😂🐾Things only dog owners will understand…

1️⃣ You can't go to the toilet without an audience. 🚽

2️⃣ Your phone storage is 90% photos of your dog. 📸

3️⃣ You say “walkies” and suddenly they're wide awake! 🐕

4️⃣ You buy them a lovely new bed… and they sleep on the cardboard box. 📦

5️⃣ You spend ages cleaning the house, then one muddy walk changes everything. 🐾

6️⃣ You wouldn't change a single thing because they're family. 💜

Be honest… how many of these sound familiar? 😂

🐝 🐾So yesterday’s dog walk took a bit of an unexpected turn… start of the walk, minding our own business, I got attacked by what I think must have been wasps or hornets 🐝 🤦‍♀️

Stung FOUR TIMES in total, including my face and legs! I saw one of the little sh*ts in my leg and I swear it winked at me! The pain was instant, so naturally I did the only sensible thing… ran away screaming “RUN! RUN!” at the dogs like we were in some horror film! I honestly thought I had been attacked by ‘tracker jackers’ (any hunger games fans?!) 🏃‍♀️💨😂

Unfortunately they were in hot pursuit, I was in full panic mode, and somehow, by some absolute miracle, NOT ONE OF THE DOGS GOT STUNG! 🙌🐶

Apologies to all the owners but I did have to cut the walk short. I tried to continue but the pain got too intense and I thought I might go into anaphylaxis shock and someone would find me dead in the woods with the dogs either eating me or licking me! 🤣🤣🤣 Not that I’m dramatic 🤷🏻‍♀️🤪

The pain lasted all of yesterday and last night but Fast forward to this morning and the pain has been replaced by itching like crazy!!!🥴🤬

❤️🙏🏼Massive thank you to Beth and Jenn, who received my absolutely frantic voice notes while I was in the middle of my meltdown. 😂 (as o say not dramatic )Not sure what I expected them to do but they did help calm me down. I love this team❤️

The dogs? Absolutely fine.
Me? Traumatised.
My dignity? Left somewhere in those woods🤣🐝

🐾❤️Thank goodness Thursday went as smooth as a babies bottom! I Had the gorgeous new girl Juno with me for a one off- who I absolutely adored!

ALSO…meet Vinni my new electric van! I literally do not know myself! It is magical 🚙

❤️🐾 PLEASE READ 👀

There are certain things every dog walker quietly dreads, and this is one of them.

Our lovely friend and fellow dog walker Maxine from Petpals Cardiff North, Wales has broken part of her neck and is currently unable to work for what looks like to be a long time. That means no walks, no income and, on top of everything, her van has also broken down.

As dog walkers, we know it’s not as simple as just taking time off. You worry about your clients, finding them cover, letting people down — and how you’ll manage financially with no money coming in.

Maxine is one of those genuinely lovely people who would do anything for anyone, and now she needs some help herself. ❤️

If you can donate anything at all, or simply share her GoFundMe, it would mean so much and help take away some of the financial worry while she focuses on getting better.

In the current climate I know times are really hard for everyone at the moment. So we appreciate you even taking the time to read this- thank you! 🙏🏼❤️🐾

Hi, I’m Nikki. I’m a fellow dog walker in North Cardiff and I’ve known Maxine through… Nicola Warner needs your support for Help Maxine Get Back on Her Feet

❤️🐾A cautionary tale…

The Dead Cat Incident 🐈‍⬛

Our story begins on a peaceful country lane.

A woman is driving along, going about her working day, when up ahead she spots a car pulled over. 🚐

Then she sees a rather scary looking woman get out.

She watches this woman KICK A DEAD CAT ONTO THE VERGE.
Well.. Absolutely f***ing not!

Our heroine sees red 😡

In the space of approximately 0.3 seconds, she has established the facts of the case:🤔

This woman has clearly run over someone’s beloved pet, booted the evidence into a hedge and is now planning to flee the scene.

Justice must be served.

She SLAMS on the brakes.

Pulls over.

And, with all the confidence of someone who has absolutely no idea what is actually happening, shouts:

“YOU CAN’T JUST LEAVE IT THERE! THAT’S SOMEONE’S PET!”

The woman turns around stares her straight in the 👀

She continues.

“You need to take it to a vet! They can check it for a microchip! Someone could be looking for it!”

There is a pause.

The scary woman stares at her.

Our heroine stares back, presumably feeling like some sort of countryside Batman for deceased pets.

And then the woman says:

“It’s a dead BADGER, you silly cow.” 🦡🦡

……

Oh…

Apparently the “cat” was, in fact, a fully grown badger.

It had been there for ages and had already been reported.

And the woman was simply moving it further off the road.

What followed was a lot of apologising, an increasingly angry woman explaining the situation in great detail, and one deeply embarrassed animal vigilante desperately trying to get back into her car and f**k off as quickly as humanly possible.

She left with her dignity in tatters, but an important lesson had been learned.

Moral of the story:

Before starting a roadside confrontation on behalf of a dead cat…

Make sure it’s actually a f***ing cat. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Or, alternatively:

Mind your own business. 😂😂😂
