Hi All, The GAL Valentines auction is now live for you to donate items to. This should be a good way to get rid of all those unwanted Christmas presents and raise money for GAL at the same time. Claire -- Edited by forum_admin at 08:56, 2008-02-01

Weeelll was exciting to me, just thought I would lure you in with a great title. On the beach here as the tide is going out there is always loads of lovely sea birds, looking for some scoff, curlews, oyster catchers etc. My favourite is the teeny weeny little (plovers?) they scuttle along like little w...

Now that we have well and truly got Christmas over with, I thought it was time for a wee fundraiser. So, Ive got a bundle of Football Cards which I am hoping will raise a few quid for GAL.

We all know how much you love dressing up your dogs in Christmas outfits, posing them in festive surroundings. Post pictures of your Christmas hound(s) and I will send some little prizes to those with the best outfits/poses. Also any ideas on how we are going to vote on this as I hate to judge these thi...

I was wondering if we should have a GAL forum auction, I am on a couple of other forums that do this and manage to raise loads of money. After Christmas we could all offer our unwanted jumpers, socks etc. I will also see if I can get some of our suppliers to donate collars etc. To start it off I also have a piece...

Well that was a bit of a rollercoaster weekend. On Friday Tara was in at the vets to have her leg x-rayed and have the kneecap problem fixed. Graham dropped her off at the vets in the morning and we got the call at 3pm to say that she could be picked up at 4:30. I left work early to meet Graham at the vets and arri...

Just to let everybody who has been following the story know that Annabel has had the first of her operations today. She must stay in the hospital for observation until Thursday evening. All has apparently gone well for her but, of course, the poor girl is going to be very sore. The really bad news is tha...

Not quite sure what to make of this. Auckland SPCA have released what they claim is the first single for dogs only. All the notes on it are supposed to be too high for us, but dogs can hear it fine.

Forget the Spànish, one of the biggest problems we now have at our shelter is British people returning to the Uk and dumping their pets. These poor dogs have been used to a home life and now end up in our shelter. In the past week we have had four such dogs dumped on us. Arriving at work this morning I was gree...
