I need to say that without TinaD “PAWS” would not have been the success it was.....do you know that she was disappointed that we didn’t raise more, she felt she had not been successful....she works all hours god sends baking, wrapping, packing, printing, organising..........Me, I turned up with a bunch of sandwiches and a pack of sausage rolls and spent my time dancing with a puppy and kissing every staffie I could get my hands on,....and even though I can hardly keep eyes open today and could not get shoes on as my feet are so sore... I had one of the best weekends this year! I spent a weekend with friends and addition to that we raised money for a good cause.... I am truly glad I am part of this “Family”....Thank you Tina for dressing me up in silly ears, abusing me and making me dance, sing and shout in front of complete strangers to get them to part with that pound coin....all 764 of them!!

P.S. I am on vacation next year don’t know when Paws is but you can guarantee that I will be on VACATION!!!!!

Tina and the gang were truly amazing!!!!! Very Happy

It was a great pleasure coming along to help, Cooper was absolutely exhausted when we got home and sleep all evening. The only time he got up was when the copius amounts of Liver cake can back on him and he made a quick exit to the garden! Then promply back to sleep, I think like me he is still recovering.

And we only did one day, I take my hat off to Tina, Tina's mum and Nikki who managed both days with such enthusiasm WELL DONE!!!!!!!!! You are angel13

Hello and well done everyone! How much did the "Guess the name" Competition raise..... and who has won it??

You lot had better stop with all of the praises! Embarassed

I am very happy to be part of the RR family too and although it is very hard work, we all do have fun on the stalls andni have made some lovely friends doing it. Like Bud/Nicky said, i was very disappointed in the amount that we raised-not the efforts of everyone concerned, we couldn't have done any more, but the fact that people were unwilling to part with their cash for a worthy cause but will happily spend hundreds on needless things. I have to say, too that we all WORKED for every penny that came in. We had 4 chairs available to us and none of them were used!! We were also one of the last stalls to pack up and were horse from shouting our wares.

I don't know how much was raised in the Guess the name competition, i haven't unpacked the board from my car yet Embarassed

I have had a busy (and completely rubbish!!) few days at work though Confused

I know that a lot of people took leaflets for the portraits and seemed really interested though. I know that we have some names left so if anyone on here wants to buy a name, i will post them and then draw the name. It is the same prize as before (thanks to Sam's fantastic generosity!!), a FANTASTIC portrait of your dog!!

I am trying to load the photos but it is my usual knightmare, my work computer likes my camera but keeps crashing when i try to load them onto Photobucket and my home computer loves Photobucket but hates my camera and won't load anything from it.

Grrrrr, technology!!! Evil or Very Mad

Fab photos - the RR Dog is brilliant Exclamation

I really have the greatest admiration for everybody who wore it - it takes guts and such good people skills to get it right, and by the sounds of things it worked so well Laughing

Deep Respect headbang

TinaD, how can you be dissappointed Shocked

Times are tough at the moment and the amount you raised was way beyond what I though you would be able to, so no more 'down', please, just a big smiley face Exclamation

Fantastic photos Tina though I think the RR dog will be hard to home Laughing

I could probably foster for a bit if it can wash up and clean windows...
