Quick update for those interested in School News!
When you get greeted like this day in, day out, when you're so many dogs favourite auntie, when you see them light up when they see you - how could you ever hate your job??? 🤣
Before the flood. After the flood.
While it has been cleaned up already (reel posting soon), the damage to the walls and the electricals are worrying and will likely stand in the way to opening up any time soon.
As soon as I have any information there, I will let you all know.
We have some news....
We are officially up and running!!!
We got the licence on Thursday last week and after spending some extra time Thursday, Friday and this weekend touching up on some stuff, we are ready to go!!!!
I was planning on doing anyway much larger post announcing this and will still in future, but needed the news out ASAP so dogs can get booked in - starting this week!!
Message through if you want your dogs booked in -
- Wed afternon
- Thursday morning
- Fri afternoon
Only half days to start with and we can only take in ten dogs at a time at the moment - so spaces are limited!!!
If you are a regular walking client, also please inform me if you want me to swap their regular walks out for these days 😊
Gus' first time on the slatmill and he smashed it! This boy loves nothing more than to RUN, but like so many dogs, doesn't get the chance to just take the brakes off and go for it as often as he would like or need to. Slatmill let's him do just that. He's so clever, he learned not just how to walk, trot and RUN on it but also how to slow down and stop as he wished. Though he didn't really want to stop! You can see at the end, I've made it stop myself and he is trying hard to get it going again!
Slatmills can be a game changer for so many underfullfilled, under exercised or anxious dogs. I'm so excited that this will be a permanent feature at the new facility and Gus was the perfect dog to try it out there for the first time.
It's the little things that make me so proud of our pack puppies.
Pippin joined the pack late last year, and when I first met him, his owners told me he couldn't go up or down these stairs. They are a bit slippery, but absolutely doable for him, so it was more so a confidence issue than anything else. It was very clear to me he was lacking in confidence in a number of areas in his life, so confidence building is where I focused for him.
A couple weeks later, he was hopping up the stairs. A little shaky and unsteady, but he was doing it!
This was him today. No problems at all!
It was a normal walk… until the Bundamba fire crew needed help with their training exercise! Ralph, Tango, Frankie, Daisy, and Gigi got to have a nice cool off under the fire hose.
Just wait until the end.. classic Barbossa move 🤪
