What our Volunteers say: Julie H
I had the pleasure of taking Holly to the carnival today. She needed some help to get into the car on the outward journey, but she immediately settled down and travelled well.
On our arrival, she was reluctant to get out but we straight away met Rebel with his family, who helped to lift her down. She happily walked onto the field where she enjoyed meeting people of all ages and dogs of various breeds and sizes. She was unphased by any of them, including dogs that barked at her.
Holly wasn't keen on my plan to stroll around a bit and once we got to the HRH stands she decided that was where she would stay. She spent much of her time behind Joy and Neil's stall, watching the dog show and sleeping, although still happy to meet people who came around to meet her.
Once we'd left the carnival field, she put the brakes on (possibly because of the gravel pathway back to the car). She easily jumped into the car. On arrival at the kennels, she indicated that she'd rather stay in the car boot than get out, so Elaine helped me get her up and then she jumped down easily.
She really didn't want to walk at all on the gravel so Damian carried her much of the way down to the kennels. Elaine brought her dinner straight away, which she wolfed down like Desperate Dan. What a sweet, calm, gentle dog she is 🩷
