So, it seems that Portsmouth has got state-of-the-art kennels, built not that long ago. First I heard of them was yesterday, but apparently they are the envy of other Councils. People came all the way from Leicestershire last week just to see them, which wouldn"t have been my idea of a fun day away from the office.
That"s all great, but it seems that, having been built, the kennels are not being used to anywhere near their capacity. As I understand it, strays and unwanted dogs are kept there until someone takes them, but that is the only use to which the kennels are being put at present. My boss has asked me to go there to see the place some time this week and then to come up with some ideas as to how the facility can be used more - if they bring in income, so much the better, but they don"t have to. Yeah right, so that"s easy then. I thought I joined to do Accounts, not to have to think. If anyone has any ideas, I"d be grateful to hear them.
