March 25th - Last Sunday of the Month

[Baglady]

;D Yep - you's getting the hang of this now peeps

See you at the Home, 11 am until 1 pm

We really should try the Baron's carvery after one of our 'Last Sundays'

If anyone is interested in getting together over a nice bit of beef dinner straight after the 'Bring & Buy, Chit & Chat', please post here.
It might be a nice way to round off the morning? Just an idea?

Hi Susie

Lunch after a last Sunday sounds like a cracking idea ;D ........... unfortunately I have to get littlest daughter to a party this Sunday afternoon though !

But Katie and I will be there with our "filing" system (and maybe some cake).

i really fancy the idea. will have to make sure im not down to work sunday first. also i would need to deffo know if its a 'date' so i can fone them and warn them im coming

[Kara Collie-Cross]

We'll be down at some stage.

I have found 2 sets of long thick curtains (lined), which may make good doggie bed making crafty material???

Will also have a bag of clothes, either for booty looty or cash4clothes.

Will it be too early to pick up from the last kit order?? ;D

If they can't come tomorrow, but they are happy for you to put their names down, please let me know ;D

Last merch order won't be ready for tomoz Conny, but hopefully we'll be picking it up this week, and I'll try to make sure everyone is suitably liveried up for the show ;D Mind you, if the weather holds, we're not going to wearing hoodies - hope everyone's got polo shirts

Soz for the very brief 'hit & run' visit and flying Suze-cwtch earlier.... We had just dropped off a box of stuff... I HAD to have a walk through the kennels... spent faaar to much time chatting to some dawggies and laughing and Jade's puppies (there's one really confident one who is hillarious!!!).... and then we had to dash cos I was late for meeting Cheryl to go to a wedding fayre.

But see you all next week.

We had fun again yesterday at the last Sunday, and I promised Amy I would put a picture of her with her new puppy Sam on the Forum. So here they are. I don't need to say anything, the picture speaks for itself!



Aaaaah!

[daffysmum]

Thanks Rach!

My daughter is such a poser .............she does love her puppy ;D

[Baglady]

Yes indeedy peeps - you are sooooo getting the hang of this now ;D

Some pics from our Last Sunday, we got a few at the very beginning, and a few at the very end, because the 'bit in the middle' was a lickle bit hectic

Getting ready......



Lynne 'She thinks we're going to fill all those boxes!
Shelley *worried* 'Oh no, we're never going to fill all those boxes'



At the end of the afternoon 'Yep, we filled all the boxes' How generous are peeps




Even though, in the spirit of 'You saw it here first' , some stuff didn't even hit the ground, and was snapped up before it got into a box!

Becky: 'I want! I want!' Caz: 'Show us your money first'



Fair exchange is no robbery (as my nanna used to say)



It's a done deal ;D

Caz: *thinks* That would have gone for 20p in a car boot sale
Becky: *thinks* I couldda paid a fiver for that on eBay

Smiles all round ;D



And talking of smiles....

Rach, are you bringing or buying eh? Rach always looks like the cat that got the cream...



Tracey - doing her 'Get that blimmin camera away from me' Fair play Tracey, you was totally set up last month, but we's soooooo grateful for the lovely Gazebo, kindly gifted, much appreciated



March was our best ever donations Last Sunday, some beautiful boutique, belts, bags, 'n' boots (Ok, it was sandals, but I've got a bit of an alliteration thing going on here). Plenty of crafty bits for Rach & her team, luvvley jubbley kong fillers, loadsa bric a brac and car booty, a bottle of something special for our Hair of the Dog Raffle (I'll be back to say a proper 'thank you'). Doggy things, Easter Show things, things to help our Woodlands Friends, and really, too many lovely lovely things to list, but every single one of them will benefit the dogs, either directly...

Woof! thanks to everyone who donated blankies, leads, harnesses, kong fillers, toys & treats for our dogs...

....or indirectly, by gifting us fabulous things that will help us raise funds for our kennel fund. Every penny raised from your donations goes straight into the kennel fund, and will give our little fundraising ticker dog Alfie a welcome boost along his journey.

Friends tee-shirted mascot says, on behalf of Friends, everyone at CDH, and especially our dogs, a massive

to everyone who donated on Sunday



oops - nearly forgot - nice biscuits Becky

We also took some random walkers piccies, which have gone on the dogs' rehoming threads, and bumped into Cerys, Rebecca and Maia, some of our Young Friends who recently did a sponsored run around Cosmeston to raise money for the Dogs Home...
Well done girls Hope to see you at our Show next weekend!

See you next month everyone

[Baglady]

Bethan, Jac, Craig and Lisa
