Beth yw Mwytho a Sgwrsio/Pat & Chat?
Mae Mwytho a Sgwrsio/Pat and Chat yn ffordd o ddathlu ein perthynas â chŵn ac o roi hwb i’n lles a chreu cysylltiadau newydd yn y gymuned LHDTCRHA+. Mae'r cyfarfodydd anffurfiol a chynhwysol hyn wedi'u cynllunio’n unswydd ar eich cyfer chi! Mae pob cyfarfod Mwytho a Sgwrsio/Pat and Chat yn cynnwys sesiwn holi ac ateb gydag arbenigwr gwadd. Chi sy’n dewis sut i gymryd rhan, boed hynny gyda'ch camera a'ch meicroffon ar waith neu beidio. Sicrhau eich bod chi’n gysurus yw ein blaenoriaeth.
Pam Mwytho a Sgwrsio/Pat & Chat?
Ein nod yw creu cysylltiadau a meithrin ymdeimlad o berthyn, ac rydyn ni’n gwybod bod cŵn yn ein helpu i wneud hynny. Rydyn ni hefyd yn gwybod eu bod yn cael effaith gadarnhaol ar ein hiechyd meddwl ac emosiynol. Creu mannau lle mae hynny'n cael ei ddathlu yw ein nod. Felly, boed yn berchen ar gi ai peidio, rydyn ni yma i glywed eich straeon a'ch profiadau chi. Mae ein digwyddiadau ni’n ffordd o ddweud #DiolchIrCŵn.
Manteisiwch ar y digwyddiadau gwych a ddaw â'r gymuned LHDTCRHA + at ei gilydd. Ymunwch â'n sesiynau Mwytho a Sgwrsio/Pat & Chat i ddathlu ein cariad at gŵn, ein lles a’n hundod fel cymuned.
