Purton Vets teamed up with Wootton
Bassett branch of the Cats Protection. Both organisations vans were decorated
and many volunteers dressed up as cats etc. Our efforts netted us 2nd
place in the judging of the carnival entrants! The prize money of £10 was
donated to the Wootton Bassett branch of the Cats Protection.
We were accompanied by our Client Care
Manager, Linda Stock's children. Lucy and Ethan entered the decorated bicycle
completion, coming 1st and 2nd.
The carnival prosession was followed by the Children's Pet Show at the carnival fete. The pet show had entrants under the age of 16 and under the age of 10. An exciting mixture of pets were brought along.
Other entrants in this category were
Maddie who brought along her african snails - Nicola and Carl. They are about
1yr old. Maddie told me that they can lay up to 50 eggs at a time!!
Jenna and Alex brought Lola and Lily
the Guinea Pigs who are 9 months old. They like to eat lettuce but Lily needs
to be quick as Lola is the greedy one and will eat all the food before Lily
gets a chance.
The winner of the any breed of dog handled by a child under 16 was Ellie with Micky. A 5 year old terrier cross who has lived with Ellie for 4 years.
