Sponsored walk from EDCH on sunday 24th may to raise funds for agility equipment!

We would like to give our four legged friends a super sporty summer treat.

Our staff have organised a sponsored dog walk on sunday 24th may. Departing from the EDCH at 1pm and making our way to Fisherrow pier in Musselburgh and back again.

The purpose of our walk is to raise funds to enable us to buy agility equipment to help us to train our dogs and to give them something fun to focus on.

Please come along and join us. All dog lovers and canine friends are more than welcome- just remember to bring a lead!

Please help us by obtaining a sponser form from us or by sending or handing in your donation. Please give generously- every penny helps! Many thanks!

Sounds great. My younger cat came from EDCH, so I'd love to support you.

Will you be carrying collection tins on the day? Oh - and please post a reminder nearer the time, will you?

Was she found guilty? I certainly hope so, given she has been hounded out of a job.

Me neither but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it came back to bite her.

Ouch. Petty childish comment. Lucky I dont give a s*%t!

Dont focus on what I am, focus on what you are.. here are three choices for you.

(a) Your a gimp

or

(b) your a t£*t

or

(c) your a sad f*^ker

She made the news again today.

There must be a lot of us about then BB!

Whatever Lisa Caldwell has done should not detract from the great work the rest of the staff at EDCH do and it was totally pointless you bringing it up solely to take the spotlight off the reason for the original post which was to advertise a sponsored walk being done by the extremely dedicated staff in the home to enable them to better the lives of the dogs they look after.

If you really want to talk about Lisa Caldwell why not start a new post dedicated to slagging off a teenager who obviously has issues and is finding it hard to deal with her life and is more to be pitied than anything else?

Epy well said as always , will probably be working morning of walk. Having volenteered at the Home for over 4 years now was mad at comment as you say detracting from true cause. Stray666 you are a wee star .

totally right, Epykat.
And also congrats to garfield for the volunteering. You and all the other people who give up their time to help others are great.

How ironic!! Beachbum is in the dog house. Good luck with the sponsored walk!

We'll be at the sponsored walk along with others from our Dog Obedience Classes.

We were also recently at 'Bark in the Park' in Inverleith Park to raise funds for St Columbus Hospice.

Miaow, Porty.
It'll be so quiet round here we'd think the cat's got his tongue.

Really sorry about the VERY late reply but my comp hasn't been working properly

£1275 raised!!

Just a note to thank everyone who supported us - either by taking part in the walk and by sponsoring us. We managed to raise a fantastic £1275 for agility equipment for our dogs! We are now deciding what equipment to buy so, hopefully, we'll be up and running (and jumping!) very soon. Thanks again to everyone for helping us to raise the funds we needed!

Will let you know when any other up coming walks are!
