White Lodge Meet and Greet
posted by Mack at 19:29
It's the Christmas Meet and Greet season and today was the furst which was for White Lodge; Jess' mum, Tracy, had organised the day. We turned up to do the afternoon shift and luckily by then it'd stopped rainin', though it was still pretty cold; mind you - I was togged up in what dad calls my Arthur Daley coat so I was warm an' toasty.
Me
Despoite the fact it was a miserable day there was a fair few there, which was great to see.
Assorted Crowds
When we turrned oop Jess came ova to say "Hi and thanks for comin'"; I've got a bit of a soft spot foor Jess; Rosie 'oweveer thought she was gettin' too close to 'er and 'ad woords, so that was moi chance gone.
Jess
After a bit some of the others went off foor their Christmas lunch leaving Jess and Lester, us and another very pretty lass called Jill, to do the stuff. Let me tell you a bit about Jill.
Jill
Jill is a very friendly lass to humans, and loike Oi said - very pretty, but put your nose anywhere near her and she'll tell yoo where to go; remoind you of anyone?
Later on our mate Morty turrned oop with his human Sarah. Durin' the afternoon they 'ad woords with Jill and soon she was happily standing next to Morty, so Oi reckon Jill and Rosie are the same; for some reason scared of other hounds 'til they get to know 'em loike. And just loike Rosie she needs to know that who ever she's with will loook after her so she doesn't 'ave to worry.
Anyway, back to the Meet and Greet. We need to say thanks to Aunty Linda who got us some chips - of which dad stole a fair few. Lucy wanted more, but there weren't any in the money bucket.
Lucy
It got reeally daark about 4 o'clock so we decoided enough was enough. Despoite it being a cold and dark day £112.46 was raised for White Lodge, and quite a few leaflets had been given away to people thinking about giving a hound a home; that would make some-hound's New Year - a sofa of their own.
And thanks to Alison - Sol's mum - for the piccies.
