Jet
I’m Homed
Jet has been with us a few days now and he has settled very well. He is a very affectionate boy who loves as much fuss as you will give him and he is excellent with my children. He would not jump onto the sofa for the first couple of days but now loves it. He gets on really well with our own grey, Molly, lying on the sofa together etc, she seems to have taken to him really well too. At feeding time he eats his own food and then walks off, never attempts to eat Molly's food. We have found however, that he needs to be let out to go for a wee straight after eating as this is when he has had little "accidents" in the house.Up to today he has not managed to master how to get up the stairs and doesn't show any interest in them at all. We were told that he was very excitable around other breeds of dog and have found this to be true. Besides this he walks on his lead really really well. He is an adorable big boy.

Hope everyone is having a great Christmas and especially the Foster hounds who are getting a taste of the "Dolce Vita" I am sure. I also hope Ruth felt really proud and happy when reading the Memory wall (after the tears had no doubt fallen) because but for her of her and the dedicated hard work she and the Daybreaks gang have put in over the years, there may not have been so many Greys who had wonderful love filled years on this earth, before running free again over the bridge. Ruth you and the team are angels here on earth. Wishing you all a healthy happy New Year of more lucky hounds being re-homed. xx PS Fat neck Fin's diet is on hold for Xmas lol

So pleased to read this. Bert lost loads of weight and muscle tone when he was on steroids. He was on them for nearly 2 years but has still built up since he came off them and is now almost back to his racing weight again (nearly 30kg - he'd Benn only just over 24 when he first went on steroids (as part of chemo)). I'm sure she'll build back up quickly enough. Hope you're all having a lovely Christmas. x

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Hi all, jet here! So thank goodness Santa did come and my 5 cat siblings and 1 all woke to our little stockings of treats! Jim my horse brother had loads and spent all morning eating and my guinea pig, chicken, quail and budgies sister and brothers all got presents too it was very exciting! I then had a huge duck and pork Christmas dinner with pigs in blankets and I got loads as mom is a veggie so daddy needed help eating it all! Been to my nannys (got fed there too!) And then to my aunties to see my cousins and give them their presents, they let me share as well so all in all I haven't stopped eating all day it's been like heaven but yet still I don't put an ounce on! Mommy is so jealous as she just looks at Christmas food and gains a stone but I've told her it's all the running around I do! Nanny brought mommy a dog cam so she can watch me all day at work! Thing is Nanny works there too so I reckon they'll just be spying on me all day and getting no work done, they're both ridiculously obsessed with me! Anyway, hope you've all had a lovely day too! I'm just looking forward to the boxing day left overs! Lots of love and licks , jet xxx
