Request: Trainers Size 5/6 (Ramsgate CT11) Do you have a pair of size 5/6 trainers that would welcome a new home? They are for a friend and need to be trainers that are wider and have a short front.

Request: harness for dog (Ramsgate CT11) Do you have a harness for a dog? Size below.

So this is not an urgent request. And if you have a harness to re-home, my friend would be very grateful. She writes Breed: Portuguese Podengo Weight: 9kg Neck: 30cm Chest: 50 cm Waist: 40cm "The one I’m really looking for is a big ask, it’s called the Houdini Harness With the waist strap far enough back so he can’t wriggle out of it. And I will gladly accept another until I can save for the dream model." Many thanks.
