Walkies!
2009
Hello! Last weekend I went up to Southampton Animal Rescue to help walk the dogs with some people I met on a group dog walk with DD. They go every Saturday and Sunday without fail! Even Christmas day and some other people go during the week day too! The animals there are so lucky because there’s lots of people willing to help out.
Most of the dogs are rescued from Spain and have been there for quite a while now. I walked a beautiful eighteen month old lurcher called Sophie on the Saturday. She’s very friendly and loving she’s the sort of dog that smiles with her eyes when she looks at people. She had been homed once before but she had to be brought back to the rescue because of the recession and she can jump six foot high fences. Its so sad, but I’m sure one day she will find a loving home because she’s just so adorable!
On the Sunday Rob came along too, we both walked a pair of real mix-ups. I can’t really tell what breed they are, a lot of the Spanish dogs are hard to tell what they are mixed with because some of the breeds are unique to Spain. Rob walked Nana she looked quite like a Beagle Staffy mix, and I walked Sunny but I really couldn’t guess what he is, but he was very Handsome. You can check out some of the dogs on their website. http://www.secondchanceanimalrescue.org.uk/dogs.html
It’s a lovely walk where we take the dogs. We just walk out the back gate and we’re slap bang in the country park. Its lovely. We had a lot of fun walking the dogs or should I say the dogs walking us as they didn’t half pull 
But we really didn’t mind with a bit of training from their new owners they are going to be absolutely perfect companions for them. I really liked Sunny I have developed quite a soft spot for him! But I couldn’t accommodate another dog at the moment and I really need to concentrate on DD’s training. But one day Rob and I are hoping to get a bigger house so we can get another dog so DD can have a hearing buddy when we go on our walks because with her being deaf we aren’t confidant that she will come back when we let her off the lead, but she’s only a baby yet so who knows?
This weekend I’m walking the dogs again with The charity Moon Bear walk. Might see you there if not please donate on the website
