Hi All...

Just had a call from Petmania (the pet shop who host the Dog Walk)... For the second year running, Dougal's raised the most money in the country in the Carers Assoc. Dog Walk...

He raised a total of €1,465 (around 2,100 US)...

He has won the following prizes...

A five day Holiday for five people and a pooch here... http://www.harveyspoint.com/

And a year's supply of this food... http://www.royalcanin.us/

I've to take him to receive his prize and have his picture taken for the newspapers on Tuesday...

My mum's SO proud of her 'Little Man'....

Thank you SO much to everyone... Your donations have really helped the Carers Assoc. to provide much needed Respite services to family carers.....

Love to all.....

Totally agree, Richard.

That look is so perfectly adorable, I do suspect that Dougal knows when the camera is on him, and exactly what he needs to do to work the adoring crowd. He has such an expression of shy modesty, you could almost believe he doesn't appreciate the attention....

Congrats to Dougal and his people!  :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
