🌈 EXCITING NEWS 🌈

A few weeks ago we were contacted by Tanya, a social prescriber from the One Life in Hartlepool. Social prescribing is an approach that connects people with community-based resources to address their social, practical, and emotional needs, thereby improving their health and well-being.
Tanya had sadly recently lost her dog Bobby and used our services, realising there was something missing in the community she reached out to us and on Wednesday we had a meeting with her alongside Margaret and Alec to discuss creating a monthly Pet Bereavement Group.
We all agreed this is very much needed, and between us came up with some great ideas
This would be hosted by ourselves, along with Hayley from Friends and the social prescribing team and held in a venue ( still looking) it would be once a month for a couple of hours, sometimes family and friends don't understand the immense grief that loosing your faithful companion brings, talking with others who have been through the same grief as you can really help Tea, coffee and cakes would be provided, we are still in the planning phase and are hoping to have our first meeting in the new year. Please let us know your thoughts and any suggestions, we need your help to get this of the ground and please share this to spread the word ❤️
Thank you

👻Twiki says arrrrooooo. Some thoughts for Halloween

🎃Perhaps that house is in darkness because they are out tick or treating.

🎃Perhaps the person inside doesn’t like dark nights and random people knocking on their door.

🎃 Perhaps they have a reactive Pupkin in the house.

Respect your neighbours tonight, if they are in the darkness they probably don’t want to join in, pass on by and enjoy your night with those who do!

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻 Have fun and enjoy the spooky vibes — but remember to keep your beagles safe and settled 🐶🧡🕯️

LOST DOGS, and why you are asked to do the opposite to what you would think.

‼️ FLIGHT MODE ‼️
....refers to a lost dog's instinct to run and hide. A dog in flight mode may not even recognise it's owner!

A lost dog in flight mode dog should not be chased, and instead needs to be approached with caution and strategy.

A dog in flight mode is in survival mode and is not thinking clearly. Chasing it will only make it run further away. This behaviour is a survival instinct and will likely end when the dog feels safe, is no longer being pursued, and has a source of food.

The Lost Dog Trapping Team Search And Rescue Network CIC are a network of volunteers who help find and safely recover lost dogs.

Their services include providing initial advice, tracking the dog's movements, and setting up traps for safe capture.

They rely on donations and volunteer efforts to continue their work. The team emphasises the importance of not chasing a dog in flight mode and using strategic methods to encourage it to come to you.

They work in cooperation with owners to achieve the best results and ask that nobody gets involved without first getting their guidance.

WE know their methods work and so ask that you listen to them and not to someone who has no experience in this field
