Hello, how are we? I’m slowly improving, two weeks today since I broke my foot and it’s feeling stronger, trying to balance resting and wanting to get things done is a challenge but I will get there! Missing being out with the dogs in this lovely autumn weather, it’s my favourite time of the year for dog walking so just looking through a few recent pics to cheer me up. Big thank you and who are kindly helping out with dog walks when and where they can, love my friends and family. ❤️ I will keep in touch with all my clients as things progress but please contact me if you have any queries or need a fill in walker on a day that we can’t cover as I know some lovely walkers that would be able to help.

Happy Sunday. This is Dusty’s Brothers and Sisters aren’t they stunners 🖤 They met up yesterday but it was too far for us to travel so hopefully will meet up again next year. Can’t believe Dusty is one now!

Just a reminder that I sent you all my holiday dates, Rach is covering my main holiday so please let me know if you would like her to walk your doggies while I’m away so I can get them booked in. For clients that book in weekly please let me know the week before I go. Rachel can also be contacted directly while I’m away if you need to book a walk. Thank you.

Good Morning…… I Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
Just a update for all my clients. Unfortunately my house got burgled on Saturday night and my van my Sisters car and my friends car were all stolen. I was away but Andrew and Dusty were home and in bed at the time but are safe and well. All my clients keys are safe and I have them all in my possession.
So I temporarily don’t have a doggy van or any dog walking equipment. They didn’t take our VW camper ( I guess three cars were enough for them 🙄 ) so I’m going to be using that until I get sorted. I wanted to reassure you all that I am making it safe for the dogs to travel in with doggy seat belts and secured crates. If you aren’t at home when I’m doing my pick ups please can you leave your leads out for me to use until I can get round to replacing mine. Thank you, Parks and Sparks.

PS: Just a reminder to my Tuesday clients I’m not working tomorrow but back to it on Wednesday.

The “gift” that just keeps giving has finally caught up with me! So no walks this week and I’m isolating at home. I realise the last time I updated my grid was January 😱 so just looking through hundreds of pictures from the last few months of walks with the dog squads. We’ve had some great walks and all sorts of weather thrown at us 💨☀️🌦❄️ will do a few photo drops as have so many great pics to share.

There is a doggy bug doing the rounds at the moment which is causing D&V. Please let me know if your dog is showing any symptoms as I will be unable to group walk them until they are better. Most dogs are recovering well, food restricted for a while then reintroduce food on a bland diet of white rice and chicken or white fish or scrabbled eggs.
If you are concerned at all and your dog is not drinking or improving please contact your vets ASAP for advice.

🐶We have recently seen an increase in the number of dogs coming to us with gastroenteritis🐶
🌡Affected dogs have been suffering from some, or all, of the following signs: vomiting, diarrhoea, reduced appetite, lethargy.
🌡The majority of dogs have recovered well with symptomatic treatment, a small proportion of severe cases may require intravenous fluids and hospitalisation.
🌡The condition appears to be very contagious between dogs, it is therefore advised to keep affected dogs away from healthy dogs to prevent spread. There is no evidence that people should avoid walking their dogs if they are fit and well.
🌡If you are concerned your pet may be unwell then please contact your vet for advice.
