Dog Fun Day in Ayrshire

[laramoser]

Hi,
The Veterinary Physiotherapy Clinic is opening a canine hydrotherapy pool and to promote this is hosting a Dog Fun Day fundraiser for the Greyhound Awareness League (GAL). Date is August 2nd, 12-4. There will be demos from Heather Smith (heelwork to music), the Kirkintintilloch & District Dog Training Display Team, Q&A with dog trainer Alasdair Bunyan. Stands from dogfood companies, an animal psychic, ask-the-vet, therapet dogs, Wizard of Paws, GAL & SSPCA. There will also be a raffle for GAL. prizes from free hydro, training session with Heather Smith, dog food, vouchers etc.
See www.veterinaryphysiotherapyscotland.co.uk for directions or contact www.gal.org.uk for further info (I'll be away most of July, but you could email me) . I know this is a wee bit out of the way for you, but it should be a good day, especially if lots of people turn up. It's closer than Irvine beach, and I've seen a few of you there! Bring kids & dogs along & tell all your doggy friends! If anyone wants to volunteer to help distribute leaflets, let me know...
Lara

Hiya,

Noticed this is your only post! It would be much appreciated by all if you could introduce yourself in the appropriate section of the forum. Just so we could relate more to you and then, since the event is rather out our way, people would be more likely to attend!

Welcome to the forum.

Hi Lara, the fun day sounds quite good, may head out there then but I am sure we have a game fair or horse show then, but will check with Allan (hubby) later as he will know for def.

I hope I dont have to use your services for my crowd but a hydrotherapy pool is a fantastic therapy

I also am glad there are places like GAL to help lurchers and greyhounds but unfortunately they wont home to us as we do some hunting and we have ferrets, its a pity as we love our dogs and they are treated like part of the family and not a tool....ask anyone who knows Pixel my poor ill treated starved lurcher

Do you have dogs of your own? or other pets, as you see me and Allan have plenty

Hi,
Sorry I didn't introduce myself properly! I guess I didn't mean the announcement to be about me (realistically most of you are a bit to far away to use my physio or hydro services anyway, also I did check with John as I didn't want to seem to be advertising the clinic on this forum which I don't think is appropriate) so much as to let everyone know there was going to be a fundraiser for GAL and lots of different doggy dispays, freebies etc. I know you get out and about a fair bit with your dogs, so as a one off I figured some of you might be lured over! I met some of you very briefly on Irvine beach quite a few months ago. You were just finishing a long walk.
As for the personal intro, I do have two rescue lurchery-mongrel girls who are gorgeous (I think) and embarassingly disobedient (a trainer I am not!), but good with kids and horses of which I also have two and three respectively. We usually end up on the beach most weekends.
I hope to meet some of you on the day. Do bring kids and dogs, and hopefully it will be a lovely sunny day!
Lara

Hi Jakki,
Thank you so much for your offer. Unfortunately I am away on holiday tomorrow and have handed over all leafleting stuff to Linda from GAL (the Greyhound Awareness League). I will have leaflets posted to me for when I get back on the 16th, so I can send you some then (I don't know what the pm facility is, though. Someone will need to educate me as I'm new to this whole forum business), or you could contact Linda at GAL www.gal.org.uk who will be happy to send you as many as you like. You may end up fostering a greyhound, though.
Lara

Lara, the pm facility is the Private Message option. Below everyone's post there is a button with 'pm' on it. If you click on that it allows you to send a pm to that particular person.
It means it's a private conversation between you and the other member and not on the public forum.

Hope that helps

[laramoser]

Gotcha! Thank you
