Once again, thank you all for giving up your precious time , especially this time of the year, when there seem to be an endless amount of functions to attend.. We missed many of our friends, that for various reasons, couldn't celebrate our dogs with us today. Today's event is purely to celebrate these glorious beings that share our homes,lives and souls. I couldn't even imagine a life without the magnificent DOG!!!

Wishing you all a safe and enjoyable festive season, and I look forward to continue our journey together in 2025!!
