Why is it as soon as I get to the field to cut the grass it chucks it down 😩😭
The grass isn't as long as I had expected, thankfully! So at the moment my weather app is showing its not raining Sunday so I'll be back then to cut the grass! 🤞
But poo bags have been topped up and I've done a poo and toy check and all is well 😊
Bruce is enjoying his rainy run at least 😂
I'll be replying to all messages once home this afternoon 😊

Anyone else have a dog that loves to pick a fight with the vacuum? 😂🤦♀️
As you can see, the rain has made the field boggy again in some places :(
We've been taking the field fortnightly for bookings for this reason, so we can make sure it doesn't get overused when it's like this, so we don't have to close for 6 weeks like we did at the start of the year!
Unfortunately, with how it is at the moment, we won't be opening up for new customers for the next week at least, possibly 2 weeks. Registered customers can still book, but sessions will be limited so it doesn't get overused and can heal.
I'm really sorry for any inconvenience as there are quite a few of you that were waiting for me to open up the next fortnight!
We'll be checking it regularly, and once it shows that it's starting to dry out again, we can open it up for new customers again.
I hate the rain a lot 😂 Where's the sun! We need it to stop raining and dry out and then the field can go back to normal!

It doesn't show up great but it's snowing at the field!
Not going to settle as it's been raining too, but nice to see big flakes of snow ⛄
I do love snow so hope it does do a big snow at some point! 😁
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! 🍾
2020 has been such a difficult year for everyone, so I hope 2021 is better for us all and we can get a little bit of normality back in all of our lives.
Thank you to each new customer this year that has been so patient and understanding with the fact that our inductions had to move online (which has been a big thing for me as prior to this, each and every single new customer over the last 5 years I've met so it was tricky for me to let go of that!)
Thank you to every single recurring customer that's continued using us this year and for keeping the field going and looking after it. For all of the feedback that allow us to put extra things in the field, or extra block bookings and packages. I genuinely do take every single bit of feedback on board and look at what we can do to make it the best it can be.
Thank you to every person that's recommended us. Our biggest way of getting new customers is through word of mouth which is amazing so thank you to everyone who recommends us!
Last but by no means least, a huge thank you to Jaz who started officially helping at the field this year. Jaz has helped for the last 3 or 4 years, but this year has been a huge huge help in maintaing the field ❤️
We're not sure what 2021 is going to be like, but we hope that we can soon get back to in person inductions and meet some lovely new faces, as well as being able to meet our lovely regulars and our 2020 newbies; many of which I've not yet met!
As mentioned in our Christmas post, we've got something exciting hopefully happening in the next couple of months that we're working on that we're looking forward to sharing, as well as lots of ideas for the field too!
Here's to hoping 2021 is a million times better! 🎉
P.S. Good luck tonight for those with firework sensitive dogs! We're with you too! ❤️ We've got a 10 hour Taiko Drumming video ready for Pete and his sedatives on hand if needed.

And that's a wrap! 🎁
Sessions for new customers are done for the year, my 'normal' job will be done for the year as of 4pm as well!
We're still open every day for registered customers via the online booking system. We'll still be answering messages as normal so if you need us we're here!
I just want to say a humongous thank you to each and every single customer this year. Whether you used us once, 100 times or bought some treats from us. Every single one of you has helped build my little dream which in turn helps more and more people that need a safe space ❤️
2020 has been a big ol' bag of crap for everyone, so the fact that people chose to support us means so much. We've also got some exciting things in the works for 2021!
I hope all of you have an amazing Christmas, a great New Year, and here's to hoping 2021 is a million times better for us all! 🎄
⛄ Merry Christmas! ⛄

Albert enjoying his visit today! 😍
His mum told us he's spent the rest of the day asleep after tiring himself out this morning 😴
He's so handsome and I wish I could've met him on a normal induction!
