We’re delighted to say this year’s Treacle Dog Show (Sunday 27th September) Judge is Nicola Simpson from the Pet Blood Bank UK. Her lovely lab Stella became a donor in 2021 and has now given 29 times, helping save over 100 dogs’ lives! Nicola is a huge cheerleader for this wonderful charity, volunteering at donation sessions and training earlier this year to become a Donor Assistant.

The bank’s motto is ‘We give so they live’ and we wholeheartedly support its crucial work!. Did you know several Erin hounds already regularly give blood? If you want to find out more, Nicola and our volunteers will have lots of information at the dog show.

Ninety, now Mikey, described by his adopters as "a great galumping idiot, who believes that no activity isn’t enhanced without his snoot in it, no person can pass without paying a pat tax, no open door should not be investigated, and you can never have enough fluffies" which to us sounds like the definition of perfect! Wishing much joy to Mikey and his new family.
