Happy Saturday
We’ve had another fun packed week here at Barking Mates. 🐶☀️
As we head into yet another bank holiday weekend here is a little reminder that we can’t solve our problems by going for a walk, but that none of our problems can be made worse by going for a walk. I hope you are all able to enjoy the sunshine this weekend.
I’m still doing something every day that makes me happy and I will share these with you soon.
Love Always
Barb

Happy Sunday
With only 4 weeks to go until the big day are you ready? Loki assures me he has been a good boy. Have you been good this year? 🎄🐶
All our Christmas decorations are finally up here at Barking Mates. Have you put your tree up this weekend. 🎄🎄
We are looking forward to another busy week ahead and we are hoping for some drier weather. ☀️
We have more treats lined up for you this week so make sure you keep your eyes peeled. 🎁🎁

Remind me whose idea it was to be a dog walker 😂 🙋🏻♀️
This could be another very cold, wet and windy one for me and todays gang of 12 furry mates on our adventures 🙄🌧

First Aid Series - Shock
Shock is a lack of oxygen to the tissues of the body, usually caused by a fall in blood volume or blood pressure. Shock occurs as a result of the body's circulatory system failing to work properly, which means that the tissues and organs of the body, including the heart and the brain, struggle to get sufficient oxygen.
It’s very important to know the signs of shock, and how you can help your dog.
I hope this helps.

Thursday Fact
Dog’s can only sweat through their paws.

Caring for our beloved furry friends can help our mental health in many ways.
Here are some of the benefits :-
🐾 Increases your physical activity. Daily walks outdoors boost physical and emotional wellbeing. Chucking sticks, picking up balls and running with our dogs can provide an all round workout.
🐾 Provide companionship. Dogs can give you a sense of security and someone to share your day with. Caring for them can help you feel needed and wanted.
🐾 Reducing Anxiety. Companionship of a dog can help ease anxieties.
🐾 Help meet new people. Dog owners will stop and chat to each other on walks, whilst their dogs are socialising. New friendships are often formed in pet shops, training classes or in a local field.
🐾 Boosting self confidence. Pets are great listeners, they won’t criticise you and always offer unconditional love.
🐾 Adds structure to your day. Having to feed, exercise and care for your dog can help keep you in a daily routine, this can help you feel more focused and grounded. It can give your day a purpose and sense of achievement.
Dogs also give amazing hugs 🤗.
Just remember you are always loved, my door is always open and my kettle is always on.

A dog’s nose is pretty unique.
