This is my first Blog for over 12 months and I have decided if I keep it short I may well blog more often. This particular Blog has been inspired by the up and coming Evesham Dogs Trust Summer Fun Day which is one of of my favourite events of the year,

Our second special boy is Slim who had a wonderful life in the Shetland Islands with Caron and her husband Andrew. It is Slims picture that you can see on the Blog ~ such a sweet, sensitive and loving boy.

To those of you who are new to the Miss Maggie fund welcome, you are the eyes and ears for the fund ~ please get in touch if you know of any any rescues that could do with a little support for one or more of their oldies.

At the beginning of the week I was thinking about Miss Maggie's Supper box, It's like a pot not reaching the boil on a slow burner, I would love to see more page likes, more participation and more older dogs to help.

In what has been another tumultuous week in politics, I have today been pondering a little ( I must have too much time on my hands) on why people cannot accept that we all have a view, opinions and values.

There is someone else who I think should be top of the class this week, and that is the wonderful Louise and her hubby who offered a foster home to little Sally.

I decided to sign up for the Dogs BFF Award Course (Dogs are our Best Friends) I read the 73 pages of course material in one sitting.
