Bath Cats & Dogs Home ~ Open Day 2011 ~ Pet Photography

Today was the annual open day at Bath Cats & Dogs Home. It was a beautifully sunny day and there were lots of people and dogs in attendance, so I hope the day was a huge success for the Home. Well done to everyone involved in making it a fantastic day

Apologies to anyone who was hoping to visit my pet photography stall. I made the decision to pull out, due to the ongoing health concerns of our dear old boy, Jasper.

I did however manage to pop up to the Open Day for a few hours and am so glad I did as I got to meet some lovely dogs and their people. I wish I could have said hello to every dog and his/her family, but time didn’t permit. I have included photographs of some of the dogs I met, below – hope you enjoy

Check back soon as I will have a further blog and a competition coming soon too.

A gorgeous little boy, don’t you think?

It was a day for pretty boys …How would you resist that face, ever?!

This sweet girl is 15! She was adopted from the home as a young-un and today she won the Golden Oldies class. Her Dad was rightly very proud

Take care, all of you.

Adopted! ~ Snowy ~ Saturday Blog Hop

Update Jan 2012: Heard the wonderful news that the lovely Snowy has been adopted. Wishing you much happiness in your forever home, lovely boy

I met this gorgeous boy a while back now and will be posting more about him in the not-too-distant future hopefully, but I wanted to take the opportunity of a Saturday Blog Hop from Life with Dogs to share his photo and let you know that he is looking for his very own forever home. His name is Snowy, he is a Jack Russell Terrier cross and he is being rehomed by Bath Cats & Dogs Home, in the UK.

He is a really sweet boy. I really enjoyed meeting and photographing him and he very much deserves a home of his very own. He can live with children aged 12+ and is looking for an active home which will provide the exercise and company he requires. He needs a home where he will be the only pet and would very much like to become someone’s special companion.

Snowy is 11, but please don’t let that put you off. Terrier sorts are generally hardy little things and Snowy is very much up for enjoying his walks, but with the benefit of being calm and quiet at home, when left for short periods.

I will do a full blog for Snowy soon, but you can read more about him on the rescue’s site, where you can find contact details should you feel you can offer him a suitable and loving homePlease mention you saw him at Poochie Freak.

Soap Free Month ~ Pet Photography

Hello lovely people. I am three nights into a Soap Free Month. That sounds pretty revolting, yes? Take a look here for more info.

If you have a £, $, Euro or two, to sponsor me, I’d be very, very grateful. All money goes directly to Oldies Club to help the wonderful older dogs in its care. The charity is run by volunteers and its vet bills exceeded £2378 last week – that’s just one week!

‘Me and my Oldie’ ~ he was saved by Oldies Club one New Year’s Eve after being taken to the vets to be put down.

My dear husband photographed us days after Jasper arrived.

Thank you for reading and possibly donating. If you use facebook and/or Twitter, would you consider sharing this blog post there (very easy if you use the share buttons below this post) to see if anyone else can help?

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated so far – you are amazing

And before you go, I realise I have another 29 nights without Soap, so if you have any film recommendations (which aren’t too scary!), please leave a comment below and tell me about them!
