Would have loved to come through for this one but my son obviously shares his Birthday with Amanda's daughter. Will definately try to travel through for the next one though.

I might be able to come (Have done the last 2 years in Princes Street and it was really good) but I am not sure because our son gets the keys to his new flat on Friday 8th and we might be involved in removal activities on the Sunday. Still Timmy and I will try to get along if we can.

Hi,


More than happy to attend this one.  Had great fun last year.  Dusting Sophie's Santa coat down right now.


Can do the two hours, but happy to fit into another time slot if need be.


Rhona


ps Siouxsie, ignore my pm.  Maybe I should have checked the events page first!!

Come on folks- who else is up for making Edinburgh Christmas Shoppers day by letting them meet our beautiful hounds and getting to find out more about them as well as raising funds for GAL?

We will be there with Tara and Zak.


Zak will be going for the sympathy vote with his little bandaged leg as he cut his paw and the vet had to put stitches on it.

Timmy is shattered after his 2 hour stint. He got part of a can of Guinnness (his favourite treat) as a reward when he came home and since then he has been flaked out in his bed.


People were very generous and friendly. So I hope we raised a fair amount of money.

Having to apologise for not posting here earlier (due to a bit of a crisis at home). Just a quick thanks to all who shaked the cans today in the miserable Edinburgh weather (i will mention names later) and a great big thanks to all the wonderful hounds that were brilliant. I was going to start the count now but deciding that with how tired i am feeling, it would probably be best for the morning - so i will post here tomorrow and let you all know of the amount raised today.

Again thank you to all

Well Done to all those who braved the elements to shake a can. That's a fantastic sum of money raised.

Also Sophie had her Santa coat on and Sunny had her Santa hat on - very festive doggies indeed.

I will try to post the photo of Millie & Willow later.

HUGE congratulations to all.  Was the weather in Edinburgh as lousy as the west coast then?  What a brave (and hardy) bunch  and what a fantastic amount raised!
