๐Ÿ˜Š A little throwback to Stanleyโ€™s stay with us ๐ŸŽฅ ๐Ÿพ

11/10/2026

๐Ÿถโค๏ธ One little visit, lots of new experiences for Stanley!

Our young guest did really well during his first little stay with us! ๐Ÿฅฐ He had a few little whimpers when his lovely owner left, but we soon got him interested in some toys, tasty treats and a few cuddles along the way. ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿฆดโค๏ธ

We also enjoyed a gentle stroll around our local park, where Stanley could stretch his little legs and explore the world through his nose. ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿพ So many new smells to investigate!

These little visits are all about giving young dogs the time and space to become familiar with a new home, new people and a different routine, without rushing things. Every dog has their own pace, and we let them find their paws in their own time. โค๏ธ

๐ŸŒ™ Next up for Stanley: his very first sleepover with us! ๐Ÿพ We're looking forward to seeing how he gets on with his next little adventure! ๐Ÿฅฐ

This morning, our little visitor Stanley is coming back for a couple of hours! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿกโค๏ธ Today, he gets to explore a little more of our home, spend time with our family and hopefully feel a little more at ease in his surroundings. Getting to know a new place takes time, so we're letting Stanley discover it at his own pace. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜Š

Letโ€™s see what this little fluffy boy gets up to today! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’•

๐Ÿพ Another adaptation day at Annaโ€™s Happy Paws! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ

Today, Kodi and Pedro spent a few hours together at my house as part of their preparation for a potential joint summer stay next year. โ˜€๏ธ

The boys did pretty well, although I have to admit that Kodi seems to be a little jealous when it comes to sharing my attention! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Every time I sit on the sofa, he squeezes himself onto my lap, giving Pedro a rather disapproving look, even though Pedro needs cuddles too! ๐Ÿ˜„โค๏ธ

Apart from that, they're getting along reasonably well, keeping things fairly calm and friendly, which is really encouraging! ๐Ÿพ

These little adaptation sessions are so important. They give the dogs time to get to know each other at their own pace, helping them feel more comfortable before spending a longer period together. โค๏ธ๐Ÿถ

One step at a time, boys! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’•

An exciting weekend is coming up! โœจ๐Ÿพ

Kodi & Pedro are back for another important step in their adaptation journey! ๐Ÿ’™ This time, the boys will spend a few hours at our home without their owners, giving them the chance to get more comfortable with each other and with their new surroundings. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ

As I mentioned before, taking things slowly and giving dogs time to adjust is such an important part of helping them feel safe and confident.

I honestly canโ€™t wait to see how they get on! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿพ Letโ€™s see what the boys think of their next little adventure together! ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿพ A little first step for Stanley! ๐Ÿพ

Today we had a lovely meet & greet with Stanley and his owners. Heโ€™s a gorgeous, energetic and playful young boy โ€” and that incredibly soft, fluffy coat certainly makes him hard to resist! โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿถ

Stanley is also a little cautious when faced with new surroundings, so weโ€™re taking things slowly and giving him the chance to build confidence at his own pace.

Our next step will be a short independent visit here next week, for a couple of hours without his owners. It will give Stanley another opportunity to experience our home in a calm, familiar way and, most importantly, let us see how he feels when heโ€™s here on his own. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿพ

Every dog is different, and sometimes it takes a few small steps to discover what works best for them. โค๏ธ

Keep your fingers crossed that our fluffy boy has a lovely settling-in session next week! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿถ

Kodi & Pedro ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜„

Today was all about getting Kodi & Pedro to know each other โ€” and Iโ€™m very happy to say their first meeting went brilliantly! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™

We started at the park, giving the boys a chance to meet in a neutral outdoor space and get comfortable with each other. From there, we came back to our garden before eventually letting them explore the house together.

And they did absolutely brilliantly! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Weโ€™re not stopping there, though. The boys will have another little practice session soon, this time without their owners โ€” just me and the two of them. It will give them another calm opportunity to spend time together and get used to being in the same environment.

I believe introducing dogs from different homes gradually is such an important part of boarding. I love taking things in small, gentle steps, giving each dog the time and space they need to feel comfortable rather than rushing the process.

For me, itโ€™s all about making sure that when the boys come to stay at Annaโ€™s Happy Paws ๐Ÿพ, they already feel familiar with the environment and with each other โ€” helping everyone settle in as happily and calmly as possible. โค๏ธ

A fantastic first step for Kodi & Pedro, and Iโ€™m looking forward to seeing the boys again! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ
