Well done Tina, Lillian, Nicci & Russ - you should be chuffed to bits and very proud of your efforts, I know I am. WOW!
A big thank you for Susi, Sue & Helina too - when we get support like that it makes such a difference, puts a big smile on our faces and makes our day.
Hoping today goes well too. Wish I was there to massage your aching feet afterwards.

Sharon, i am sure we will all still be aching when you get home next week so you might want to retract your offer as i will otherwise take you up on it!!!!! 
Day Two: Wow!!!!!! we thought we hurt yesterday but it is NOTHING compared to how much we hurt today!!!!! i don't think i have a single part of me that does not hurt!!!! What a busy day!!!! I can't remember most of it so i will try and recap but i might have to add bits tomorrow when (hopefully!) my brain function returns!!!!
There were a lot more people around today and they seemed happy to have the free samples of liver cake and biscuits but not as quick to actually buy some, even when their dogs were sitting in front of us refusing to move because they liked it so much!!!!
Rhea did the first turn in the dog suit as promised and did a wonderful job!!!! She stayed in it for HOURS and was dancing and meeting people and dogs. We were visited by Paul and Annie and MOSS!!! and Josta and her two children and Cooper came by to help in the late morning/afternoon. Josie (Josta's daughter) wore the dog suit in the afternoon and did a fantastic job and led to our new catchphrase "Hug a Puppy"!! and Josta and Christian (her son) were top salespeople of liver cake and brought floods of people to the stall, requesting the treat that their dog loved so much!!!!
Both Paul and Annie and Josta brought us loads of stuff which we desparately needed and will help restock our tombola for our next event. A fair few people said that they remembered us from previous events and the lady from Pro Dogs Direct (who had the stall next to us last week) stopped by with her four dogs who seemed to remember me! (some people have said that it is the liver cake that they remember but i think it was my winning personality!!) A lady from Dogpages also stopped by but i didn't have much time to stop and chat, unfortunately 
The lady on the stall next to us (who had a GORGEOUS little jrt called Molly- i tried to smuggle her away but they noticed ) remarked how lovely our stall sounded with all the laughing and singing that was filtering through to her stall
I would like to say a proud mummy note about Lucie too, she was on our stall for two days and was the only "stall dog" that i could see who was not on a lead/teathered in some way! she is such a good girl and behaved herself beautifuly!!!!!
Anyway, boastful moment over,i expect that you would like to know how we did???....
ready???....
Drumroll please!!!!!....
Today we made...
£431.40!!!!!!!!!! That makes a weekend total of £764.44!!!!! ( i am hoping that my maths is right!!).Add that to the money that Karen raised today and we raised just under £1000!!!!!
Well done and Thank You to everyone who helped out or stopped by or brought us stuff for the stall!!!!!!! |

TinaD & gang - what can I say, you must be so chuffed at such a sterling effort and whilst tired, must be very satisfied as the phenomenal amount of money you raised which will make so much difference to our rescue dogs.
It is hard work, but we do have alot of fun doing these events and I'm sorry that I couldn't be with you, I feel like I have missed out, but am extremely proud of you all.
Hope the tired bits recover quickly, but the offer of foot massage still stands when I return! Well done all.

Blimey! And I mean blimey! How much?!
What a fantastic result and well done to you all.
We stopped by at Paws and I know what your neighbour meant, yours has got to be the most fun stall. Nobody there could top the dancing dog, that was a stroke of genius! What a great job all the dog suit wearers did.
Lucie and Cooper were great ambassadors for RR. Lucie is always pretty in pink and takes all these events in her stride. Cooper is a handsome chap and one of natures gentlemen I suspect. Even though Moss has had a bath Cooper decided he needed a tidy up and washed his ears for him. Awwww, what a sweetie!
I do like the keyrings that you were selling, they have come in handy already.
A huge well done to everybody! |

Yes we owe a big 'thank you' to Stolenstaffys (Helina) for those. She very kindly sourced them, filled them and delivered them to PAWS. Her efforts on our behalf were much appreciated
