🐾 WHIPPET WISDOM WEDNESDAY LATE EDITION — THE CAMPING SAGA 🐾

Hello, Daisy here.

Apparently, we went camping to ā€œget away from it all and relax.ā€

This involved packing half the house into the car, sleeping under a sheet of material and walking absolutely everywhere.

Dad looked increasingly tired as the days went on. Mum kept saying, ā€œIsn’t this relaxing?ā€ while Dad nodded in the way humans do when they know there is only one correct answer.

I enjoyed the fresh air, the new smells and having my family together. Although I did miss the chickens a little—not emotionally, obviously. I simply like knowing where they are and whether they have dropped anything edible.

Camping reminded me that life doesn’t need to be perfect to be good. Sometimes happiness is a walk together, food shared outside, laughter when things go wrong and waking up beside the people you love.

Jesus often stepped away from the noise to rest and pray. Perhaps we all need that occasionally—a little less rushing, a little more noticing, and time to remember that God is with us wherever we pitch our tent.

Although next time, I vote for somewhere with proper beds.
Dad said hotter too!!

With love, a cold wet nose and slightly tired paws,

Daisy 🐾

MEN WITHOUT SHEDS — NEW MEMBERS WELCOME!

Join us at St Anne’s Church on Wednesday mornings, from about 9am–12pm — or simply come for whatever time you can manage.

It’s a friendly way to get out of the house, meet new people and help with a few jobs around the church grounds and village.

You don’t need to be super fit or come every week. Just bring yourself — tea, coffee and biscuits are provided!

Come for the company, stay for the biscuits.

To find out more, speak to the Vicar or message the parish page.

🚨 SEE YOU SUNDAY… SATURDAY! 🚨

The Vicar is away this Sunday — so it’s the perfect opportunity to come to church and see what we’re really like when he’s not there causing trouble! šŸ˜‚

If you’ve ever thought about coming but felt a bit nervous, please don’t be. You don’t need to know what to do, what to say, or where to sit. Just come as you are — we’re a friendly bunch, and there’ll always be someone ready to welcome you.

So why not give church a try this Sunday?

šŸ™ A warm welcome
šŸŽ¶ A few hymns
ā˜• Friendly faces
😌 And absolutely no danger of the Vicar picking on you!

St Anne’s Church, Catterick Village — Sunday at 10.30am.

Come and see what we’re all about. You might even enjoy it… but please don’t tell the Vicar! šŸ˜‡šŸ˜‚

🐾 WHIPPET WISDOM WEDNESDAY 🐾

Hello, Daisy here.

Humans spend a lot of time worrying about what has already happened or what might happen tomorrow.

Dogs are usually better at living in the moment. We notice the warmth of the sun, a gentle hand on our head, the footsteps of someone we love and—most importantly—the possibility that somebody has dropped a sausage.

But even dogs have regrets.

Yesterday, I pinched the chickens’ corn bar—the one made with crushed shell grit. It seemed like an excellent decision on the way in. On the way out…well, let’s just say I had plenty of time to reconsider my life choices.

We cannot change yesterday by carrying it around with us, but we can learn from it. We can say sorry, accept forgiveness and choose a little more wisely today.

Perhaps that is why Jesus tells us not to worry about tomorrow. Not because tomorrow doesn’t matter, but because today is where love can be shown, kindness can be offered and God can quietly meet us.

So take a breath. Be gentle with yourself. Learn from yesterday, trust God with tomorrow and try to do something loving today.

And if you see someone who looks lonely, go and sit beside them. You don’t always need the right words—sometimes simply being there is enough.

Also, leave the chickens’ corn bar alone. Trust me on that one.

With love, a cold wet nose and the wisdom of painful experience,

Daisy 🐾

Our little village fete did rather well… so here are a few more photos from the day Rishi Sunak popped in for a visit! šŸ“ø

The sun was shining, the village was buzzing — and, unlike most politicians, Rishi actually delivered… by winning on the raffle! šŸ˜‚šŸŽŸļø

A brilliant day of community, laughter and support for St Anne’s. Thank you again to everyone who helped, donated and came along. ā¤ļøā›Ŗļø
