As soon as I can get my hands on a Piggy Bank (the pig is significant!) I shall pop it in The Old Piggery - our Holiday Cottage in Tideswell - with an explanation of the Pound for a Hound campaign. And as soon as our new cottage opens in the Autumn, we'll do the same there. I'm sure our lovely guests will be very generous.
If other people know owners of dog friendly cottages, perhaps they can be asked to do the same?
Cheers, Carrie

Brilliant! So if there is a Piggy in the Old Piggery... What will be in the new cottage... what's it called!?  Hmmm, tricky one. The new (200 year old!) cottage is called 'Welyarde'....so I either need a money box in the shape of a well....or a wellie!! Cheers, Carrie |

Have found a lovely plain wooden chest/money box on ebay which I can decorate with the Gap logo - so it's specific to the Pound for a Hound campaign, rather than being a random pig! Cheers, Carrie

A quick progress report. The lovely guests at The Old Piggery have donated loose change to the total of £8.34 over the past three weeks. So, with my matched funding, the running total in the Piggery Pot is £16.68!
Cheers, Carrie

Running total from Piggery Guests now standing at £48 (after us matching donations). Will wait till it gets past the £50 mark and pop a cheque in the post.
Also, I have come up with a cunning wheeze to promote both Gap's Pound for a Hound campaign and our new holiday cottage Welyarde (see http://www.welyarde.co.uk). We're offering previous Piggery guests either a 10% discount on a week's booking at the new cottage during our first year of operation - or alternatively they can choose for us to donate that 10% discount to Gap.
So far, the lovely John and Jules have chosen to donate - and we're waiting to hear back from a couple of other folks.
Cheers, Carrie
