Hi everyone. I love greyhounds but unfortunately I live in a flat so I can't rehome one at the moment. I had a lurcher when I was a teenager and she was amazing. I need to get fit and walk so I thought the perfect thing would be to help out with some dog walking! I wanted to come down tomorrow but I see there is an event at Barleylands so it might not be the best day. I will see if anyone is about tomorrow though.
I have been reading the posts and some of the rehomed dogs are gorgeous!
Caroline. x

Hi caroline i'm leigh i took home 1 month ago a little girl heidi from dunton and i still go there to walk the greyhounds and that is 10 am to 12 , also have words with pat because living in a flat is not usually a problem. Also come down to the show the trust will be and you can meet some of the gang.

I have been a dog walker for 2 weekends now and love it! All the dogs are great and all have characters and I want to take all of them home!
I have had my dad with me overnight so he came with this morning. After I finished walking the dogs we went to Little Chef for some brunch. The waiter comes over to the table and says "ooh I can smell horse.". I said "excuse me." He went bright red. I let him sweat for a bit while he said he was sorry and he has horses. i laughed and said its ok, I have been dog walking. How inappropriate though to tell customers they smell like a horse! I'm still laughing!
I did go home and have a shower.... I don't really smell like a horse!!! Xxxx

You must have had lots of cuddles! I hope you didn't tip the waiter - I suspect he will still feel embarassed about that for years.
Did I see you last week? I was there with my oldest daughter. I couldn't make it this week as we were at a coffee morning for RGT in shoebury, but hope to be there next Saturday, perhaps I'll see you then.

I did have a lot of cuddles. I love Spot but he has found a home. Ollie makes me laugh but he has a home too now! It is good that they get homed and every weekend I see a new family down there looking at them. That's good.
I probably did see you. I was with my boss on Sat as I had told him he should help out too! Sunday I was on my own. Think I was wearing my peach hoodie jumper so you might have seen me!
I will be back on the weekend too. Maybe meet you then.

Ah yeah I remember seeing you with your dog. The one I was walking at the time wanted to go and have a run about too! It nearly had me off my feet!
I can only help out at the weekend as I work Mon-Fri. If I could give more time I would. Throughly enjoy it.

Hi Sally,
It was nice to chat to you yesterday. It's good to meet new people through dog walking. It's the highlight of my week in getting to go down there and walk the stresses of the week away. I absolutely love doing it.
See you again at the kennels soon! Caroline x
