Hi Shanishoo. So sorry to hear the sad news about Jack. So many of us were rooting for your little fella. I’m not sure I know you by face, but hope you take each ‘like’ to your news, as a virtual hug for you, from all of us. Mand x

Dear Shani, I am so sorry to hear about Jack but I know for certain that you made the right decision for him with all the love in your heart. It is such a hard decision to make but he is free of pain now and running free with all our other precious doggies. I am sending you my love and a big hug from Carol and Moe xxxx

Shani I think this is what Jack would say to you ----- You knew when it was time to let me go, So I could run free again, even though I loved you so. You know I will be waiting for you however long, And when the time came I just knew you would be strong. I could just lay down with my head in your lap Then I wouldn't be frightened, I could just take a nap. I could dream of the days that we had, of the love that we shared I was a lucky one, I found someone who cared God Bless, your boy will always be with you xx We had to make your decision with 3 of our Greys over a 7 month period so I feel your pain, as do all of the people at Daybreaks and on this dairy who have loved and lost a hound.x

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
What another hot day today, but thanks to our team of volunteers we managed to get morning and afternoon walks done. Thanks to Denise for heading off to Fivelands to collect some much needed medicatio. We had 2 viewings and both are coming back at the weekend with their other halfs to see the dogs they are interested in. So thanks to Paul for staying and helping with feeding whilst i showed the prospective homers around. Ruth/Kate I have left details in both the diary and notepad. All in all a very productive day.

I am sorry for your loss of Jack, but you had to do what was best for him. I had to make the same choice with my Shelby in May when i found out his kidneys stopped working.

Barney - thank you for the nice walk and cuddles this morning. What a good boy you were and how much you have come on since you first arrived at the kennels - you were such a shy boy then! You will soon be back home where you belong and I think you will be very spoiled then!! xx

I am so very sorry that this awful thing was just too much for your precious boy to recover from. I know how hard it is to see them so poorly and slipping away from you and his heartbreaking it is to make the decision to say goodbye. It is the ultimate gift of our love to free our loyal friends from their pain but in doing so we hurt so much ourselves. I’m sure there will have been so many tears and still more to come but your memories of Jack in happier times will stay with you for ever. Run free Jack with all our much loved hounds who can no longer be with us. Much love from Linda, Paul, Lena & Peggy xxxx
