🎄🎁 We’ve started a bit of a tradition at Sunny Days Dog Walking ☀️ For the last three Christmas’ my clients and I have agreed that instead of buying gifts for each other, we will buy donations for animal charities.
The first year we collected for Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home, last year for the SSPCA and this year the Dogs Trust.
On Sunday I packed my little van to the rafters and took our collection of donations to the Dogs Trust at West Calder.
In total we donated;
29 Balls
17 Toys
1 Doggy Christmas Stocking
83 Small Bags of Treats
3 Natural Chews
22 Large Bags / Boxes of Treats
13 Towels
1 Large Bag of Newspapers
2 Boxes of Chocolates for Staff
13 Blankets
4 Beds
97.8 Kg Dry Dog Food
3 Collars
1 Lead
1kg Tub Peanut Butter
3 Pack of Poo Bags
1 Pack of Dog Wet Wipes
3 Lickimats
4 Sensory Toys
2 Pack Rubber Medical Boots
1 Dog Shampoo
8 Dog Coats
7 Bowls
1 Cooling Mat
1 Medical Collar
221 Sachets of Wet Dog Food
33 Large Tins of Wet Dog Food
3 Trays Wet Dog Food
1 Roll Wet Dog Food
24 Small Tins / Trays Wet Dog Food
£30 Cash Donation
90 Puppy Training Pads
I would like to say an enormous thank you to my hugely generous clients for helping to make this possible, you are the best!
Also a big shout out to the Dogs Trust who very kindly let me have a look around their facility. I was so impressed by just how well cared for the dogs were, how spotlessly clean everything was and the level of individual care and enrichment each dog received. I’d urge anyone thinking about getting a dog to consider rehoming or if you have the time, looking at volunteering options there, it’s a fantastic place.
Wishing all my friends, family and clients a very Merry Christmas 🎄☀️
