Why waste money getting a poster printed when you can make your own.......? All those years spent watching Blue Peter didn't go to waste! Look out for our lovely 'DIY' sign, which will be up at the entrance to the Garden Party

Very artistic Andrea. We are all looking forward to next Sunday, especially Mr Tink and Miss Mia who keep asking "how many sleeps until the garden party?" The answer to that is anybody's guess as they sleep so often!

I do hope you all have a fantastic time on Sunday and we are very sorry that we can't be with you. I was thinking about giving Tony some money to buy me some tickets for the cake raffle, but I wouldn't be able to trust him to be honest if I won - I'm sure he'd keep the cake for himself!

Now for something a bit more interesting for the dogs...... I've just finished making up the doggy takeaways that we will have on sale at the Garden Party. They contain: Chalky's Cheesy Chomps Seamus's Sizzling Sausage Snacks
Polo's Pilchard PuddingNot the best of photos, but here's an idea of what they look like: After I'd bagged them all up there were some over, much to Elsa & Polo's delight. The poor dogs have watched me cooking them for weeks, only for me to whisk them away and into the freezer (apart from the time that they mugged me when I was going out of the patio door and got caught in the curtain!) We'll hopefully have plenty of other doggy delights in the Castledon Canine Café to tantilise your hounds' tastebuds!

Tink has been a busy boy today, baking yummy chocolate brownies for the cake stall tomorrow. They have gone beyond excitement so are taking a nap to recover

Ooh, chocolate brownies - my favourite! We all had a busy afternoon, setting everything up and can report that it's looking good, folks! The weather's set fair - not too hot like it has been lately thank goodness! Elsa & Polo are exhausted after their day of supervising the workers and are crashed out on their beds. Looking forward to a grrrreat day tomorrow!

Home now with two very tired dogs. We just wanted to say Thank You to Jodie, Carley, Andrea, Chris and Dale and everyone else that helped to make today such a success. Both dogs now have lovely clean teeth and trimmed nails, and smell very nice :DBut I think the highlight of the day for Harry was the free running. He would have gone back time and time gain. One thing we both said was where would you go where there are so many dogs who don't really know each other, and would all get on so well. You didn't hear a bark, a grumble,a growl all afternoon. Greys are certainly very special dogs. . So thank you to everyone for such a lovely day.

What a fantastic day! Thank you to everyone who came along and supported us - we hope that you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did. It was so nice to see everyone with their beautifully turned out and well-behaved dogs. My camera decided that it wasn't going to work today, so if anyone's got any photos to share we'd be very pleased to see them. Just relaxing now with a big glass of wine (beer for Dale!), a plate of left-over sausage rolls and Babs' lovely potato salad! Will certainly sleep well tonight!

Brilliant day! A big thank you to everybody involved in organising this special Castledon day for hounds and their owners. Harley & Tom were both flat out for the one and a half hour journey home, and then again for the rest of the evening. Even today they are both sleeping a lot, though they seem to come to when Andrea's Pilchard Pudding appears. Look forward to seeing everybody again at GW Show next week. Jackie, Allen, Tom & Harley
