Happy "Howlloe'en" Everyone from Morag, Martini and Daisy!

As you know, Martini loves posing in clothes so we thought we would treat him to his own "Howlloe'en" bonnet and we accordingly ordered a fetching pumpkin hat on the internet for him. Unfortunately, when the pumpkin hat arrived it looked more like a tomato hat but as you will see in his photo he wore it proudly and we just didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise! Not to worry, we have got him a cozy Christmas scarf from the Puppy Angel range (available in the salon) which really suits him and we will post that photo closer to Christmas.

Yesterday, Sam (Bichon) had his appointment in the salon and his family asked Toby to photograph him so they could upload the photo for a Christmas card. He is such a cute dog and Toby took loads of photos - we love the photo shoots as they are such fun to do. We had a little preview of a couple of the photos and we know his family will love the pictures too!

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

It has been a beautiful day here in sunny Cumbria - a bit on the nippy side but still a lovely day. Our garden looked like it had snowed overnight with the thick frost but we all put our coats on so we were nice and cosy for our early morning walk. As it was a lovely sunny day we went for a local walk this afternoon on the the edge of the Lake District National Park. We always appreciate and know how lucky we are to live in such a lovely area of the world and are spoilt for choice when it comes to walks.

You will have seen a cute little Shih Tzu puppy called Harry who did some of the modelling on our boutique page. Harry's sister Tallulah also comes to the salon although she lives with a different family. On Friday this week we had two other little Shih Tzu puppies (Bailey and Riley) who are also 5 months old come along to the salon and it turns out that they are all siblings! Out of a litter of seven, we know four of the puppies and thought that was quite unusual. They are all so sweet and have great personalites. We will have to wait and see if the other three puppies arrive...!

We have posted a photo of Martini today so hope you like it - we think he is very photogenic.

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

We normally try to write our blog on Sunday but unfortunately ran out of time this week. Daisy and Martini needed a haircut each and as the weather was so nice we then went for a walk in the Lake District instead of the coast - not fellwalking we hasten to add as Martini would insist on being carried!

We have looked through our photos for another photo of Daisy and found one of her when we had a trip to Gairloch in North West Scotland during the Easter weekend. Martini and Daisy love beach holidays and there are some fantastic beaches in Scotland. We are often lucky enough to find we have the whole beach to ourselves. We hope you like the photo of Daisy we have posted today.

The photos of the models are now on the boutique page. All the models look gorgeous in their outfits so we were very pleased with the gallery.

We have put all the raffle prizes on display in the salon and although the plan was to put the tickets on sale from 18 October we have already sold some tickets. You are very welcome to come and view the prizes. Don't forget about Toby's special offer for a photo session - details are on the Yappy Christmas page!

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

If you read last week's blog, you will be aware of the photo shoot which involved the little models Harry, Jack, Ozzy, Ruby and Theo. Unfortunately, Toby the photographer(http://www.tjfphotography.co.uk/) who took the photos was called away from Cumbria all week but he is back now and has given us the photos for the website. As there were hundreds of photos taken on the day, the final photos had to be shortlisted. Morag phoned Ian (http://www.@cybercafe.co.uk/) who looks after the website and he said he would do the page by Tuesday. Morag will send text messages to the little models once she knows the photos are on the website. It is all so exciting and we can't wait all the models look fantastic!

Morag has sorted out all the prizes for the Christmas raffle. There are 10 great prizes in total; 1st prize is a pawtrait session with Toby, 2nd - luxury gift basket, 3rd - pamper gift basket, 4th - dental gel and fresh breath foam gift set, 5th - selection of Rachel Hale cards, 6th - Christmas glitter collar (one size), 7th - box of Wilson's chocolates for dogs, 8th - red paw print retractable lead, 9th - Puppy Angel bandana, 10th prize - Hollywood star collar charm. All the prizes are on display in the salon so good luck to everyone who buys a ticket!

Today we have posted a photo of Martini which Toby took for us. (Morag says you can always see the difference from her "snaps" and Toby's great photos!) By the way, Martini has settled down again after our little holiday - we think he just loved playing on the beautiful beach so much he didn't want to come home.
