This weekend yet again is going to be manic! I thought last weekend was more manic than usual but how wrong could someone be!
There is all change yet again on the dog front. The lad that was due to arrive with us from the Northern pound has now gone to Dogs Trust thankfully.... this is because we needed to make way for another poundie girl who is estimated to be over 8 plus and buzzing yet again with a serious mouthfull of rotten teeth she is landing tomorrow. We are also welcoming a young lad from Lancaster way this weekend who is coming as a boarder on behalf of Lurcher Link. www.lurcher.org Kaye and I work very closely and she is as full as we are yet again! Sadly the doors are going to have to shut again and its heartbreaking but we once again have no room. The vets bills and kenneling bills this month are horrendous and we have to work out away to raise yet more funding than we are already busting our gut with our fabulous team of fundraisers and supporters to try and bring in. Its so frustrating! People are fantastic and they only have so much to be able to give and we totally understand that and need to push forward and find more unique ways of getting us out and about into the public eye. Any suggestions please someone let me know!

On the fundraising note though we do have a couple of thanks you's to say! Last weekend a group of our girls including Vixens foster Mum held a two day Meet and Greet at Pets at Home Stafford.
During the course of the two days and thanks to public generosity they managed to raise a fabulous ....
£245.72 pence
Thank you ladies and gentleman!
Also on a more painful note.... out on a transport run last week I got a text from Laura who along with her husband Pete adopted a dog from us a beautiful collie x lurcher called Marley.
The text simply said " Pete has started Marathon Ok if he completes it should be about 350 coming to Gap!"
Horrified I rang her! I hadnt realised he was running it, after asking her if he was mad she confirmed that yes indeed he is but he would be fine.
We got news later that poor Pete had had problems with a weak knee at 8miles but with sheer grit and determination he carried on and finished bless him. Pete you are a bit of a hero. He he is gritting his teeth and waving to the crowds. Also the next morning refusing to move out of bed with Marley slapping a helpful paw on his face trying to get him to change his mind. You can also see Tyler Marleys full collie brother assisting!
Also a massive thanks have to go out to Kate Davis and the team at Npower Stoke on Trent for helping to raise a fabulous £50 with help of the training department your all stars! Npower also supported us at Christmas with a wonderful donation of food and bedding for our homeless hounds.
This weekend is going to pass by in a whir of dog walking, homechecking, transport runs and fundraising and is going to be just as busy weekend for the team as usual!
