It’s that time of year again when you need to dig out the light up collars for your dogs.

A few years ago we invested in these light up harnesses for ours and they are far better than any collar we had previously. We never lose sight of them in the dark (I’ve put a video of them running about in the dark in the comments).

I’m going to be putting an order in for more, for the dogs who board with me, and wondered if anyone wanted me to get one for their dog too.

The harnesses are £45 each and ship from America.

They’re not the cheapest but they’re 100 times better than any light up collar we’ve had and, in my opinion, worth every penny. They’re also rechargeable.

If you’d like to order one message me with the size you want (S, M, L or XL).

I’ll be putting the order in on Saturday 11th November.

The 💩 weather 🌧️ we’re experiencing is not dampening the spirits of this lot! Happy faces all round. 😃

What’s your dog’s real name?

We have Mrs Wagginton and The Original Food Ninja. Very apt indeed! 🐶🤣🐶

It’s been a busy few days here. We welcomed the arrival of these two little beauties. 💙🐶🩷🐶

So, the hubby is off on another charity bike ride soon, this time he’s cycling all the way to Germany! 🚴‍♂️🇩🇪

I know times are tough for everyone right now but if you could spare a few pennies it’s for a good cause. 😀

What a beautiful bunch this lot are!

I love watching the dogs having the BEST time on our walks.

They don’t always go home spotless but they have lots of fun.

True story! 🐶🤣🐶

We’ve been in need of these cuddles over the last few weeks. 🤗

As a family, we all agree that it’s been so nice to have the other dogs around after losing Haggis. They’re our extended family. 🥰

He’s home! I’m so happy for everyone involved that Paddy finally made his way back to owners. 🥰

❣️❣️LOOK WHO'S HOME ❣️❣️ PADDYS HOME ❣️❣️
HUUUUUGEEEE THANKS to everyone for their support, help and offers to search for him. Thanks also to Ian who runs Riverside caravan park for checking all CCTV and allowing the scopers in to search :) After what seems like an eternity, Paddy recognised his dads car and told him he had had enough and was wanting in, standing at the drivers door, tail wagging, Fraser not sure whether to open and risk spooking or wait til he jumped in Ciarans van as he had done for a split second the night before .... A risk was taken and paddy was IN Woohoo 🥰🥰 ....
Dedicated vols and helpers scoped and searched in the first few nights, then after Raven the stunning sniffer dog was out, she quickly established Paddy was not in the area we had first thought, but in fact the other side, and potentially using the sand (clever move) to get about, which is much harder to track. On Thursday night the team was in place, all areas scoped and he was seen a couple of times. At 05.30 on Friday morning, Paddy jumped right in the dog walkers van but only for a split second and food chomp and out again, so no pressure was put on Paddy, but it could be seen he was ok, confirmed not snagged etc. Plan was put in place to repeat last night again which is why we begged folk to stay away 🥰 most listened. We hoped the "busy encounter" wouldn't chase him out of his safe place, which we now knew was within the range and very close to the rail line 🫣 ... BBQ was repeated, gravy trails were repeated and even urine trail was on the agenda (collected previously 🤣 ) Thankfully it didn't and at the back of 3 this morning Paddy appeared, once again approaching ciarans van but then saw his dads car and recognised, about taking off with his waggy happy relieved tail 🥰🥰🥰 MASSIVE thanks to Ciaran for his dedication to Paddy, spending every free minute/hour searching for him. MASSIVE thanks also to the girls from Missing Pets, Perth and Kinross Scotland who, after doing all their own missing dog searches, offered to assist and come through both nights and were there to witness it all 💕 Their help and expertise is invaluable to us and we are very grateful to them once again, as Dundee and Angus don't have their own search/trap team. These girls work tirelessly and travel miles to help us out and we are always truly grateful and relieved when they say they can help ❣️ They know how to work as a team, how to communicate, mapping etc, all of which is needed way before the trapping stage if needed. ❣️

So .... Wee recap, paddy stayed around the run off point, paddy returned to run off point and also the carpark he had arrived at, always looking for his humans as that's the last place he saw them. This is pretty textbook for a lot of missing dogs, so always remember, if your dog is lost in a place away from home, get unwashed scented items there asap, and wait..... Patience is a must, let your dog relax and return 🥰 chasing only flushes them out and risks them running off from the safe area they have found. This was a concern for Paddy as there was a very busy train track running parallel to his area and so many end up being hit :( Thankfully paddy has a happy ending and we know his owners are extremely grateful to each and every person who helped, which included staying away when requested. Everything done contributed to the right ending 🥰 fundraising link below to get a higher spec thermal, and as you know by now, we also use this for our escapees so please donate what you can, if you can 🙏🙏

We get to see our boy, Haggis, every day now we’ve had this portrait done from 🥰

What do you think? We think he quite suits being a baron. 🤣🐾💔

02/03/2023

I’ve been a little quiet on socials since losing our boy 💔 but I’ve not stopped walking and I’ve not stopped snapping pictures of our antics while we’ve been out.

Here are just a few. 🐶🐾🥰

01/03/2023

Little Paddy is still missing. 💔 He ran off from his dog walker into Barry Buddon from Monifieth yesterday morning and hasn’t been found. Please keeps your eyes peeled. 🐾

UPDATE 😍WEVE GOT OUR BOY BACK!!!! Huge thank you to every single person for all the shares, comments, and people who messaged us and spoke to us while we were out looking. The biggest thank you ever to the team who were out searching every night for our boy. He’s now grounded for life 🤣💙😍

❗ATTENTION❗❗ UPDATE :) Paddy is doing well and is not stuck or snagged folks :) In order to hopefully get him tonight, can we once again appeal to EVERYONE to not approach the area. Almost had him last night, on Paddy's terms, he is scared but will manage if nobody about to spook him. He was disturbed last night and we hope it won't happen tonight. Possibly someone not on Facebook but I'm going to repeat, can ALL walkers etc please avoid the area 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

If possible, if Paddy's run off area is your normal dog walking route can we ask if you would kindly choose a different one currently for this evening please, and to try and stay clear of the area tonight as a detailed plan is being put in place to try and locate him and the less footfall the better to try and locate and establish a route. You will be helping paddy enormously 🙏🙏🙏

still missing at 1400 hrs on 2nd of march.
Possible sighting at 22.45 tue night (28th) . Scenting items have been left and owners will sit quiet at run off point 🤞 admin going out tonight to see if help can be offered.

❗HAS ANYONE FOUND/SPOTTED OR LIFTED
MISSING FROM MONIFIETH BEACH, LAST SEEN RUNNING TOWARDS ARMY BARRACKS AND FIRING PRACTICE GOING ON. RANGE IS AWARE❗
please call 07902406412 or 07724875343. Chip is up to date if any vets receive 🙏

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I write this. 💔

We lost our beautiful boy Haggis last night. 💙

We are utterly devastated. He has left a huge haggis shaped hole in our hearts but we’re thankful for the time we had with him.

Run free my beautiful boy. 🐾❤️

21/01/2023

A timely reminder to keep your dogs on leads where wild haggis may be lurking. 🤣
