Hello everyone sorry I have not been around. I am suffering with a nerve pain condition of the face which means I have been unable to speak for three weeks, or to eat very much [as well as being very dopey from the drugs]. It's happened at a difficult time as this is our very busy time with fundraising for the Rupert's Fund project, www.rupertsfund.com, for money for research into a very nasty health condition suffered by Cavalier King Charles Spaniels - Syringomyelia [remember the Pedigree Dogs Exposed program?] The project was named for my Cavalier Rupert, some may remember me on here as Rupert's Momma [for some reason I could no longer access under that name] We are currently doing a calendar [proceeds divided equally between Rupert's Fund and Irish Cavalier Rescue], Christmas cards, a doggie recipe book and also running an auction - EEK - so I'm somewhat busy. www.cavaliertalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?72-Rupert-s-FundThe fund has been phenomenally successful, we have already funded 50 MRIs and have some older stud dogs who are clear which is fantastic news. I think it is so sad that the quiz has not been running - I really hope that in the New Year we can get it started again. We desperately need quiz masters - although it looks daunting, it's not that difficult and really it's a bit of fun!! If we have a few people then we can arrange it so that we have a turn every 6-8 weeks which would be great. Sorry to hear that you are so busy Ruth - but sounds like maybe a new job on the horizon?

Thanks everyone - I've been completely overwhelmed with Rupert's Fund stuff as well, but the big auction is now over and we have a small one later in the month... We're also now doing a Facebook page and helping out with an awareness week so not getting too much free time. Jazz are you up for doing a quiz this Sunday - the 9th? that would be great there's loads of prizes in the prize box I think, when I get a minute I need to sort out what was used as some were assigned to quizzes which then didn't take place. Could someone do a mass e-mail to let people know if the quiz is going to run please? Ruth, I'm so thrilled about your job, wonderful for you to have some security Happy new year everyone ;D
