I took Hilda in for her spey at Fivelands this morning. She has just come back and is bright. She is a lovely girl with a spinning tail when she is happy.

Wilma (Hilda)

Hilda came with me to Brueton Park today. She's a real sweetie, who cannot get enough love and fuss. She was excited to go out, but allowed herself to be leaded up. She jumped in the car with little encouragement and after a few minutes settled well. Once in the park Hilda was perfect with all other breeds. She met a few small, fluffy dogs and said hello politely. We walked through the park to Solihull town centre and she came in a couple of shops with me. Hilda coped admirably with these new experiences. She happily accepted fuss and complements from strangers. She was a great ambassador for the breed and in true lazy greyhound style, when we got back to the car she looked at the open boot, then back to me with an expression that said she had expended plenty of energy already and the only way to get her in the car was by picking her up!! She is a very happy little soul with lots of love and kisses to give out. Here's hoping she's on her forever sofa soon xx

So very sad for little Truf, she was quite stressed on her return to the kennels today. I think she found the outside world a little overwhelming. We are very sorry also for the lady and her family who took her home, just not meant to be this time. Xx Truf is a real sweetheart. Xxx

Rocky
I’m Homed
We took Rocky to meet Erik today and followed by a lovely surprise treat for Rocky... The sand run! Erik gave us some really great advice to work with Rocky; helping reassure Rocky not to feel worried or threatened when someone/things comes toward him. Rocky has never shown aggression or barked with us, he just grumbles if he is unsure. We have strategies which we are going to practice lots! Horay...Lots of treats boy!!! So great to then see this gorgeous boy running free on the sand run. They are such magical stunning animals x A great day for a great big pup, thanks Daybreaks for all you do xxx

Oh baby girl how sad. Life outside of the kennels can be very scary and difficult to adapt to, so sorry it hasn’t worked out for you this time. We just need to build your confidence a bit so the world isn’t too frightening. Xx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Angie arrives extra early on Friday and Saturday. So when I arrived this morning the inmates were all fed and kennels cleaned! Karla and myself sorted our cats Tyke and Socks, Socks is so funny, she will sit on your lap when sorting the litter trays or once you have lined the tray she will sit in it!! I met our two new arrivals, Hilda calmed down after a while, it’s all very new to her, Cain went out with Liz_Beth and her husband to Brueton Park where he was apparently very well behaved even coming close to little dogs. Many thanks for taking him out today. X

Ozzie (Cain)
I’m Homed
The very handsome Cain came with me and my husband to Brueton Park today. He was very well behaved and did very well for his first outing. He came nose to nose with a couple of small, fluffy dogs and said hello politely. He completely ignored a golden retriever and spaniel who were telling him off just for walking past. He travelled quietly in the car, lying down for most of the journey. He did need a little help getting in, but I'm sure he'll crack that once he's had a few more goes. He's a very friendly boy with gorgeous soft fur. He has four partially white paws and his tail looks like someone has flicked a bit of white paint on him. Here's hoping that he'll be snatched up soon xx

Sid
I’m Homed
Day 3 in foster…. Took Sid to Kingsbury Water Pak, today. He was initially nervous around the swans & ducks as they were very loud & boisterous when being fed. Although he was a lot better later on when the ducks were more settled. He observed other dogs from afar but didn't get close( this will be done gradually as time goes on). Sid might our grandson today he spent time being walked by him which went ok. However, he didn't like it when other children were playing football near by. Sid travels very well in the car not a problem at all, also copes bring close to our other dog. Sid has struggled with being separated from us but this was his first time so it will get better.
