From week 1 to week 6. It’s been an absolute pleasure watching these beautiful puppies blossom, with their lovely guardian’s! Eevee, Lily, Bert, Edie and Peri 🥰🥰

Last night was an emotional graduation for me. I have had the most amazing 12 weeks working with the most wonderful group of guardians and puppies all the way through Puppy school and Puppy Power. Each week, the hall is surrounded with love, laughter and understanding! The running joke has always been that I cry on graduation nights, so I had to make sure I was true to form! What a blessing it is to be able to watch these lovely partnerships going out into the world, knowing they don’t need any luck, because they have eachother! How lucky am I! 🥰

HAPPY MONDAY- only half way through this day of smiles but I couldn’t resist sharing some of these beautiful faces 😍😃

❄️☃️ Winter Safety ☃️❄️

To make sure you and your furry friend stay safe in the cold weather, please be aware of these common hazards:

❄️ It is never safe for your puppy to walk on a frozen body of water, as there is no way of knowing how thick the ice is. Keep them under close control around frozen water to avoid the risk of them falling through.

❄️ Salt spread on roads and pavements can be an irritant to your puppy's paws. Rinse their paws with warm water when you get home from a walk, this will also prevent them from licking the salt from their paws.

❄️ Antifreeze is poisonous to dogs if ingested. If you think your puppy has licked, or come into contact with any antifreeze, contact your vet immediately.

❄️ Small breeds, young puppies, and those with short hair are particularly at risk of losing heat quickly. Look at for any signs that they are cold (shivering or becoming tired) and bring them back into the warm as soon as possible.

Keep yourself and your pup safe out there, and maybe have fun with inside enrichment activities if the weather is too awful!

BEWARE!!! ROCK SALT

With the expected cold blast due for most of us, rock salt will be added to grit and used on many roads and paths. Rock salt is toxic for dogs!

Check and wipe off paws after every walk as rock salt can cause burns to paws, mouth and throat.

If a dog eats rock salt, it can lead to a high blood sodium concentration, which can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, thirst, and in severe cases, kidney damage and convulsions.

Always consult your vet if you are worried about any aspect of your dog's health.

I'm lucky to have such wonderful professionals in my life who are also great friends—friends who truly understand the challenges of living with a reactive dog and the emotional responsibility that comes with it. Poppy, having been terribly abused in her past, doesn't make friends easily. It's been a six-year journey of overcoming hurdles to help her find her equilibrium. And of course, with a little bit of Pip's charm, how could she not feel safe around him and Mel?

This is her second friend outside the household in 6.5 years!

In our line of work, it’s essential to treat every day as a learning opportunity, continually evolving and striving to better understand the incredible dogs we are entrusted with.

Thank you Mel ♥️

We have been made aware of posts about a secure field which backs on to the M5 not being secure.
We have been asked if it is K9.
We want to assure all our customers this isn’t our field and K9 continues to provide a safe and secure space for you and your pups.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🥳

2024 Wrapped Up!
What an incredible year it's been, filled with adventures, mischief, and countless memories!

A super busy year, becoming a certified Puppy School Tutor and making amazing connections with other local professionals who I’m now lucky enough to call friends. And of course, the endless joy of being surrounded by so many wonderful paws!

We also welcomed this little tinker into our lives as an unexpected (but very loved!) rescue addition to 2024. Life would certainly be very different without him. 🤪

I’m so grateful to my lovely doggos and their wonderful guardians for allowing me to be a part of their journeys!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and I’ll see you in 2025!! ♥️

The cost of living crisis is affecting a huge number of dog guardians. I have known people locally to go without food so that their dogs can eat.

Now Christmas is approaching, I know it must be a stressful time for some dog guardians.
I want to give back so this Christmas if anyone is struggling to feed their dog, please get in touch and I will provide a free 2kg bag of kibble and some cans of dog food. No questions asked and no judgement passed!

I’m only one person and not exactly rolling in it so I may not be able to help everyone that contacts me, but I’d like to help as many as I can.

There is no shortage, on social media, of videos where dogs are treated like rag dolls. They are grabbed and thrown about with no regard as to whether they are truly comfortable and in many videos, it is painfully obvious that the dog is not comfortable.

Imagine you are trying to take a peaceful nap and someone keeps rubbing their hand in your face and on your head, eventually you are going to tell them to f***k off and with dogs, that f***k off could take the form of a nasty bite.

A dog might want to be left alone, and that is perfectly acceptable.
Some subtle signs that your dog might not be enjoying the physical attention:
🐾 licking their lips repeatedly
🐾 turning their head away from you
🐾 yawning
🐾 trying to move away
When Pip doesn’t want me to touch him, he will often duck under my hand so it doesn’t touch him and I just leave him be.

If you’re dog growls or lunges when you are touching them, leave them be! It’s a warning.

Putting a dog in an uncomfortable position for views is unethical.

Did you know it’s against the Public Space Protection Orders to allow your dog to use children’s play areas?
We have some wonderful play areas locally and the last thing you want is a child landing in urine or faeces or touching their faces unbeknownst to what risks they have on their hands. It is an offence and can result in a fine of up to £1000, a Fixed Penalty Notice and conviction!

As i write this, I'm currently having a meltdown in the vets.
If any of you are thinking this is a scam you are more than welcome to call the vets directly - just message us and we'll send you the number.
We're in the deep end - bad.
We're at a head with something that will now potentially be the end of us, unfortunately.
I have only ever tried to save lives.
Our puppies have Parvo and we cannot do it alone.

About a month ago i wrote up a post that said we are not taking on any dogs or cats unless it is an emergency as we are so low on funds.
This was to safeguard us and be responsible but apparently not well enough.
We still had a bit of veterinary funds at this point but then the rabbit issue hit.
The only time the mother of the pups was able to be exposed to this horrible virus whilst out of quarantine was when she was taken to a vet for a general check.
This is the reason it is incredibly important why all dogs should be fully vaccinated before going anywhere outside as it can be picked up very easily.
This is the only way it could have possibly got in, we've been incredibly careful.
This is not anyone's fault including the vets as it could have been from just outside the practice - it happens and is a risk for an unvaccinated dog.

Currently, this exact pup is in the vets fighting for his life.
We have another two that are about to go in now that are showing symptoms and another no longer eating.
One puppy alone is going to cost a minimum of 1k to attempt to treat with 24 hour care.
If all of these pups go down with it, we're looking at thousands to even try saving them which is money we just do not have.

The bottom line is, we need funds desperately to be able to save them.
Usually i would try finding other rescue space for them to go to as we're struggling but this is not an option with it being so time sensitive aswell as infection risk.
Any help can even be paid directly to the vets i just need to ask if they're ok with this first, which I'm sure they will be.
All receipts can and will be shown.
Anything massively helps at this stage.
We have a teeny bit of funds backed up, but not enough to cover all.
I can't believe this is happening and all at once.

Please note the other animals currently under or in our care will not go without, they never will.
They are covered.
This will not effect their care as we are prepared for general care aswell as normal veterinary costs, just not for quite considerable unexpected veterinary bills - like most rescues.
