Jimmy

Just to let you all know that Jimmy is settling in well with us and has been a lovely gentle boy from the start- completely ignoring our rabbit and guinea pigs, eating well and doing brilliantly with his toilet training . He did not want to go for walks initially but is now starting to walk more confidently and for slightly longer distances. He has had to be carried around a lot! but we feel sure he will continue to make progress as he settles in fully and gains confidence. We are starting training classes this Saturday so hopefully he will enjoy that. We are thoroughly enjoying having him as a new member of our family and he has gained many admirers already. A huge thank you to Ruth, Pam and Margaret who have given us so much practical support and advice. We have really appreciated your help.

I had a smashing cuddle with Jet today. Shoulder rubs went down well with him. There was no way I was leaving his kennel until he was ready to let me go, at one stage he seemed to be infront of me and behind me at the same time!!!!! He is gorgeous.xx

I do like this sweet pretty little girl. She seems a bit unsure of the world at the moment but with patience and the right encouragement I think she will be fantastic. xxxx

As we were walking the dogs today I said to Samantha that I couldnt understand why the delightful, friendly and gorgeous Honey is still at the kennels and then when we got back there was a lovely couple showing interest in her. I really hope it all works out for them all. She so deserves a chance of a happy retirement. Big cuddles Honey. xx

Just a note to say Bez will be back at the kennels from Friday onwards if anyone wants to pay there respects. All we ask is that you let the kennels know before hand, as it is still Bobs garden. We are scattering her ashes just prior to that. X

I felt I had to thank all of you for your kind words about my poem for Bez. Like you all I get very emotional over our beloved hounds and I can hardly type for the tears falling when I am writing them. So I think between us we could fill a lake ! Bez deserved them and is now in all our hearts forever. One old lady, so much love. I am sure many Greys will benefit from her legacy. Her life was not in vain but still so sad an ending. We are just back from Bude and Fat Neck Finn has a few stories to tell so hope to I can cheer some of you up a little with my next posting. xx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!

Sorry for the late post for yesterday's daily diary. It was a very busy and late day. Firstly, and apologies as I know most of you already do this, but please ensure that you dog does not only have their Daybreaks trolley tag on their house collar (this should be worn at all times) but also an identity tag with your contact details on. Just a reminder, this is a LEGAL requirement. Should your hound escape, then at least they have your details and those of the kennels, so if you are not contactable then we are. In light of the terribly sad events of the past few days, we should all make sure this is done. Thanks, rant over...... Anyway, on to much happier news. It was lovely to see Clodie now Star be signed up and go to her forever home. Turbo and Mitzy were both reserved pending home checks. And, well Mr Nick has also been reserved, pending the approval of the husband/dad of the family (please, please) and home check. As our longest stayer I as everyone else hopes this works out for him, he is truly deserving and such a handsome boy. Thanks to everyone for their help yesterday. Jo x

Nick
I’m Homed
I'm in tears again (haven't stopped since Friday) but today it's tears of joy. For all the dogs reserved this weekend, but especially Nick. One of my wishes after this tragedy is that little Bez sends new owners for all the greys at Daybreaks, but first and foremost the longest resident. So glad my prayer was answered. Well done handsome Nick and thank you to the prospective new owners from the bottom of my heart. Hope to see you with Nick at an event soon. Nick - behave yourself sweetheart. It'll be strange at first but you'll be so loved and retirement is wonderful. Greyhound owners are very special 🙂 x

I can't say how much little Bez has affected us all. We are a strong family and we will learn and help and support each other more because of this beautiful girl. I am so pleased how everyone pulled together during this sad and what turned out to be horrific time. I just wish we could have brought her back safe and sound. Loveheart, thank you so much for your moving words, they reduced me to tears again, as did your beautiful words a little while ago about my Will, Thank you ! Love to everyone involved in trying to help Bez x
