Makes you feel good, don't it!

As you may well remember (or still have on your wall), we held the ‘Puparazzi’ event last year, and produced a fabulous 2014 Barkitty Calender, in association with Amour Pix.

I thought you might like to see where the money went. A cheque was donated directly to Soi Dog UK, and the remaining balance was sent to a very special lady working in Thailand, Soot Liang Woo runs the WSK Shelter.

I wanted to share a big THANK YOU with you all, for the money we raised from our 'Puparazzi' calendar from this year. In addition to supporting dogs who were homeless and facing the meat trade in Thailand; our sizeable donation has also helped cats.



Some of our money has been spent on cat food and medicines for the WSK Shelter. There is no budget for cat food and so they have to eat dog food unless Soot buys them something. She has got food now for the next couple of months.
Please support Soi Dog -> https://www.soidog.org
and the WSK Shelter for Dogs & Cats here ->https://www.facebook.com/WSKProject


I’d like to personally thank Rachel Barton for introducing me to the work of Soi Dog, and in turn, the work Soot does. Once again I’d like to thank Amour Pix for their help in creating the calendar, and ‘Graphics and Print’ who produced it for us, free of charge. Also, thanks to everyone who took part, and of course, everyone who bought one. We’ve really enjoyed using ours this year.

(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 –

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 9th on ITV – and continues every Thursday at 8.30pm.
