Sunday 20th November 11am starting from Pets at Home Godalming. 1 hour approx lead walk. £2 entry
Walk Your Stafford with Pride All welcome.
Sorry I am still so tired after Sunday and the AGM. I did feel I caught my breath this morning but it has been pretty hectic since then and I am struggling again tonight.
Having got Peppa settled in we have now brought Sandy out of kennels, Peppa and Sandy did not take well to each other with lots of growling, although Sandy was displaying 'calming behaviour,' as descibed by David Egan, so there may be hope. Not helped by the fact Peppa has been in Sandy's crate as it is the most cosy but still looking out on the kitchen thereby providing lots of stimulation. I just couldn't decide where would be best for Peppa. After a bit of trial and error, Sandy is back in her own crate, Peppa in Sapphire's and saff in the one that is most exposed, under the kitchen table. Despite a tense start this seems to have worked ok and all has been quiet for the past hour or so.
Things have been going very well with Peppa. Walking her it is hard to believe she is deaf as with her training but when she is asleep (sometimes upside down ) she does not hear . On Sunday morning when we came down early, it was several minutes before she realised we were there, despite switching on lights and even moving stuff on top of her crate!
Though we were one dog less for a week I never quite got that 'this is easy' feeling and now we are back up to full whack it seems overwhelming. I really need to be able to walk Sandy and Pepper together else I will have to do separate long walks.....we will see.
We thought we had a home for Boycie but they have now had to take their son's Stafford back, they kindly gave a donation.
The home we checked for Buster ( remember our memorable seaside trip?) has also gone awry and now we have two new dogs waiting homes.
Plenty of dogs, lack of suitable homes but excited about the Stafford Walk and National SBT Day in November.
