A very touching gesture came out of the blue at the Barleylands event yesterday's. A lady came up to the stall and spent some time looking at our display and the dogs rehoming poster.

She then said that her neighbour had recently died and she had been a great animal lover. She had told her neighbours before she died not to buy flowers for her funeral, but to donate the money to the RSPCA. Her friend then handed me her £10 flower contribution and said that she thought that Rescue Remedies needed and deserved to have the money more. She said that she knew that that would have been what her neighbour would have wanted Sad

A priceless gesture very much appreciated.

It is that kind of generosity and that of the guy working at the boot sale who gave us £5 that really touches your heart.

It is also a gift that can be made safe in the knowledge that we will appreciate what it means and will remember the person and the gesture-the money and the goodwill doesn't just get lost in the admin chain somewhere.

That really was very kind and we all know those donations are going straight to the 'frontline'.

At long last, here is a photo of the lovely Arthur, a RR dog now living in sunny Southend who brought his family to our boot sale last week

Arthur wouldn't look at me for his picture, he really did like me (honest!!) but i think he was upset that i wouldn't give him a biscuit (not my fault, Arthur!! Your family said it would give you a poorly tummy!!!) Thank you to Arthur's family for making the special trip to come and see us and support RR!!! It is always lovely when you see a dog thriving in their new home. It makes you realise what you are doing it all for!!

Sorry for the delay in getting this photo up, a combination of my slackness and a tempremental computer!!! I didn't take any pictures of the stall (cos i forgot!) but i am sure you all know what it looks like by now...

So wonderful to see Arthur looking so well and loved Laughing

Poor little mite spent the worst part of the winter in kennels Crying or Very sad

Everyone loved him and prayed and prayed for a home for him. Once he had gone, it was so quiet - he can sing and sing and sing Rolling Eyes

Fantastic to see up dated pictures of him Very Happy
