My first dog show

Today I went to help mum on a stall at a dog show. We were there to tell people about Oldies Club, a UK registered charity which rescues and rehomes older dogs and try to raise some funds. We did raise some money but mum looked sad and said it was a lot less than last year. Still, she said Oldies Club is really grateful for every penny, especially as it is facing high vet bills, and we met some really nice people.


Here's a photo of the stall being manned by Kelly from Oldies Club and her partner. If you look carefully under the table you can make out two black labs, that's me and Sir Henry!


Mum also took some photos of an oldie girl - a Heinz 57 sort apparently?! - who mum said reminded her a lot of Sweetie, an older girl that my family adopted a few years ago. Sadly Sweetie passed away last year, about a year before I was born, so I didn't ever get to meet her, but I know she meant a great deal to my mum and dad and had a happy few years here. Sweetie was the reason my mum got involved in Oldies Club, she wanted to help other oldies find their new forever homes.

Maddie-Pup!

Inspired by my blog, Maddie-Pup (who lives with an internet friend of my mum's) has set up her own blog :-) You can read Maddie-Pup's blog here.

I have a new collar!

My mum bought me a lovely new collar, hand-made just for me. It's made with a cherry material and mum said it looks wonderful with my shiny black coat :-)

Here's a photo of me in my new collar. If mum manages to take any better photos I will show you. It's very smart isn't it? It was made by a lovely lady who helps rescue dogs and mum said I deserved a treat as I am now five months young!

Oldies need your help

I know I am only a young 'un myself, but I wanted to post an appeal on behalf of Oldies Club, a UK registered charity which rescues and rehomes older dogs and needs *your* help.

There are lots of older dogs needing a home, including Bouncer, a lovely sixteen(!) year old Labrador cross.


Oldies Club needs people to:

1. Donate money so it can help more dogs
2. Adopt an older dog
3. Foster an older dog until he/she can be rehomed
4. Donate money so it can help more dogs
5. Help with transporting and/or homechecking on a voluntary basis
6. Help with fundraising/events on a voluntary basis
7. Donate money so it can help more dogs
8. Put up posters and tell people about Oldies Club
9. Donate money so it can help more dogs

Ladies wot lunch

Today I went off for lunch with mum and dad and my two very special Aunties :) My lovely Auntie Mindy let mum and dad adopt me, while my special Auntie Helen and her family fostered me for a week before I went to live with mum and dad.

It was a lovely day for meeting up with friends. We had lunch in a great pub - and in true Labrador stylee, had bits of food fed to me under the table :)

My "cousin" Barney, one of Auntie Helen's dogs, came too and he and I had a bit of a run around in the pub garden and posed for some photos (that's Barney and me, or large and little!) above, left.



I did a spot of posing and looking pretty :-)







Barney looked his usual very handsome self.

World Guitars

Today I went with mum and dad to World Guitars, Glos. The shop owners said I was a lovely girl and made a big fuss of me!

They were putting up some new mirrors though and I got confused at one point and started barking at my reflection.

I couldn't understand why I was standing with my mum, but could see her standing with another dog at the end of the room?!! Mum & dad laughed at me!

On the way home I got to share a little of mum's egg mayo roll and eat the extra filling out of the paper bag. Yummy!

Here I am with my dad :-)

Pedicure and Boyz n the wood

Today mum and dad took me to see the vet nurse today to have my toenails clipped! Mum said she was a bit worried about doing it herself as my claws are black so we went to see the pro. No photos of that but mum did take some photos of my brothers having a run in the woods this afternoon ...


Running off to investigate what is lurking around the corner!
