Club President, Sharon Dixon, explains, \u201cThis is an area that has always interested me and I wanted us as a Club to understand more about it. When I say wellbeing, it\u2019s not just the wellbeing of others, it\u2019s also about self-care and looking after ourselves. We need to take care of ourselves so that we can help others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During this pandemic, being mindful of our mental health and wellbeing has been more important than ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWalking has been a key part of lockdown for many of us,\u201d says Sharon. \u201cFor some it was taking their own dog for a walk, whilst others met dog walkers when they were out-and-about. It got us thinking and we looked for ways to bring these various aspects together and, most importantly, have some fun!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2021\/02\/VDS-Facebook-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4599\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2021\/02\/VDS-Facebook-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2021\/02\/VDS-Facebook-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2021\/02\/VDS-Facebook-1-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a>The Virtual Dog Show is a fun way to pull these themes all together and to raise money for local mental health services too.<\/p>\n<p>Entries to the Virtual Dog Show are open from Valentine\u2019s Day on 14<sup>th<\/sup> February until Mother\u2019s Day on 14<sup>th<\/sup> March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: Our Virtual Dog Show is now closed.
