Long post but please read ๐
Most people probably think weโre spending this gorgeous weather sat in the garden with a cold drink ๐นโ๏ธ, topping up our tan and enjoying the sunshine ๐๐ปโฆ
The reality? ๐
Weโre stressing ๐ฌ
This week alone, weโve cancelled over 50 dogs ๐๐
Not because we canโt be bothered to walk in the heat ๐ซ๐ก๏ธ
Quite the opposite.
Weโve cancelled because we always put the dogs first ๐พโค๏ธ
Weโre worrying about the loss of income ๐ธ
Weโve still got bills to pay, wages to cover, and a business to run ๐ท๐
Weโre worrying that clients are rolling their eyes ๐ and thinking weโre being over-cautious.
And if weโre being completely honestโฆ
Weโre also worrying about what happens if this heatwave continues all summer โ๏ธ๐ฅ
What if this becomes our new normal?
As small business owners, weโre always thinking ahead, always planning, always trying to work out how weโre going to make things work ๐
๐คฏ
But hereโs the thingโฆ
We would rather lose income ๐ธโ
We would rather cancel walks ๐โ
Than ever risk a dogโs health or life for the sake of a booking ๐พโค๏ธโ๐ฉน
These temperatures can be dangerous ๐ก๏ธ๐ฅ, and no amount of money is worth taking that chance.
So if youโve been affected by cancellations this week, thank you for understanding ๐โค๏ธ
Weโre not trying to make life difficult.
Weโre simply trying to keep your dogs safe ๐พ๐ฅฐ
