🐢🐾🌈 Ending today with a heartfelt tribute to dear MULBERRY 🌈🐾❀️
I've delayed what to write for lovely Mulberry, who has sadly passed on... Sometimes a certain dog doesn't need to be in your life that long, to have an impact. Sweet Mulberry was such a dog: we shared quite a few ad hoc walks in all weathers: she always gave me such an excited welcome, despite not being that keen on rain, nor able to walk too far.🐾
You sweet soul Mulberry ... rest those legs now & dream of those tasty, steak treats I used to bring you! ❀️
Best thoughts continue to your family 🐢

β˜€οΈ As it's forecast to be the hottest day of the year so far, I feel like I'm in a battle against the heat, to keep your pets safe - but ... we're ready!β˜€οΈ So, it's:
🏑 Earlier walk, or visit instead, or a combo of shorter, shaded stroll, with visit.
🐾 Avoid hot surfaces, inc artificial grass.
πŸ’¦ Always offer fresh water.
πŸš— Visits likely to be shorter as less dog combos possible, to allow extra journey time, but everyone will be seen 🐾

🐢🐾🌈 In tribute to dear ILKA ❀️❀️❀️
I've pondered & wrestled with, too long, what on earth I can write that is good enough for lovely Ilka, who has sadly passed on. That, & the 1000 photos of her to choose; inc our first & last outings.
No words can truly convey the impact she has had, & I'd only known her for 1.5 years; I'm so pleased I got to know her.
Her owner only expected solo walks - but with her sweet nature, she quickly became part of the regular pooch posse - with an active social life including on her recent 16th birthday πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‚πŸŽˆ
You rest now Ilka - dreaming of even more treats, walks & your friends.
You are so hugely missed by us all ❀️
Best thoughts continue to your family 🐢

πŸΆπŸ’¦πŸ± Hoping for just some normal, dull British weather, not too hot/cold/wet(?) - as that's perfect for dogwalks. Yesterday by late morning, bare legs were better than failed waterproofs, & I was onto 2nd pairs of boots & socks πŸ’¦πŸ₯ΎπŸ’¦

🐢 UPDATE: 20 of the most vulnerable dogs were rescued ... Those at risk of being attacked & injured by others in desperation for food. Details to follow ...
----------------------------------------------------
🚨🐢🐾 You were wonderful last time I appealed for help with a life-saving rescue mission in December - so I'm appealing again: for help to save dogs tomorrow Mon 8 July. 🐢🐾🚨
This is a genuine appeal, no scam: call me on my business mobile 07488-392162 if any concerns.
My Monty dog, who many if you know, was literally saved from this hell-hole by this charity...
He was 'dog 25', no name, no hope, no food/water, nothing ...
Please see below re how you can help towards saving just 1 dog: I'm part-sponsoring via my business 🐢
So many need saving. Be grateful you don't have to choose who to save or not - I couldn't do it. The more funds raised the more will live: "For that one dog"❀️
------------------------------------------------
Race against time ...
Sometimes, words fail to capture the fear and agony we experience before each rescue mission. The weight of uncertainty presses down on us: Will we be able to help them all? How many lives can we save this time? It's a torment that no one endure.
As we stand on the brink of another rescue, we know that the need is overwhelming, that there are more dogs than we can save.
And yet, amidst this despair, there are the dogs. They stretch out their paws, their eyes pleading with us to save them. It's a silent cry for help, a desperate plea for a chance at life.
Please, join us in this battle against fear and uncertainty. Your support can make a difference, can give these dogs a chance they so desperately need.
Join us, and let's save as many lives as we can. Because every life saved is a victory against fear and a step towards hope.

On one of our sniffy walks we spotted this young hedgie, alone in the road gutter, breathing but with bad skin 😟

πŸš—πŸΎπŸš— A new week, new month - & it's Pet Travel Safety Day too.πŸš—πŸΎπŸš—
As a Pet Professional Network member, I get alerted of such events first hand, & can be in personal contact with the hosts, for queries & guidance for my clients. Many of your dogs travel daily in my car, but it's useful stuff for us all & to share (not just dogs, other pets too) πŸ±πŸš—πŸΆ

Pet Travel – Everything you need to know As a nation of animal lovers, we are certainly spending a lot more time (and money) on our beloved furry companions, but are we really doing everything we can to keep them safe as we travel? Regardless of whether it is a quick trip to the vets for a check-u...

UPDATE 11am Fri 28 June from Sue Leach:
Thankyou everyone who has donated. We are going to pull Skippy and Stripey Boy out of the pound. You’ve bought them some desperately needed time ❀️. I will update properly later x
----------------------------------------------
🚨🐢🐢 So, I was going to post up all about this week, with photos of my lovely canine clients - but it's superseded to try to save SKIPPY & STRIPEY BOY ....
These 2 dogs, Skippy (left) & Stripey Boy are in a UK pound - they are tragically due to be PTS tomorrow Fri 28 June ... 😭
Their 7 days in a pound has been extended to the limit.
Their ONLY chance left in time is to go into emergency boarding.
Will you join me in helping these 2 boys have a chance - until a suitable home is found for each?
See link below re how to donate...
More details in comments ... This is a legitimate cause & I've known Sue Leach via FB for years. Thanks in hope πŸ™

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸΆπŸ‡«πŸ‡· Rounding up a week of moving 80th anniversary events for the D-Day Normandy Landings, I thought I'd share below, which I ponder on when visiting, & this week feels the most apt of all ...
This memorial is near Tynemouth (aware not Belper, but I always visit when seeing my family on Tyneside) ...
It's to Trixie Fox - & especially this week, I've wondered:
Was she a French dog who found herself on the beaches? Was she a UK service dog, who got separated from her crew?
Who rescued her? And, in a likely split-second decision, scooped her up to change her path from probable death, to a happy life on Tyneside?
We will never know, but huge thanks to the kind soul who, in the midst of sheer hell, decided to rescue a dog too.
Thank you for giving her a happy life ❀️
If up on Tyneside, visit Trixie Fox's grave & others, fondly remembered, at the pet cemetery, Northumberland Park πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸΆπŸ‡«πŸ‡·
