(Knitted) Mice Bucket Challenge

I just saw this post on the Battersea Facebook Page, and had to share! What a great idea! Just wish I could knit!!

“You’ve probably heard of the #IceBucketChallenge but how about the (knitted) mice bucket challenge? Our #cats are in need of some new toys so we’re asking you to knit one, purr-l one for our felines and send us your crafty creations. To make sure our dogs are not left out, please make your donation of £5 to help us rebuild the London kennels by texting DOGS to 70800”.

There’s a pattern for the knitted mice available here –

Go Laura!

Another of my lovely customers is doing something wonderful to raise money for an animal charity this summer. On the 9th July 2014 Laura Lansbury is taking part in a charity bike ride from London to Paris with her boyfriend and two friends. They will cover 300 miles in 4 days which is going to be tough and a big challenge for them! Her chosen charity is Battersea dogs home as she has a dog of her own, Ruby, and she thinks it’s a good cause to help rehome and reunite dogs with their owners.

If you wish to donate Laura has a justgiving page, where all donations would be greatly appreciated www.justgiving.com/laura-lansbury.

For the love of Dogs...

I keep seeing the ads on ITV for Paul O’Grady’s ‘For the love of Dogs’ based at Battersea Dogs & Cats home. I’m really looking forward to the new series, as I enjoyed the last one so much, but also because of the good it does for animal rehoming!

It started last week, May 9^th on ITV – and continues every Thursday at 8.30pm.
