| Yes I did it! |
We had a wonderful, though rather long and exhausting day at the dog show at Oxted today.
The show was organised to raise money for the stray Staffies in Tandridge district.

Ali Taylor of Battersea fame was there with her lovely dog Squirt and also Rachel with Frank who she adopted from Battersea and who Paul O'Grady did Agility with at Crufts.
Squirt and Frank did a little display at lunchtime
The judge was Jean Loughbrough editor of The Stafford Magazine She did a wonderful job.
Roxy was 3rd in Best Rescue and Tara 3rd in Best Veteran, Skye was beautifully behaved as ever but just missed out on the ribbons this time!

The lady whose son gave up Luci now Molly, the puppy Val fostered, came over to thank me for helping them out and saying what a wonderful job we do and that Val is an angel, which was nice.
Then I spotted a lovely little Stafford it turned out to be Leah who we homed to Maureen and Trevor Pickles a year ago. As it was a home to home and they had been homechecked by another rescue I had never met either Maureen and Trevor or Leah! They came especially to see us, I think they deserve a blog spot of their own so will feature them in a day or two.

We were quite busy on the stand with the harnesses, leads and collars donated by Pets at Home as end of range and did well taking £65.70 but nowhere near Val and Stuarts £131 on Saturday, I don't know how they do it.
We didn't get home until nearly 6pm and then there was all the dogs to do who weren't happy staying at home, so we were all rather tired including the dogs.
My thanks to Samantha Keen, John Ayres and Sam Oakden for their help today.
Saffy continues to be amazing she is not even lame on her leg, using it normally and the wound is looking good, post op check 4.40pm tomorrow.
Well done to everyone on two good days of fundraising.
ReplyDeleteAlison, the Pink Lady hairdo suits you all we need now is John Travolta and then you can show us your dance moves as well, ha, ha.
Well done Alison! Pink hair is fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Saffy's appeal has done so well and she managed to get her op - fingers crossed for a good outcome.
Just thought I'd also add that my Mum rang the other day to ask if I'd seen the recent Dog's Today mag - wonderful article on Staffies including biog's on all your lovelies!! Well done you!! Hope it helps..
Sally, Saffy & Simon
