I met two dogs called Ronnie and Reggie, “they're named after the Krays – because they are a couple of Fugs” and I got talking to the owner about a post on a Haywards Heath site where some fool claimed they wanted to smash a car window in Sainsburys car park because there was a dog in the car. As it is Winter, the owner is probably only in the Supermarket for a maximum of 20 minutes and the terror that smashing the car window would inflict on the poor dog, the statement could only have been posted by someone who is not really thinking. But, as Bernard Shaw said, “most people don't think and that has allowed me to make a good living by thinking once or twice a year”.
Dog day events for Easter that you and your pooch might want to consider are as follows:
'Bark in the Park' – A St Catherine's Hospice sponsored dog walk 'in aid of free end of life care for people when they need it most' - £5 (£10 on the day) in East Grinstead, Crawley or Horsham 30th May 2015 - 10am - 12pm. All dogs are asked to bring a two legged friend to cough up the cash. For details: www.stch.org.uk/barkinthepark
'The Big Haywards Heath Bluebell Walk' – Sunday 5th April 2015 at 12pm - £5. Come walk your dog through the Bluebell Woods to raise money for Canine Partners 'a charity that provides specially trained assistance dogs to help people with disabilities'. To register or find out more information: www.caninepartners.org.uk/bigbluebellwalks or call 01730 716 013.
Canine Partners dogs are trained to open and close doors, help with undressing, unloading washing machines, answer the telephone and taking cards and cash from ATMs - pity they can't train them to run the economy as The Puppy Party would certainly be good at making a lot of noise in The Commons.
