K.O. was a hit with his Gabbana sunglasses

What a wonderful afternoon with dogs of all shapes and sizes, potcakes and a mixture of breeds some large and some small. The fun started at 3 pm under the tent in Turtle Cove Marina. Categories for the competition were: Best Trick, Most Original Potcake, Dog Judges Would Most Like To Take Home, Looks Most Like Owner, Most Unusual Tail, Best Looking Female and Best Looking Male. There was a huge turn out of dogs and their owners as well as on lookers enjoying the day’s events.

Sweet Cookie was very timid as she took comfort in her owner's arms.

The judges are all ready to select the winners

 

I always look forward to Peggy's millinery stylings

Most Unusual Tail as both pup and owner strut their tail wags

Shadow doesn't seem to want to be ribboned

Oh so sweet......... One Eye Jack is a rescue and now has a caring family to love him

You can't resist such a beautiful face.......Jazz is an island potcake and you bet she gets lots of treats.

Jazz got top honours as she came in first place for the “Most Original Potcake” and second for “Best Looking Female”

Boca is an emotional support animal/therapy dog ready to help with healing those that are troubled

 

Heather Forbes of the Potcake Foundation was honoured for all her hard work in the dog and animal lovers community in the islands.

 

Donna Doran of Pampered Paws had some tough decisions to make as did all the judges

Handsome Ben was the Top Dog in the TCSPCA dog show for 2012

What an amazing show and I’ll definitely be there next year.

Congratulations to all the winners and their two legged families. Well done to all the hard working volunteers that make this event such a hit every year……..YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

Here's Ava the potcake pup that was adopted recently by our guests at Harbour Club

Here's Ava the potcake pup that was adopted recently by our guests at Harbour Club

We received recent photos from Joe and Christen of their little Potcake named Ava that they adopted in November while here on their honeymoon. Jo writes “Ava is an utter joy and we couldn’t be happier with her. She’s the best souvenir I’ve ever brought home from a trip.  Attached you’ll find some recent photos, including her about to eat a Christmas ball, her donning her fancy jingle-bell collar, and her first romp in the snow (we’re supposed to get 2 feet tonight). EVERYONE loves our dog and she’s as friendly as could be.

Here's Ava with her "jingle bell" collar and just waiting to see what goodies Santa will bring her.

Please, if you are able to help in any way……. contact Jane at Potcake Place, the fine potcake friends at the Turks and Caicos SPCA or call me at 1 8666 456 0210. They are always looking for people to take potcakes to Canada or the USA to join their new “forever” families. Adopt one if you can or make a donation towards the fostering and care of these little puppies. Thanks to Joe and Christen, Ava is one happy puppy who’ll spend her first Christmas surrounded by the warmth and love of her new family.

Today was an exciting day for our honeymoon guests Christen and Joe. They had corresponded with the amazing volunteers at Potcake Place and filled out application forms to adopt one of these precious little potcakes. Jane, the founder of Potcake Place brought the pups over to Harbour Club Villas to introduce them to each other and for a little play/get acquainted session.

Potcakes need your help so that they can be placed in a wonderful "forever home" with a loving family.

I honestly don’t know how it’s possible not to love these little charmers and then to have to choose. Ono will find a loving family to call home too.  

Here's Ono with her sweet little face and crooked ear.

Christen and Joe couldn’t resist the  playful nature of a potcake puppy that they’ve already named Ava………Joe tells us she’s named after an Ava fishing jig. Joe’s passionate about his fishing and what could be better than a honeymoon in the Turks and Caicos, some bonefishing and wading in Turtle and Flamingo Lakes, a new family member called Ava and don’t forget some snorkeling for Christen too!! 

Ava gets a cuddle from Jane.

There are several ways in which you can help:   Volunteers are needed to carry potcakes to their new owners so if your flying from Provo to Canada or the States, please contact Jane at Potcake Place. Please give what you can as all the donations go towards fostering the puppies. Most importantly, if you can adopt a potcake and give it all the love and attention it deserves, just call me 1 866 456 0210 or email us and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Happiness is a new life full of love, laughter and Ava!!!!

Our wish for you......Happiness is a new life together full of love, laughter, sunshine and a potcake puppy named Ava!!!!

If you can be a courier, adopt or make a donation contact the Potcake Foundation and  PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!

How could you ever hope to resist loving a sweet potcake puppy with a face like this?????

How could you ever hope to resist loving a sweet potcake puppy with a face like this?????

Recent guests of Harbour Club Villas adopted this sweet little potcake puppy from our Turks and Caicos SPCA. Steve and Andres fell in love with this little one and have named her Tromba which is Spanish for “waterspout”. Potcakes are named after the congealed food that remained in the bottom of the cooking pot after reheating usually peas and rice several times. The scrapings or potcakes were fed to the dogs and hence the dogs have become known as Potcakes. Many of these dogs and puppies are found around the island and the spaying and neutering programs are not keeping up. Many are taken to the TCSPCA and Potcake Place where they are hopefully adopted. They are loving and loyal and perhaps when you visit our islands you might consider adopting one.

Potcakes are loveable and make a great family pet

See you soon,
