ShortDog - Shame I don’t have a costume to hand….!

Ruth[less] - Make one!!!

ShortDog - If I get eaten by the dog…I blame you…..Attempt #3 of dressing Basil dog up commences!

Ruth[less] - I still see no photos on my wall!!

Wendy - I just see I stole your line without knowing it. I posted a picture of Lacey the other day with almost the same line. I wasn’t copying! Promise! We had a vampire toy that used to say that and she constantly made it talk.

Another raffle for a white bull breed in need

Thursday, September 2, 2010

Remember Sam the homeless white Staffy? When SBTCV Rescue saw he was in need of a home they offered to take him on if his owners could fly him to Melbourne. He arrived last Saturday with an open wound on his leg. His rescuer took him to the vet where he had to undergo some costly surgical procedures and have x-rays taken. He’s on the mend now and will soon have a clean bill of health. However, SBTCV Rescue rely entirely on donations from the public, so this unexpected expense has hit them hard.

In a small attempt to help I suggested a raffle. Two other Staffy loving businesses got on board to help also, so the prizes are as follows:

Ist prize: A Ruthless Leather collar to the value of AU$150*
2nd prize: A AU$50 voucher for the My Staffy online store
3rd prize: A Wolf’s Den custom-made polar fleece dog coat*

* These prizes include delivery within Australia. Overseas winners can choose to pay extra for international delivery.

Tickets are $5 each or three for $10 and can be purchased via the SBTCV Rescue website. The draw will be held on Sunday 19th September and the winner will be notified by email.

Speaking of other white bull breeds in need… Bully went for his cancer surgery about eight weeks ago and he’s now 100% better. His owner also managed to find dog friendly accommodation, so they’re living together again. Gotta love a happy ending!

Please tell all your dog loving/dog owning friends and don’t forget to click the “like” button below to share this link in your Facebook news feed.

UPDATE: Due to overwhelming support SBTCV Rescue have already reached their target of $800. They can no longer accept PayPal payments due to their restrictions on selling raffle tickets. If anyone still wants tickets you can send a cheque to SBTCV Rescue, P.O. Box 73, Kyneton, VIC 3444. It must be received by last mail on 17th September. To ensure your numbers are allocated send an email to donna.treadwell1@three.com.au and she’ll email your ticket numbers to you.

Thank you all so much for your support. Sam went to his new forever home today. I had a lovely long chat with his new owner who has promised to send me some photos in a few weeks when Sam has settled in to his new home with his new sister. Another happy ending, yay!!!

Sydney University Pet Fair 2010

Monday, August 30, 2010

On Saturday we took our Ruthless Leather stand to the University of Sydney’s Pet Fair. We were decked out in our new shirts – which took almost an entire day to source and get printed and cost more than one of our collars – and I brought my camera and treat bag as well, just in case! Lots of people turned out and some even came especially to see us. It was a beautiful sunny day and even though it made for difficult shooting conditions I managed to get a few snaps worth sharing with you. [Click on the thumbnails to open full size pics.]

We had a great day and met loads of awesome people and their pets. If you signed up to our mailing list on the day and this is your first installment – welcome! We’ll announce the results of the draw on our Facebook page on Saturday 11 September and the winner will be notified by email. [The album of photos is posted there too and there are heaps of comments if you want to go and check them out.]

I’m selling off some of my photography gear as I simply never use these pieces. I have a Canon 50D body which I’m selling for $850 +p&p* and a Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM ultra wide angle lens with a lens hood which I’m selling for $750 +p&p*. Both are as new and come with boxes, manuals, etc. Email info@ruthlessphotos.com if you’re interested.

* Or free pickup from Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.
