As I promised I will tell you a bit more about how I help Maggie to support Vision Homes Association.

Last week she had two collection days, one at Tesco's in Edgbaston and the other at The Cornbow Shopping Centre in Halesowen.  I normally don't like getting up early  (I'd sooner go back to sleep and dream about lots of lovely things to eat)  but Maggie then explained that the reason she does these collections is to raise additional funds for the people that Vision Homes supports and this helps to pay for things like day trips out to interesting places.

Once she told me that, I felt I had no option but to help.  I jumped out of my basket and ran to the front door waiting to go.  Unfortunately Maggie is a bit of a slow coach and keeps me waiting while she fusses about getting dressed and brushing her hair (why do you humans take so long to get ready??).

We had two very interesting days.  I guided Maggie safely to these venues and she took my harness off so that I was more comfortable.   I sat next to Maggie and kept an eye on her while she stood with her collection box.   It's a very long day for her to stand there – I am lucky as I can lie down and have a quick snooze every now and then.

Loads of people came over wanting to chat to Maggie about what she is doing and then of course they say hello to me.  Some even give me little treats – everyone is so generous.  Maggie said that she collected £165 in Tesco and £217 in Halesowen -  (just imagine how many doggy treats I could get for that!!).  Many thanks to everyone who donated and staff at both of these venues that were so helpful. 

Anyway I have to go now.  Just to let you know that I am next making my next "appearance" at the Range in Coventry on the 6^th and 7^th of this month.  Please do come and say hello.
