We are holding an online auction to raise funds for Oldies Club, a fantastic charity I’m involved with, here in the UK, which rescues and rehomes older dogs aged 7+. We adopted our darling Jasper from Oldies Club and I have had the pleasure of meeting quite a few of the older dogs the charity has taken in and rehomed. The charity is run by a group of volunteers and our vet bills are rather high, so we are very grateful to everyone who has donated items to auction and is bidding on the wonderful things donated.
We have Items for You (human!), Items for Your Pet and Services, Days Out and Holidays (including some Discover Dogs tickets and a couple of fab midweek/weekend breaks!). Along with the items I’ve shown you below, we have a digital camera, various collars, harnesses, headcollars and leads, some dog beds (including Zippy Beds, which my dogs use and love), joint supplements, wellies, socks and hats and a guitar tuition DVD. The lovely author and dog lover, Lucy Dillon, has very kindly donated a signed copy of her forthcoming new book. Please pop along to facebook, take a look and have a bid!
I am auctioning a set of four of my A5 (when folded) photographic greeting cards. The set contains one card featuring each of the designs shown below (ie three Labrador cards and one with an amazing cream tea, one of my favourite non-dog images!). Each card comes with an envelope and can be used for a birthday, other occasion, or notecard – or just keep it for yourself because you like the photo
We have these stunning collars, very kindly donated by Melrose & Mutt, which are beautiful AND robust. They are designed to last and the company assures me are suitable for dogs who like to roll in mud, swim etc.There are two collars available for auction and the winning bidders can choose their preferred size in one of the designs shown in the image. Aren’t they gorgeous?
Booja-Booja very kindly donated these amazing Banoffee Toffee chocolate truffles. I haven’t tried these yet, but I have eaten lots of different Booja-Booja truffles in the past and they are AMAZING. Booja-Booja truffles are suitable for vegans and totally delicious.
This stunning Bull Terrier painting belongs to me, but I have had it a number of years (since bidding for it in another rescue auction) and I should have framed it, but haven’t, so I decided that someone else should enjoy it and Oldies Club could benefit from it being re-auctioned. Thanks also to a friend who very kindly bought it back for me in a previous auction and kindly agreed to me reauctioning it again for Oldies Club.
We have these two fun toys for auction too, very kindly donated by the Happy Staffy Shop. They have been tested by Staffies and are deemed to be pretty darn tough!
One Green Bottle has very kindly donated four of these fab and fun re-usable water bottles. Do take a look at their site and read all about why theses bottles are so good. I have been using their bottles for a few years myself.
There’s also a harness and lead set, kindly donated by Mekuti (which has also donated a doggie jumper). My own dogs wear these harnesses and they are great. I leave them on the dogs while they are off-lead and they don’t restrict their movement at all, they can run around and play without problem, as you can see below
I am also auctioning (probably) the World’s Smallest Potato, which frankly you’d be a fool to miss out on! Home grown by my husband and me. It’s truly something to be marvelled at, don’t you think? Ideal, if you are having The Borrowers to dinner!
There are lots of other fantastic items too, so please visit the auction and have fun bidding, knowing all your money will go towards helping older dogs in rescue. Thank you – and please feel free to share the auction link on facebook, twitter etc.
