The Caledonia held an Animal Awareness Afternoon for the Freshfields Animal Rescue and the donations flooded in.
Even if people could not stay and enjoy a pint (it is a great pub after all!) they still popped in with donations of toys, food, bedding, travel cases etc for both cats and dogs!

| Just a few squares for blankets |
We where aiming to make 1 blanket and have ended up with 3, a toy ball and the promise of more squares for more blankets!
I even managed to get my Christmas cards for this year :)
What was especially wonderful was the sense of community that was displayed today by owners of four legged friends! There where puppies everywhere all playing nicely whilst their owners enjoyed the refreshments.

The representatives of Freshfields Animal Rescue where very grateful for all the donations, they even turned their hand to knitting some squares!
If you could not make today but would still like to make a donation then The Caledonia will still be taking donations to be delivered at a later date to the centre.
If you are not sure what to donate then suggested items are; wet/dry cat or dog food, toys, treats and blankets/animal bedding.
Me and Michelle had one issue today, an that was leaving Bonnie, The Caledonia's new dachshund puppy!

| Mrs. Havisham & Bonnie |
 |
| Look at that face! |
She's got gorgeous fluffy ears and is too small and cute for words!
 |
| Cuddle time! |
 |
| Big puppy eyes |
She kept me company whilst I sewed together some squares before falling asleep, tired after a full days play!
Huge thanks to everyone who attended and gave up their time today and dont forget if you would like to make a donation The Caledonia are still accepting items for another week or so :)
