A year on from Toby's death, I'm finally cleaning out some things I just put out of sight, out of mind.

In saying that, does anyone know of any rescues that would like a donation of freshly laundered, assorted tiny dog jumpers, costumes and bow ties, along with unused bowls, blankets and beds?

When I volly'd at Lort Smith there was so much of that stuff around that we couldn't really use. I'd say launder and to the op shop or even gumtree/marketplace freebies for someone looking to get a dog.

We should go for another beach walk sometime.

Anyone else interested in a wander along Beaumaris dog beach sometime?

My dog hates dogs, otherwise yes!

Hahaha. This made me laugh cos my dog's the same. He wants to take other dogs on big or small.

I've seen nice calm ones. My dog's a psycho.

IIRC, Spinses Toby hated other dogs too. My dog ignores other dogs but doesn't like to be bullied.

Yeah, that's a good idea. I reached out to where I got Toby from and they had a pretty specific list of wants none of which I had in his collection. But I still plan on getting them for donations!

And yes to another beach walk!
