The only thing I don’t love about the autumn months… the return of the lurgy! 🤧🍂

I’ve been absolutely knocked for six by this awful cold/flu-like bug that seems to be doing the rounds.

Here are a few snippets of the dogs having the best time Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, whilst I was just about surviving on Lemsip, Oranges and Sudafed! 😂🤧🍊
On my lunchtime walk yesterday, I met up with Sophie from Whiskers & Woofs Pet Services, all the dogs merged well and played beautifully whilst we had a long overdue catch up 🐕

Today is officially a horizontal-on-the-sofa kind of day… something I probably only do twice a year! And what better way to spend it than tackling my most dreaded job… the tax return🙄💻

So, the big question is… how long do you reckon I’ll last before I get restless and have to get up and do something?! 😂🐾

I often get asked what services I offer exactly, so here’s a round up 🥰

🐕 Group walks: Likeminded groups of well socialised dogs. Maximum of 6, generally 1 hour long. Varied routes and lots of sniffing opportunities. Manners and recall practiced and rewarded.

🐕 Solo walks: For dogs who are maybe not so social, dogs needing walks at unusual times of day, older dogs and puppy’s who need more time or attention. Routes and times tailored to the individual. All dogs start off as a solo walk so that I can assess them and get to know them.

🐕 Training walks/ sessions. I am qualified to take group classes for basic training and skills. I currently offer training walks for recall, loose lead walking and basic manners/skills. These are tailored to the dog and the owner. Please note, I am NOT a qualified behaviourist so I cannot advise on why a dog is behaving in a certain way or fix the root emotional problem. I can however refer you onwards if need be

🐕 Wedding chaperoning. This includes care for the dog throughout the day, walks, bathing, feeding etc. I can bring the dog along to whichever parts of your day you require, the ceremony, the photos, etc. This is completely unique and tailored to what the couple want

🐕 Reactivity. I have helped many dogs who are struggling with reactivity to become comfortable around other dogs and even come along on group walks. Although I am happy to take on dogs with reactivity issues and offer advice based on my experience, I cannot get to the root cause of the issue as described above.

🐕 Pet sitting. I offer sits within the animals home/holiday home. At this time I only offer sits of a few hours or one night due to having young children. I DO NOT have a licence to board dogs in my own home

🐕 Equine care. I can look after your horses whilst you are away on holiday. I am a competent rider having riden, taken on and owned difficult horses for most of my life.

🐕 Small animal care. I can look after any small animal within the house whilst you are away on holiday. I love all creatures so happy to help with even the most exotic

Phew 😮‍💨

3/4 of these dogs owners have said this picture from today looks superimposed/AI. It’s definitely all real but I can sort of see what they mean. What do you think? 🤔🤣 I love it!

I cried for the entire film… and then for about an hour afterwards 😢

The graphics were a little questionable 😂 but the film beautifully captures just how incredible dogs are and how very lucky we are to share such a special bond with them.

If you’re a dog lover, go and watch it. You’ll definitely come away wanting to hug your dogs a little tighter afterwards 🐶❤️

Ps. Spoiler. The dog doesn’t die 🫶

🎉🐾 Happy 10th Birthday to gorgeous Barney! 🐾🎉

Barney, you really are one of the sweetest boys ❤️
You love nothing more than a good muddy puddle, a swim and, of course, a few treats! 😂

You might be a bit of a wimp when it comes to loud noises, but honestly, that’s just part of what makes you so endearing. You’re one of those dogs who is just so easy to love and always good company, stuck to me like Velcro most of the time 🥰

I hope you had the best birthday walk with all your friends today and that you’re now happily snuggled up with your lovely owner Wendy ❤️ 🎂

WE ARE 3!! 🎉🐾

October is such a special month here at Smith & Snout. Three years ago, when my youngest daughter was 5 months old, I took the leap and turned my lifelong passion for caring for animals into my job. I hit the ground running, and I honestly haven’t looked back since.

I absolutely love what I do and feel so lucky to have such wonderful clients. I’m incredibly grateful for all the love and support you’ve given me along the way and for helping me turn my dream into a reality ❤️

Of course, this job comes with some heartbreaking moments too. This year, I’ve had to say goodbye to some very special dogs who will be in my heart forever 🙏🐾

Three years of Smith & Snout, and I couldn’t be more thankful for every moment, every wagging tail and every amazing client.

Happy October, everyone! 🎃🍂
