Over the weekend, me and my sister took Bennie to Haslam Park in the rain. The river that flows through the park had burst its banks! When we returned, we all were soaked 😂
Last week was a good week!
Nevaeh is getting good with her re-call and is progressing very well.
Harley and Ruby love their balls and sticks.
Homer is doing well on his lead. He still likes to be in charge and will let me know he wants to go in a different direction. But he is learning we go where I want to go as I'm in charge on the walks. Hes also learning how to behave around other dogs. Hes not aggressive, but as hes only young, he can be a little boisterous around other dogs as he becomes playful.
Ronnie is good around other dogs and will either sniff them, play with them, or ignore them. He loves playing with balls and sticks.
Millie, Libby, and Bobby love going out on their walks. Bobby usually forgets to remain calm when he sees another dog and starts trying to pull me to the other dog barking. So I always need to give him a gentle reminder to remain calm and not to bark. However, he is very friendly and just wants to play and say hello.
Well what a week last week! Dog sitting for Shaxx, dog walking Penny, Libby, Millie, Bobby, Barney, Ziggy and Ronnie.
More dog walks that ive been on with the dogs. I have also taken Ruby wild camping with me and been doing some dog sitting.
So Bennie has been on holidays to the beach! He loved going in the sea. At one point he had to be stopped by us (me and my sister) from going into the sea as he began to get cold.
I took Ruby wild camping with me. She thoroughly enjoyed it. When we got back she did not want to leave my car - bless her (partly because she couldn't keep her eyes open - she was very tired afterwards).
I have begun to take out a new dog called Homer. Hes young and lively. Hes still being trained on the lead not to pull and is responding well. Soon we may start recall training.
I have dog sat for an unusual dog called Hugo. Hes been fantastic. Hes unusual due to a disability he has - hes unable to use his back legs. However, he gets about perfectly fine and loves life to the fullest.
I am currently dog sitting for Shaxx whilst his owners are away.
And I have been walking the regulars as well. Nevaeh is doing really well. Shes 9 months old and already is getting the hang on recall.
Sorry for the lack of posts over the last month. I have been busy!
Ive been dog walking loads of dogs! Ive also been dog sitting Woody, Bruce, Penny and Pink.
If you do see me out and about with the dogs, please feel free to come say hi. Most of the dogs I currently walk are friendly with other dogs (except for Ziggi the boxer, so if you see me with him, please say hi at a safe distance away from Ziggi - he is people friendly, however).
Bennie getting some enrichment to keep him from feeling bored whilst he was on house rest from his injury.
Its easy when the dogs want to tire themselves out....
This is Nevaeh (about 6 months old) and Harley (about 2 years old) playing 'tag'
Well another busy week done and dusted. I have been dog walking the regulars - Ruby, Penny, Harley and Nevaeh. I have also been dog walking 3 new dogs - Martha, Ronni and Zigi.
I have also been dog sitting for my sister's dog Bennie. Just before I started dog sitting Bennie, he got injured. So I picked him up from the vets after getting stitches. Then I only took him out for 10-20 min walks to begin with. By the end of the week I started taking him out with the other dogs I walk (the quieter ones around dogs). You will be pleased to know his stitches have finally come out and hes now allowed off lead again 🥳
Please note, if you see me out with Bennie for the time being, put your dogs on a lead (vets orders). He can still say hi, but hes still not allowed any rough play yet. Although hes healing very well.
Well thats another busy week done. Been dog sitting for Rocco and Ollie, Woody, and, Pip and DJ. I have also walked, Harley, Ruby and Penny.

This week I have been busy dog sitting for Ollie and Rocco (still currently dog sitting until the end of next weekend).
I have also taken Ruby and Penny out for walks this week. Earlier today I met up with my sister and her dog Bennie when I was out with Rocco and Ollie.
Catch it if you can....
Been a busy week dog walking and dog sitting.
Ive walked the usual gang; Harley Ruby, Penny. I have also walked Rosie and Annabel.
I am currently dog sitting for Rocco and Ollie and last week I dog sat for Woody.
'Catch me if you can'
'game on'
Is this big enough?
So this week I've been busy walking the regulars, Oslo, Ruby, Harley, Nevaeh and Penny. I have also walked Rocco and Roxy. On one of the walks, I met up with my sister and Bennie.
This week I have got 2 new clients - Rosie and Annabel. So hopefully they will mix in with the regulars nicely.
Anyone a game of football?
Whilst ive been out and about dog walking, I noticed this big guy (see pic below). It's a comoret chick. Normally these birds are associated as a sea bird being found out at sea and on our shore lines.
Ive had a busy week. Last week I walked Ruby, Harley, Nevaeh, Rocco, Roxy, Penny and Oslo. Also I dog sat for Woody who has separation anxiety.
I have started to introduce Nevaeh to the other dogs I walk. She is doing great, learning how to walk in a small pack.
I am currently dog sitting for Rocco and Roxy whilst their owners are away on holiday.
So last week I took out Ruby, Penny and Harley. I even let Harley off his lead! Harley was really good and stayed with me. He came back when he was called.
This week I will be taking out 2 new dogs! Watch this space for the pictures of their walk.
I've had a busy month this month. I have dog walked Harley, Penny, Oslo and Neveah. I also have dog sat for Woody.
At the weekend I took Bennie out for a 10 mile hike around Langdale Valley!
I also joined Ruby on her walk up a few of the Lancashire Trig points.
This week I will be out and about with Penny, Harley and Ruby. I may even take 2 new dogs out this week!
Dont forget if you want to inquire about dog walking, or dog/pet sitting, please give me a message. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Last week was a successful week. I took out Bennie, Harley, Penny, Neveah and Oslo. I apologise for the blurry night photo of Bennie and Penny. I do not do many night hikes, so am still getting used to taking photos in the dark.
Last week was a great week! I took the regulars out walking- Oslo, Ruby and Penny. I also dog sat a 20 week old puppy - Bea. Bea went to Sunnyhurst woods and Witton Park where she met a few dogs and had a good explore of the area.

Stella enjoyed her walk this morning. As Stella is only a young pup, I only take her out for 30 - 40 mins as she is still developing. However, I did take her out again this evening for a play date.
