23rd March

Cleo Operation Appeal

Target £500           Amount Raised So Far  £251 

Cleo is doing really well, so nice to have the buster collar off. It has been very pleasant getting her out for her ten minute walks in this warm dry weather. I try to slow her down so she uses her leg instead of hopping and she is using it more and more. It's like dog physiotherapy!

I am sure you are all desperate to hear how my "dog poo pit" is getting on. If you remember I was putting in a base of stones to a depth of about 6 inches. This took quite a long time as I collected the stones from various places, but it was ready at the end of last week. Then in went the poo! Quite a lot as it has built up over time ( not a pleasant job ) then it is sluiced down with buckets of water, or the hose and the biodegradable chemical added. I am quite pleased with the way it is going and once we get the back log breaking down it should be easy with the smaller amounts. It has used a lot of the chemical which is quite costly, and it still needs more water added and it is a bit smelly but I am confident it is going to work well and be environmentally friendly.

  1. Do not despair Alison ...with reference to the "Not really" candidates for a rescue ddog (March 22 blog) I'm afraid theyre part of the mass of unthinking dolts who just fancy having a dog for Christmas, birthday, wedding anniversary and who - almost overnight it seems - get tired of taking the dog out to the nearest patch of grass for his "walk". It's their studpidities which have exacerbated the crisis which fills rescue centres.
