Hello my new friend....you have probably found your way here by meeting one of the members of the Border Terrier Posse....as most of you know I try and help out with admin here at Border Terrier HQ....it's a big job with so many furs welcomed into the posse now almost 11 years after it started.....this is our attempt to provide you with a one-stop shop for all your posse admin needs…the #BTposse has no leaders and no hierarchy…it's just a group of like-minded folk….make of it what you will….technically, our only rule for full membership of the posse is that you are a border terrier tweeting through your own Twitter account…although we do have friends of the posse and membership queries are sometimes kicked "upstairs" to Marley for adjudication...

| ...modull fur us by @jasperborder..... |
We send out badges to any BTs that want them….you do not have to be a full posse member to get one as we know some of you only communicate with us through your pawsons and staff….and we give a big woof thanks to @btgimble and his dad (see them now at @smithalbus the successor BT pup in the House of Gimli) who did all the clever drawing for our badge….
...in return for your badge, we just ask for a small donation to Border Terrier Welfare...you can make that donation HERE...there are some other suggested rules & regs HERE ...along with details of who to speak to to get your badge safely delivered...
.....we do ask that you send us a stamped addressed return envelope to us to assist with postage....all details to be exchanged by DM please pals so we don't broadcast your address to the world...
...later in 2020 we will be launching the 10th anniversary badge, and you are welcome to add this to your collection if you have one of the old badges...
...finally, we also have a version you can add to your twitter avatar...go HERE to adjust your twitter pic by magic!!

...Miss Jackie will send you a Sybil if you speak to her on Twitter.....she just asks for a donation to Border Terrier Welfare in return....you can donate directly to them HERE...
TERRIERDONIA
Two of our pals @mossthebt and @lynnieyankee have formed the Republic of TerrierDonia where terriers live free...our symbol of pride is McHamMoss....you can purchase him through the online shop of our pal @MisHelenous HERE
The TerrierDonia range includes Keyrings, matching Squashie Car Freshies/Ornaments and Dog Bandanas ....TerrierDonia Day is 24th July . A 10% donation from each sale will go to Border Terrier Welfare
PALS MIA AND IN NEED OF A FUREVER HOME
The last thing I need to say to you is that we encourage all #BTposse members to tweet and retweet messages about lost/missing border terriers which show up on twitter and requests for rehoming etc. We do this to be helpful and the #BTposse does not get officially involved in trying to rehome doggies…there are people far better than us at that….Border Terrier Welfare for one!
