4th December

We had a good day at Bull Terrier Rescue Christmas Fund Raiser.
 Although local to us this is a big day in Bullie Rescues calendar and many people had travelled some distance to be there.
 We met people like ourselves who despite family committments fostered and gave homes to several needy dogs, each with their own sad story to tell but now safe thanks to rescue.

Sandi, David, Sam Keen,Jon and Lynne turned up to help so we were well supported.
My mother in law also came as she lives practically next door! She spent some money, winning on the tombola and the raffle with ticket number one! It was good to see her and catch up.

Epsom Canine Rescue, whom we work closely with, had a stand there as well as a local pet store and the Donkey Sanctuary from Witley.

We all agreed we had never seen so many English Bull Terriers before and also we envied their calm nature compared to Staffords. We couldn't imagine so many Staffords together in such a small area.
There were some lovely dogs and we all fell in love at least once with a kissable pink nose.

Several had Demodex mange, seeming even more prone to it than Staffords and we were able to share about Promeris Duo, a spot on treatment which really gets rid of it which we have been using since we tried it on Hippo many years ago.

This whole event comes about due to the efforts of one lady who organises it and concentrates purely on fundraising, which just shows what can be done.

We raised £52.50 which was surprisingly high for such an event and due to the generosity of people giving extra for bits bought.

Our Thanks to Bullie Rescue for inviting us.


I am sorry to report that Tara is not well. She passed blood in her urine when Dave walked her today and then needed to urinate frequently for the rest of the walk. We have also noticed she drinks a lot. I will speak to my vet tomorrow.
