Outings with our own boys over the hols šŸŽ„

Foggy Killylane on Boxing Day, Larne promenade (one day was lovely and another it wouldā€™ve blown the head off you), Prom cafĆ© for veggie fry and a trip to the pub where they both had a big sleep šŸ’™

What a busy year 2024 has beenšŸ˜

Lucy got her driving test & a car so she could expand her cat sitting home service

Lucy also finished her Animal Management Extended Diploma with Distinction Star ā­ļø

We got Benny šŸ¶(who will be 6 months old tomorrow) from a rescue after his mummy was dumped pregnant.

We welcomed a few new doggies and many repeat guests. Your dogs are part of our family and our customers are now friends ā¤ļø

Thankyou all for the love & support and for letting us share in the love, care & lives of your furbabies šŸ¶

Grateful for those that like & comment on our posts. We donā€™t advertise but so grateful for all the tags it means a lot šŸ„°. Lots of love to fellow pet business owners that are now friends (must actually find the time to meet for that coffee!)

Hereā€™s to another busy year. We look forward to welcoming your babies, walking them & house visits. We are practically fully booked for 2025 and some dates in 2026.

We wish you, your family & furfamily health & happiness for the year ahead šŸ„°

Mistletoe can cause vomiting & diarrhoea in dogs so keep it out of reach.

Luckily Milo doesnā€™t need an excuse to give me kisses šŸ’‹šŸ’‹

Hope Mummy likes his wee surprise bow šŸ’™

Super cute boy definitely on Santaā€™s nice list

Rula was here for her holibops last week. Needless to say she didnā€™t need any settling in as this is her 2nd home ā¤ļø

Benny just loves Rula as sheā€™s always up for stick or ball play. Heā€™s like her naughty little brother.

She went home to her own house late Friday night for a rest (from Benny!) but was back today for a few hours.

Benny was soooo excited to see her after 1 day apart. Iā€™m donā€™t think Rula shared his excitement šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Benny learning from the stick expert Rula

My hands are like ice Iā€™m just glad Iā€™m not throwing it for once šŸ„¶

Wrap up warm thatā€™s a cold one today

Thankyou Leo for my lovely pressies and Lisa for saying the Prosecco was for the Strictly final and not to be kept for Christmas šŸ˜

Benji was booked for a check-in but I kidnapped him for a few hours as I hadnā€™t had a cuddle for ages šŸ„°

Benny took over Teddyā€™s new bed! Poor Teddy

I was so happy that Chris won. Well deserved and such an inspiration. The dogs all slept through it and didnā€™t share my enthusiasm!

Next upā€¦the girls

Winnie ā€˜up to snow goodā€™. Thatā€™s a bluff. Sheā€™s a wee gem. Winnie was here last Saturday too while her mummy was putting on an incredible show and has another one today. Winnie knows that a walk now means blankies, cuddles and the fire later to watch Strictly final. Look at that face. Not impressed šŸ˜‚ would rather be snuggling than walking šŸ„°

Welcome new home boarder Waffle who is here for the night as a practice run for her holibops in May. Her family are shopping til they drop today and having a family meal tomorrow. Lots & lots of sniffing

Our first Beagle ā¤ļø

Milo was booked in for a walk - he was also kidnapped!

Went straight to the stairgate to get up to Lucyā€™s room where he had cuddles on her bed while I was walking Bobby & Sully

Then it was Milo, Benny & Teddyā€™s turn. Benny thinks Milo is his big bro. What a great big bro he is. Joined at the hip these 2. Milo really looks out for Benny itā€™s so sweet šŸ„°

Not so busy today so instead of Bobbyā€™s walk I kidnapped him for a while (got his walk as well). Bobby is used to walking in the park so itā€™s good The Pawsitive Place it up every now & again with heavy traffic to keep him used to noise & commotion.

He loves a good chase as does Benny which he canā€™t get in the park.

Action shots of playtime with Benny at The Pawsitive Place HQ. Living his best life šŸ’™

Check-in for Ivy and I got a super cute photo but by the next one I was getting the side-eye look as she was fed up waiting for her treat šŸ¤£

Poor Teddy was a laughing stock when our dry & clean afternoon day care buddies arrived and saw him in his dressing gown šŸ™ˆ

This weekend we had little rescue Elsie. Elsie is a pug cross, only 15 weeks old. Cutie patootie ā¤ļø

She was found on the streets in Belfast at 8 weeks old šŸ„ŗ, was in foster care and now adopted by her lovely furever family who were away on a trip planned long before her arrival.

Not many pics as Elsie & Benny didnā€™t stop long enough all weekend to get a decent pic šŸ¤£

Rascals the pair of them. So funny to watch

Quiet day hereā€¦.well a ā€œnormal Sundayā€ for most people but a novelty for me having 1/2 a day off and although I love all the visiting dogs, I have really enjoyed a couple of hours off. This job really is 24/7 and it is tough!!

We had a 10 night cancellationā€¦.well it wasnā€™t exactly cancelled! When I sent a reminder last week I was told plans had changed. But I hadnā€™t been told šŸ˜¢

Please, please if your plans change let me know!
It only takes 10 seconds to send me a message saying not required any longer. I gave up my job to care for your dogs 24/7. Iā€™m also a single mum. Iā€™ve a mortgage and house to pay on my own. Not sending me a text to cancel means I have 10 nights of no income!!

How would you feel if you went into work and your boss said to go home that you werenā€™t needed for 10 days but they forgot to tell you and you also werenā€™t getting paid for 10 days?

Not only a huge loss of income for me but so many deserving little pups and families have been turned away for months.

On a positive - Wilson was booked in for a check-in visit at lunchtime on Thursday and last minute plans changed and I was able to take him for an overnight instead šŸ’™

Also had a last minute request for a 15 week old puppy that the owners had just got (earlier than expected but they had a weekend Santa experience booked and couldnā€™t let the kids down). This wee pup was just adopted after being in foster care since she found abandoned at 8 weeks old. So it was great to have the availability to be able to have her stay last minute.

Post to follow as little Elsie deserves her own special post šŸ„°

Today after wee Elsie went home I had free time for the first time in a long time so I went out for lunch with my eldest, which was lovely as we donā€™t get to spend much time together šŸ„°

Then I walked my own 2 boys down to meet Lucy at work (with their matching coats šŸ’™) and now snuggled on the sofa catching up on 3 x Iā€™m a Celebrity.

Next few nights Iā€™ll try do some Christmas shopping and maybe even get the decorations out šŸ™ˆ
