Love this ❤️❤️
Donations all delivered 👏🏻👏🏻. Thank you all so so much! Have a lovely Christmas 🎄🎅🏻🐾🐶❤️
Thank you so so much for all your Christmas donations for Happy Endings rescue again this year! I’ll be delivering these on Saturday afternoon, they’ll be so gratefully received by the rescue animals that aren’t as fortunate as our pets this Christmas ❤️🎄🎅🏻. I’ll be getting a few more bits on Saturday morning too, and if you have anything else you’d like to add just let me know and drop off before midday on Saturday. Thank you all for your amazing generosity ❤️🎅🏻🎄
Wow that was quick! All spaces now filled in 5 minutes 🤣👏🏻❤️
I have been officially closed this week but I do have a couple of spaces for day care tomorrow (Friday 22nd December), so message me if you need to do any last minute shopping, or if you’d like to have a day out and would like your dog/s to come and join the fun here! 😊🎅🏻🎄🐶❤️
(Current customers only, I’m afraid I’m still not taking on any new dogs at the moment) 🎅🏻🎄🐶
Rosie and Mabel in their Xmas jumpers today ❤️🎅🏻🎄🐾❤️
Sparky and Treacle this evening ❤️🎅🏻🎄🐾❤️
Feeling festive with Rosie and Buddy today ❤️🎄🎅🏻🐾
Loving this sunnier, milder day in the field today 😊🐾🐕🐶☀️
Don’t forget next week is Christmas jumper/accessory week! 🎄🎅🏻 Totally optional of course. But feel free to send your dog in wearing their festive gear! Here’s the lovely Buddy, Mumble and Treacle wearing theirs last year in the snow! ❄️☃️🎅🏻🎄
🎄🎅🏻🐾Christmas charity collection update….
Happy Endings Rescue in Faversham are so pleased that we have chosen to support them again this Christmas.
Here is a list of supplies that they are asking for to help their rescue animals….
Cat food - wet and dry
Dog food - wet only.
Towels
Blankets
Newspapers
Dried fruit and nuts
Dog toys
Pre bagged hay for rabbits and guinea pigs.
Please place all donations on the bench just inside my dog entrance and I’ll deliver them all from us nearer to Christmas.
🌟If anyone knows another local animal charity that would like our support this Christmas please let me know. Last year, your generosity meant we had so many donations that we were able to support two charities 🥰❤️
That was a chilly last walk of the week 🥶❄️💨. Have a lovely weekend everyone 🐾🐶🐴
Such a beautiful morning in the field 🐾🍁🍂☀️
Cost of living FREE groom. We have decided to offer 1 free groom, 2 if possible a week to those in need. Please post on here/pm me or what's app a picture of your dog needing help, 07703 414450 based in Rough Common
T & C
1 - your dog must NOT have fleas, if it does, you will have to take your dog away and wait for the next available groom.
2 - only put yourself or someone else forward if they genuinely need help for the dog, we are all struggling but we want to help dogs in desperate need of a groom.
3 - if your dog is aggressive/nervous been excluded from other groomers, please say, we will work with you but need to protect ourselves.
4 - Please turn up if you are lucky enough to be chosen as spaces will be very limited.
5 - This is a trial offer to help as many people/dogs as we can.
6 - We would require a recent photo of your dog to enable us to see roughly how much time we need.
We hope we can help as many dogs as possible over the coming months so please be honest, don't abuse this offer and share to someone in need.
Thank you, Nadine & Sophie 🐾
🎄🎅🏻🎄Christmas announcements 🎄🎅🏻🎄
🐾Week commenting 11th December is dog Christmas Jumper/accessory week. This is of course totally optional. Please don’t feel you need to go out and buy your dog a Christmas jumper, just some tinsel or a bow tie on their collar or any festive accessory would be great!
🐾After the amazing success of last years Christmas charity collections, I thought I’d do the same again this year ❤️🐾🎅🏻🎄. Your generosity really was appreciated by the charities we supported.
On 1st December I’ll set up a collection box just inside my entrance gateway. But again, please don’t feel obliged to donate, or even just a small gift such as a tin of dog or cat food or some biscuits will be so appreciated.
It would be great to support Happy Endings Rescue again this year as they do such a fantastic job locally of rescuing and re-homing so many animals.
More details to follow for another very worthwhile cause and a list of required items very soon! Please keep an eye on this page.
🐾Finally, I close for day care on Friday 15th December at 5.30pm, and re-open on Wednesday 3rd January at 8am. But if you need any odd day care days/boarding in between these dates please message me as I am here, so more than happy to help, just trying not to have 8 dogs here every day over the festive period ❤️🤣🙈.
Thank you all so much for another brilliant year with all your animals. Shelley ❤️🎄🐾🎅🏻
A nice long play in the field this morning before the rain comes! 😢☔️🌧️🐾
Hi all. Just a reminder, I’m closed just for the day next Thursday (16th November) 🐶🐾
After last week’s post and chatting to you all about collection times, I have decided to change the collection window to 4.30-5.30pm for the winter months.
Please try not to come earlier than 4.30pm but if you need to come later than 5.30pm please just message me and it won’t be a problem.
Morning drop off time remains the same of between 8am and 9am.
Please note, in between these times the gate is kept locked and the doorbell may be turned off.
It’s so much more settled for the dogs to have these drop off and collection times.
Thank you all so much.
Shelley
Christmas dates! 🎅🏻🎄🐶🐾
I’m open for home boarding over the Christmas period this year including Christmas Day and Boxing day (at a slightly higher rate) and I do still have some availability (for existing customers only).
I’m totally closed for day care and boarding on Saturday 31st Dec and 1st/2nd January.
I’ll be closed for day care from Friday 15th December at 5.30pm and re opening on Wednesday 3rd January at 8am.
But if you need odd day care days in between those dates please message me.
Rabbit and Guinea pig boarding carries on as normal and I do still have some availability 🐰.
I hope this all makes sense!

Just a thought…..would you all prefer a slightly earlier collection time through these dark, winter months?
So instead of 5.00 - 5.45pm, would 4.30 - 5.30 be better?
Let me know, I’m happy to go with the majority.
Love my job 🤣☔️🌧️🐾🐶. What a day! Already soaked by 9.15am ☔️☔️
Tonight’s little lodgers 🐾❤️. I’m so glad I put out sweets and a note for the trick or treaters so the dogs weren’t wound up by the constant door knocks, these four have had a lovely quiet evening ❤️🎃👻
Making the most of this weather today! The next few days look pretty awful 😭💨🍃🍁
Hi all, just to confirm, I’m back open as normal for dog day care and boarding as of today 🐶🐾🐕.
The next date I’m closed for dogs is Thursday 16th November just for one day.
Then the 18th and 19th December.
I’ll confirm Christmas opening days by the end of this week 🎄🎅🏻.
Meanwhile, here’s a photo of Bruce and Sparky trying to make me feel guilty for making them go out in the rain 🤣☔️🐾
Floors cleaned, beds, blankets and towels all washed 👏🏻🫧🧹
I’m now closed for dog day care and boarding until Monday 30th October. I hope you all have a lovely half term week 😊.
