It was great fun last time
Perhaps you could do one in your area - you can always put up a post on the forum and see if you can get a team together to help you. We would welcome the initiative.

Are dogs aloud???

Sorry - no animals will be allowed inside the hall.
They can be "parked" outside the hall as there will be an information stall outside - animals are left AT THEIR OWNERS RISK.
It is a safe area though!

A wonderful but exhausting day today
Firstly a huge thank you to my troop - Judy, Karen, Sharon, Tina, Michelle, Christine, Jess, Katie, Justine, Danielle, Joshua, Sebastian, Else (Mum) and Angela.
I could not have done this without you all.
It was great to see adopted RR dogs (Shadow, Belle, Moss and Jack) and potential adopters and new volunteers show up. A couple of dogs needing homes came too! Mr Harry Snr (with foster mum Dee) and Charlie Pup.
I am proud of you all
Our grand total raised today is £1000

Awww, thank you.
Been lurking. We're getting ready for our daughter's wedding in April and preparing Ronnie for a life afloat come May.

Well done RR!Wow! That is some pretty impressive fundraising. Well done to the whole team! There was obviously a huge effort made by everyone.
It was well worth the journey. Thank you for giving us such a friendly welcome.
As you can see Moss loves the rope toy we won on the tombola.
He also loves the home made dog biscuits. The free samples were a great sales tactic and with a cuddle and a titbit you have made a friend for life.

There are no page boys (or flower girls). It's a very small, private register office wedding (Wimbledon) with close family and friends only. Eamonn is resisting the suggestion that Ronnie goes to kennels for 2 nights as we've booked a hotel for the night before and after the ceremony (in Wimbledon). Our neighour (the one with the dachshund) is happy to take him for one night but she has a cat and it would be imposing to ask for a second night.

Good to see that Moss enjoys his new toy He is SUCH a sweetie and it is a good job that you held tight to his lead or i may have had to run off with him I was very happy to be "biscuit lady" on Saturday and the free samples were not so much a sales pitch as the fact that i am a COMPLETE softie and always fall for the "my mummy doesn't feed me" look-even from my own animals and i KNOW that they have been fed!!!
Everyone did a fantastic job on Saturday and i was sooo lovely that people brought their dogs along I will hopefully be posting the pictures and the dog treat recipes later today

Yes, the dog portrait was raffled and was won by a person who adopted an RR dog!
The whole raffle went really well

RaffleThank you Jane - I'll wait to hear from them then & pleased things went so well on Saturday. I hope the portrait winner had not tried to get in touch - I have had a dreaded computer virus which jammed everything up nearly all of last week. (beware of opening e mails rom your friends which contain a virus warning!) Anyway back to normal now
