Homing is still going well - we even have quite a few empty kennels at the moment, not that it'll stay like that for long with up to 16 dogs arranged to come in by the end of next week. We're also getting into the "show" season and I'm at Cannock Chase on Saturday (9th) for a Canine Awareness Day.
I also have some good news to share for a change. After our sad personal loss recently I'm delighted to introduce a new addition to the Wilkes household. It's quite a story of fate really. We'd arranged to help a collie in Ireland by bringing him back with us from the recent conference. The arrangements had been made a couple of weeks before we went so I had no way of knowing that on the very day Taff left us I'd meet Reilly (Freddy as he was known then) within a couple of hours of that happening.
There was just some strange spark as I saw him waiting outside the hotel in Dublin and after a couple of days thinking about it Sue and I decided to give him a home with us.

, as you can see he's a handsome chap and settled into his new home very quickly.

Whilst Taffy would never go out of his way to look for trouble with other dogs he was certainly not one who liked to interact with them - except for Sheba of course so the biggest change is getting used to a dog who just wants to say hello to every dog he meets.
We're hoping the weather stays fine on Friday because it could be his first trip to Formby Sands, a place that's just ideal for dogs.
Can I just remind everyone of the various fundraising links on the website like Buy At and EasyFundraising as they will certainly help with fundraising due the current economic situation.
Bye for now
Ben
