Saffy and Vicky invited Frank, Sarah, Andy and myself down to Fife dog Training Club at North Queensferry, it was their Christmas party. Sarah and Andy kindly judged the puppy classes,It was very busy and a great night was had by all the canines and their handlers. We marvelled at all the work everyone put in especially for the fancy dress classes.it was good to see how many people thorougly enjoyed the time spent training their best friends, the dogs were all so happy at having a " job " to do. Then at the end of the night we were presented with a cheque for £1750 we were staggered ( I even shed a wee tear ) and yes Saffy made fun of me lol. It always makes us feel very humble when so many people go out of their way to help our work here at Second Chance so many many many thanks from us all xx.

We would like to thank Lloyds Banking Group very much for thinking of us.

Sarah thank you this will go a long way of helping our residents now and in the future.

Wee Alfie / Mylo and Murphy the puppy got lots of cuddles.It was so nice to see them all, hadn't seem them for awhile. They adopted Robbie ( Santa) from us about 9 years ago and they already had Pheobe who chose them at the Pet Care Centre.

Wee Alfie showing some of our residents the ropes. Think he just lost his ball to Tess lol x

George and his wife came to visit today,George works off shore. He has been coming to kennels for the last few years. The money is raised on the Saltire Platform by all the workers. We would just like to say how grateful we are to them all, its very much appreciated. This is George with wee Alfie after giving us a cheque for £200-00.

Poor Hazel so sorry didnt realize you also tramped 26-2 miles along with Paul well done you !!

Real blast from the past today, a visit from Chris and her girls. Chris adopted two Collie's from us way back in 2001, so before the girls were on the scene. Sadly Jake has passed away but Sally is still going strong. The girls had great fun walking the dogs and playing with them all. I know wee Alfie will certainly sleep well tonight as will the resty of them including the girls lol !! It was so nicve to see them all.xx

Didn't take Harris long to discover where the toys were kept and the noisier the better he likes them of course !!!

Young Colin won third prize from the guess the dogs name at Bark in the Park. He really wanted the dog though, so we found a wee Monkey for him.X

It was lovely to meet the girls and one of them is going to come and walk some dogs for us, the other one has three Springers so we think she will be doing her fair share of walking them.
