Hi all
In 3 weeks Buffy will be able to go out for walks and i was just wondering if there was anyone living in Islington North London that would like to join us?
There are a few people around here who have dogs but not many that i see walking their dogs often.
Anyway if anyone wants to join us just let me know.
Thanks Debbie

Thanks Lel.
I did see a lady today walking to yellow labs, i was in a rush to get the kids to school so i couldnt ask her if she walked the dogs this way everyday, but i am going to leave tomorrow a bit earlier and hopefully i will see her again.
At this rate Buffy will be very lonely and have no doggy friends :(
Again Thank you
Debbie

This is just a suggestion but how about asking at your vets if there are any pups being inoculated at the same time as Buffy and then asking if you could leave a message on their notice board, or if the receptionist could pass on a "contact" number to the other puppy owners?
I did this and it worked we still walk with a couple of the people and their pups even 12 months old later. Best of buddies forever I think.
Or will you walk at a regulare time and go to the same place, if so why not go now before Buffy can go out and stop and a dog walker at random :) and check out their dog ie friendly etc ( no point in picking the Mike Tyson of the dog world) then mention you have a pup and do they walk
1. Regularly
2. Would they like compnay.
My moto you get nowt if you don't ask! ;)

Puppy classes are also very good for socialising at too and have a look in the vets as they sometimes have ads etc for people in the same boat as you :)

Hi all
We start puppy classes tomorrow night and my plan is to find the women with the 2 labs i saw today and speak to her.
I hadnt thought about putting a notice up in the vets, i will ask them tomorrow night if thats ok.
I also know that the receptionist at the vets has a lab so maybe i could join her on walks.
I'm not bothered about what breed we walk with it's just that so far i have only seen labs about :)

Walk with as many breeds/sizes you can I didn't walk Sal with "small dogs" no reason apart from I couldn't find any and now Sal is not overly keen on playing with small dogs. She I hink doesn't think they are dogs only the poodle next door does she play with.

just a wee bit Emma.
It looks like we wont be able to go to puppy class tomorrow night, my husband has just informed me that he is working late and i am NOT taking my 2 yr old son. I would hate to think what he would do to 20 puppies lol. So unless i can find a sitter before tomorrow night Buffy will just have to stay friendless for a bit longer.
