Today we say goodbye to Kipp and Juno, we had a rather wet last walk, and a bit of posing on the trunk. We will miss them but they are both back very soon! 🥳🖤🤎🐾

Juno came with us to Amelie’s hockey match today, and she brought the good luck with her as the result was a fantastic one - Amelie’s team are at the top of their league!! She lapped up the attention and did a good job of being the “official greeter” at the gate 😆🥰🤎

I think manners are a good thing to reinforce wherever an opportunity arises. You just never know what’s around the corner, so waiting is always a good thing… we put this into practice this morning going over the bridge. Brilliant doggos doing what was asked of them 😇

My heart was literally singing on our walk this morning, it was just absolutely beautiful!!

It was like an English country scene, sheep grazing (thankfully in the very far distance 🤣) birds tweeting, a heron flying over, woodpeckers yattling, and 5 beautiful doggos to keep me company. Happy Saturday everyone 🐾🐾♥️

Brace yourself for this breaking news lovely people!!

Will believe it when I see it

Cooling mats at the ready 🙌🏼🤣🙄

Tara, Juno and Axel joined us for daycare and we set off in THE SUNSHINE for our walk. We went through fields, over stiles, along river banks…it was heaven, my idea of a perfect walk!! They’ve all had a blast and will be tired doggos tonight I’m sure 🥰🐾

Kipp, Juno, Tara, Axel, Nell, Scout 🐾🐾

So who has jumped up and sat behind me on a chair for an “armpit suprise” ?!

£1 a guess!! 😆

My Nell is 11 today!! This little dog has brought so much to my life 🥰 If it wasn’t for her I’d not met Suzanne and Acer, not got into Gundog training which led onto working her on a shoot, not met Vicki which led me to riding Myth 🤎🤍Nell had 2 litters… firstly 4 gorgeous pups then 8🥹😆, I’m still in touch with all of the fabulous owners. I’ve made so many friends through her, and this fabulous business is all because of her!! I truly owe her so much, it’s amazing how one little dog can literally change your life 🥰Happy 11th birthday Nell!! 🖤🐾🥳

Lovely Sunday morning walkies with 9 fabulous doggos .

We really needed some rain 🙄 we hadn’t had any for a while and Barney had begun to get worried the ponds may start to dry up 😆💦

2 weeks ago I lost a fantastic friend 😔 I’d not known Steve for very long, but isn’t it amazing when you meet someone, click straight away and they inject so much positivity into your life?!

Steve was amazing, always up for a challenge and having a go. He paddle boarded, ran, played bowls at national level walked to yoga class a couple of miles away twice a week, and all of this may not seem that impressive but Steve was registered severely visually impaired. He really did make the most of life and “being dealt some crap” (his words), he let nothing stand in his way. He was clever (retired scientist) bloody funny, he absolutely cracked me up. We were trying to find my car after Hastings 5 mile race which we’d run together, I couldn’t remember which floor I’d parked on 🤦🏻‍♀️ we walked round and round, up and down trying to find it, him hanging on to my arm for guidance as his stick was in my car, and he came out with “ #*&%ing hell darling, talk about the blind leading the blind “ 😆😆😆

We had been training together for Hastings Half Marathon, he wanted to raise money for the Guide Dogs as he’d very recently been approved to have a guide dog of his own which he was SO excited about. He’d asked if I’d look after him/her when he went away on bowls competitions 🐾🥰

I will still run Hastings Half which is 2 weeks away tomorrow 🥹 and Ive decided to take on sponsorship and do this for Steve, if anyone would like to sponsor me I’d be most most grateful, please follow the link below for my Just Giving page ♥️

Barney arrived for a sleepover so back out we went for walk no 2 😎 I say walk, but Barney swam more than he walked 🤣 never known a dog to love swimming as much as he does. Pics below of all of his water inspections 😆💦💦

The queue for my breakfast was loooong this morning… it’s only Alpen guys!! Imagine if it was a fry up?!
Mmmmm sausages … 😋😋

They are all trying to tell me they are poor starving dogs… the struggle is real being a spanner 🤦🏻‍♀️😆

If anyone needs a dog groomer, or nails clipped Tracie is so lovely and brilliant with the dogs, I can highly recommend her! Her salon is Bexhill based but she does home visits also for nail clipping 🐾🐾

We are all grateful 🙏
Also if you have any businesses that you would like to share pop your pages below and a bit about what you do.
Let's all support each other🌸🎉

I have started home visits now for nail clips. I travel as far as Eastbourne and within that radius.
I also do cat and dog TJ's Grooming Boutique Bexhill-on-sea Grooming.
I will try and support local at least once a month 🐾❤️

Such beautiful skies on our walk this morning!! The sun was shining and everything was lovely once again 😆 🐾🐾

A beautiful sunshiney walk this morning, Juno’s last before she heads home. We will certainly miss this gorgeous little face 🥰

Dickens and Nala are here for the day and Syd Springer has joined the party!! 🐾🥳

What a beautiful morning for a walk!! Cold, frosty and with SUNSHINE !!

02/03/2024

Quick evening skirmish as the sun actually made an appearance!!

01/03/2024

You know the saying “red sky in the morning “…… well, after the absolutely stunning red sky, beautiful sunrise and a lovely rainbow it didn’t give us much of a warning before the heavens opened on us 🫣 the smug feelings of catching the best part of the day were very swiftly blown away by the 45 mph winds, stinging sideways rain and hail 🤣 even the spanners looked thoroughly fed up and actually wanted to head home!! Still, they’re walked!!
Welcome to March!!! 😳😆🙄

📷 Sometimes you just don’t get the shot you want!! Suzanne had ideas of a beautiful atmospheric pond and sky shot, and someone 🙄🙋🏻‍♀️ got in the way… it’s “the bag of plenty” that really makes it though 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣💩

29/02/2024

On this morning’s walk, there were beautiful blue skies when we looked one way, and dark clouds with a rainbow the other way! This weather really is having a huge argument with itself right now 😆🥊
