Mostly we see them just as excuses to try to tell you about a company and if they haven\u2019t offered you anything special then we don\u2019t think that\u2019s fair. This one is different though and we thought that what they were doing was really worthwhile and might help any one of our humans one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Cinnamon-Trust.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Cinnamon-Trust-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14131\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Cinnamon Trust Volunteer Katie and Smudge<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There is an organisation called the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinnamon.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cinnamon Trust<\/a> that helps the elderly and terminally ill with the care of their pets so they don\u2019t have to be parted. They help over 87,000 people and pets every year. It can be as simple as taking them for a walk or rather more if a human has had to go into hospital. Anyway, the company called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fish4dogs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fish4Dogs<\/a> is using the skills and resources it has to offer some help to the charity. They are going to help them with recruitment and also work to encourage their customers to be aware of the charity and help. In addition to that they are offering the trust discounts, not only with their own needs but for their volunteers too. They already have 16,000 volunteers working with them but always need more, so well done to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fish4dogs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fish4Dogs<\/a> for lending their support. You can find more about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinnamon.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cinnamon Trust HERE<\/a>&#8211; if you do get involved in helping them then we\u2019d love to hear about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also like to hear of the ways that business\u2019s support charities that work with dogs. If you know of other companies finding practical ways to offer support then why not let us know so we can tell everyone about them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a more mundane level, Ari is going swimming today as I\u2019m still not feeling completely well. He did wonder about Shadow going but she pulled a muscle the other day and our Mistress wants her to recover from that first. He will come up with any suggestion to get out of having to go himself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a great Tuesday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\/\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 2017 Rosemary J.
