Yes we have been busy. Yes we are tired. Two events back to back helping out at the ALL booth raising funds for the dogs and cats at the kennel the last two weekends, but it was time well spent and for a good cause. Besides we had a good time too, we had fun working alongside the other volunteers, meeting the other AWGs, watching our dogs play and taking part in some of the events. Sharing with you some photos from the two events.

Getting the booth ready bright and early A breifing from our 'Fearless Leader" before we begin
A happy customer. Thank you for your support.
Please note : We are selling the same bags online and proceeds go the ALL. Visit our blog in the next week to see online sale of merchandise to aid ALL's kennel dogs and cats.
The early bird catches the worm. Browsing through the cute doggy tshirts selection. Pet Tshirts will be sold online as well.
The mascot at ALL's booth, dear ole Dale. Some of you may remember Dale who was rescued from his previous owners. He is now happily adopted and came to lend his support.
Taking his duty seriously, (see how corporate he looks with his business tie on) Dale did a marvellous job, the perfect PR manager, always with a happy grin and welcoming wag. What a hoot he was as he would plonked his huge paws into the drinking bucket each time he passed by, leaving his pawprints as if saying “Dale was here!!”
Never too young to care for the homeless and less fortunate, thank you, young supporter for your kindness to the Shelter dogs and cats.
Beneful Event at Fort Canning
Overview of how the tents were set up. What a picturesque sight.
Each tent was shared by two AWGs...
We had the privilegeto share the tent with our good friends from Noah’s Ark, and boy did we have a great time with them.
ALL’s booth had a lot of things to sell, mostly through the kindness of our supporters and all proceeds were pledged to the kennel. Not only did we have a lot of fun, our dogs did too. This is the lne of dogs getting ready for the "Fastest Eating Contest"!
On Your Marks, Get Set, Go.....

Getting some help.... Eat quickly, Coco. You're almost there..
Yummy Yum Yum, she said.
Yes Coco, you must finish every little bit. She happily came in 2nd place
Our beauty, Coco, a 7 month old sterilised Labrador cross is up for adoption. Call us if you wish to view her.
To the delight of our volunteers dogs, they also took part. Prince eating a little more daintily here, eyes watching you know, must have glam shot for the blog.
Guess who won the ‘Dog/Owner look alike contest’… hurray!!! So, did we have a good time? No we didn't... We had a GREAT time. As you can see from the photos, volunteering isn't just about sale of merchandise or raising awareness, although that is the whole crux, but it is also having fun while doing it, getting to interact with like minded people, playing with the dogs and making more friends. And the best part of it, all for a good cause, and it comes straight from the heart - not for personal glory, nor achievement but always always for the Kennels. It was two great weekends, time well spent. See you at the next event.

CLOUD FOR ADOPTION
Cloud was found early one morning in the middle of lonely road with not a soul in sight. Imagine a tiny little dog shivering in the middle of road where heavy traffic would ply. Thank God for early mornings when the traffice is light but for this particular morning, he was all alone, waiting.
It is speculated he was dropped off in a car and there he stood waiting hoping the same car that dropped him will return for him, what sad misplaced trust this little dog has. We will call him Cloud as we e envision a white fluffy cloud that brings joy to the hearts of those around, which is what we hope for him.
It has been a confusing and tiring journey and Cloud has not 'come home' yet. The vet estimates him to be near 9 years old but in good health. What we do know is that he is thrown out an age when he should spend time sleeping and do nothing more than dream of sweet chasings in a park, he ended up on the streets, high and dry with no collar, no leash, no microchip, no name, no dignity, no respect. How much sadder does life get for old dogs.
Cloud is unfortunately not toilet trained, he has never learnt to and needs patience, but otherwise a sweet merry little fella with an even disposition. He learns to do his pee and poow outside.We hope that someone out there can open their doors to tiny Cloud and let him live his remaining years in serenity.
If you can help, please call us at 98383820 or email at anaterry@singnet.com.sg so that little Cloud can come home at last. His tiring long journey can finally bring him some peace.
