Hello...
Just about to arrange a pre Christmas meet up, small numbers ideally, had two nice eves earlier in the year, when other HHO members came over for a dual purpose exercise so seeing who else is interested.
Last time I made a thai curry with all the trimmigs, Be Positive made a yummy Eton Mess..the time before I made a Southern Indian type Curry, Boozey Chocolate brick cake and home made raspberry icecream...we had two nice evenings and was nice to meet new faces.
The dual purpose side was a positive experience for my rescue dog who is scared of new people - it worked absolute wonders for his confidence. I would love to do another and have 2 from the original meet ups so far that would like to do more...so anyone interested?
My only asks are: please females only at this stage(he's more worried by men) and that you are not scared of dogs. He's very scared and barky initially but I kept him on a lead, everyone came in and sat down and totally ignored him (no eye contact)..I left bowls of nibbles out (ok home made dog bics but they were yummy so he tells me) so he gradually learnt that new people feed him..he got really brave and then started making friends and showing off his tricks
I would be VERY grateful for anyone who is able to spend a dark wintery rainy evening helping socialize him so am of course feeding you. If lots of people reply i'm more than happy to do several smaller meet ups and then mix up the groups? Happy to do evenings for meal..or coffee cakes in the day etc.
Would be lovely to make some new friends out of it too as I don't know many people locally, it was really lovely to meet like minded people...
When he gets braver I would like to add the occasional stooge dog for a quiet walk somewhere...
any ideas or suggestions please let me know pm if scared.
Other idea was we all bake something and have a complete cake fest! or do similar with a buffet style one eve???
