#BtPosse Starter Pack

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...


shurrup...I lissenin to wot da man sayin....


 WHO ARE THE MEMBERS OF THE POSSE?

...FIRST of all, of course, you are probably wondering who all the other members of the posse are.....


....rite...haz form orderlee kew.....


......click HERE to get to the latest list of posse members....looked after by me on behalf of @marleyterrier....Twitter usually adds the names of new members to the top of the list so you should see yourself there...but sometime it is naughty and adds you in half way down....*sigh*...we hope you can click and follow everyone else....

HOW DO I GET MY PAWS ON A POSSE BADGE?

....and SECOND then you might be wondering where to get one of those in-demand #BTPosse badges that you see lots of your new pals wearing........

...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...

noo.....


...finally, we also have a version you can add to your twitter avatar...go HERE to adjust your twitter pic by magic!!

WHAT DAY IS IT?

...and FOURTH if you would like to keep your dates in order the old fashioned way...you can order an official #BTposse calendar (all proceeds (after printing costs) to Border Terrier Welfare).......



...you can click HERE to get to the @feelwells online shop where you can order it from........plenty of copies of 2020 left for sale...

If you would like to be in the 2021 calendar then just send your pics to @dirtyhippydalek on Twitter please....Sir Dalek will be assembling the new calendar later this year but it is never too early to submit pics....

A SPECIAL FELT BT

...we also like to give support to our best pal @jaq421 ...Miss Jackie's family have been badly affected by Huntington's Disease and she sends small felt BTs called Miss Sybil all over the world to help raise awareness of this horrible disease...Miss Sybil was named after her beloved Sybil the BT...her work is now ably carried on by @spikeontour .....


...here I am with Miss Sybil enjoying a break in Amsterdam....

...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!

…@archieorourke….recoverin frum hims reesent unapproved oliday in Sowfend…..

..however, we also recommend that folks check out our pals at Pet Adoptions UK if they are looking to give a dog their furever home...and the folks behind the site are long time pals of the #BTposse...



..not juss fur da doggies but all anipals....



SLUSH FUND

Finally, I just whisper to you that there is an unofficial #BTposse fund of pennies snootered out from behind sofas which we can use to fund contributions for badges and calendars for those facing financial hardship who may not be able to afford one otherwise…you just have to ask….

….nudge nudge wink wink…say no more I pal….

…..there you go, should keep you busy for a while……

....Ok ...dass all...gets to werk my pals.....
