UPDATES AND GREETINGS

Thanks to all those sending Munsterlanders in Winter photos, if you snow is lingering (it certainly is here!) you could make sure you have your cameras at the ready, also at the end of the week for some festive poses......we could really do with some of those. You can email them to me jeannie.stone@virgin.net

We are grateful for all the help we receive, donations, used stamps, photograph comp. entries, supporting our Rescue Shows and even keeping in touch so we can print your news and items in our magazine. Thanks to our special friends who help distribute our calendars, cards and diaries, edit our magazine, foster our dogs and help with transport. We wish all of you and your dogs a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year from all of us at Rescue......

LOOKING BACK OVER THE YEAR

Because we have to be thinking about events and plans for 2010, we thought over the past few days about 2009 and how it has been for Rescue. There was never a shortage of dogs thats for sure, as soon as we entered into the first week of 2009, along came the first dog, quickly followed the following week by a second and it has been like that for much of the year. Many of those coming in needed to be neutered, and as I write Rae tells me that the last Veterinary bill for this has been paid, bringing us up to date.

I am so pleased to have received some photographs "Munsters in Winter" and look forward to including some "festive" ones under that title. I am looking at those to include some in the calendars and diaries for next year too.

We have some calendars left, so if you are quick, we could get those out to you before the start of the New Year.

I am already looking for copy for our next edition of the F.O.R.U.M. magazine - so any stories, amusing incidents, recipes, poems etc., would be gratefully received - just email those to me.

Thanks so much for the lovely Christmas cards sent to us, most often they bring news of our lovely Rescue dogs - it is always so good to hear how they are progressing and getting on with their lives with their new families.

I shall write again nearer to Christmas, unless some news becomes urgent or of interest to you all.

CARDS, CALENDARS & DIARIES

Just to say, we still have these available. When we do look close to running out I will post a message on here to say about availability. In the meantime, we will be pleased to receive your orders. Please do this as soon as possible, so that we can get them off before the Christmas rush really gets under way. Many thanks...............

COMPETITION - MUNSTERS IN WINTER

Hooray...............the first entry received...............what a great photo too (thanks John) so come on folks - there has been quite a bit of nasty weather around, so I am sure you have some photos of your dogs. I can't remember having such wet weather in the past - we are usually well drained and not so much a problem - but really doesn't the mud give you the pip? I heard on the radio the other day that November was the wettest since 1951.............from my point of view, December won't be much better.

Look forward to hearing from you.
