2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It was fffreezing today! There was no white stuff fortunately, so it could have been worse! Ruth took Scarlet off to the Vets to be speyed first thing, and the boys & girls enjoyed sand run playtime. We have started Jet on a special diet, I think he has a food intolerance or sensitivity so we are taking the "elimination" approach to find out what it is. I am quite excited as I finally get to put my Canine Nutrition qualification to use!He spent some time in the office this morning and he seemed a lot happier to have company, I took some photos which I will pop on the Facebook page later, and of course one of them is now my screensaver. Hope we can sort his diet out and get that tummy settled. Quite quiet for visitors, although ex resident Wolfy brought his Mum & Dad along so he could have his nails clipped. They say he is an absolute treasure and they love him to bits. We tried little Miss Genie with the cats and she did very well which is great news. Josie has recovered well from her spey yesterday and is bouncy and happy. When I went to get her & Daisy from their kennel for dinner this afternoon, they were both upside down with their legs on the air!! It seemed a shame to disturb them, but the mention of "dinner" soon had them the right way up!! Thanks to our Friday afternoon walkers who took the dogs for a nice long walk - everyone nicely wrapped up against the cold. Ruth collected Scarlet from the Vet this afternoon and has taken her home for a sleepover. We have left the doggies all snuggly in their kennels tonight, underbed heating on and radiators on in the blocks - it is much warmer than my house and I am seriously thinking of moving in!! As it is Friday it is of course time for a glass or two of wine, and a wish for forever sofas for our beautiful boys & girls. We are scattering the lovely Peggy's ashes in the memorial garden tomorrow at 1.30pm - please do join us if you can. Have a good weekend one and all - and keep warm. Angie x

I went to see Hector this morning as his new mom wanted to take him to be weighed at vets and he was refusing to get in car... We went through a few techniques, but when he weighs 39kg.....its not as easy as others we deal with. Lol. X

I read all the comments on this site and I must say the amount of love,hard work and worry given by everyone at daybreaks has to be commended. The amount of time spent making sure there beautiful greys are found not just a home but the right home and looking after daybreaks at the same time. I don’t think you get the gratitude you deserve.

it was great to see Boss and Jetson go home with their new families today. Both boys came into the office while paperwork was completed. They were great and waited patiently until all was ready for them to go home. Thank you so much to their new families for giving one of the boys a chance of a forever home :)) Josie had her neutering operation today. We worried about her all morning and we were so relieved to hear she was good and we could pick her up. She is having a sleepover at Ruth and Andy's tonight. She is so very cute. :)) Thanks so much to Alan, Shirley and Lucy for going to the warehouse for us. Richard, the other Chuckle Brother stayed at the kennels and painted all the doors in our newly refurbished kitchen...they look great! Thank you Richard. Xx Treaty managed to somehow end up with a "blue" bottom!! It was a really cold day, thanks so much for all our volunteers who came in to take the dogs out for a walk. Our expected two new arrivals will now be arriving sometime in the next few days....sorry Ruth. Xxx

Florence saw Katie the animal physio/canine masseur today. She thinks the limp is due to cruciate ligament damage. We have excercises, can only do slow, short lead walks (no worries there from my point of view!) and plenty of resting - no problem for Florence there. We’ll see her again in 10 days. She was wonderful and Florence and SFFs Coco and Maud all demanded her attention. Fingers crossed this works for Florence. Xx

Jet was in a hurry on his walk this afternoon. After he'd toileted he was keen to get back to his warm kennel, where he got straight up onto his bed ready to receive cuddles. He's such a lovely boy xxx
