3 Days to go to PICNIC IN THE DOG PARK      SEE YOU THERE!

Have felt rather untogether today after yesterdays excitement with the poster.
Need to thank every member of my family their help. Sam,as mentioned yesterday, painted out the collar and lead, Jessie took the photos, Dave formatted it and Sara edited it in 30 seconds flat before going to bed!
Have not yet put in her suggestions.
Had no help walking dogs this afternoon so had to do two long walks, one with Sandy on her own and then with Spryte and Boycie. Boycie had an "unpleasant" poo which means he may still need antibiotics and Spryte rolled in fox! Angel had also rolled earlier requiring a bath,the result being I am exhausted!



Happy Days, Lexus on the beach.

 Had phone message late yesterday from lady saying she needed to re-home a 5 year old male staff as her 6 month old daughter was allergic to him. It seemed a genuine case.
It was too late yesterday to return the call but she rang again this morning. On further investigation it turns out she had only owned the dog for 6 weeks having got him from an advert. The family who advertised him had him and a Malamute and were only allowed one dog in their property! They wanted to keep the Malamute as they had had him from a puppy.
I asked how long they had owned the Staff and she said they told her they had rescued him from Battersea at 6 months!! She had tried to contact them when she discovered her daughters allergy and........could not get a reply.
So what started out as a straightforward, genuine case ended up being nothing of the sort.
The dog sounds nice and I am hoping John laker will take him when he returns from his holiday as it is in Kent, and we really have NO SPACE at all.
I will check with Battersea to see if he is one of their dogs, but it is probably not true. Unbelievable!
