AFAMA

Association Faial of friends and animals - AFAMA.

This association was brought to our attention when attending an open market, selling second hand goods to raise money for their organisation. A photo album of all their dogs was present and how sad to think 98 doggies are homeless. To raise awareness - Joana said they would be holding a walkies day with the dogs but they needed more volunteers to help.

 This was the least we could do, so today at 10.30 we were there ready to walk the doggies. Afama have two holding points, we left from the one closer to town and made our way towards the sea, along the waterfront ending in the park near the swimming pool. Have to say they were well organised, we divided into groups of 5 and were given a leader who wore the viz vest, carried the water and had the poo bags (bit of a shitty job).








 I got an old girl, who was thin, drooping nipples and had a type of flea reaction near the back of her tail. None the less she was content to be out and very well behaved. Chrissie on the other hand got a dogie who preferred to take her for a walk, we eventually swapped and after I realised the little guy was after a hottie in the front we sorted that out by walking ahead of her.

The rest of the afternoon was filled with dog games and dance demonstrations so all in all a well spent day.
