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.
