him! He's had a lot of pampering and is now very soft and clean. Thank you!
