I would also Like to thank Petvogue and Kittycollars cos as Sabrina will know those two beds created a bidding war to end all bidding wars  ;D

I think Marla knows that there are some very proud owners of her collars out there and hope she has seem Riley and Lucas wearing theirs  ;D

I havent got time to add up the amounts, or even search for them but believe the beds went for over £30 each and then there was also the bag  ;D

What a great result  :wow:

Can I ask all the people who have won the commercially-donated items to bear with me as I have a lot of them to send out and many will have to go to you by courier.  I shall endeavour to get everything despatched as quickly as possible though.

That's all the commercial items loaded up.  It took several hours!  Many thanks to all the companies that have supported our auction and thus Paws Inn :thanks:

I've loaded these items over the first two days as we promised our sponsors two weeks' bidding on their items.  I'll keep an eye on all these threads and chivvy them along.  In fact, I plan to bid on a few of them myself  :evillaugh:
