Quite A Big Practical Day.....

 It was another great practical day yesterday as I was joined by Rachel and Nima and we ventured off to a new beautiful place to explore.

I'd decided to give Axel a run out as and with their being two of us, Tye came too so he could have a break from kennel life. 

Nima is a wonderful 'stooge' dog, so I wasn't to worried that she wouldn't get on with them, I was more concerned about Tye accepting Axel.

I shouldn't have worried though, all three were impeccably behaved, and its incredible to think that they had never each other before! 

We enjoyed our walk so much that we decided to go back to the kennels and treat another two dogs. 

This time it was two who had met Nima before but hadn't met each other,  Sky and Rocco. As you can see, all three had an amazing time too.

We are so proud of all of them, its an amazing experience watching dogs that have been written off by so many others interact with each other and look to passers by that they are just 'normal' pets.

All four boys were in bed when I left the kennels, content and tired, even Nima was worn out! 

Next up was a sleep over for Tia as she's at the vets to be speyed today. She is still a little whirlwind, but she has come on so much in the time we have had her, I knew she would enjoy the company of my dogs.....

Benji and Tia Enjoy The Seaside.....

 I was lucky enough to enjoy another great practical day yesterday and got Benji and Tia to the seaside.

It was a huge step for them both, but they behaved impeccably, ignoring the crowds of people, children and dogs.

Whilst he enjoyed himself, I think its fair to say the big wide world blew Benji's head a bit. Tia on the other  hand just dragged me to every rock pool she could find! 

New Shop To Open This Saturday.....

Today we are delighted to announce wr are opening a new charity shop this Saturday in Amble. The premises at 46-48 Queen Street are in the centre of the town and were newly refurbished before SHAK took the lease. Following a whirlwind of activity a team of volunteers has been recruited and a quantity of super quality stock has been donated. Call in between 9.30am and 5pm on Saturday and 11am and 4pm on Sunday to see for yourself.

 SHAK Founder Stephen Wylie said "This is an incredibly important step for us, owing to the disruptions of the virus we have lost all our regular fundraising events. We see this shop as being a vital new source of funds for SHAK. We have been so heartened by the support from our regular givers and this new opportunity in the most vibrant and attractive town centre will enable many more people to support SHAK and give Amble residents and visitors a fantastic source of great bargains."
