July 2010 Update

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

Prize winner Jack Nixon came to the salon on 17 July. Jack won first prize in the raffle we had at Skelton Show on 3 July. Jack had only been adopted a few weeks before the raffle by Ann and Ian Nixon of Carlisle. Jack is a very sweet little Lhasa Apso and has found a lovely family to live with. After some persuasion, Morag managed to convince Ann to be in the photo because it is always nice to know who won First Prize. Toby from tjf photography came to speak to Ann to arrange when Jack’s “pawtrait” will be done so he kindly offered to take our photo for the dog blog too – thank you Toby! So, from left to right it is Ann Nixon, Jack and Morag – as you can see we were all laughing at the time including Jack.

Another prize winner came to the salon on the same day. Inca and her mummy Frances Brown came in to collect their prize of the “Wild Thing” collar and lead set. Inca had a haircut and pamper session too and will be a regular visitor to the salon so we will put her photo on the regulars section of the Scruff to Buffed page. Inca appears to be a cross between a Jack Russell and a Lhasa and is another little sweetie!

As the raffle was very popular we have decided to hold a raffle before Christmas. We thought we would put the tickets on sale at the end of October/beginning of November and hold the draw on 23 December so the prize winners would have their prize in time for Christmas to put under the tree.

July 2010

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy.

July has been a very busy month so far. Daisy had her 5th birthday on 1 July - Yappy Birthday Daisy – she had a lovely day which consisted of presents, eating, sleeping and “mooching” around the garden.

On 3 July we had a stand at Skelton Show. Thank you to everyone who came to visit our stand. We made lots of new four legged friends who came to enjoy a drink on what turned into a very warm day. Our friend Fritha and her family came to give us a hand and we really couldn't have managed without them. This is a little bit like the Oscars but we really wanted to take the time to thank a few people. Thank you to Gillian, Martyn and Jordan for lending us their gazebo. Thank you to Jean, Gary and Pip for lending us their table. A great big Bow Wow thank you to Fritha, Toby, Keita and Sol who gave up their whole Saturday to help us and even helped in advance of the show with various jobs. Fritha suggested we travel to show in their VW campervan “Rudi” and thank goodness we did – we managed to fit Fritha's family of four, the three of us and then all the equipment and boxes too!

We had all had a lovely day and Martini and Daisy even took part in the dog show. Toby of tjf photography took a photo of Morag and Martini in the dog ring and he took some other photos too. Why don't you click the link to his website on the “Pawtraits” page and see if your photo is there?

Congratulations to Jack Nixon (Lhasa Apso) from Carlisle who won first prize in the raffle. We will post a photo after Jack comes to the salon on 17 July. Congratulations to all the other prize winners – we hope you enjoy your prizes.

News Flash – a cat has been in the salon! Skye came in for dematting so we took his photo and will post it on the regulars section of the website.
