my name is amanda 30 experience with dogs/small furries adore all animals!! i am looking to see whether anyone in the south gloucestershire area would be looking for a dog walker? i love walking/the outdoors am very reliable. i have also opened my home to all small furries, rats/chinchillas/gerbails/hamsters etc to be lookked after while their human pals are away on holiday!

Tomorrow Maggie mai begins her 'job' as a 'Pet Therapy dog', it was suggested to me that if i get a place in a sheltered accommodation that both my chihuahaus would have to sleep elsewhere and leave premises by 6pm. I am only 57. No one, young, not so young nor elderly should have to part with very loved pets they have as companions for life. it is wrong, it is cruel and its unfair. Life is short, can be very hard for most. A lot of people can only relate to animals and as we get older it becomes a vital component in many lives, as a 57yr old, i sing, cry, laugh and chat to the chihuahuas. I worked for the elderly most of my life and theirs is not pretty. Depression is common in the elderly, elder abuse is very high in Ireland too. This is a step too far to disengage them from furballs of any kind.

in memory of our pets R.I.P

for disabled people who own and love their animals, be they for companionship, assistive, guidedogs who want to share news, joy, fun and make friends in the process!
