This is next Sunday Blimey time does roll on, is anybody coming down for the day ? Oh ! I might have asked that before I know it is a fair run down there but it is a good day out. Would be nice to know if anyone is joining the campers. Yes there a few of us hoping to come and join you guys - Rhian, Emma, Claire and me. It's not definite yet, but hopefully yeah! Rach I've only just caught this post Rach, I hope you are coming. Anita has the big tables and the pasting table and prop so we need to have something to put on the stall

Emma and I are planning to come together but we have to check our dogs get on well enough to share a car. I am planning to pack up a load of craft stuff and doggy merchandise in my boot and bring along for Sunday with the tablecloth. Do you know the weather forecast for Sunday is really not good? Rach

Gotta have chips when you go camping and they do good chips. ;D Hopefully they wont just be doing there 'Sunday lunch' on a Saturday which they did a couple of years ago when all I wanted was chips!! Was to do with the model steam engine enthusiasts who were there the same time.

Yes the weather forecast got it right for the Sunday-- Rain and more rain. Despite the weather and a heck of a drop in visitor numbers the stall did pretty well. It was all down to knowing your market and Baglady did that by taking the dog coats to sell , and didn't they go well ;D like umbrellas in a thunder storm. The stall The sausage catching There will be many more photos of the day and weekend posted by the ace photographers.

Well, to coin a phrase.... If life gives you lemons, make lemonade ;D Despite the inclement weather on Sunday, it's fair to say that everyone who came to The Burns Dogs Day Out and camping experience had a fabulous time, especially the doglets The canny campers arrived from Thursday onwards, and enjoyed spectacularly glorious runs and walks around the country park and at the heavenly and dog friendly beach... The weather stayed fine right up until Sunday morning, but once the rain started, it didn't stop for the duration. But a bit of forward planning (and a hot insider tip from Derek the Weather) did the trick ;D Friends drew the crowds to our stall with the Best Sausage Catcher Competition and our 'Barks & Spencer' stall was stocked to the brim with waterproof dog coats, which were flying out all day long! To say trade was brisk is a bit of an understatement! Massive thanks to Kerry, our super-dooper saleswoman and to Rach & Emma, (Accessories r Us) Special hugs to Bern & CazDD for setting everything up nice and early, and Caz, Nico & Katie and everyone who helped on the day. Cash in the coffers was a spectacular bonus - we raised a storming £311.75 including £38.50 towards Munch's vet bill Seriously, if you're looking at the pictures and thinking 'I wish I'd been there' - make sure you get your name down for camping next year ;D You'll love it! Many thanks to Rowan and everyone at Burns for putting on such a fabulous Dogs Day Out, and for inviting Friends to be a part of it

What a FANTASTIC weekend! Such a shame about the weather on the Sunday but a fantastic amount raised!Well Done you guys! Sorry I couldn't actually be of much use on the day but Bobby really wasn't happy standing around esp with the number of dogs around. We did meet a family who had lost their liver spotted Dalmatian to a bad heart murmur only a few days before the show and they were thrilled to meet Bobby so we cheered a few people up! Pembrey is such a fantastic place to go for dogs and hoomans! Don't hesitate about it next year - just book up! ;D
