DAVID’S JUMPING OUT OF AN AEROPLANE! Please sponsor him

DAVID’S JUMPING OUT OF AN AEROPLANE! WHY?

To raise funds for Pepis Dog Refuge, Pedrera, Seville.

When? TUESDAY, 23rd JULY 2013

Where? LA ROCHELLE, FRANCE

He needs to raise 6,000 euros.

It will cost 5,000 euros to fence an area of land where the refuge can relocate to the top of the hill above the house and kennels, which have been engulfed in mud slides over winter. The house is now declared unsafe to live in.

It will cost 1,000 euros to buy a new electricity generator – their last one died and they are struggling. They can’t use power tools and the refuge does not have sufficient electricity for the day to day running of the refuge. They have a small generator which powers some of the lights at night. At the moment, the nights are light - what will happen in winter with short days and long dark nights?

Bogus RSPCA callers - animal owners beware - please circulate!

Please see message below that was received today from a trusted source. Could you all send to everyone in your address book, with lots of eyes looking for this van there's much more chance of them getting caught.

When I was halfway to Kent doing deliveries this morning I had a phone call from my son, apparently the RSPCA were at my door. I have seen a white van with lowercase letters 'rspca' (NOT their Logo) in my road for the last 2 days with the occupant seemingly just walking around ? Luckily, having seen the van, I had reminded my children just yesterday that if they come, they do NOT come in, they do NOT see my dogs, and they must come back when myself and/or my husband are here.

Polar's Diary - settling in

Polar is settling in well. His favourite buddy is Bracken, they play together and Bracken seems to understand that he has to be a bit gentle with the baby! Especially Polar gets frustrated that he can't walk the meadows with David, Floyd and Bracken - the grass is too long for a little boy with a bad leg. After they cut the hay - when the rain stops! - we'll take him. There are no rugs on the floors, he doesn't quite understand that piddles and poos are done outside! And yesterday he ran off with a crucial piece of the new swing hammock David was putting together for me! He's not saying where he's hidden it!
