Afraid Tribble won't be joining us today. He's off sulking due to the mammoth grooming session he's just endured - his coat was full of grass seeds!

Latest news - we've been approached by The Oldies Club and asked if we'd allow them to show a link to our shop on their website and offer their members the opportunity to direct the 10% donation from their orders straight to The Oldies Club. As Theresa joined us as a result of seeing her on their website, we said yes! For those who don't know, The Oldies Club specialise in finding homes for older dogs who are often overlooked in rescue centres as people go for the bouncy younger dogs or say that they 'don't want the upset of losing them'. Let me tell you, Theresa may be arthritic and struggle a bit with her walks these days, eyesight isn't too clever and she's several lumps and bumps, but when her lead comes out she (as best she can) jumps for joy, she gives the bestest cuddles and she's just fab. We've had a great 15 months together, and while we hope to have many more, nothing can ever take away the love we've both given and received in that time. Go on, get an oldie.

If you know of a UK rescue that would benefit from linking with us - any animal - ask them to drop us an email di@tribbles-giftstore.co.uk
