Thank you !!

I would like to thank everyone who volunteered to sell raffle tickets at Pets at Home-
you all worked so hard and it was much appreciated.

Thanks also to all the Canine helpers who won people over and didn’t steal the cakes or treats.

Thank you also to Chris and his staff at Pets at Home who sold tickets on our behalf and joined in the spirit of the fundraising by dressing up and baking cakes.

Thank you to those that baked cakes for us and also all the people who bought tickets!!

Please take a moment to help the Oldies Club

The Oldies Club have often helped out DAWGdogs by featuring some of our older dogs needing homes on their website.
It would be nice to return the favour by getting as many people as possible to vote for them please;-

We are taking part in the Big Break for Charity and need lots more votes to hopefully push us into second or possibly even first place in the contest, and help us win up to £2,000 for the dogs in the care of the Oldies Club rescue. I hope that you will have a spare minute to vote for us here:

https://www.directdebit.co.uk/DirectDebitPromotions/BigBreak2014/Pages/CauseDetail.aspx?CauseId=616

You can also vote by texting BIG BREAK 0616 to 78866

If you could spread the word amongst your friends and colleagues too, that would be wonderful and very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Kind regards
Jo

Sat / Sun : Cakes at Pets at Home, Branksome!!

[update Sun 11th pm]

The cakes and dog delights that we have taken into Pets at Home this weekend have been a great success.
There may well at the end of the day be a few left over for tomorrow if you are lucky so do come down to Pets at Home at Branksome and buy a few raffle tickets.
I had to test them of course and can confirm they are heaven in cake form.
Lord Ash tested the dog delights and has confirmed they too are worth a second tasting if he can nick a few from the table.

Thank you to Viki, Angela, Scarlet and Stephanie for keeping us supplied with cakes
( I do hope there are a couple left over for me to finish off tomorrow. They are well worth breaking a diet for)
Thank you also to Lee , Marjorie and Webster who cooked up lots of dog Doughnuts, Muffins and Paw shaped carob treats for the dogs.

[update Sun 11th am]

Spike has been hard at work this morning and all day yesterday helping to sell raffle tickets.
Here he is taking a well earned break.
This afternoon Lord Ash known as Ash to his friends will be helping Pat and Frankie.
Lots of delicious cakes left so do come along and buy a ticket to support the Rescue.

We will have in addition to cakes;- Muffins and Doughnuts specially made for dogs for all those woofers that may want to buy three tickets and grab a treat!

–

Ask Spike nicely and he’ll let you have one for free if you buy some raffle tickets from him!

Gypsy

Gypsy has now found a home !!

progress update: 10/05/2014

Gypsy is the sweetest of dogs you could ask for.
Very loyal, good with children and other dogs.
She Loves walks, cuddles, and playing. Very good on lead and off.
Gypsy is good when left at home, doesn’t chew or mess.
I sometimes find her the otherside of the stair gate when I get home and always very pleased to see you. Think she might be good at agility.
She sleeps all night and is clean. When Brian gets up at 5.15am she doesn’t even get out off bed any more and goes back to sleep till about 6.30/7am when I get up to walk them.
My young boys adore her, they are 5 and 7 years old.
She can be cheeky if food is left on the table and you go out of the room, she will jump up and take it (as my 17 year old daughter found out with her sandwich!)

Hi, my name is Gypsy.
I arrived on Monday and immediately became great friends with Pippin who I rolled and played with for an hour.
I love all dogs though Cara wasn’t quite so loving at first…… I have heard from the others that she can be a bit like this.
I soon won her over and now she puts up with me.
I love playing but never force myself on anyone who doesn’t want to play I am a polite girl.
I like children too. I had my first walk off the lead today and boy did I have a good run with Hope chasing her round and round in circles.
Helen says that I am her sort of dog and she was most reluctant to let me go to Kim’s.
Kim’s husband will be pleased when he learns that I am quiet when left, clean in the house and I don’t chew everyone’s belongings up.
I am to have a photo shoot in the next few days with Stephanie, I hope she isn’t expecting me to be nude I am NOT that sort of girl !!
