It’s always fun to check out all the stalls filled with gorgeous dog gadgets and accessories.
We treated Daisy to a fab cartoon print lead, bandana, collar and poo bag set from the Eco Dog Design Company.
It’s the one in blue on the picture.
Paula set up her business making gorgeous hand crafted accessories four years ago.
She’s got some brilliant designs which you can see at ecodogdesigns.com.
Georgie and Emma from Canine Camp made Daisy’s day by giving her a pack of posh Wild Boar Beco Pet treats.
The girls are both biologists and work in the pet shop and daycare centre in North Shields advising owners on the best nutrition for their pet.
We met Roo, a dog who was born with only her back legs.
She was rescued from Romania by a family from Northumberland, and her team had organised a dog show to raise funds for her treatment.
As well as a cart to get around, she needs regular hydrotherapy and physiotherapy and you can keep updated on her story on her Facebook page.
So her family put on fundraising events and this weekend she hosted her own dog show.
Daisy came 9th in the Golden Oldies – and tried to eat her rosette!
A recent Dogs Trust report highlighted the ‘Back to School’ effect.
They said the number of dogs they were asked to take in DOUBLED on September 5th, the start of the school year.
I think any owner in their right mind would find this staggering – the charity claim people use dogs to keep kids entertained over the summer.
I’m a firm advocate of rescuing dogs rather than buying from breeders.
Teresa’s work shows that whatever the breed – Frenchies are the most popular in the UK right now – you can offer one in a rescue a loving home.
