We had a fantastic fundraiser on Saturday at Holdenhurst village hall, so many people (about 100) and gorgeous dogs (too many to count!) joined us and bought our food & drinks, and took part in our raffle & tombola. We will have a final total soon, we are just waiting on a couple of final small promises, but we are over the £1,000 mark, which means we can donate to more animal charities 😁❤️
A huge thank you to Karina Nethersole as without her amazing baking this would not be possible, also my fantastic helpers Stacy Davis, Lucille, Mandy Marsh, Helen Hardcastle, Andrew Nethersole, Jill Fisher,Jackie & Alan Saunders. A big thank you too to Lindy Shaw who made all the delicious rolls & sandwiches, and the twins for the Salmon quiche, Jill for the apple cake and Petra for the cupcakes. Final total soon 😁❤️ xx

Maverick did his 5k race today and did so well. He has raised over £200 on line (Inc gift aid) and has £65 on his written sponsorship form . He also has a couple of promises still to come in, so should get near £300. Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored him, and if you meant to but haven't got round to it yet, it is not too late, his just giving page will stay open for a while, or I have his sponsorship form at home. Thanks again everyone ###x ❤️

Maverick has been in training and ready for his race tomorrow…..

Maverick is taking part again this year, in the Race4Life at Poole on the 31st May. If this is a cause close to your heart, or you just feel sorry for my male Labrador dressing in pink, including Deeley Boppers, would you consider sponsoring him? Even a pound or two mounts up, here is his just giving page - https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/maverickjanices-race-for-life-140766. Or I have a sponsor form at home. Many thanks xx

Maverick is dressing up in pink again (poor boy) and doing the Poole 5K at the end of May, with his mum, to raise money for cancer research. If this is a cause close to your heart, or you just feel sorry for him, please sponsor, every single pound helps. Cancer is happening right now, which is why w...

Today we had a party for my Maverick, who was 5 on bank holiday Monday. He had a little party of his own on his actual birthday - the 3rd photo, and shared the cake & sausages with the Tuesday dogs at Lindys. Today he had his official party with his pals - we have Beau, Skye, Bertie and Bugsy on the couch with him, and then we have Digby & Charlie on the back, who decided to switch ends for some reason this time 😂 Happy 5th birthday gorgeous boy, love you lots ###x 🎂🎉🐶🐾❤️❤️❤️

Today we had an early birthday party for Morris, who turns 13 on Saturday 💕 He has been coming to Creche since he was very young, he was a very naughty, typical terrier back then, always into mischief. Now he is much more sedate but still enjoys his Creche day. Happy birthday gorgeous boy, wishing you many more 🎂🐶🎉❤️ ###
