Sorry, can't help with this one as we have a prior booking.

Thanks anyway, Moira

[Alisa Bee]

We should be okay to come and help. Though there's something nagging at me that there is something that I have forgotten on that day .

[lynnep]

Ok, thanks Ali, but I'm still considering it, due to my uncertain health & the risk that I may not be able to be there on the day.

[Alisa Bee]

Lynne, if there are more willing volunteers able to help, then if you don't feel up to it on the day it could still go ahead.

[lynnep]

I think we will have to leave this one, as my health is too uncertain for me to say I can be there all day, or even at all. I think I'm going to have to reconcile myself to helping at events that others have organised when I can, and helping with transport requests and if I'm allowed, homechecks. It is really frustrating, as I want to help Gap, but everything I try to do seems to fail. Sorry everyone and especially Lisa - I failed with fostering Clive, and still feel bad about it. I would still be willing to foster if there was a dog that had maybe come from a home situation, due to changed circumstances, or an elderly or sick dog that needed someone at home. I just can't manage the strong ones on the lead, and George can't always do the walking, due to his work commitments. I love the forum, and would like to help,
Lynne

Lynne please don't be so hard on yourself. It is absolutely fantastic that you found out about this show and offered to organise it.

Everything that Gap does depends on wonderful people like yourself that are willing to give up their time for a whole range of activities and it is a huge committment.

It's great when things come together and frustrating when they don't.

It's a tricky time of year with holidays.

Please don't feel that you have failed, you have not and if there is another event in the future that you can organise then it will be massively appreciated.

Don't feel either that you have let Clive down. Fostering is very difficult on so many levels and its important that both the fosterer and dog are matched for it to work out...its a learning curve and don't forget that Gap don't get to choose the dogs that come along, therefore they are usually on the 'difficult' end of the scale. I'm sure Lisa will keep you in mind if the right kind of dog comes along for you to help, and if you can help then it means that one of the fosterers that can deal with a more difficult dog will have a space.

I think we all feel a frustration from time to time that we can't do more....but there is no way that this could go ahead without other people volunteering their help.

Please don't be put off.....without people like you wanting and willing to organise and help out Gap would not be able to function.

Thank you for trying and caring.

Thanks Sam, I really appreciate that, and I hope your darling dog Dickie continues to improve. What an awful time you're having.
