I'm sorry, but have just had to wipe away the tear of laughter!

Absolutely fantastic! Need a picture of the saint that made them all though. Well done - am sure there will be people tomorrow with a "ponchance for a poncho"! Very Happy

Thanks again for your support and thanks to Grandma Wink

After a bit of a shakey start and the gazebo nearly taking off (it was VERY windy this morning), we actually had a good day! We didn't get any rosettes at the dog show beacause we thought we would give the other dogs a chance-it's not fair, the RR dogs winning them all the time, now is it?? Wink

We met lots of lovely people, gave out some leaflets etc. We met the Tower Hamlets Dog Warden (lovely lady!) who has promised to tell us of any events that she is organising/going to.

Julie and co could only stay for a very short while Crying or Very sad

but it was lovely to see them all again (Rebecca proved that she was a whizz on both the ball in a bucket AND throwing the dice!!)

The rain held off and when the wind dropped, it was actually a nice day. I have the sunburn to prove it!!! If anyone sees me at any future event PLEASE make me put suncream on so that i don't end up looking like a belicia becon!!!!!!!

Sharon will be on in a bit with the magic numbers!!!!!!

Hi everyone

6 weeks on the trot phew! We have been so lucky weather wise, it's been touch and go a few times and today was one of them. We have had sun and rain!

Highlights of the day were two people taking Celia Hammond leaflets to get their dogs spayed/neutered. One of which has a dog who has had a 10 pup litter and she is determined that it will not happen again. (All were homed to good homes and all are in touch). Hopefully they will follow through, but they were serious about it.

Another couple lost their dog about 6 months ago, but now travel for 4 months of the year so feel it's perhaps not for them to get another. She said her house is an empty shell without the pitter patter of little furry feet. They always had Bull Terriers. Her eyes lit up at the thought of fostering - they thought they were too old!!! Flyer was superglued to her hand Wink

Stevie put in an appearance with the Bandana Family. They restocked our soft toy department and the fluffies looked even better in the fur with their ponchos. We also have, thanks to them, a music playing dog mascot to attract attention! Tina wants to call him Dave, but any further suggestions welcome! Thanks very much to all the famiily for your support - it means a lot to us.

Another nicely organised event with nice people and a warm welcome. Ball in a Bucket, Open Windows & Lucky Dice proved a pretty popular with the kids as replacement when needed for tombolas.

Thanks again to Lilian (TinaD's mum) for giving us a much welcomed hand and feeding me bagels Wink

The amount raised today was ... drum roll ... £185!

Our next fundraising event will be: 6 Sept 2009 - Dartford Companion Dog Show, Central Park, Dartford, Kent, DA1 1JP (entrance in Cranford Road)[/b]
