Our Walkhaven day was a combination of “beagle-fun-in-the-sun” and a bit of a charity drive for Animals in Distress .

A lot of people were already away for their Christmas holiday… but I was blown away by the generosity of everyone who was at Walkhaven with their donations… there was so much stuff, our back seat was FULL and I had to get my friend, Michelle, to take 4 big bags of dog food with her in her car!! – she doesn’t have dogs, so I knew I could trust her with it! hee hee

Look at all of this stuff… (and this is without the 4 bags Michelle took home for me)

Donations were:

• about 8 x big bags dog pellets
• A couple of smaller bags of pellets
• about 20 tins of dog food
• gravy pouches
• bowls
• collars and leads
• blankets
• lots of Bob Martin goodies (tick/flea collars, shampoo, deworming tablets, fly spray etc…)
• even a toy!
• Some Kitty pellets and tinned food
• Doggy treats – chew sticks and Beenos

Special thanks to everyone who donated something… I know they Animals in Distress will REALLY appreciate it!

It was a very hot day and we all had lots of fun… our next beagle day will be at Delta Park – for a change… and we’ll see which we prefer

Keep an eye on the website for more details and also for the dates of the hunts for 2010~!!

Hey Everyone…

our last Walkhaven day for the year will be on Sunday 20 December at 2pm. I know some of you might be away… but we’ll have a run for you guys

What I would like to do, is ask everyone who comes to please bring something to donate to Animals in Distress from your beagle. I will drop off all the donations to the society, on behalf of the Beagles!

Donations can be:

• Cat or dog food (tinned or dry)
• Old (or new!) blankets or towels
• Any animal bedding (as long as it is machine washable – ie none of that horrible grey underfelt stuff)
• Newspapers (to use in the hospital area)

This is not by any means compulsory, but it would be greatly appreciated and go a long way in helping animals who are not as fortunate as your beagle

If you would like to donate something, and cannot make it to Walkhaven on 20 Dec, please email me or see Animals in Distress’s website for more info.

I hope you can make it! – See you there!!

Sign up on Facebook, or on the beagle site.

- Happy Beagling,

Tanya

As some of you know, a portion of proceeds made from sales from the BeagleShop are donated to a charity dedicated to helping animals. These charities are listed on our Links Page.

Last week I donated some money to Wetnose Animal Rescue Shelter. They sent us this thank you letter.

So, to everyone who has bought something from the BeagleShop, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!! Donations come from sales of Hunting Bibs, Badges, Stickers, Flasks, T-Shirts… absolutely everything on sale is a donation towards a charity! Thanks guys I’m not selling this stuff to make money for myself!

-Happy Beagling,

Tanya
