Yeti Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 The Beastly Beasts and friends were at Northampton Pets at Home today doing a Meet and Greet for Greyhound Gap. The Stand We had lots of helpers and had a total of 10 dogs were there during the day. A HUGE thank you to our helpers who were: Morning Shift: Jayne (a friend of ours) Jessica, Charlotte and Tom (Jayne's children) Marion (some of you will know her as ChickenTikka on other forums) Ann and Norman with Josie Afternoon Shift: Sam and Mark Squirrel with Noah All Day Shift: Wanda with the very lovely Joey (the only Gap dog ) Marion and Tom with Kai and Jack And although they are our lot, I want to thank Kai, Monty, Jack, Troy, Lucy, Mack and Rosie - The Beastly Beasts. The Gap gods were really kind to us today and the weather was really mild. We had a steady stream of people all day and there was hardly a moment when the hounds weren't being hugged or stroked - but they coped As always, all the dogs were just brilliant. Their behaviour was impeccable and they were the real stars of the day. Wanda with Joey, Gill with Kai, and Mark with Noah, Lucy and Jack It started getting dark about 4 and we thought perhaps it was time to call it a day, but there were still loads of people coming to see the dogs so we hung on for a bit. Then just before 4:30 it started to rain - we took the hint Sooo - how much money did we raise? Well, all of the hounds that were there today deserve a very special big hug because each of them worked really hard - they were on their feet all day - and each one of them raised £70 for Gap - a total of £700. So again, thank you so much to everyone that came along and helped to get such a great result, and to the people of Northampton for being so generous.
