Melbournians Have You A Spare Dog Run For One Day?

[RuralPug]

Nothing ventured nothing gained.

I am off to the Flyball Nationals in Dandenong this weekend AND we have also had a dog accepted to take to the flyball seminar on Monday. I have just now found out that the original plan to send the other dogs home on Sunday night with neighbouring flyballers has come adrift.

So apparently we are driving back again on Sunday night, returning the other 7 dogs back to their home base near Ararat and then turning around and driving back to the Flyball seminar at the Dandenong Showgrounds. That's an extra 400km and about another five hours driving.

Unless.... we find a safe place to stash the 7 non-seminar flyball dogs (might only be 6) in the Melbourne area while we attend the seminar on Monday (9am to 4pm).. They are all well socialised and vary (wildly) in size from a baby puppy mini foxie type to border collies. (The baby is not racing, but can't leave him home while he needs three meals a day.) All vaccs etc up to date and all desexed (well, not the baby yet.)

In the wonderful world of DOLers is there anyone who could securely house 7 dogs for one day please? To make matters worse, I will be offline ('cos I don't have any form of mobile internet). Tomorrow I will jump briefly online and leave online contact details via another DOLer (I haven't asked them yet LOL).

So this is my very cheeky last minute plea for help. If all else fails, we will just do the extra miles, but it would be nice to avoid them and therefore have the ability to stay awake for the seminar.

Thanks everyone - oh, and I will also post this in Show Ring and in General so I can look like an idiot everywhere!:laugh:

I can't help with the dogs but I have finally figured out who you are heading to flyball comps with :laugh:. I hope you find someone to help out. I'll be at Dandy on Sunday so will see you around.

LOL Clover yes it's quite hilarious to be a member of a club that is way across the state but I am never one to do things the normal way!

I hope you can find someone RuralPug, otherwise 400km is a lot of driving!

Thank you so much to Sue (only half hour from the venue!!!!) who has offered to dog sit for the day in her lovely runs and also to Kaye (of an inner Melbourne suburb) who offered her yard if needed as a last resort.

DOLers are truly wonderful people!

Glad you found somewhere for your doggies

I was pestering my OH as he has an RDO on Monday and we have a pretty large yard in Ringwood

I'll let him know he's all good to go gold panning in warrandyte which was likely his original plan.

Do they need to be in a run? If they would be OK with a 4ft gate, I may be able to help.

ETA I'm a bit slow

Yes it is all sorted now, thanks!

I really didn't think it was possible, being so much at the last minute - now even more offers. DOLers really really are wonderful people!
