Boarding at the Buttery - Based in Golden Valley Derbyshire

I am getting a lot of enquiries , but please understand I can’t reply at the moment … 💔

I do not know how to put into words how heartbroken we are . Whilst on holiday our beautiful big boy …. Mamas big boy Scooby our grandbaby has passed away after a sudden horrific illness .

Words can’t express how shocked we are and broken that we couldn’t say goodbye to you .

We all love you so much , and just can’t believe you’ve gone 💔😢😢how hard it will be to get home from holiday and you not come bounding up to us like the crazy boy you were .. we named you Scooby as a puppy because you were so gangly and big and bouncy but you lived up to your name . You were such a good companion to mum but a massive part of our lives to all of us in your family.
Wonderful and gentle with all the grandchildren , we delivered you and held you in the palms of my hands and helped and watched you grow into the big boy you became to our beloved mum .. 💔
Your mummy and daddy ruby and duke are going to miss you terribly as you’ve remained so close to them throughout your life ..

Sleep tight big lad over the rainbow 🌈 bridge you go to your twin brother Rolo run through the fields together … shocked and heartbroken 💔 ###

Hey guys !!! I’m so officially on holiday at long last … I wanted to share some photos of our pups over the last few months and remind you of my services.
I am a 5 star council registered home boarder .
Your dogs live with me in my home with my family as part of my family I am not a kennel .

Your pups are with us constantly as a member of our family , receiving love and companionship .

More recently I’ve had several dogs cause damage to our home/ furnishings or belongings and I’d like to thank those who are kind enough to replace or compensate me for these things I’m eternally grateful for that.
Moving forward I will be amending my contract to reflect this as a small business I can’t sustain the amounts of items I’m currently having to replace.

Im not going to say it’s always easy doing what I love because it’s not I recognise my family have struggled at times and that’s not healthy for any of us , I love what I do but I must make sure at all times because the dogs are living with us that everyone is happy . Dogs , and family .

I am eternally grateful for those that respect me and treat me well with all the beautiful gifts I receive and heartfelt messages I get and I will thank you always ….
For the overwhelming support I receive from you for my small family business

For now Auntie C is taking a little while to be me . And to prioritise my family ### ❤️

Mila , Ruby and Holly having a swim
Yesterday ,Hollys definitely my water baby ❤️😍. It did Mila the world of good she hasn’t been herself at all until we discovered she really doesn’t like the fly 🪰 killer !!!
Now switched off so she’s happier I just need to figure out how to deal with these pesky things ! Anyone else having issues with flies ???

Marley arrived today and he’s having a great time jumping all over the place in an attempt to kill them

Hi Guys!!!

Just a gentle reminder full balance is required 2 weeks prior , I’m finding I’m having to chase quite a bit at the moment your support with this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
