Wiggle - Day 888

Just a quick blog tonight as we are absolutely freezing here! We're having to have the central heating pipes replaced so while the boiler is shut down for the work to be done, we are mostly keeping moving or cuddling to keep warm.

Thankfully, Wiggle is good at cuddling!

Wiggle - Day 887

Wiggle is a product tester!

We've been sent a fab new LEUCHTIE light collar from Collarways for Wiggle to try out.

Unfortunately Wiggle has only had time to try it on and not carry out a full test but he'll be giving it a thorough trial and reporting back.....

Wiggle - Day 885

Wiggle is so patient at times, especially when you see what I did to him earlier.....

And yes, I did have to kiss that cute little nose!

I was checking that the new battery fairy lights worked, so being silly, I wrapped them around Wiggle:










Bless him, he didn't complain and instead was probably daydreaming about tennis balls. Unaware that there are actually a couple of tennis balls hiding under the TV, just inches from Wiggle!

Wiggle - Day 884

Wiggle has had fun getting mucky. It happened in stages.

Stage 1: Get some some slobber on your head













Stage 2: Add to that some grass and just a bit soggy after doing a little tumble











Stage 3: Splash around in a patch of mud to add some dirt to the face













Stage 4: Then splash around in the muddy water to make double drool!













Stage 5: Look pleased with yourself for your efforts












All that muck was from our walk on the Downs earlier. Sofy was sitting while Wiggle waited to run for the ball:













The sun hasn't come out all day so its been damp and dull but that didn't stop Wiggle and Sofy from playing and fetching:













Havng fun on a dreary day:



















Sofy was going one way:










While Wiggle was going the other way!











Splashing around in the muddy puddle:











Out of the puddle, more ball fetching:























After all that running, Wiggle and Sofy have spent the entire afternoon sleeping on the sofa..... Can't say I blame them!

Wiggle - Day 883

Exciting news! The very lovely people at Collarways ( http://www.collarways.co.uk/ ) are selling the very fab Lupine Keyrings with the proceeds going to Wiggle's favourite charity, Labrador Rescue South East & Central!

http://www.collarways.co.uk/products/retired-lupine-keyrings-for-charity/16429

I have one of the Lupine keyrings myself and its just right for my car keys:









Even more exciting is that Collarways are having a Christmas Open Day on Saturday 11th December and we are going to be there having a little fundraising stall. Obviously we're very grateful that Collarways are fundraising for us so it will be a pleasure to go along with some of the lovely Christmas merchandise and try to raise a few more pounds for Labrador Rescue South East & Central!

The Christmas Open Day is from 10am to 4pm at Collarways, Chaldicott Barns, Semley, Shaftesbury, SP7 9AW.

Wiggle - Day 882














We're making arrangements for what will probably be our last fundraising event of the year.



Organised by my colleague and LRSE&C Co-Ordinator Fiona, we will be having a stall at the Christmas Lights Evening in Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire. The High Street will be closed and there will be lots of stalls, late shopping and even Santa with real reindeer!



It looks like a really fun evening so if you're in the area, please come along as we'll have lots of Christmassy items for sale to raise funds for Labrador Rescue South East & Central:

Wiggle - Day 880

Another cold start to our day, with some fog too.

Wiggle went running off across the field while Sofy had a mad few minutes, running around like a loony:










Wiggle was still sniffing the frozen grass while Sofy was charging around, bum-tucking around....










Not put off by the mad thing that was tearing around, Wiggle was concentrating on his sniffing:











Starting to get tired, Sofy runs back to me:











Frosty eyebrows!













Bye then, Wiggle......











Ah, its ok, Wiggle's coming back!











One last foggy photo before going home for breakfast.....
