Let's hear it for Scrappie who's been through the wars this last month.

She had a haematoma in her ear that kept filling with blood. It was drained several times but it didn't heal on its own, so she had a corrective operation and 20 drains installed.

It's healing really well and hopefully she'll get the final all-clear from the vet tomorrow.

Scrappie has been hugely brave and resilient throughout. She's been as happy as ever and the cones haven't held her back one bit. Scrappie rules 🤩

7️⃣ SEVERRRRRN! Get your judging paddles ready... who nailed the log jump?

We're looking for a solid clearance, technical accuracy and artistic interpretation.

Bonus points for happy ears.

In the event of a tie, Head Judge Gyp, (he's the Collie, gawping from the sideline) will have the final vote.

How have I let this happen?

These two bouncing beauts have been walking with me for weeks now and I've not introduced them 😳 Shame on me.

Drum roll please 🥁🥁🥁 for Leia and Murray (Collie cross and Labrador respectively). Oh my goodness, they're a WHIRLWIND 🤣

If I could bottle their energy and enthusiasm, I'd put those tictoc snake oil charlatans right out of business because these two are the real deal!!! 💥

They're best mates with each other, that's clear as day and utterly adorable ❤️ but they also spend time independently mucking about with their new pals.... Leia and Rufus have a full on blossoming romance and Murray will happily shoulder barge his way through a speed race with Beau or Gus, Lab style! They're both ACE fun and have spiced things up so well, that we all go home panting (me included) 😆

All hail the glossy black siblings 🙌

I gave my old boy, Brock, a heavy duty trim ✂️ Now he has his own rug. Literally, his *own* rug!

I know I'm going to get some grief for doing this because Brock is a double coated Border Collie and in the grooming world, it's said that you should never clip a double coat because 1) a double coat acts as a two way insulator 2) the coat will never grow back properly.

So why did I do this? Because I've read several pieces of well researched information regarding air flow around the body and how thick, heavy coats prevent this. If the coat was insulating a static object, this may be the case but dogs are not static - they're always moving, breathing, panting, digesting - generating body heat through active muscle use. Groomers from around the world with many decades of experience have agreed.

As we know, panting (the only real way a dog can expell heat) is inefficient because the act of panting generates body heat in order to expell it.

In warmer weather (never mind the heat waves) Brock is panting more than the average dog. He even struggles in the winter with central heating and my house is notoriously cold!

Cue my decision to finally clip him entirely. Something I've pondered over for years and spoken to several vets about, especially as he ages and struggles to regulate and comfortably settle.

So what about his beautiful coat? Good question. It was a beautiful coat, he's always recieved compliments for his looks. But life isn't a beauty pageant and he certainly couldn't give two hoots about his looks! (we should all be more dog). What he does care about is quality of life.

Side note - in case you're curious, it takes two growth cycles for the coat to return to its full glory.

I clipped him last week in the height of the heatwave and the difference was immediate. He slept well, he played with toys and he bounced through the woods with renewed vigour. It's been a game changer.

The only thing I regret is not doing it sooner.

I'll take a proper photo of him tomorrow and bob it in the comments with a 'before' for comparison

Dogs first. Always.

I've had to make tough decisions this week about which walks to cancel and which to start early in the day.

It's not a decision I take lightly because I make a commitment to my clients to be there on set days and they rely on that regularity.

However, this week has been the exception to the rule and most of my walks have been called off.

Is this good for business?
Definitely not.
Is this good for the dogs' welfare? ABSOLUTELY YES!

And I would do it again, in the next heatwave.

So this is my opportunity to thank all my wonderfully understanding, dog loving clients, who all agreed without question, that skipping walks was the right decision. Thank you for putting your dogs first ❤️

Here's a snippet of a message I just recieved from Beau's mum...
.."your care, knowledge and expertise is what we need and why you're always so busy...your thoughtfulness and advice are way more than I could've imagined when you took him on..." 🥺🙏

This is also a big shout out to all my friends in dog walking, training and grooming who have also prioritised their dogs over appointments ️🙌🫡 You guys rock!

Dogs first. Always.
