New dog identification tag ♡♡

My labrador has been needing a new id tag for months so I finally took the step and looked on ebay.
I finally came across one that matched her new collar perfectly.  

The price was a bargain too at £3.49 including postage and engraving on both sides of the tag. 

When you pay for the item you choose what you'd like printed it - remembering the more you have printed on it the smaller the writing.

Myself I choose to have four lines printed. Her name, two telephone numbers and scan me as by law all dogs have to be microchipped now. 

I ordered it from eBay and it arrived back in two days.  

Honestly I couldn't be happier with my choice of product. It's strong, durable, and exactly as it's described in the seller's page.

I've added the link below so you can look at the designs yourself as the seller has lots.

My picture doesn't do it justice but as it has personal information it had to be a little out of focus ... sorry !

Shoe box appeal number one

Over the next 3 weeks I'm aiming to donate to two different shoe box appeals.
My first shoe box appeal is to the local animal sanctuary that houses cats, dogs, rabbits, pigs, ducks, chickens, horses, goats and other various animals.
I love my animals and I'd do anything I can to help if and when I can. So this year I will be attempting to send in 5 complete dog boxes and 5 complete cat boxes. As well as various animal bits and pieces.
For this challenge I have given myself 2 weeks to get as many shoe boxes as I can and fill with as many animal bits that I can.
I already have tennis balls for dogs and a variety of different treats for dogs. I would like to get a few chews and things for the dogs though before wrapping up their shoe boxes and handing them in.
For cats now cats are a little trickier to shop for, I have cat sachet pouches and I would like to get some of those cat feathers on an elastic which is attached to a stick. Or little ping pong balls or something similar. I don't own a cat and the cat I did have ran away to a house down the road ( obviously didn't like being fed the food it was given or could've been the puppy and Tj ?? )

Have you ever given to a shoe box appeal?
This will be my second year running and I would love to continue as myself I think the best gift is to give to those less fortunate then ourselves.
