The school holiday weather has certainly thrown us some curve balls, but today was just perfect! Annie, Teddy, Charlie, Sunny and Jagger love nothing more than their morning walk and run on the oval (and we only lost two balls today! 🙄). After a very active morning, the gang were all more than happy to pose for a pic.

🎆 Today is the Diamond Creek Town Fair. At the conclusion of the day there will be fireworks at 8pm tonight. If you have pets, please plan ahead and keep them safe. Fireworks are not fun for everyone. 🎇

We had such a fabulous day at the Hurstbridge Wattle Festival on Sunday. Our team was welcomed with open arms and we had so much fun. The weather was on our side too (until 4pm). So many wonderfully clever pups and so many proud fur parents. Harley the cattle dog took out first prize, Maple the beautiful black Labrador and retired Guide dog was second and the very cute Nacho the Kelpie took third position. Congratulations and a big thank you to everyone who gave the course a go and came to say hello. Thanks also to Flip and Will (hay bales are pretty heavy) and of course Cino, Lincoln and Muppet our Camp Paws pups. All so well behaved and soaked up all the pats.(Lincoln may have snaffled a rogue sausage too, but he's yet to confess!!).

🐾HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DOG DAY 🐾

Today is a special day dedicated to celebrating the incredible bond between humans and dogs. Our canine pals play such an important role in our lives and have a positive impact on our mental and physical well-being. So be sure to spoil your pups rotten with loads of cuddles, love, treats and walkies today.

Here's my gorgeous girl Annie. Her four favourite things in life are me, water, her tennis ball and mud (not sure I have them in the correct order!). 😂🦴💗 Looking forward to seeing your furry friends too!

Such great news. This opens the door to many anxious pups (and owners!) who previously couldn’t experience a holiday in Tassie together. Very cool!

The three musketeers! Poodle Cino, GSP Johnny and rescue pup and Queen of Camp Paws, Annie. Great buddies who love nothing more than our off track adventures with a ball. A home away from home (which may have included some roast chook topping for dinner tonight!). 🤣 🐓

We’ve had a lot of rain this week but that doesn’t stop the CP team! GR Ivy was excitedly waiting for her walk yesterday, so despite the inclement weather we pounded the neighbourhood and she loved every minute! Not just as keen on the towel down once home though! 🤣

19/07/2024

Look at this glorious golden quartet! Last week we had the pleasure of caring for Roxy, Arlo and Jamie the golden Labradors and the beautiful Daisy the GR! All four kept Will and I on our toes, but not as much as the vacuum!! 🤣💜🐾

Bob and his Sister Margaret are super special pups and regulars at Camp Paws. Last week, as well as their walk they had a road trip with Carer Ben to visit his Pa who lives in a nursing home. Alfie is 94 years young and loved his surprise furry visitors. Bob who is a Bichon x Toy Poodle, loves nothing more than cuddles so it was a match made in heaven!!

Midway through the Winter school holidays and it’s been a massive weekend! The sun today was gratefully received and Pancho, Rodman, Cino and Robbie loved every minute whilst hanging out together at Carer Flips! The fire pit got a work out, as did the tennis balls!!
