Thanks so much to everyone who turned out for our Midweek Walkathon today, especially Team Barclays, who once again, seized the day, walked (or were walked)
talked, and gave our dogs a brilliant 'outing'
Today was *a bit* special in lots of ways, and here's one of the reasons....
Roxy, Jade, Butch, Pork Chop and Bruno were wearing the very
best in 'Stray Dog Chic' today
Admiral Insurance
have
very kindly sponsored 50 I Need A Home Coats for our dogs, which will help massively in promoting their plight and attracting attention when the dogs are out with Friends
Massive thanks to Caz for putting the proposal to Admiral Insurance, and helping us to secure this fabulous sponsorship
We had an amazing turn out today from the minute we arrived at CDH. Lynne and Lynne and our army of young Friends
were the forefront and rearguard experienced walkers (to make sure Team Barclays arrived at Basecamp safely), accompanied, as ever by the lovely Gutsy
Jo and Nigel and Patch joined us early in the proceedings, and stayed for the duration....
My
very favourite troupers Abby & Bails brought Bern along to witness another first outing ;D Friends' trusty pasting table has at last been upgraded, many thanks to team 'No Dogs Aloud' for their very generous donation
And the afternoon team was swelled magnificently with the arrival of Sadie and Kara, who as ex residents of CDH got to wear their very own Fundraising Uniforms .......
The lovely Louie, Mavis, Patch and Sadie couldn't quite believe their eyes when the fabulous fluffball that is Poppy arrived....
But all the dawgs got along famously, and we're soooooo grateful to everydog who turned up, and who brought their mums and dads
We had a count up at the end of the day, and this is a testament to everyone who came and helped, we raised a magnificent
That's a record Meet & Greet total - which is totally amazing considering it was a weekday ;D There was loads of interest in all of our dogs too - and Butch had a
very special admirer who went straight to CDH to talk to the staff - watch this space
It was a really really lovely day, despite the showers, thank you soooo much to
everyone who helped today
psst - Holly, you were my little angel today
Big kisses from Grandad Susie
And Becky and Katie, Lieutenants of our Young Army of Friends, I think you two's are after my job
Thanks so much girls, you were golden!
