Top Lodge at Alfreton Vets

It was the tenth Anniversary of the opening of the Alfreton Verterinary Hospital and as both Karen and Lesley were their clients, they asked if they would entertain the visitors.

Happy to support their vets, arrangements were made for the trio to entertain for two short performances.    A Bouncy Castle and Ice Cream Van were ordered to keep the vets' customers happy.

Inside the Reception Area, the staff were kept busy all day.

Day to day business had been suspended (Emergency cover was still available)

A raffle to raise money with an array of prizes.

First to entertain were Karen and Kes - the audience was packed into the area.

And they were very appreciative of the routines

Great applause for the final pose.

Most onlookers had never seen this sport before so they were in for a real treat.

Lesley and Angus performing to The Beautiful Briney

Kath and Spice attempting "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" - all levels of jump were lowered in consideration of the dogs on the asphalt.

And then it was time for the pack to meet the public.

The Top Lodge Dogs are very experienced in letting other people and children pet them.

Everyone was talking about the "Dancing Dogs" and their display.

Here we met Robert, happy to take the lead!

or take two leads!!!!   No problem.

The audience gathered again for the second instalment of Top Lodge's display.

The audience loved watching how well the dogs are trained.

More socialisation for the dogs and for Karen meeting a friend from the past!

Balloons too - scared??  Not Fly!

Thank you to Alfreton Veterinary Hospital for inviting Top Lodge to be at your special day.
