Rest in peace Bob. So sad to hear of your leaving us. The kennels and Daybreaks family has lost a true gentleman, a wonderful person with a huge personality and character, and a friend to many. We will all miss you xxxx

I would like to echo Ruth's words regarding Bob. I first met him in 2011and always enjoyed our chats as he sat in the kitchen dunking his biscuits that were always available with the cups of tea, coffee etc endlessly available. As Ruth says it's a wonderful legacy he has left knowing what Daybreaks have achieved over the the last 17 years based at the rear of Conifer Cottage. RIP Bob

On top of Ruth's words below I am extremely saddened to hear the passing of Bob. He was a true gentleman and always committed to greyhounds and the kennels at Daybreaks. I only met him a couple of times, thanks to Jo, and he was a lovely kind hearted man who respected everyone he met. He even enjoyed seeing greyhounds having their photoshoots taken in his garden by Sharron. But most of all knew what Daybreaks was all about and the team, actually family were always working hard to find loving homes for greyhounds. Rest in peace my friend, always thinking of you!

Our hearts are broken and we are devastated to announce the passing of Bob yesterday evening. He was a very proud man, generous and kind to the end. Fiercely protective of those he loved and the amount of friends he has is a true reflection of a very much loved and respected man. We are going to miss him immensely - the world has been blessed with a true gent. I met Bob 17 years ago when I was put in touch with him and asked him if I could rent his existing racing kennels to set up Daybreaks. At the start, Bob was the ‘landlord’. Over the years he became not only a great friend but a father figure, even walking me down the aisle in 2020. Because of Bob, Daybreaks has allowed me to help find over 3,400 homes for greyhounds and created an enormous family of volunteers which has lead to our ever growing Daybreaks family. This is a true legacy to Bob. Greyhounds were his life - a true passion and he had his first greyhound at the age of 12. Bob has touched all of our lives beyond measure and I cannot imagine life without him. Sleep tight Bob. You will be in my heart forever and may your star shine bright.

Friendly reminder with the hot weather upon us: NEVER LEAVE DOGS IN HOT CARS. The internal temperature in a car can significantly increase and will not take long for a dog to pass out, this will be fatal to a dog. If you find a dog in a car on a hot day call the police on 999, even if the dog doesn't look in distress because it will soon become distressed.

Hi Longingforanothergrey, we took Fox on the Whitley Court charity walk along with our greyhound Molly. They got on great and travelled well in the car together. Jo also got on well with the other greyhounds on the walk and all other breeds he came across. He is currently kennelled with Gabby so I think he would be a perfect companion for your Mr Sparkle.

Do you think he'd be happy living with another grey, our Mr Sparkle? Or would he prefer to be alone?

Such a shame that things didn't work out for you matey. At least you have had a sample of home life though, and it sounds like you got it sorted very quickly - well done. Your forever home will be out there soon. xxx

Fox came to stay with us on trial. He was a dream of a dog. The only reason for his return was that our autistic son did not react very well - hence why we did a trial in the first place. Fox is an incredible dog. He settled quickly to our home. He didn’t cry or bark. Even overnight he was good as gold. He walks perfectly on the lead. He met some other breeds of dogs out and about and was absolutely fine with them. We wish him all the best and know that he will make a super addition to someone’s family.
