Good Grief, was that Christmas already? It seems to have flown by very quickly this year. I hope that everyone had a lovely time and that your dogs weren’t too stressed by the excitement. I was in London with family and took Edie and Rupert with me. They had a long walk on Boxing Day in Richmond Park, and while Edie finds it a bit tiring these days she is always up for a walk. Rupert, on the other hand, found it very stressful and was over threshold by the end of the walk as he is very reactive.
Sunday we held our Santa Paws event at K9 Freedom Fields in Coxhoe which we had to postpone from before Christmas. It was an amazing event with a great turnout! Thank you for everyone who came along and I hope you got some brilliant pictures for your next year’s cards with Santa and his Elf. It was such fun getting the grotto ready and we were lucky to get the presents sponsored and donated by Durham Animal Feeds. We’ll be doing more events during the year so keep an eye on the Facebook Page.
It was great to see Otis, Marv and Sunny representing Greyhounds Going Home. These ex-racers are looking for a home after their retirement. I’ve seen these boys several times at the Sunday Socials and they never fail to amaze me. Yes they are big, but they are often the most chilled and relaxed dogs I’ve ever worked with. They came along to the Santa Paws as they don’t often meet other breeds of dogs. Sunny was particularly keen on Freya, my youngest Bedlington Terrier. And I think she was keen on him too. If you are looking to add to your family having one of these boys would be the easiest decision you’ve ever made. They really are wonderful pets and all the dogs adopted from GGH get a session with me to help you settle them in as well as a free Sunday Social.
I’m looking forward to the new classes starting soon and wish you all a very Happy New Year!
Sara and the Rewards Team.
