I must admit the best thing about Summer has to be all the dog shows! On Saturday dad took Mr Binx and Chance up to Colne Valley Garden Centres dog show to advertise the rescue and of course Chance. The main reason actually was to see how Binx would react in a large crowd of people and dogs... he was very well behaved and didn't make a noise so I am very proud. This Saturday coming we will be going to Dogs Unleashed in Derbyshire. This dog show is amazing and after going last year we decided to book the Saturday off to go this year. It is huge with lots of charities and stalls to visit, plenty of activities for the dogs to get involved with and even a swimming pool for the dogs! Fingers crossed the weather stays nice and if your down for the day keep a look out for us to meet Chance, we will be wearing WYDR t-shirts to support the rescue and fingers crossed find some homes. Oh and if you do see us wish my dad a happy birthday :P.
On July 27th we will be going down to K9 Party in the Park in Halifax with the dogs... and no doubt Chance will be still with us then. Will clarify that one closer to the day as it will depend on if I can have a day off work and if I'll be suffering from my 21st birthday on the Saturday xD Bark in the Park will also be on the 16th August at Ravensknowle Park... No doubt I will be working but will more than likely pop down in my dinner break.
Yes this is a bit of a random post but what I'm trying to say is dog shows are brilliant for a number of reasons. We can get the word out about the rescue, if your going how about emailing us for some posters to print off and hand out, we can get Chance out and show what a good handsome dog he is and try find him a home. They are such good opportunities to socialise your dogs and can help you interact with your dogs on things like agility. If we didn't go to a dog show when we first got Tinks we'd never have known about her agility potential.So many charities go to these events, you can donate, have a go at a raffle or just find out more about different charities. Most of these events will have free microchipping which is becoming law in 2016 so please make sure your dogs are chipped. If your dogs are chipped just get them checked while your there... you never know the chip may have immigrated or deactivated somehow. And the final reason to go the dog shows?? Its so much fun, seeing your dogs happy and seeing everyone elses happy dogs, its hard not to enjoy yourself! So enjoy Summer everyone and if you have a day off on the weekend, find a dog show and go enjoy yourself!!
Lucy, Tinks, Mr Binx, Sally and Chance xx
