2 years???? What a 2 years they've been!!!
Thank you to all who have helped make Totally Barking Dog Walking Services What it is today.๐
Especially my furry work mates that I get to go out on daily adventures with. ๐ถ
When your office is the woods and the canteen is the blackberry bush and apple tree......work doesn't seem too bad. ๐คฃ๐คฃ
My heart is full of gratitude ๐ ๐ฅน ๐ถโค๏ธโจ๏ธ
The Totally Barking pack are excited for our river walk and Niki is super excited to see the Kingfisher, Heron and a Canadian goose with an orange beak, within minutes of setting off. ๐
Don't forget to sponsor us......every penny, counts, no matter how big or small!!! ๐ฅฐ

Hope you all have a great day!!! ๐ ๐
Towels and doggy dressing gowns in the washer, ready for action and now out to explore somewhere new.
Never stops working, doesn't Branch Manager Badger!!! ๐คฃ๐คฃ
We've been blessed with an extra pair of hands this week, after a brief 'hour' of sickness resulted in 48 hours off school!! ๐๐คฃ
The dogs were pleased for another playmate, though!! ๐ ๐ถ ๐ง โค๏ธ
Just another 'Totally Barking' day. โฅ๏ธ
A soggy day exploring in Stoney Cliffe woods with these guys. Thank goodness for wellies and waterproofs. โ๏ธ
The dogs and ducks weren't complaining though! ๐ฆ๐
I even collected some wild garlic for tea. ๐
Badger has spent all afternoon perfecting the moon walk. He's completely mastered it now i think!! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
I so neeeeed to put this to music. Shame I'm crap at tech!!! ๐
Me and Arlo have been playing in the woods today. We've found a new bit and we're super excited. ๐ค
I can't even begin to tell you how much that makes me happy............... And look at that blue sky. ๐๐ถ๐พ๐พ๐ข๐ข๐
Totally Barking adventures. ๐ฟ๐
๐ข๐ถ Introducing Poppy aka 'Pop Star' to the pack. She may be little but she's bloomin' fast. A little pocket rocket!!! ๐โญ๏ธ
Poppy joined us last week. This is her today having fun with her new mate Alfie. ๐พ๐๐พโฅ๏ธ
Looks like we were all itching to get back out walking. ๐พ๐พ๐ฅพ๐ฅพ
It makes it all worth while to get such a fab response from my furry friends. Must be doing something right. ๐ถ๐พโค๏ธ
New recruit Cooper getting into the Christmas spirit!!! ๐
๐พ๐ฅฐ
๐ถ๐พ๐Our walk today with another new recruit...... meet Cooper the cool cucumber. Although I'm told carrots are his favourite snack. ๐
This place is perfect for everyone to get to know each other, away from traffic and is pretty good and enclosed for assessing our newest members skills and personality and more importantly trying to secure a strong bond of trust. โค๏ธ
We had lots of fun playing chase, Riley Rocket found a ball for everyone to play with and Uncle Nob Ed aka Badger, found a big stick and became unsociable..... not that that bothered either Riley Roo or Riley Rocket who both grabbed each end and ran Badger and his stick to the end of the field.... then got bored with him. ๐๐
Meet our new recruit!!
Alfie is training for the Winter Olympics. I think you'll find his doggy sledging is pretty awesome!!!! โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
He has had me giggling today!! What a dude!! ๐๐พ๐ถ
Badger and Riley Roo earning a treat or two!! ๐คฃ
We like to play lots of enrichment games on our walks out. This helps your dog to stimulate his senses and activate his happy hormones.
Badger, Boris, Riley Roo, and Milo are sniff and seeking some treats I've scattered about (air dried crunchy chicken wings, liver treats and salmon pieces. Yum)
A firm favourite with these lads. ๐พ๐ถโค๏ธ
Branch Manager Badger enjoying his breakfast from an empty milk bottle.
Everytime we finish a milk bottle in our house it gets used as an enrichment tool to provide mental stimulation for Badge. He loves to play this game and works hard for his breakfast. ๐พโค๏ธ
Of course you'll never have a clean kitchen floor for long, but hey ho!! ๐
And look at my cheeky little helper. ๐
๐โค๏ธ
Go on Boris the bog monster and little Riley Roo!!!๐คฃ๐คฃ
They weren't quite as happy when the Dirt Daddy had to come out and clean them both up!!!! ๐คฃ
Boris and Barney having fun in the water. You won't get our Badger in there though!! ๐ฆ๐
