Today I did a house visit to the lovely Cocoa. I usually walk her, but as the weather is too hot for doggos (but not for me, I'm loving it!), I did a stay-and-play.

We had a brief gentle game of catch the ball, then I got some of her treats (she has allergies, bless her), and scattered them around the garden. She loved that! She spent ages sniffing around the garden trying to find them!

All in all, a lot of fun was had! 💜

It's that time of year again where we have to be very careful with the dogs in our care due to the heat. Heatstroke is terrifying in dogs, and it is something that I take very seriously.

So if I message you to say that I won't be able to take your beloved dog for a walk because of the heat, it is out of love and care for them. My customers' dogs are all awesome 💜

Amanda & Friends (formerly known as Porter's Pet Services) turns 8 years old today!

I set up my business on the 24th May 2017, and have never looked back. It is such a rewarding job, and I have met some amazing dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and even turkeys along the way.

It wasn't always easy. I took a short break of 2 months last year to pursue what I thought would be my dream job, but sadly that didn't work out. So I went back to what I love doing the most, looking after people's beloved pets, with a name change to Amanda & Friends to reflect my divorce and my new life.

So please raise a glass to Amanda & Friends! Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the past 8 years 💜

How has your Wednesday been?

Mine has been lovely. First, I went to give some medication to two gorgeous black and white cats, Molly and Mia. Then it was off to Swaton to walk two mischievous little Beagles called Bella and Olive, then to my lovely doggie friend Jake in Billingborough 💜

No dogs, cats or chickens booked in for me today, but I have had the pleasure of looking after Jessie, as my daughter and her Dad are having work done to their house. Its been a pleasure having her, as I don't see her every day like I used to. She has been an absolute pleasure, and has spent most of it asleep, or following me around the house.

Wanted to take some current photos of me with the lovely Jake, but he wouldn't oblige today, so here is one from last year for you all to appreciate!

Jake is a Sharpei cross, and he is a big hunk of gorgeousness! He's an all-round Good Boy, and loves meeting other dogs, and getting fuss from anyone who will oblige.

I love walking him, he just makes me smile 💜

EDIT: Just as I've posted this, I see he is back home. Thank goodness!

Missing Dog!

This has happened in Nassington, which isn't too far from us here in Bourne. Apparently, the little pup has been stolen while out with his dog walker.

Let's make him too hot to handle!

The state of my face! Got back to my car after walking Jake, looked in the mirror, and saw this red blotchy horror looking back at me! 😂
