Looking forward to coming up and seeing everybody. But please Liz, its scootering, not scooting. I have a mental image now of loads of dogs scooting along on their bums in perfect synchrony

Can’t believe I’ll miss this 2 years in a row.

Had my wedding last year and this year baby brady is due that week so it’s unlikely I’ll make it!!

You’ll all have to take loads of photos for me!

Hello everyone, i just stumbled upon this website! Can someone explain exactly what the day is about?!?! I would love to bring my dog along but do you have to train the dogs to do things?

Hi Linni, the DID Fun Day is all about fun! Everyone is welcome and plenty of people bring their dogs along. They don’t have to be super trained at all but restricted breeds had to be muzzled last year (presume it is the same deal this year). There is a dog show (very casual), stalls of stuff to buy and it’s a general relaxed day of fundraising for DID. Last years was great fun and you are very wecome!
