🚨 JO & CO FLEET UPDATE… WE’VE BOUGHT ANOTHER VAN 🚨

Because apparently owning one temperamental van wasn’t stressful enough. 😂

Mercy, despite being called Mercy, has decided to show me absolutely fu***ng none.

Current list of things she’s decided she no longer fancies doing:

❌ Aircon — still doesn’t work. Obviously.
❌ Passenger window — doesn’t go down AT ALL.
❌ Driver’s window — now has free will. I press the button, we argue for a bit, and eventually SHE decides whether she’s opening and, more importantly, HOW MUCH she’s opening. Closes perfectly fine though, just to prove she can. Bell end.
❌ Front right indicator — not working. And before anyone says “probably just the bulb”… NOPE. Because that would be far too simple and inexpensive for Mercy.

So before I actually lose my s**t and boot Mercy directly into the scrapyard, we’ve decided she needs some time off for a full reboot, repair and attitude adjustment.

Which means…

🥁🥁🥁

EVERYONE WELCOME OLGA! 🚐🎉

Olga is our new back-up van!

Now, there is one tiny detail worth mentioning…

Olga is a Peugeot.

My mechanic has previously specifically told me NOT TO BUY A PEUGEOT.

So naturally…

I bought a Peugeot. 😂

Because firstly, listening to sensible professional advice is boring.

Secondly, it does absolutely NOTHING for the ongoing storyline of my chaotic life.

And thirdly, when you really think about it, it would actually be quite selfish of me to listen to my mechanic.

The man has a business to run. Bills to pay. Possibly a family to feed.

I’m basically supporting a local business. ❤️

You’re welcome, mate. 😂

Anyway, the theory behind having two vans is that when Mercy inevitably wakes up and chooses violence, I can simply swap vans instead of attempting to squeeze approximately 1,000 dogs into a Ford Fiesta again.

Does this guarantee the Fiesta will never be called into service again?

Absolutely fu***ng not.

Especially considering I’ve just bought a van my mechanic specifically told me not to buy.

✨ Foreshadowing ✨

So welcome to Jo & Co, Olga. ❤️

Please behave.

I’m begging you.

I cannot emotionally or financially cope with another van developing a personality disorder.

Mercy 🤝 Olga
One works while the other one is having a breakdown.

Basically the same staffing system we use for me and John. 🤣

🌈 Sleep tight, Asphalt 🖤

Sadly, we found out that Asphalt was put to sleep on Saturday. 💔

We only knew this gorgeous boy for a short time, but that doesn’t make hearing the news any less sad. In the little time we had with him, he made such an impression — a big, gentle, drooly boy who was far too young to be saying goodbye. 🥺

One of the hardest parts of this job is that you get attached to them, whether you’ve known them for years or only had the privilege of knowing them for a little while.

We’re so glad we got the chance to meet you and have you as part of the Jo & Co gang, even if it was nowhere near long enough.

Thinking of his family at such an awful time. ❤️

Sleep tight, Asphalt. 🌈🐾
You really were a lovely boy. 🖤

I told them I'm not working Monday, I can't work out if they are happy or sad about it 🤣👀

📱 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: JO HAS ACQUIRED A PERSONAL PHONE 📱

After nearly 5 years of dog walking, I have finally made the groundbreaking discovery that apparently I don’t have to be contactable for work 24 hours a day.

Who knew?! Not me, apparently. 🤣

At the moment I’m really struggling to ever properly switch off from work because my work phone is always there. A message comes through at 9:47pm and my stupid little brain goes:

👀 “I’ll just quickly reply to that…”

NO JO. YOU ARE CLOSED. GO AWAY. 😂

So I’ve bought myself a personal phone and we are introducing something very exciting at Jo & Co called ✨ BOUNDARIES ✨

From 7pm every evening, my work phone will be going on charge and I will be pretending it doesn’t exist.

I’ll have one quick look before bed purely to check nobody has messaged saying “BTW Fido isn’t coming tomorrow” because I’d rather find that out before I’m parked outside your house at 7am questioning all of my life choices. 🤣

Other than that, messages will be answered the following day.

I appreciate this might not always be ideal if you want a last-minute booking/change, but considering I start work at around 6:30am, I’m giving everyone approximately 12½ HOURS A DAY to remember they own a dog and may require my services. 😂😂

🏒 WEEKENDS ARE GETTING BOUNDARIES TOO.

If I’m at hockey, the work phone is staying AT HOME.

Not in my pocket.
Not in the car.
Not “just in case”.
HOME. 🏠😂

So the more organised you can be with weekend requests, the better, because there’s a very real possibility I’ll be 100 miles away screaming at men on ice while your message sits peacefully on my kitchen side. 🏒🤣

Obviously I’m still me, so if I’m home and happen to look at the phone I’ll probably reply because apparently personal growth has limits.

But I’m going to TRY to stop treating every WhatsApp notification like an emergency requiring immediate attention.

So from now on:

🐶 6:30am – 7pm: Jo & Co Jo. Dogs. Walks. Bookings. Chaos.
📵 After 7pm: Civilian Jo. Off duty. Probably reading something inappropriate.
🏒 Hockey weekends: Good luck contacting me, I have priorities.

Thank you for understanding and supporting my latest attempt at achieving something resembling a work/life balance. 😂❤️🐾

🐾🎉 UPCOMING JO & CO FUN DAYS! 🎉🐾

Right, time to get some more doggy days out in the diary! 👀🐶

We’ve got THREE coming up over September & October 👇

🌳 FUN DAY – Saturday 26th September
Morning ➡️ Outdoor Adventure Park 🐕🌳
Afternoon ➡️ Indoor Soft Play 🎾🤪
💰 £30 per dog

Basically a full day of running around, causing chaos and hopefully coming home absolutely knackered. 😂

🏊‍♀️ SWIMMING DAY – Saturday 17th October
Morning ➡️ Swimming Pool 🏊🐶
Afternoon ➡️ Depending on the weather, we'll either head to a secure field or an indoor venue 🌧️☀️
💰 £40 per dog

Perfect for the water babies… and the ones who spend half the session looking personally offended that we put them in a swimming pool. 😂

🎃👻 HALLOWEEN FUN DAY – Saturday 31st October 👻🎃
Morning ➡️ Indoor/ Outdoor adventures (depending on the weather) 🐾
Afternoon ➡️ Soft Play 🎾
💰 £30 per dog

And obviously because it's Halloween…

👻 Fancy dress is encouraged!
🏆 Prize for the BEST DRESSED DOG
🎁 Goodie bags for EVERY dog!

I am fully expecting some ridiculous costumes and I WILL be judging the humans if you've made absolutely no effort. 😂🎃

As always, spaces are limited on all three days, so message me if you'd like your dog booked in! ❤️🐾

Now I just need to convince Leela that she's participating rather than supervising everyone from a throne… 👑😂

🏒 ICE HOCKEY IS BACK! 🏒

Which means my weekend availability for walks is about to become a lot less available 😂

I'm not going to post the full hockey schedule because games change, things get moved around, and I might not go to every single game... just, you know, most of them 👀🤣

So basically, if you ask me for a weekend walk over the next few months, just be emotionally prepared for the answer to be no 😂

It doesn't help that I apparently decided supporting a team 100 miles away was a sensible hobby. Long story 🤣 So there's roughly TWO HOURS of travelling before we've even got to the bit where people start throwing themselves into walls over a puck.

Boarding won't be affected though! 🙌

John thinks ice hockey is boring unless it's in America 🇺🇸 — although personally I think that's just his way of making sure he keeps getting invited on the America holidays 👀🤣

He also regularly questions why on earth I chose to support a hockey team 100 miles away...

But do I question why a Wiganer supports Liverpool?

No.

Because I'm respectful like that. 😂😂

Anyway, long post short: HOCKEY'S BACK NEXT WEEKEND! 🏒❤️🤍

So I won't be doing walks every weekend for a while, but I'll still work weekends as and when I can around games.

Normal weekday chaos continues as usual 🐶😂

📣 BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY – WE'RE OFF! 🐾

Just a little heads up that Jo & Co will be CLOSED on Bank Holiday Monday, 31st August. 🎉

I've worked pretty much all summer, and quite frankly I would like ONE morning where my alarm doesn't go off before 7am. 🤣🙈

Also, in the interest of complete transparency, I'm going to a pub quiz on Sunday night and I'd quite like the freedom to have a slight hangover on Monday morning without having to get up at stupid o'clock and collect dogs. 😂🍻

So Monday is officially a lie-in, recover from my questionable pub quiz decisions and do absolutely nothing productive morning.

🐶 BOARDERS – DON'T PANIC!
Anyone boarding with us over the weekend won't be affected. We will still be heading out and doing something with the dogs at some point during the day... it'll just be when I've recovered, dragged myself out of bed and I'm ready to face the world. 🤣

After working all summer, I think I've earned one lazy Bank Holiday morning. 😂❤️

Normal chaos resumes Tuesday! 🐾

🚨 UPDATE FROM MANAGEMENT 🚨

Right, I’ve had enough.

I’ve been in charge for ONE DAY and quite frankly Mummy’s working hours are ridiculous. Who approved this?! 😒

I’ve supervised the staff, delegated the jobs, thrown a few balls, distributed an appropriate amount of treats (Mummy says “too many”, but she’s currently suspended from management so her opinion is irrelevant) and now I would like to clock off.

Unfortunately, there are STILL dogs here.

Personally, I think they’re all intelligent enough to find their own way home. Some of them have been coming here for years — surely they know the route by now?!

I’ve opened Google Maps for the less gifted ones.

So if everyone could please collect their belongings, form an orderly queue and start walking home, that would be fantastic.

Because I’m tired.

Mummy’s days are FAR too long, being the boss is exhausting and I have a very important meeting scheduled with my bed.

It’s called a nap.

Effective immediately, Jo & Co will now be closing at approximately whenever Leela gets bored.

Thank you for your understanding.

Leela 👑
CEO of Jo & Co
Former Hard-Working Businesswoman
Currently Unavailable Due to Nap 💤

P.S. If your dog doesn’t make it home, maybe try shaking the treat bag outside. I’ve done all I can.

Apparently whilst I’m in charge today, I’ve discovered Mummy has been running Jo & Co VERY poorly. 🙄

Her entire business model seems to be:

🐾 Pick dogs up
🎾 Throw ball
🦴 Give treats
💩 Pick up poo
🚐 Take dogs home

And she calls this a JOB?! Embarrassing.

So as the new CEO, I’ve made a few changes. Everyone has now been assigned proper employment.

🧺 Some of you are on laundry duty.
💻 Someone needs to answer Mummy’s messages because she certainly doesn’t.
📸 Someone can finally sort through the 700,000 photos she’s six months behind uploading.
🧾 The clever-looking ones are doing the accounts and taxes.
💩 One unfortunate employee has been appointed Head of Poo Collection.
🧹 The rest of you can clean the van, wash the bedding and generally make yourselves useful.

Daisy has applied for several positions but unfortunately has no qualifications and keeps chasing the laser pen during interviews.

Meanwhile, I’ll be supervising from my throne.

Obviously.

Mummy keeps saying “they’re dogs, Leela” but that sounds suspiciously like an excuse for poor staff management.

Productivity is already up 400%.

Treat expenditure has also increased 900%, but as CEO I will not be taking questions on that matter.

Regards,
Leela 👑
CEO of Jo & Co
Mummy’s Boss
Head of Treat Distribution
Employee of the Month (every month)

P.S. Mummy’s currently on a performance improvement plan. 🐾

🎂 IT'S MY MUMMY'S BIRTHDAY! 🎂

Hello everypawdy, Leela here 🐾

Since it's my mummy's birthday today, I thinks it's only fair that I takes over Jo & Co for the day and gives mummy a well-deserved day off. She's very old now and needs to rest her feets. 👵🏻🤣

So mummy can puts her feets up, relax and do absolutely nothings while I run the business.

I'll be picking up all your dogs 🚐
I'll be doing all the walks 🐕
I'll be answering the messages 📱
I'll be keeping everypawdy under control 😇
And most importantly, I'll be making sure Daddy knows that I'm the boss now.

Please be ready for collection. I can't actually drive the van, but I has seen mummy do it loads of times so I'm pretty confident I've got the general idea. 🚐💨👀

Daisy has offered to help, but I've declined her application on the grounds that she's an idiot.

Any complaints can be submitted directly to me and will be ignored.

Happy Birthday Mummy ❤️🎂

Love,
Leela — Temporary CEO of Jo & Co Pet Care 🐾

P.S. Mummy says she's still working today. I says absolutely fu***ng not. It's my company now.
