Evesham Cat's Protection and Dogs Trust, Sunday 28th March, 2010.

It's a repeat of last Sunday. Off to Evesham for a visit to the Cat's Protection to see how 'Cleo' (aka Kimberley) and Willow are getting on, before a bit of dog walking at the Dogs Trust.
1) First port of call is a Cleo. She's doing well now. Got over her health problems and has started to put on some weight. The CP would like us to home her but, having thought about it, we've decided to hang-fire. Perhaps someone with a garden will take a fancy to her? If she's still at the CT when we next volunteer in three weekends time, we'll take her home. Doubt if she'll be there tho'. She's a lovely loving cat.

2) Next it's a quick 'hello' to Willow. She's been chosen and is waiting for her new lucky owner to collect her.
3) Down at the DT we decide to take Rhia (on the right) for a walk again. We took her last week and this time she comes complete with a new kennel-mate: Totty, a four month old Irish stray. Last week Rhia was very well behaved but this week the dynamic has changed. She's in need of constant affection. Totty remains unimpressed by it all.

4) Next for a walk is Mary whom, we are ashamed to say, we don't know much about except she's full of vim and vigour and no matter how fast we walk her she wants to go just that bit faster. And what's all this sitting around about? Come on, let's get going!

5) The kennel notes say that Vincent is OK for dog walkers but it should say: 'fit and strong people only need apply!" This is a rare moment of calm thanks to the old fuss behind the ears trick. It was a relief to get the 18 months old Vincent back to the kennels without any mishaps.
6) Lastly (we're getting a bit knackered now) we take Spud, a Jack Russel Terrier (not sure how old he is) out for a trot. He's got a lot of poo for a little dog. He was obviously in need of a walk. His kennel notes say he likes a 'tummy rub'. The notes are not wrong. Sorry, no photo of any tummy rubbing as proof. You'll just have to take our word for it.
