2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Teddy had a check up with his vet this morning . He was such a good boy, jumped in the car and settled down for a snooze 🙂 The vet said his paw is looking good but wants to leave the stitches in for another week. He had another snooze on the way back to the kennels! Bless him. He spent the day in the kitchen with my Skip.:) x We had a lot of volunteers today. All the dogs had two good walks in the autumn sunshine. Barney came for a visit this afternoon. He looked great! Thanks so much to everyone for their help. Xxx

Teddy loves people, he is one of the friendliest dogs and I have never seen him grumpy even with his sore paw. It was lovely to see him today without his bandage. Smashing boy xx

I was waiting for the announcement.... the train leaving from Platform 4..... ok - yesterday felt like New Street Station - it was SO busy!!!! Great day though - I thrive on busy! Andy and his Dad spent the whole day putting the roof on the cat extension so hopefully by next weekend it will be finished and Tyke and Socks can enjoy their extended outside area 🙂 Thank you to everyone who came and helped or visited - it is really appreciated x

It must have been so nice for Nick to get out and about and enjoy a break from kennels, this boy has waited long enough for a home, surely there is somebody out there that can give this beautiful boy the home he needs, keeping my fingers crossed for you Nick xxxx

Nick

The handsome Nick came for a day out today with me, Maggie (my greyhound) and my husband. He was out of his kennel and in the car like a rocket. There is no doubt that he has a zest for life. We drove out to Packwood House and spent the next hour walking through fields and along country roads/ canals. He is a very keen walker and can be quite strong, especially when he sees another dog, particularly the small ones. However, when he actually meets the other dog, he behaves well. I thought I might have been in trouble when we saw two very small dogs as he started off like he was coming out of the traps at the racetrack. Once we caught up with them though he lost interest after having a bit of a look. We stopped at a pub for lunch and enjoyed an hour in the sunshine. He had a bit of a sunbathe but was ready to get started again in no time at all. We had another hours walk and then a trip back to Daybreaks. He's a lovely boy, who is very people friendly. He is super happy to be out exploring and will be great for someone who enjoys long walks. I might suggest starting the walk going uphill (believe me, he'll help you get up to the top) and then enjoy a more leisurely walk with him once he has worn himself out a bit!! Good luck handsome boy xx

Teddy

I am sure Teddy would be thrilled to have a home waiting for him and it would speed his recovery I am sure. Maybe this lovely sunny Sunday will encourage people to come and see him and all the big beautiful Black Boys who have waited patiently for a forever home while the pretty girls pass by so quickly. I have nothing against them, but the boys have stolen my heart since I had my first lad, Boy or girl it doesn't really matter as long as you find the one for you (or as usually happens, they find you) like Fat neck Finn did with us ! Just look what we would have missed if Ruth hadn't plead his case as the longest stayer. lol
