Meet Baxter, Our New Mascot!

We're pleased to announce yet another member of the ALC Team, Baxter is our new mascot!
Joe & I are currently on an extended visit to the UK and whilst here I've been attempting to make myself useful at Wallace Kennels, the local dog rescue shelter.
For the meagre sum of £26 a year we've been able to adopt the dog of our choice, give him a name and I can go and walk him whenever I want. Meanwhile the lovely ladies at Wallace Kennels will give him every care within their means until they are able to successfuly re-home him.
Through no fault of his own Baxter is proving a bit of a challenge in this respect. Although gorgous, handsome and very friendly he is virtually untrained and proving a bit erm, robust for the average household.  But from his behaviour at the kennels all he needs are committed owners willing to give him his fair share of exercise and some lessons at doggy school.
We think Baxter is fab but for all the best reasons we fervently hope he moves on soon and our sponsorship will continue with another likely candidate.
Wallace Kennels are a registered charity accepting most of the strays in this area of Essex. If you are interested in adopting a dog, donating, or best of all giving Baxter or one of his mates a home contact them:

Joe is 50.......

...and he's happy as a pig in ****!
Many thanks for the all texts and messages on facebook, it's going to be a quiet one with a few beers down the pub with the family - well that's the plan :-)
