Coffee Mornings - Watch this space, new annoucement coming soon!

When we are leaving a room we must ensure we are doing so safely.

Who remembers how to do this?

Wellbeing Month - January is wellbeing month! We have lots of wellbeing walks planned this month to different places such as Neyland Marina and Haroldstone Chins. Karen will also be coming into SPPOT and running some wellbeing workshops.

Next date is Friday 28th of March

On Friday the 14th of Feb we are making Valentines day cards for the dogs!

Planning has started for Comic Relief on the 21st March - any ideas of what we can or want to do please tell a staff member :)

Good Companion Awards - We are still completing our good companion awards for all the dogs in daycare, we will continue to work on this throughout February.

Coffee Morning on the 28th of March.

March is the the month for planning! We would like to plan our activities/days with your input and opinion. We will discuss at team meetings and pawprints time! :)

Activites discussed in Team Meeting include:

- An Easter egg hunt for people

-Easter card from dogs,

-Liver cake hunt for dogs

-Baking - easter nests, easter biscuits,

-Scavenger hunt on the race course with recall games.

If you have any more ideas please discuss with your contact person :)

If you need help, please ask

It is important that the dogs have access to fresh clean water at all times. We will start to put bowls outside too!

-Printed out eggs are on the MTR table ready to be decorated

• Liver cake hunt for dogs

-Liver cake hunt with dogs on leads around the garden and MTR

• Baking 

-Easter nests and fruit platters to be made

• Scavenger hunt 

-Helen has created A Spring Senses Walk to do when out and about!

• Easter card from dogs to owners 

-Just the Thursday before Good Friday 

We have lots of blankets and throws to protect them but need to remember to wash these once a week.

We must make sure that the rubbish is clean and dry before putting it in the bin.

If you are not sure on which bin to put the rubbish in please ask a staff member :)

See if you can answer these questions about the photo:

1. What are the little creatures with black dots? (clue to their size - that's my little finger nail)

2. What is the round mark (not the hole) on the leaf, next to the black dots?

3. What is the leaf?

Here's another clue - if you can't work it out, I'll post more photos of them as they get bigger!

Hope you have a great bank holiday weekend!

Please can we make sure we do not leave the dogs outside unsupervised and each keyworker knows where their dog is at all times!

No dogs are allowed in the kitchen it it unsafe and unhygienic!

We have had some small challenges and you have all been amazing. We are very proud of each and everyone of you.

A big thank you from all the team at SPPOT :)
