Treats.
It was that time of the year again. The day, or rather days, we all look forward too. The first weekend in September where the wonderful Spanish team come over to meet the volunteers, the adopters, foster parents and especially the dogs who have been rescued and rehomed. It's always a joyous occasion. The Dutch ACE Day takes place on the Saturday and The ACE Shin Day in Belgium on the Sunday.
I can only report personally on the Dutch ACE day - one day I hope to visit the ACE Shin day too. I didn't manage o take many photos this year, but will post others taken by other pariticants in further posts. I will attempt to translate a report on the ACE Shin Day that appeared in a Belgian newspaper. For us, in Holland, the weather did not co-operate, but there was some sun among the heavy showers. But rain will never damp our enthusiasm nor the generousity of our volunteers, friends, foster parents and adopters. As for the doggies - they had the most wonderful time, running round, getting treats, hugs and pats.
The only damper on our day was the absence of Fabienne, who is ill. We all missed her so much and wish her a quick and complete recovery. She was represented by the delightful Dirk, fabulous Diana, super Ton, lovely Quami and others from Team Spain. It was wonderful to see them all and our thanks to them and to the organisers for a wonderful day.

Hmm! Not sure!
Maybe!
Yay! Clever dog.
Not ready for my close up .....!
Astrid with Tripod - to see him race around the field, his three legs were no handicap at all!
