On Tuesday we welcomed 9 attendees to our GSPCA dog first aid course at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Despite a cold, windy and wet evening the group spent the evening in the training room at the GSPCA with Manager Steve Byrne.
The attendees learnt a wide variety of ways to help dogs from those suffering with heat exhaustion to those choking.
Betty an English Bull Terrier who is looking for a home made an appearance and the group learnt how to find a heart beat.
Over the last week across the Bailiwick the weather has been challenging our wonderful wildlife.
From Poppy the grey seal pup in Alderney to oiled guillemots found due to the wet windy weather the GSPCA is being kept very busy.
In the last week we have had two oiled guillemots both on the South West Coast.
Meep Meep and Robinson as they have been named are doing well after their bathes but as the bad weather continues the GSPCA are braced for likelihood of other animals affected by the weather needing our help.
This weekend we are at the Guernsey Round Table Christmas Fayre which will be held at Beau Sejour Leisure Centre from 10am to 4pm on Sunday 20th November 2016.
Entry to the Christmas Fayre is free and the GSPCA will join many local charities with a variety of gifts and festive games.
On our stall we will have GSPCA goods like hoodies to teddies, tombola games, pet supplies, pet stockings and much more.
We look forward seeing you there and thank the Round Table for organising this fantastic annual event.

Each winter we see very wet weather and at the GSPCA each year we receive a large number of calls from concerned members of public about horses and other animals in wet and muddy fields.
With the wet weather we see at this time of year in Guernsey we want to help prepare those with animals in fields.
Sarah Creasey GSPCA Animal Welfare and Education Officer said "Each Winter we often see long sustained very wet periods with many animals being affected."
