Every once in a while a dog enters your life and awakens you to a new understanding. They leave pawprints on your heart and you are never ever the same.
Happy 15th birthday our special girl 💝

Good morning from the other side of the world :)
Our fur babies arrived safely on Thursday and they are slowly getting used to the new smells and their new home.
🐈🐕 Shelby, Demi, Tori & Olly 🐕🐈

I completely forgot to say thank you for all your warm wishes and kind words before we departed 🩷 It was a hectic few days before we left.

I have some big news to share!

We have made the decision to move back to Slovenia. We hadn’t expected it to happen this year but our Shelby is fit to fly at 14½ and we need to leave asap.
This hasn't been an easy decision to come to but we have to follow our hearts. I’m sad to leave behind all my furry, feathered and scaly friends and my clients that have been so special to me.
But I am excited for the opportunities that wait for me and spend more time with my Mum.

Thank you once again for supporting my little business venture. I am forever grateful! 🩷

So many lost pets without up-to-date microchip details. Why don’t you check your pet's details right now? It’s free.

The Pet Address search engine allows you to search for the microchip number of a pet in various animal databases.

Simply type the microchip number in the search field; then click to search. If your number is found in one of the databases you will be directed to the database for further information.
If your beloved pet is microchipped it is imperative your contact details are kept current with the microchip database.

If your pet is lost or injured the chances of it being found and scanned for a microchip are extremely high. However, if your details are not up to date there will be no way for you to know someone has your pet.

If you don’t know your pets microchip number contact your veterinarian, council or animal welfare shelter who can scan your pet and supply you with the microchip number.

Simply type the microchip number in the search field; then click to search. If your number is found in one of the databases you will be directed to the database for further information.

Ollie needed a few walks while his Dad was recovering from hip replacement surgery.

Little Benji was only 6 months old when his parents went on holiday. He was staying with his grandparents but they couldn't walk him very far. They called Aunty Neva to walk him every day for almost a month. We had so much fun exploring the parks and reserves nearby. The once shy little dog has conquered his fears around new people and situations. 💙🩵

My job is so awesome but then there are the times like Saturday when the tears flow.
There is one portion I don't think I will ever like or get used to - when a pet gets really sick and passes in my care.

Roxy was out doing her favourite morning walk last Saturday when she collapsed. She was so weak and couldn't lift her head. I called my hubby and we rushed her to the Pet Emergency at North Lakes. They tried to resuscitate her but couldn't bring her back.
They brought Roxy to a farewell room decorated with candles and flowers. Her family couldn't be there so we said final goodbyes to her and telling her how much she was loved.

Run free Roxy 🌈 you will never be forgotten 💞💔

Happy 14th birthday to my soul dog, Shelby.
You have brought so much joy to my heart. I couldn't imagine a world without you 🩷❤️

Overnight stays + extra lunch visits for Harry & Samson 🩵🐕🐕🩵
I had the pleasure of taking care of these two beautiful & cheeky senior boys in September. I love to care for older pets, keeping them comfortable and happy. There is nothing like the sweet gentle soul of an old dog / cat.

Samson crossed the rainbow bridge in February. I'm sure he's looking down on us from his heavenly sandpit 🌈❤️

2 visits per day for these two gorgeous boys, Lachie & Luda 🩵💙

Buddy 🩵& Lexie 🩷 were my grooming clients for years. When their pawrents went away, they booked 2 visits per day so their precious pups won't be too lonely. :)
We had so much fun playing, learning new tricks, and cooling down with ice blocks 🐕🐕🍦

After they lost their beloved Stella, my clients decided to join a foster program. Maple was in their care since September last year and has been adopted in January.
We went on a few adventure walks together.

What mental stimulation can you provide for your dog? Below are some ideas but try to mix it up too – doing the same activity day after day lowers its value. When presenting a new challenge or food toy to your dog, start easy. Let them see you scatter the food, have the food in a ball easily drop out etc. Then, slowly increase difficulty.

Play lots of sniffing and treasure hunt games. These are calming and relaxing – remember that 10 minutes of sniffing games is worth 50 minutes of exercise.

I use my recycling box to make fun and free food puzzles for the dogs. A few treats in a pasta box, maybe some scrunched up paper with a treat in it inside a box, a few treats in an empty egg carton, the list is endless. You can make them very tricky – box within a box within a box! Even hide them around the garden or house for them to find.

Also snuffle mats, licki mats, towel hide, activity toys (puzzles and treat dispensing toys)...

Try different activities to find what suits your dog. Remember to always check safety and supervise at first.

Eddie is a 12 months old Groodle who joined me last year in September.
He loves going for a walk, he definitely turns heads with his fluffy appearance and when he decides he doesn't want to walk anymore, he flops on his back 😂💗

01/02/2023

A severe heatwave warning has been issued for large parts of Queensland so I'm going to cancel all walks for tomorrow and Friday. It's not safe and I don't want any dog to suffer from heatstroke.
I'm happy to do the enrichment visit instead. 🥵🌡🔥
