We'll be there ;D The plan is to spend a month in Wales in the camper starting this weekend - keep looking up the weather forecasts  Going to amble through Ogmore, Porthcawl and Rest Bay then work our way onto Pembrey for the show - via visiting Aunty Clare at Coed Ely. Not sure yet when we'll get to Pembrey - but looking forward to meeting everybody there - I'll look out for you Bern ;D. |

Let us hope that this unsettled weather passes over by Friday. When the weather is right this venue is fantastic. 7 mile beach that the dogs love. Dogs allowed on half of it.

Great weekend camping and a fantastic fundraising effort by Ang and Susie who manned the stall all day. Ang's idea of human fruit machine put a smile on many faces. Good fun all round. The dogs ( Abs and Bails ) whacked out today. Car to unload now.
It was great to meet you at long last Ang ( not forgetting Clive )

Ahhhh, I wouldn't have missed this for the world ;D Firstly, a big  to Bern & Caz and Auntie Ang for getting everything sorted for us even before I arrived ;D They had our pitch sorted, and I think we were in the best possible spot as we caught everyone coming in and walking towards to the main ring. So despite my leisurely arrival at 9.15, in no time at all we were ready for the crowds.....  Bern & Caz showing off our new 'livery'......  Look away from the cakes Caz!  One of our younger customers......  ....and how lovely to see Molly, recently adopted from Cardiff Dogs Home   The Human Fruit Machine was an absolute blast    Everyone loved it! (although some of the younger visitors to our stall were a little bemused)   I've never laughed so much in my life   The Tailwaggers Display was excellent, and they were stars of the show, hardly stopping for a minute all day (except to say 'Hi' to a few old friends)...  Here's Sian, showing off Bas's rosette for agility (OK, it's Rocket's rosette, but Bas had to share the moment) Congratulations Sian   And 'Cafe Dente' kept the coffee pot hot all day   Ang & Clive   Seriously, it was lovely to see some old friends, and new friends, and put names to legends in the world of rescue (you know who you are - I'm so pleased to see you here Missus)   I hope the FP dawgs enjoyed the burgers! The lovely lady who took them from my out-thrust hand looked a little bemused, but as the man in the burger van said, shame to waste 'em eh? We all had an absolutely fabulous time, and we made a considerable dent in our fundraising target for our first quarter ;D Can't sign off without thanking Rowan of Burns Pet Nutrition, who was so very very helpful  See you there next year then issit ;D |

Next year we need a bigger camping contingent from Friends. It is the second time I have been there and each time the tide has been out which makes it perfect for the dogs to run.

 Amy's Louis, looking after the Oldies Stall  FOA RCT pupster Lizzie. Honestly, you'd never know she went to them with a broken pelvis and umteen other issues; she's sooo funny and a very happy, busy girl.  Baz and Ollie  Jude's gorgeous Gwen, with Pauline's lovely Millie. Gwen was an ex-puppy farm girl who I first met one year ago. She was brave enough to sniff Tinker at the show and is a credit to Jude.  |
