New addition - a dog

Kazz · 14-09-2005, 07:20 PM

Well I have decided my marbles have finaly left my head. Due to circumstances beyond my will power I have another dog a 5 year old rottweiler bitch - Callie.

I occasionaly met her and her owner on walks - but I had not seen him for weeks to be honest and never thought about it - I vary my walks around work etc

However I saw him on Sunday and asked how he was and he said he'd been diagnosed with cancer and is having chemo.

and he was rough some days with no energy, and finds it hard to get out with Callie. He is in his late 50's and his wife is already in a wheelchair with MS.

So this is where my dodgy judgment starts - I volunteered to walk Callie

Now don't panic - don't panic she only joins us for walks.

But the look of relief on his face when I offered was worth all the tea in china. Due to where they live about 20 minutes in the car from me. I will pop over and walk her twice a week, maybe straight from work - for a hour or so free running in the park and if she gets on with my two she will join me and one of them - on a walk another twice or so a week I will alter my walk to pick her up but at least twice a week she will have a damned good run. Shame I can't do more,
