Mell's Dog Minding

Mell's Dog Minding In home care for a small number of small breed dogs. Caring for your dog, is what I care about. A few nights training for the greater good, is recommended.
(12)

Growing up in Nthn NSW & Sthn Qld, my Mother bred & exhibited pedigree dogs. I also did what was normal in that sort of household, going through child & junior handlers & assist my Mum in the show ring. Learning a lot about dogs, their nature, and handling them during my formative years, I am now putting that to use minding dogs for others. I work P/T as a Receptionist at a Sports Medicine Centre

, and as our last dog has crossed the rainbow bridge a few years back, for the passed 7 yrs have been balancing my work & minding doggies. I generally have up to 4 - 5 social doggies stay at the one time, but in busy periods will push it to 6, but never more than this. I find that there is enough space in our small home for everyone to find their own safe space or to run amok with a new found friend. Please remember your dog is coming into my home, to be cared for with love, but it is still my home. Your dog should be toilet trained, which means they let us know if they need to go out if doors are shut in colder weather, though we do have a doggie door. It is preferable, that dogs that sleep on beds are moved into the laundry 2 weeks prior to their stay. Scratching at doors, barking through the night, because it keeps you awake, well this will keep my family awake also. Your dog is coming to an environment were other dogs will be, so vaccinations must be current, and should be clean & flea free. Dogs that have bad body odour & are found to have fleas will be bathed & treated at an extra expense to the owner. As with any normal family, we have comings & goings - to work, school p/up, sports etc just like your family. If you make an arrangement to drop off or collect your dog, I do appreciate punctuality, so we can all continue with our day in a timely manner.

With Ziggy our walks are not quiet... well not for the first 1/2 of the walk. About the 1/2 way mark is when she finally quietens down, and she stops drawing attention to us all.

Photo just to grab your attention. Have just had a cancellation for this Thursday if anyone needs daycare.

Late afternoon & we ventured down the backyard.
The wind is blowing as much as I am blowing my nose. Hay Fever is hitting an all time high, & no medication is working. I blame Lliam, after my pregnancy my immune system took a hit, never had hay fever 'til I had him. The gift that keeps on giving. 🙄🤧🤧
