Belle
I’m Homed
Today is Belle's gotcha day. Three years ago today our beautiful Belle came to Daybreaks and I just happened to be there, right time right place. She followed me everywhere and made certain she was to be with me forever. Tonight to celebrate it was roast chicken and our usual snuggles on the sofa with Sammy as well. Those three years went by so fast and what a lot of achievements in that time, recently passing her Good Dog Citizen gold award. Not a bad bone in her body, she loves everyone she meets, we are very proud of her xx

Martha (Babe)
I’m Homed
More progress to report for the lovely Babe. She was left for 4 hours today. I kept checking in via doggy spy cam. She was mostly relaxing in her crate, sometimes standing up in her crate but no noise or distress. Obviously her ultimate home will need to build up to this like we have but it shows she can be left for a good period if you need to. She’s started playing with toys a bit too. She’s not certain she can have them and tends to do a stealth grab and flits off with them. She’s eating well and her kennel coat is coming out to reveal a truly shiny hound.

Super proud of this little lad, I hear he had a settled stay at Daybreaks; thank you for supporting us all xx So great you got to see each other Erik!! That made me so happy!! Josh has settled back in really well, slept all night, eaten all his food (I only use burns with a token taste of loaf dog food!!! Haha!!) and, well... Business as usual! Any questions about Josh, please do ask at Daybreaks and I can help answer them to the best of my knowledge and experience with this little lovely lad xx

Dukey is gaining confidence every day. When we arrived this morning he greeted us with a waggy tail! Xxx He loves to bury his head on your lap and has the most beautiful eyes. With extra grooming his coat is beginning to shine. He is a very handsome lad. Xxx

Mari has really been making herself at home this week...she has spent most of yesterday and today enjoying the sunshine in one of the runs, on her back with all her legs in the air! She looked so comfy. :)) She will be going off to her new home very soon, I'm sure there will be a Mari sized space waiting for her on the sofa! :)) Xxx

Josh
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Josh has been staying at the kennels for a few days whilst his Foster family have been away. He has been an absolute pleasure to look after. He was relaxed and enjoyed joining in the walks with the other dogs. :)) He was great with all the volunteers and loved a cuddle. He was very happy to see Erik when he popped into the kennels, he had a very waggy tail! :)) He wasn't too keen on our meals! Think he prefers his Foster Mom's cooking. :)) He went back to his Foster home this afternoon, he was so very happy to see Hannah and she was very happy to see Josh. :)) Xxxx

We met this beautiful girl at the park on Sunday with her lovely owners. I make a bee line for any grey I see when I'm out so I can get my greyhound 'fix' and I always ask questions and where they're from and found out about little layla! Must say, she was a perfect ambassador for the breed and I had lots of snuggles so I was over the moon! That park was one of mine and jets favourite places, we've spent many an hour there so I do love seeing greys there even if I do usually end up in tears! Well done layla, such a gorgeous girl xxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
On Sunday 22nd October 2023 we have been invited to join the local car boot sale in Measham. We can take a van load of items to set up for sale on the day as well as kennel dogs for walking round and bucket collecting money for the kennels. I will be going and I ask you – please please help us out on this one as it is another huge opportunity that can’t be missed. I want to have at least 4 volunteers for the day. If you are available for this day please let me know as soon as possible and I can start planning it. If you think someone else would be able to help that would also be great. I will confirm details closer the time regarding where exactly it is, timings and what I may need bringing from the kennels like items. If there is anything you think we could sell at the car boot then that is another great help. Date: Sunday 22nd October 2023 Times: TBC but possibly from 7am til 1pm Tasks: Selling items on the stall, walking dogs, collecting money in buckets, looking after dogs on site Own dogs: If you are bringing your own dog you MUST let me know as this will be crucial to the logistics side of this event. If you are available please email me on rob.daybreaks@outlook.com

Thank you to the "birdies" who came and caught their early "wormies" from me at Saturdays tea event......I hope you all enjoy your gifts and crackers! DB are grateful for the money raised. For those who didnt attend please dont forget you can always ring DB & put in an order for crackers......this years offerings are chocolates & wooden ornament ones @ £1.50 each or larger ones with shower gel....mint, lemon or herbal with a rafaello chocolate @ £2.50 each. They will be off to the salons in a few weeks so again early birdies catch the wormies as they usually sell very well. If anyone is interested in xmas cakes again please call DB or ask Alan (Belle's dad) re a rating....he is at the top of the list!!! Thank you everyone. Seana

Dukey
I’m Homed
Oh Duke, I have thought about you a lot since your arrival & talked to Auntie Ruth yesterday about giving you a break from kennel life for a while. Sadly, she explained why you would be much better as an only child. I really hope that a nice mature person or couple will come into your life soon whether that is for fostering or adoption as you really need a loving environment outside of the kennels where all the attention can be on you and building your confidence. I shall hopefully come and visit you soon lovely boy. Keep your chin up...your turn will come. Sometimes, the shyest and nervous boys.....like my Teddy .....make the most loyal and rewarding companions. Xxx

Josh
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thanks cloggyerik and Moo&Mozzy! - he indeed is a totally different dog to the one that was returned due to aggression. Thanks to both of you with your hard work and perseverance whilst he was being assessed and treated he is so much better and having that secure and safe environment is perfect for him. He was originally thought to have neurological problems and following many appointments that Erik took him to with the vets and chiropractor, he was helped greatly. He remains on pain relief. Hannah has been fostering him and I took some video footage of her talking about him - and has given him a glowing report. This is going to be posted on facebook later! If you think you could offer him a furever home, please get in touch. He needs experienced owners with a quiet home..... I am sure this is out there somewhere.....
