Sunday 14th February 2010 Valentines Dog Walk in Malvern Hills - Thank-you to everyone who came on our walk at Castlemorton, on the Malvern Hills. It was a beautiful sunny day for a change! There were a total of 19 hounds, including some newly homed hounds. There were a few apologies from some of our regulars who could not make it this time. Also, very sadly, a few of our regular hounds have passed away since our last walk. Our thoughts are with everyone in 2009/early 2010 who lost their beloved trailies. Rainbow Bridge 

Owing to the large numbers on the walk, most were on leads but they still had a great time. We are hoping to organise a walk later this year in the same area on a farm with stock proof fencing so that we can let the hounds have a bit more freedom. Watch this space! 

Up and over

If you have ever wondered what your trailhound used to do before coming to live with you, we have a selection of trailing photos HERE 

Thank-you to Steve Miller for letting us use his pictures.

We are indebted to a number of companies who have sponsored us this year. They have donated a range of products for us to use at fundraising events throughout the summer. Please go to our SPONSORS PAGE to see who has supported us and see if you can, in turn, support them! Thank-you.

Danni and proud owner, Dave, flew the flag for trailhounds and Pets As Therapy at the 02 Arena and Wembley in March. Danni and Dave found each other at Harefield Dogs Trust and have an amazing close bond. They survived a car crash together and helped each other to recover over a period of many months. Danni became a PAT dog and regularly visits hospitals. We have added new pictures and story of Danni doing his PAT work on his page in the Gallery.

I hope that you all like our new look website. It would not have been possible without the help of trailie owner and graphic designer, Richard Nicholls. Richard has also been patiently showing me how to update pages. Please be patient while I transfer over all your gallery stories. This will be a great opportunity for you to send in updated stories and pictures of your hounds. Email to sue@trailhoundwelfare.org.uk We welcome your feedback about our new website.

Podgy Paws in the centre of Keswick sells a large range of pet products, including the fabulous Hurtta dog coats. Lotty and her trailie friend Sally, field tested the coats for 4 hours on the fells in wind, snow and rain and definitely said they would recommend them!
