    Do it!!!! No pressure though ....cough lol.

    I'm fostering an amazing dog at the minute. If I knew his potential owners were involved in something like this I'd be even happier that he was going to the right home.

    Cracking up at Mrs.Doyle above...

    No guilt trip...swear :)

    Well we went down the country to visit her a few weeks ago and OMG we just fell in love! I keep texting the poor woman who's fostering her letting her know how our house sale is going, and if she needs anything for her just to let us know. I think at this point she's just like "guys, relax!"

    Closing date is tomorrow! I haven't gotten any more entries so it looks like we're staying at the 50 this year unless people have 10 more pets that have been hiding waiting to join :P I'll be doing the draw tomorrow night and will most likely have all the PM's out by the weekend :)

    Not to put too fine a point on it but any chance thy could be done so that folks going to Pet Expo know who they're buying for and might pick up a bit or two? 😀

    I'll try my best but I can't guarantee it, there's a lot of info to sort through and I'm a busy lady :P I'll start getting sorted this evening when I'm back on the laptop and see if I can get it done!

    **Entries are now closed!!**

    This year we have 50 pets entered, some.. interesting.. ones I must say :P
    I'm about to do the draw now when Cream finished his dinner because he likes to help pick the numbers, so for the time being here is a list of all users who have entered. (I recommend logging out of boards before stalking, but I will have been stalking all the pages in order to PM :P)
    If I have left anyone out please PM me ASAP :D

    PM's have been sent, hopefully to everyone so if you didn't receive it let me know ASAP! Nearly gave myself heart failure, my numbers of messages sent weren't adding up to the number of people entered... took my a while to cop that I wouldn't have sent one to myself! D'oh!

    This isn't exactly secret santa related, but I just saw on facebook that a rescue is doing a shoe box appeal for all the dogs in their care that don't have a home for Christmas so they have a surprise to wake up to Christmas morning. I think it's a lovely idea :)

    Do people think it would be weird to get handmade presents? I can make some really cool stuff I think but I don't want anyone thinking I'm a skinflint...
