If you're a regular reader of this blog and see that it's not updated as regularly over the next week or so, don't panic. It's just that I'll be off work for a few days (minor medical issue, nothing to worry about!) so it's possible that no-one will have time to fill in my posts!

With any luck there will be a chance to pop up a post from home, but please do keep coming back - it'll be back to normal by the beginning of September when we'll be welcoming a new member of the web team and giving her a chance to introduce herself.

Here is a picture of a lovely Pekingese Miko, seeking a home at Dogs Trust Newbury (01488 658391) to keep you going until my return.

Dog of the Week: Ernie @ Dogs Trust Newbury

Introducing... Ernie!

Age: 6

Breed: Crossbreed

Likes: Other dogs, playing and especially fetch! I'm full of beans, so I need an active family to help wear me out.

Dislikes: Not keen on being left on my own, and I will vocally let you know about it, but I'm fine if I've got another canine pal for company.

Contact: Call Dogs Trust Newbury on 01488 658391 or see more dogs needing homes online.

Dogs Trust Open Days in July: Newbury and Bridgend

The 6th of July is going to be a busy day for two Dogs Trust Rehoming Centres - it's the date of their annual Open Day!

Bridgend and Newbury will both be opening their doors to anyone who wants to come along and have some fun.

Newbury will be open from 12pm to 4pm with a Fun Dog Show covering 10 classes including Most Handsome and the Rogue's Gallery for rehomed Dogs Trust dogs. The Doggy Dash is also open to all and their canine compnaions. Great raffle prizes and home made sweet treats will also be on offer. Entry and car parking are free, with a £1.50 entry free for the Fun Dog Show, with judging at 1pm.

If you live closer to Bridgend and also want to show off your dog, then worry not, because the fun-loving staff there are also running a Fun Dog Show. With eight classes, including Waggiest Tail and Best Rehomed Rescue Dog, there are plenty of chances to get involved. If you've got a daring, active dog, you can leap into the fray with amazing agility displays. There's also a silent auction where you'll get a chance to bid for amazing prizes like a private recording session, a vineyard tour or a day's paintballing for 40 people.

Entry to the event is free, with car parking at £3 per vehicle and dog show entry at £2 per pooch. Gates are open from 11am to 4pm.

If you live locally, there's no excuse not to have a good time with Dogs Trust this Sunday! Enjoy, and do tell us if there was anything you particularly enjoyed or would like to see included in the future.
