Just a reminder to all of our customers that we do not walk dogs above 24°c.
Although it may feel like it's cooler this morning we always stick to our rules.

The humidity levels can cause just as much worry as the high temps for the dogs so we will do everything we can to keep them safe.

Please understand it's not because we don't want to walk them, Trust me WE DO !! We have had enough of this crazy weather just like the dogs have 🤣

Fingers crossed for some cooler temps coming our way 🤞

Thanks for understanding,

So after a long month of worrying and keeping it together I finally got the results today.

I can happily say it's not the big C !!!! 😁😁😁😁

Thankfully I have been diagnosed with Fibroadenoma. Which explains the pain I have across my chest and armpits and I can happily live with it and monitor it with my GP. It may lead to surgery if it gets too large but overall it's such fantastic news and myself and my family are over the moon.

However I am still keeping to my decision of slowing down (But never giving up) as it's certainly been that wake up call to be home more with my family.

Thank you all once again for all your kind words and support over the last month. I can finally relax a bit more and get my head back in the game !

Couldn't have come at a better time with my birthday tomorrow and a few days off. Double celebrations are certainly in order this weekend 🥂

Enjoy the sunshine all 🌞🌞🌞

So as most of you are aware I have been waiting to have some tests,
These were done on Wednesday.

After finding a lump it was nothing I had ever experienced before and it's been a scary few weeks.

Wednesday involved a mammogram along with an ultrasound after finding a dark spot on my right breast, They had to do a biopsy to take a few samples for further testing.

Now we are all very hopeful that it will not be the Big C but they couldn't rule it out, so the waiting game continues.

The reason for this update is to thank all of you for your kindness and patience throughout the last few weeks.

It is also to let you know that whatever the outcome it's been the sign I've needed to really slow down and be home more with my family, which I fully intend to do!

I hope you all can understand that I won't be the "Yes" lady anymore, this doesn't mean I won't be around because nothing will stop me being with the dogs ! It just means that I will have to say no when I need to take time off and I will be on a strict limit of Overnight stays per month too.

I've heard the words
"Stress" "Exhaustion" "Overdoing it" multiple times from my GP over the last month's as my health isn't what it used to be and this is what I'm hoping the reasoning is behind all of it so it's time for taking better care of myself.

This isn't the end by no means, I will not stop, it's just a recharge and let's go from there

Thank you all. 🩷🩷

DO NOT DO IT !!!!!

21/06/2026

As the temps are expected to be high for the coming week we want to remind all our customers that we DO NOT walk dogs above 24°c, The elderly and flat nosed breeds we will not walk above 22°c.

We will continually check the temps during the day to advise you all when we will only be offering home visits with no walks.

Please message us to let us know via your group chats if you would like to cancel or swap to home visits next week as we will not budge on our rules.

If you decide you will not need home visits we can cancel and refund for you on your next invoice.

Let's keep our dogs safe next week as their well being is our top most priority 💙🐾🍌

Our overnights schedule will be changing.....

We only have November dates available this year we are FULLY BOOKED the rest of the year.

From 2027 we will no longer offer back to back stays with the team. Meaning our Overnight staff will only offer limited dates per month to allow us to have time off at home in-between.

These will be booked quickly so we advise you to get booked in ASAP as we already have bookings for next year.

This will be a first come first served basis. After nearly 2 years of back to back stays we have to start getting a better balance for the team and their home and family life.

Hope you can all understand.

Thanks all
Amy 🍌🌞
