    I wish it didn't start that way, I feel bad then I'm ok on the walk and then the next time I go to walk her I feel bad again about them being taken away :(

    Both my son and I are walking her daily :) it's on my FB page too.

    I think it is sad too, it hits home doesn't it ...

    I emailed MSE contact last Monday asking if it could be featured again in Martin's weekly newsletter (didn't get a response). It made a real difference and the appeal had momentum when it was featured the week before. If everyone who received Martin's newsletter hit the site, the target would have been met easily.

    It's so easy to give a few minutes of your time, not even giving hard cash, but if the target was reached it would make such a difference to all of the dogs homes it is going to benefit.
  • Morning - Ripley's had her 1st Rising walk of the day:D

    The total's soooooo nearly there - it would be such a shame if it didn't get there.

    Will try to do several today........

  • Just tried (and got another walk in!) - up to £89,892 now so it seems to be moving again

    Seems to 'stick' a lot - I just hope all the walkies are counted.

    I am sure it would achieve the target if it appeared on Martin's weekly newsletter again, it is so close and the last £10,000 would make such a difference to so many needy dogs.

    I am having trouble with the website, everytime I get to Bournemouth, the banner disappears to click to the next site. This is with IE.

    I have been alternating between Mozilla, Safari and Google Chrome as these don't freeze as much as IE, but I find the site really slow today, yet there have not been that many walking the adorable Ripley.

    Really hope it gets a mention in Martin's bulletin this week as it is going to be far short of the target.
