Egg-cellent (pre) Easter Event!

On Sunday 17 April 2011 there is an early Easter Extravaganza!

Every child will get a free Easter egg and there’s a colouring competition – entries 50p.

Entrance to the event is a bargain at £1 for adults and 50p for children and there’s a tombola, cake stall and much much more!

Did you know the average cost of a rabbit’s vaccinations is £40? So go along and show your support for this lovely local charity and help them continue their great work.

These boots were made for walking

Tilly at WADARS who needs a loving home

………….. and these tails were made for wagging at the Spring WADARS Wagathon!

Sunday 15 May 2011 is the date for everyone’s favourite country walk across Highdown Hill.

We’ll start in the usual spot near the car park at Highdown at 11 am, amble to the Spotted Cow pub, partake of some well earned refreshment and then make our way back across the Hill.

Sponsor forms are available from all branches of Grove Lodge and WADARS, or you can pay £5 per person on the day.

Some of the dogs who are seeking loving new homes will be making guest appearances, so if you are looking for a new four legged friend, come along to meet them.

Let’s hope the weather is kind to us! However. as a wise woman once said “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes” so come rain or shine, we’ll be there!

Spot the hazards in your home: LILIES

Did you know that the leaf pollen and flowers of lilies are all  highly toxic to cats? Neither did I!

So next time you receive a beautiful bouquet of flowers, make sure they don’t contain lilies, or if they do keep them out of the reach of your cats. Even your cat brushing against them and subsequently washing herself is dangerous.

If you think your cat has eaten some pollen, call Grove Lodge straight away and keep a look out for these symptoms of poisoning:

• Vomiting
• Anorexia
• Depression
• Ingestion of just one leaf can cause kidney failure
