Bandit the swimming doggie

Thanks so much to mai pals who donated some pawket money to Bandit my pal who did a sponsored swim on Sunday. As you can see Bandit had lots of fun in the pool! Well done my little swimming pal.

Get Ready

Hey Gimme that Ball


Hee Hee Got It

Thanks again mai pals, as a special treat Bandit will be helping his staff make some yummy doggie treats for us to give away as prizes at the September #pawpawty.

Pawsonal Appeal


As you know I am not in the habit of making pawsonal appeals. However when a friend told me about a challenge that her doggie Bandit took part in I could not resist asking my anipals for a little help.

Bandit is a gorgeous Polish Lowland Sheepdog with a wilful personality. She is a bossy little dog and is very cheeky. Her favourite habit of the moment is plucking cherry tomatoes, strawberries and raspberries direct from the garden. Yes she is food obsessed. I have to say she sounds like my kind of gal.

A few years ago Bandit was savaged by some dogs and this resulted in her having a severed spinal cord as you can imagine this was a very serious injury and for a while it was not at all clear if Bandit would pull through. But the great news is thanks to the care and love from her folks and a great medical treatment she did. Part of her continued recovery is to go for doggie swimming sessions at the Greyfriars Rehabilitation and Hydrotherapy Referral Centre.

This is a great place where doggies who are injured or sick can get valuable treatment to help them get better or to enable them to cope better with longterm problems.


Bandit loves swimming and she took part in a sponsored swim yesterday the 6th September to raise funds for the Barney Fund which was set up by Greyfriars Rehabilitation and Hydrotherapy Referral Centre, to provide funding for dogs from all kinds of backgrounds needing rehabilitation so they can lead fit, happy and healthy lives.

If you have any spare pawket money please consider making a donation however small to help Bandit reach her goal. We will hopefully have some photos of Bandit taking part in the sponsored swim which I will share with you over the next few days.

Thanks Pals

Woodstock what a Blast


Well mai pals I have just about recovered from the Woodstock #pawpawty, what a great pawty with great pals and what a lot of money we raised for TEARS.

I would like to say a special thanks to all of the anipals who generously donated some fantastic pwizes for all of the quizes we had I really do appreciate your continued support of these events. So a big woofy bark out to.




Sekurity
As usual we had the sekurity team led by @snick_the_dog who made sure that we did not have any unwelcome guests gate crashing the pawty as well as keeping us all in order. This pawty had more than its fair share of exotic nip and other concoctions so we were grateful to the sekurity team for making sure we all stayed safe. So a paws salute to @shawneeshep, @treehuggingpets, @mizcleo, @brutusthedane ,@bloodhoundndots, @morriscat, @lexiloudog

If you want to read about all the goings on at the pawpawty please make sure you check out the official sekurity report.

Music
A pawty is not a pawty without music and what great sounds all of the happening DJ and CJ team provided. My great pal @fergusthedog organised the whole schedule so a big dougal lick to fergus and all of the fantastic team @hotmbc,@flothecat,@perrythebirman,@georgetheduck,@bunnyjeancook


Barktenders
Due to popular demand we created a Barktenders team and a big meow goes out to @javathecat for all the hard work on getting a great team together. As if that was not enough we also had the services of the Jaba Jazz Bar & eCafé at this months pawpawty and they even created a special themed menu just for the woodstock event. So a big I'm never drinking again (or at least until the next pawpawty) cheers to all the gang.

Quizmasters
We had 65 pwizes to give away at the pawpawty so that meant that we had to do organise a lot of questions and then run the quizzes. So a big meow to @Romeothecat for helping with the questions and for being a quizmaster and a a special dougal wooftastic barkout to all the quizmasters who did a great job with all of the quizzes. Fanks to @cosmohavanese, @sylviedog, @romeothecat, @mizzbassie, @brewskiebutt.

Winners
Well what fun you all had trying to get your paws on the great pwizes on offer, sorry you could not all be winners but here are the lucky gang who won.
