6th November

On Friday we walked the route for the STAFFORD WALK 
My daughter Jessie and my friend Steven came with me along with Jade, Chance and the pup Smudge.
I have to say I am really excited, it is a lovely walk and we start by walking over the bridge in Godalming.
Even with three of us it created quite an impression and the thought of fifteen/twenty or more Staffords with their owners walking over the bridge showing we are proud of our breed was fantastic!


Smudge

 I do hope lots of you will be inspired to come along and join us and make the idea a reality.

It is easy walking and very pleasant but quite wet in places, at least it was on Friday, wear wellies!
There are two open fields where it may be tempting to let your dog off lead for a run but please DON'T as your dog may be fine but others not. The purpose of the walk is not to exercise your dog but to show publicly that Staffies with responsible owners are lovely dogs and we proud to own them.

It takes less than an hour and Smudge, who is only three months old, had no trouble at all completing it.

David Egan has taken Smudge as a foster, as long as she gets on with Helen's cats. She and Shadow are already firm friends.
This will give us a much needed break and allow us to give more attention to our other dogs, things are already much calmer, although we loved having her.

 Battersea's Staffie promotion is still being well received with people talking about it after church today. It is really spot on warming the most unlikely people towards them.
Well done Battersea.
