🌟 Pup of the Week: Ginger! 🌟

One of our OG (or OP!) clients, the gorgeous Ginger has been part of The Country Mutt family since she was just a pup! With her stunning coat and sweet, gentle nature, she’s loved by everyone who meets her 🧡

Here’s what Ginger gets up to on her daycare days:
☀️ Sunbathing like the true greyhound queen she is
🐾 Zooming around with her Lurcher pal, Billy
💦 Splashing in the pool during the summer months
🐶 Hanging out with her bestie, Barney
🧡 Keeping an eye on her little brother Tuck (who’s never far behind!)

We just adore this beautiful girl and her 'ray of sunshine' personality - it wouldn’t be TCM without our Ginger around! 🥰

Our lovely Pete and his brother are running the pumpkin patch at the end of Dodford lane SN154DE - here’s a link to the page

They’d love to see you all!

Set in an open field in rural Wiltshire, our pumpkin patch is bursting with pumpkins of every size, shape, and variety. Perfect for carving, decorating, or cooking. Hot and cold refreshments available + a chance to win prizes!

🌟 Pup of the Week 🌟

This week the crown goes to… Maggie! 🥰 👑

If you spot Em around daycare, chances are Maggie won’t be far behind… in fact, she’ll probably be right on her heels! 😂 Our little shadow is Em’s number one fan, stalker and partner-in-crime.

When she’s not glued to her favourite human, Maggie loves nothing more than chasing after a ball or rolling herself into the grass (or mud… usually mud 🤪).

She’s also our one and only Swedish Vallhund, making her a truly unique member of the pack – and definitely one of a kind! 💛

We love you Maggie! 🐶✨

🔊🐾 Pup of the Week 🐾 🔊

This week it’s none other than… Oscar the Beagle!

If you’ve ever stepped foot in daycare, chances are you’ve heard Oscar before you’ve seen him! 😂🙈 He’s one of the biggest (and loudest...!) characters in the pack, keeping everyone entertained with his non-stop beagle bugling.

When he’s not voicing his opinions, you’ll find him chasing a ball, rolling in the mud, or soaking up the sunshine with his friends. True to his breed, Oscar’s nose is always on the hunt for snacks 🍪 and while cuddles are rare, they’re absolute gold when they come along 🥰

Turn up the volume for our 'Pup of the Week'! Well done, Oscar! 🎉

P.s. No eardrums were hurt in the making of this post 😂

✨🐾 Pup of the Week 🐾✨

This week is extra special… because we’re crowning our very first lady 'Pup of the Week'! 💃🐶 Please give a big round of a-paws to the gorgeous Juno (affectionately known as Junopoo or Junebug 🥰).

Juno has been part of The Country Mutt family for a while now, and she’s truly one of a kind. From her role as Chief Treat Inspector (no biscuit goes unchecked 👀🍪), to Sofa Warmer Extraordinaire and Professional Molehill Destroyer, she always keeps us smiling.

She’s also a star performer – showing off her agility moves and pulling out all the tricks if there’s a sausage on offer. 🌭✨ But at heart, Juno is the ultimate cuddle bug, happiest soaking up the sunshine or curling up for sofa snuggles. ☀️🛋️🫶🏼

We’re so lucky to have this wonderful girlie with us – here’s to our first (but definitely not the last!) leading lady and 'Pup of the Week'.

✨ A very special goodbye to our Merlot ✨

It’s hard to believe it’s Merlot’s last week with us after 7 (yes, seven!) wonderful years at TCM! 🥺❤️

From a cheeky little pup to the true gentleman he is today, Merlot has been such a big part of our Thursdays. He’s always the first to greet new staff (with a nudge for butt scratches or head rubs, of course 🤭), loves his cuddles, and never says no to a good mooch around the paddocks with his pals Wilson and George. 🐾

We’re going to miss him so much, but we feel so lucky to have been part of his journey. A huge thank you as well to his wonderful family for trusting us with their boy all these years - it’s been such a privilege. 💕

TCM friends, please drop some love in the comments to send our 'Pup of the Week', Merlot on his merry way 🥰

Happy international dog day from ours to yours! 🥰

We love having the pleasure of spending our days looking after and playing with everyone’s puppers 😍🐾❤️
