🚨🚨 Please Read 🚨🚨

Some of you may have already seen in the news that there are recorded cases of Canine Parvovirus in fife at the moment. Parvovirus is a serious virus that can lead to severe illness in all dogs but in particular young puppies and older dogs. Please be aware, all dogs can become unwell no matter what their age. Most of your pooches will be vaccinated against Parvovirus but we still need to be vigilant.

The symptoms or Parvovirus are as follows :

Bloody Diarrhea
Extreme lethargy
Vomiting
Pale gums
Lack of interest in food
Abdominal pain

It is extremely important that if your dog presents any of these symptoms that you let me know as soon as possible. Your dog will not be able to come on walks as Parvovirus is extremely contagious and is passed around in the p**p of infected dogs.

I know this will be a pain but if you think your dog may have any of these symptoms, please let me know so we can keep everyone safe 🧡🧡

Back home after a bit of a break for Jura and I. She had a mental time with Ted and Bert but something tells me she’s happy to be back home with her dad 🥰

Ps that’s a DIY veggie patch in progress in the background, we are absolutely done in 😮‍💨We will both be lying down somewhere in if you need us👍

Reflecting a bit today…

It’s been a tough couple of weeks. There are always going to be things in life that take the wind out of your sails. But life goes on and you have to learn to cope with whatever comes your way- but that doesn’t make it any easier at the time.

I have struggled at communicating how I feel and I will literally give myself a migraine instead of letting out some tears( getting better now but still)

I was thinking about what I do to pick myself back up when things are hard. My family and friends are great and help me immensely don’t get me wrong - but one thing that never fails to make me feel better is coming home to my dog.

I’m the biggest believer in the way pets add value to your life, or why would we get dogs in the first place? They know when you are down and know how to make you feel better in the purest most non judgemental way.

I’ve seen it first hand in my relationship with my dog Jura and also have seen they way they can bring joy to people in need- there is a reason therapets exist, and it’s scientifically proven that they help people. We rely on dogs in so many different ways.

So for all the good they do how can we make sure that they are fulfilled and happy? It’s all to do with how you train and care for your dog and the time and energy you put in to them. And yes, sometimes we will have challenges- whether that be training hurdles or the “teenage dirtbag” phase gets real (and it is very real Jura can confirm) - whatever it is , it’s worth the time and energy to work on as the outcome will be a stronger more fulfilling relationship.

Anyway I’m away to cuddle my dog because I need it.

Ps . Isn’t this just the most majestic picture of Willow?

Not been posting on here for a while due to busy few months…

Most of you know myself and Ben decided to tie the knot and thought I’d share with you some special shots we got as many of you have been asking how it went!

Can confirm that jura behaved very well but did eventually decide the water was calling her…as expected 😂😂 at least we got a few good ones of her not sodding wet though 😂❤️

Best last walk with Kerry and her bunch - mad Party up the hills to go out in style 🕺🤩☀️

Thanks to everyone- I’ve had THE best dogs and humans, so so lucky for you all. It’s really not been easy having to hang up my leads and let me tell you many tears have been shed, but I’ve got to tell myself its the best decision for me and the business.

I’m still here and hopefully the future has lots of exciting things lined up for Summit moving forward. Talk about moving- better get out of bed and get to work! Moving house is fun and not stressful at all - said no one ever🥲

❤️Kirsten and Jura

Out in the arctic tundra today with this lot + auntie Kerry at Mind the Dugs and her dugs👌👌⭐️

Despite the sleet storm and mud slides we had a grand old time with new and old friends. Wilson will always make me laugh with his grunty barks😂

Sorry for the lack of photos- my fingers were frozen stubs 10 mins in

What delightful weather we are having today… not 🙃

The weather may have been a bit ming but the water babies were out to play 💦🦆🐟 Callie and Laika say the wet weather always make the sniffs even better too! Too good at times, as their ears were more painted on today it seems 😂

We then met up with Lara and her three. Spike was not too impressed with the rain but decided that the promise of a mouse hunt with his sister Iris trumped his hatred of the rain. Beau didn’t understand the hype so just ran about like a dafty while they did their thing!

Happy Thursday 👌

Ladies and gentleman…. Baxter

Lots of bitey face, slobbers on heeds and games of “it’s raining Pâté” today. It was also good meeting old/ new friends on the hills today too 👌⭐️

Baxter the “hippolab” was out in full glory wallowing about in the puddles🦛 Everybody was on their best behaviour and the sun even decided to make an appearance later on which gave us some extra pep in our step ☀️🎉
