Thank You's.....

Time just seems to slip by me, so here are some Thank Yous to everyone who has helped us fundraise or answered our cry for help for food over the last two weeks.

Thanks to both Jollyes and Whitley Bay Pet Supplies for wonderful donations, as well as an anonymous doner who dropped a whole load of bags off. And to every single person who has helped out by donating. The cupboard is no longer bare, but we need to keep the roll going.

With everything that happened last week I didn't get the chance to thank the team of girls for giving up their last two weekends respectively to fundraise at both the Cramlington and Sunderland Pets At Home Stores. Of course also Thank You to the staff of both stores and the people of both areas for making us so welcome. Last but not least, thanks to Derek, Sandra and all the people that support us down at Seaton Sluice on a Sunday. We appreciate all the effort you all put in.

This Sunday also saw the Little Snorters/Beauty and the Pooch Walk(in aid of SHAK)which I hear was a great day. Thanks to Leah and Beauty and The Pooch for arranging it, and to Lynn and our very own Honey for making a guest appearance! Honey was one of the 4 dogs we had out on sleepover over the weekend, and Lynn reports that once she settled she was great fun to have around. She made a lot of friends on the dog walk and got a lot of attention. A far cry from the bait dog that was described to me as evil.

Another slightly different run/walk was Sparky and Skip doing the Cumbrian Traverse with Trevor. Despite a fall and suspected cracked rib for their Dad all three completed the run, the two boys even doubled up as first aiders for their Dad.

Thanks to you all for doing so much to help us help the dogs that need it the most.

Speaking of the dogs on sleepovers, the other two are still in their potential homes. Their passes have been extended, so we're hoping for successful outcomes.
