Hello Everyone

If you are reading this in Cumbria, you will know we have had wall-to-wall sunshine all week with very warm temperatures.  Martini and Daisy are struggling during the day and don't really want to venture too far on a walk so we are keeping the walks short and sweet.  We have had a very busy week at the salon with a high demand for very short haircuts.

We have posted a photo of Mo and Daisy today because yesterday Mo had to wait a little while for her haircut and decided that she would really like to wait in Martini's bed.  She just stood and stared at him and once he got up she just jumped right in with Martini having to go and sit on the chair by the door.  Mo and Daisy have one tooth between them (Daisy has just the one tooth) and they look so sweet together with their tongues hanging out to one side - bless them both. 

There will be a free photo sitting this coming Saturday with Joanne Caffrey.  In order to have the free sitting it is necessary to book in advance to avoid having to wait.  There are still a few spaces left from 4pm so if you were thinking of having your own portrait done or your dog photographed (or both of you together) the booking can be made through the salon.

Hello Everyone

We didn't write a blog last week as we were away on Sunday and Monday at Morag's mummy's new house in York.  We all had a lovely time and of course Martini and Daisy were thoroughly spoiled by their Grandma.  Tuesday was busy at the salon and Morag attended a Canine Awareness First Aid Course on Tuesday evening so Martini and Daisy went to a babysitter for the evening.  Morag really enjoyed the first aid course and found it not only very informative but it was really enjoyable and conducted in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  She even had a go at CPR on a pretend dog called Casper and now drives Martini and Daisy nuts by checking their heart beat and pulse (just to make sure they are ok of course).  

We would like to thank Joanne Caffrey for taking the new photos for our website www.doggydoos.org and we have posted a photo from the Poodle Maps page today which features Martini and Daisy.   We think the photos are fantastic and a big thank you to Ruby, Daisy, Rocky, Bess and Lola (Cavaliers) for taking the time on a Saturday to come along and have their photos taken... there were biscuits involved of course because it is hard to pose on an empty stomach!

The weather here in Cumbria is very cold and windy today.  We have been out for a walk up the road this afternoon but nearly got blown away and poor Martini can't see where he is going if it is too windy - the hazard of being a very fluffy pooch!  Hope the weather is better where you are!

A date for your diary: K9 Capers Day will be held on 16 June 2012 between 11am and 4pm.  There will be a K9 fancy dress competition at 2pm and the prizes are gift baskets for the best boy and best girl.  We will have a "bring and buy" table and a raffle (there are fantastic prizes to be won) and all proceeds will go to Matching Partners Canine Rescue.  We are also hoping to have home made baking available to buy and we have one person who has volunteered to bake a cake so far.  If you would like to bake something for the cake sale then let us know.  It should be a great day so hope you can make it.
