I would like to thank all of those that attended, vended and helped out with Hugs for Hounds this year. Although attendance was down I think those that did attend had a greyt time!
Each group raised their own funds through rafflees and each group benefitted from the Hugs for Hounds 50/50 draws. Each group will also receive a portion of certain products sold by The House of Earl. The Stylish Hound is also donating a percentage of all collars sold, to Whippet Rescue Canada and GRA Canada.
Hugs for Hounds 2007 is already in the works with a NEW and exciting event sure to please everyone and bring many more attendees. That's all I can say at this time but stay tuned for more information.
Thankyou also to those that donated to Hugs for Hounds for our raffles - proceeds of which are used for the costs of holding this event.
A big thankyou also to those that could help and did - Jen (Jiffer), Minnie (Patricia) and her friend Janice, Claysmom (Cindy), my daughter Geniene (LittleTurbodog) & her DBF Terry, grandson Christopher and the girls from Whippet Rescue and my employee Justin and Dee. And of course to my DH who does all of my printing, sign posting and BBQing. Everyone worked so hard and it is so much appreciated. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone!
I also want to give a special thankyou to my 10 year old grandaughter Madison who has been with me the whole summer helping with Hugs for Hounds. She is a special little girl and a very, very hard worker! Grandma loves you Sweetie!

Thank YOU, Liz, for your incredible efforts. The doggy goody bags alone were worth the price of admission (especially for those of us with too many dogs ). The effort needed to organize Hugs is tremendous, and very much appreciated. I'm very pleased that you plan to continue next year. I hope that the rescue organizations did well with their raffles. Thanks Liz!!!
