Daybreaks Diary!

Today has been quite an emotional day as we saw both Ginger and Gabby back from trials in their new homes. They are both wonderful dogs but sadly it was not the right homes this time for each of them. Both girls were rehomed from other centers who were unable to take them back for various reasons. We are now full and would be really grateful if there is anyone who is willing to foster, as the two girls, in addition to Kevin our new arrival from Saturday are extremely stressed. This in turn stresses us - not only from hearing them cry and see them unsettled but with the ever increasing waiting list we are under pressure emotionally. If you think you could help please call the kennels on 0121 782 7702. Homing is incredibly slow currently and this sadly makes our work stressful. 🙁 On a happier note, Truf Truf went to the vets today and her toe is healing well and our thanks to Growler Phil who sent us a big delivery from Iceland and our freezer is now full! The slow cooker is already on for a casserole for the inmates tomorrow!

Thanks Ruth for letting me know about my badge. Thicky person that I am I hadn’t even missed it! It must have fallen off whilst I was walking Miss Moose after opening up yesterday. So glad that our residents had a great day out yesterday - it does them good to have a change of scene and some mental stimulation in the form of new sights, smells and sounds. Thanks to everyone who took a hound yesterday.x I shall reclaim my badge when I open up on Friday - I clearly need to know who I am!!!

Wow what a whirlwind of a day! We had three viewings today with two family's going away to think about it and the gorgeous Mr Fox has been pencilled in to go out on trial shortly. We are over the moon for him as he is a wonderful boy and surprised he hasn't been snapped up sooner. All the inmates who went on the Agria Walk yesterday were visibly tired and showed little interest in their enrichment time today. Cath came with Pod (her little dog with an enormous attitude) to do some 'small dog socialisation testing' and all the residents excluding Robbie were excellent. Our new boy Kevin who arrived yesterday was quite stressed but was golden with Pod and did eventually show a bit of interest in his treat ball and licky mat! On his walk we noticed him limping and he has a slightly swollen toe - hoping it is nothing serious but we will keep an eye on him. We had a visit from Poppy aka Crusty for me to trim her pads and nails..... yes trim her PADS! She suffers with hyperkeratosis so I cut off the overgrowth of her pads - she has very cronky feet but it doesn't stop her enjoying life. I am grateful to all the volunteers who have come in - Denise, Dave, Gill, Ben and Alison - a totally great day but I am shattered and it's time to go home to my 4 legged crew! ps Angie - if you are wondering where your name badge is, it was found by the volunteers on the walk this morning!

Peggy
I’m Homed
We took Peggy to the day out at Witley Court and she was adorable throughout the day. Obviously a little nervous to start with, but was perfect in the relatively long car journey and then so happy to be just out and walking about. She is very easy to walk, and well behaved throughout the day. She cleverly found some shade, to lye down and rest and relax in the afternoon sun, before trying and acquiring the taste for (dog) ice cream. I got the feeling that Peggy will become a very loyal and loving family greyhound.

Villa
I’m Homed
We had the pleasure of taking Villa to the day out at Witley Court, and he was the perfect hound throughout the day. First thing to say is how handsome he is, standing tall surveying his surroundings. He was really calm, happy to be outside, walking within the group, good around people other dogs and keen to see the next thing. Hopefully he will has his permenant days out soon.

Kevin

Kevin arrived today...what a very handsome lad! His photo doesn't do him justice! I had a lot of trouble trying to get him to stand still! :)) He is a very friendly lad but was a little stressed when he first arrived. He was much happier once he had some lunch. :))

Fox

How do you think he’d be with children (5 and 11)? Would he be ok to be left for a few hours? He looks lovely and the fact he gets on with other breeds would be great for us.

Magic
I’m Homed
Magic, along with Sky came to Witley Court today for the Agria dog walk. He jumped into the car straight away and was good all the way. Not a peep out of him. He behaved very well on his walk especially as there were lots of dogs of different breeds about. He had a couple of growls but when told to behave did so. He enjoyed his doggy ice cream before we left, even trying to eat the carton. By the end he was tired out and slept all the way back to the kennels.

Sky
I’m Homed
Took Sky, along with Magic to Witley Court today for the Agria dog walk. She wasn't over keen to jump in the car, but once in and for the whole journey was as good as gold. Even sitting a couple of times like a proper dog to look out of the window. She behaved well when we went for the walk especially as she only came to the kennels yesterday so it was possibly her first trip out. Before coming back to the kennels, she enjoyed a doggie ice cream. After such a busy day, she then slept all the way back.

Rocky
I’m Homed
We have been fostering Rocky (with a view to adopting) for 3 weeks now and he's settled really well. He's a very curious boy on walks always looking for cats, squirrels, pigeons, you name it he's looking! Sleeps well at night and not destructive when left during the day. His personality is really coming on, he makes us laugh when he plays with his crocodile, and loves to chase a football around the garden. We are trying to get him used to other people as he grumbles sometimes on introductions but that's a working progress. He's starting to pass other dogs without any problems even noisy ones which is a huge improvement. He's also called nudge in our home as he takes pleasure in nudging you up the bottom when you least expect it then wags his tail like "it wasn't me" He's such a gorgeous happy boy.
