[daffysmum]

Friends have been invited to Pets at Home in Cardiff Bay from 11am until 3pm to meet and greet.

Walkers, please pop along with the dogs, would be great to get them meeting and greeting potential forever families.

Hello everyone

We are meeting and greeting on Sunday at pets at home in cardiff bay from 11am

Hope the volunteers and walkers can come and join us.

As I am not a registered walker, I can't walk Larry from the home myself. Are any walkers planning to bring sweet Larry out for the day to the meet and greet?

Hey Archa the dogs are carefully chosen for Meets & Greets based on their suitability. It can be a fairly intense environment for some dogs, and not all of them can handle being around that many people/children/strangers/dogs etc. At the moment, Larry is walked by staff only so he would be unable to attend the Meet & Greet but there will be plenty of other pooches heading over. Im sure somebody will post up here if they are walking over with a dog and you can tag along with them

Thanks becky1. I've walked Larry prior to joining the forum, so is why I've favoured him. But if he's not ready, then he's not ready. I think I'll visit him at CDH later this week.

Hi Archa

We'd love to see you at the Meet & Greet on Sunday if you can make it ;D

As Becky says, Larry is currently being walked by the staff, or by very experienced walkers who are known to the staff. When did you walk him? He can be a bit of a handful on the lead eh?

[archa]

Hi Baglady, Thanks for your welcome. I walked Larry the lurcher, are we talking about the same dog? As he was fine when I walked him a few weeks ago -it was around the time of the Greenpeace arrests. Larry was a little enthusiastic and a few jump ups, but nothing aggressive, and walking him calmly he very quickly followed my energy. I petted him a few times, talked to him and we had a nice little walk. My previous dog from CDH taught me a lot about dogs rather than pets, I've learnt to give them what they want, which is usually respect, fairness, consistency and mild to firm training, rewarding with praise and positive attention.

Whips ding this M&G? Are there enough peeps, I can make it for a few hrs, but the builders are in Sunday, if you short of cover let me know

That should read who's doing! iPhone txt

I'll be there for the meet and greet. I can walk one of the dogs to Pets. If you're going in two waves again, let me know which one you'd need me for(or both potentially). Any chance/use of getting flyers being printed for Sunday?
I'm in town tomorrow and could potentially get them done if wanted(say 20-50)
This one was posted in another thread and could work well I think.

As I can't make Saturday street collection any more , I can do some hours at meet and greet instead, and I bought Sadie a brand new Xmas T (originally for Saturday) , so now it won't go to waste :-) See you all there :-)

[daffysmum]

Great thanks Caz

Hi Pauls

Just come along at a time that suits you

[yvonne]

Will there be 'wakey wakey' walks?

Just wondering if it's more useful to come down for early walks or later for PAH.
