Archie and I shall be there. Looking forward to a big turnout for the last walk of the year.

stubbs and Uno should be there

A work colleague recommended attending one of your Mote Park walks after attending the November event and having a great time with her dog.

I have a 1 and a half month old Yellow Labrador called Marley, who is the complete opposite of the traditional "problem dog"...he is TOO friendly!

I would love to socialise him with as many people and dogs as possible so that he realises (eventually), that people and other dogs are two-a-penny and he doesnt need to charge off to greet every living thing with a furiously wagging tail.

He has been neutered, has never shown any aggression to people or animals, and both him (and I) would love to attend your December walk.

Is there any special registration process, or can I just show up on the day with my dog and the relevant donation, and also buy a bandana on the day?

Many thanks,

Andy.

Just don't expect Marley to be clean, dry and sweet smelling at the end of the walk....

The walk is a leisurely mile and takes about an hour to go round. If that is too far for Marley, you can take a short cut back up to the car park from virtually anywhere on the walk.

Have PM'd you - we look forward to meeting you and little Marley in December!

The walk will be no problem for Marley at all....he regularly gets walked miles and usually ends up covered in mud. Don't worry, he is not one of these "accessory dogs" :)

Alison kindly pointed out that I said Marley was 1 and a half MONTHS old.....he is actually 1 and a half YEARS old....I never was good at Maths :P

Aha! That explains it - I thought a mile with a lot of dogs might be a bit much for a month and a half pup! A year and a half does make rather a difference!

Does anyone know if this is this still on tomorrow, now that the weather's clearing a bit?

I have called the vets to check & it is still going ahead at the moment

For anyone that cannot make it & doesn't want to miss out on donating a pound towards our vet bills......you are more than welcome to donate via the donation button on here or on the website

Thanks Gilly

Thanks for the update Gilly. Archie and I hope to be there.

I wont be there ..mainly cause of my knees and also we have no car to get anywhere ./..

Archie and Buster had a great time! Looking forwards to the next one! (Though I think Archie will steer clear of the water next time around!!!!

Marley had a great time too......he was almost too pooped for his second walk of the day!

Big thanks to Ivan for the walk, Alison for introducing me, and Stubbs and Uno for putting up with a rowdy pup that doesn't understand NO!

where is the pics

Pics coming later this evening (Monday). Went straight to my parents after the walk. Sorry for the delay....

In case anyone's confused, there were two Archies on the walk - referred to as Archie 1 and Archie 2!

And yours is the nice well behaved one, mine the little and vocal one!!!! :-)

Hmm...you may wish to revise your description of "well behaved" when you see the photos of my Archie squashing some other dogs....

Ha ha!!!

If was my two rats, then I think they are made of rubber with all the bumps and knocks they seem to bounce back from! :-)

Here we are. Unfortunately a rather low turnout this month but, once again, great to welcome some new happy dogs and their owners.

A huge thank you to Ivan for organising this and all the walks this year.

Have a great Christmas everyone, and look forward to seeing you all on 16th January - same time, same place.

How many Dog owners can you fit on a bridge? he he

Great photos Paula, even though not so many there it looks like the dogs had a great time

Sorry I could not make it I had not got the rescue dogs finished in time, takes longer in this weather to see to them all
