Thank You for Making the Goodearl Dog Park Grand Opening & Dog Show Such a Success.
What a wonderful morning we had at yesterday’s Goodearl Dog Park Grand Opening and Dog Show.
After having to cancel our previous date due to extreme weather, we were more than a little relieved when the day began with some gentle rain before turning into the perfect dog-walking weather. The cool morning gradually gave way to warm sunshine, creating the ideal setting for our celebration.
We were delighted to see so many dog owners, dog lovers and community members come along to share their love of canine companions and help mark this special occasion.
The morning officially began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Haydon Wick Parish Council Chairman, Cllr Vinay Manro, alongside Gina from Muddy Squad, whose generous donation made a significant contribution towards the installation of the dog park. Thank you both for helping us officially open this fantastic new community facility.
A huge thank you also goes to Janet Garrett of Janet’s Puppy Skool for kindly giving up her Sunday morning to judge our dog show categories. From adorable puppies and talented young handlers to beloved golden oldies and the hotly contested Waggiest Tail competition, Janet brought her wealth of experience, patience and expertise to every class. She listened to heartwarming rescue and rehoming stories, encouraged our young handlers, and somehow managed the impossible task of choosing just three winners in the Waggiest Tail category.
Thank you to our wonderful traders and stallholders who brought even more canine fun to the event:
DungeonFae Face Painting Grooming Pawgeous Muttleigh Swindon’s Animal Food Bank
Mario’s Ice CreamsAnd finally, the biggest thank you goes to our amazing community. Whether you entered your dog in the show, cheered on from the sidelines, visited the stalls or simply came along to enjoy the wonderful chaos of more than 30 dogs gathering in one place, you helped make the morning truly special.
