A little Pawstead Care update! 🐾💚
Woah, its been a while hasn't it! 🤯 I can’t believe it’s already August! Our last update was at the beginning of July, and it’s been another incredibly busy few weeks filled with wagging tails, cuddles, and lots of happy memories.
First of all… if you’ve noticed there haven’t been many photos recently, I promise there’s a reason! 😂 My phone storage has officially given up on me, so I’ve had to be really selective with the photos I’ve taken. I’ll be sorting that out soon because I know everyone loves seeing their pups on their adventures!
July was also a special month for me as I celebrated my birthday on 20th July. Thank you so much to everyone who sent birthday messages, cards, even presents and wishes, it really made my day. 💚
As always, here’s a little update on some of our wonderful Pawstead family…
🐺 Axel & Meira have continued to keep me on my toes with their energy and big personalities. They never fail to put a smile on my face, and every walk with them is an adventure! Wilson, our favourite grumpy Shar-Pei, is still as wonderfully stubborn as ever, and I wouldn’t have him any other way. He has gotten better since, but I don't think his growling greeting will ever go away. Toby has made me so proud. Since changing from walks to drop-in visits, his confidence has grown so much. When we first met, everything was a little scary, but now he actually leads me out of the front door! We still have a journey to go with him but it is lovely watching him grow. Watching that confidence build has been one of my favourite parts of the year. Cooper definitely isn’t the tiny puppy we first met anymore! He’s growing into such a handsome boy, although he’s still got plenty of puppy energy and keeps me laughing every visit and walk. Zak, our number one regular, has been his usual amazing self. It’s always a pleasure spending time with him, and I don’t think he’d forgive me if I didn’t give him a special mention! Clara & Collin have continued being absolute joys to spend time with. Whether we’re out on a walk or having a swim in the pond, they always brighten my day. We’ve also sadly said goodbye to Bella and Millie.
August is also quite a big month for me! I am going away towards the middle of the month, as a little treat that I will say is for my birthday (None other than camping at a festival for a few days 😉). I also have my driving test. Hopefully I will pass! (Although lets keep our hopes low as I don't believe in miracles 😆)
Finally, I have some really exciting news… 🎉
Pawstead Care is potentially growing!
I’m currently looking into bringing somebody onto the team. Nothing is confirmed just yet, but if everything goes to plan, this means more availability for new clients, more flexibility, and hopefully far fewer cancelled walks whenever I’m away or even feeling unwell. (Although for the past 8 months I haven't actually had a sick day!!!) It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while, and I’m so excited to see where this next chapter takes Pawstead Care. I will still of course oversee everything and make sure walks are done to a high standard. Like I said, nothing is confirmed and will only be so if the person passes a trial period.
Thank you so much to every single person who continues to support my little business. Whether you’ve booked with me, recommended me to a friend, liked a post, or simply followed along, it genuinely means the world. Watching Pawstead Care continue to grow has been so rewarding, and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings. 🐾💚
