ST Francis of Assessi Day at AACL

Well ,yesterday I spent a wonderful morning at Animal Anti Cruelty League at Regents Park in Johannesburg and I must say it was an absolute honour to be part of their animal celebration.

The minister conducting the blessing reminded us of just how humble we should be in awe of our animal companions and gave a very touching prayer.

The dedicated staff and volunteers put together a fantastic morning with dog displays from local dog schools and trainers. Buddy the Toyota Boxer dog was also there to meet the public - (what a delight he is!)

There were lots of fun competitions and doggie activities, from look a alike competition - to the dog with the best trick and there was lots of talent around!

Lots of good food and goodies were on sale and the white elephant stall was great - I went home with lots of bargins, and all for a good cause.

On the sadder side - the kennels are full and good homes are desparately needed, and there were some wonderful characters in the kennels - just desparate to find their forever homes. So please pass the word to anyone you know who is looking for a new best friend ........................

Again a huge bouquet to the volunteers and staff of the AACL - keep on doing such a wonderful job.

Until next time
Lou
