Something for the Weekend?

"Rhywbeth achos 'r penwythnos? Something for the weekend?" Mmm.. yes, an extra large dog towel and a strong pair of walking boots. This is minimum requirement for the adventurous dog lover seeking romance at one of Safepets' singles weekends. Single dog owners only are invited to spend a couple of days at the L & A Outdoor Centre in South Wales for some dog training and, in the words of the organiser, 'dating activities'.

The first weekend has been arranged for 6th to 9th March and is being run by Debbie Connolly of the BBC3 Dog Borstal programme and Dogs Today magazine.

Debbie is hopeful this will become a regular event:

"We have a fantastic dog friendly venue with great facilities. People are telling me they have been waiting for this sort of holiday for a long time, dating and dog training all at once. As a single woman myself, I am quite excited too…"

Applicants will be asked to declare their single status, and use only first names throughout the weekend. Dogs will sleep in riverside log cabins with their owners.

So, if you're now as excited as Debbie and you quite fancy something for the weekend, you can discover more at www.safepets.co.uk.
