Dog walking companion
Having built an extended fence that means now most of the property is enclosed I would like to be a dog Foster carer but haven't had anything to do with dogs for many years. I'm interested to hear from anyone who has a small to medium dog that is happy to have someone join them for a walk (no power wakers please), say once a week if of distance to 9th Ave, otherwise happy to meet up a couple of times a week if nearby. My aim is to gain knowledge and confidence again about caring for a dog before I approach someone to take on the responsibility. Diane

I am wanting someone to come and stack a load of dry firewood in a shed for me please. Paid. Phone 5776148
