I'm always talking to your dogs and captured Wellingtons response! I wish my children listened to me as attentively he does! 🐶👂

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

As you all know I do like to snap a fair few photos of all your handsome/ pretty pooches and I must admit they are all very photogenic 📷.

However behind the scenes I am forever battling with phone storage and notifications to free up space. I am also mindful that I am filling up your phones too through the numerous what's app images/ videos I send across.

I would therefore like to try and upload all future FUR-DOG-raphy to my page on a regular basis instead of individually sending across by what's app.

I will still continue to send messages as usual following my visits to those who would like a little reassurance and update on their dogs day.

Likewise if you feel you are happy and are familiar with my service and feel you don't need the follow up message each time then please do let me know.

I hope you all understand my reasons.

Wow what a busy first week back! So lovely to see all these wonderful faces again 🥰🐶🐾

What I've learnt this week...

It's never too cold to take a dip in the stream, or so Otis thinks (big Otis the cuddle monster 🤗) 🥶

The gift of Christmas is not over yet... Enolas been up to tricks and bringing me frozen surprises 🐀 🫣

Molly has finally come out of her shell and is now my little shadow waiting for the next game to play 🏀

Meg is great at bird watching and spotted a little kingfisher 🐦

Otis (puppy Otis, although a big boy now) loves to hop on the bench for a yummy treat stop 😋

Being hand fed is much nicer than eating by yourself, well that's Raes preference ✋

Embers enjoying frosty walks and is sniffier than ever 👃

Barnaby and Ralph love their adventures and each path leads to new surprises 🛣️

Yoda loves giving kisses and will learn a new trick if it means a treat 🍪

Doug is as lovable as ever and a real bundle of joy, I know him inside out now and it's coming up for a year I've been enjoying his companionship 🥰

Oh and Miley has taken to her new ferris wheel, that's designed for parrots 🦜😂

Thank you all for supporting me in my new venture and making 2024 a year to remember!

I have loved every minute of getting to know my families and building special bonds with your dogs (and cats) and feel very honoured.

I am overwhelmed at all the lovely gifts I've received and really am grateful. Thank you so much 🤗

So much more fun and adventures await with all your wonderful bundles of joy in 2025 🐶🐾🥰

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎶🌲🎅.

I'm loving seeing all the festive jumpers and accessories!

This month is extremely busy and just a reminder my last day of walkies is 20th December and I'll be back walking again on 4th Jan.🐾🐶

🐾 I treasure each walk, and am very lucky to share these moments with all my dogs 🐾

"Walk with me; don’t just walk me. Slow down and see the world as I do. I know you’ve got things to do, places to be. But out here, with the ground beneath our feet and the sky above us, there’s a whole world worth noticing.

The autumn chill is in the air today, crisp and full of new smells. It’s different from yesterday, and different from the day before. Every day is new. The leaves crunch under my paws, and I stop to breathe in the rich, earthy scent of them. To you, it might just be a pile of leaves, but to me, it’s a story—one I can’t help but dive into, nose first.

There’s a squirrel somewhere nearby, I can sense it, darting up a tree, its tiny heart beating fast. And the wind carries whispers of things far away: a family cooking dinner, the trace of a cat that passed by early this morning, and the faint perfume of flowers holding on to their last bit of summer. It’s all here, swirling around us if you just take the time to notice.

You tug on the leash, eager to move on, and I can tell you’re thinking about something far away from here. But when we walk, truly walk, you and I can be in this moment together. Feel the cool air brush against your skin, let it wake you up. Notice how the sun filters through the branches, casting shadows that dance on the pavement. Hear the crunch of the leaves beneath our steps, like a secret rhythm just for us.

To you, it might be just another walk, a daily routine to tick off the list. But for me, every step is an adventure. Each scent is a clue, each sound a piece of a puzzle. When you walk with me, really walk with me, you’ll see it too. The world is bigger than what we’re rushing toward. It’s right here, in the small moments, in the quiet spaces between your thoughts.

So, slow down. Breathe. Let the chill fill your lungs and the colours fill your eyes. Walk with me, don’t just walk me. See the world as I do, if only for a little while. It’s all waiting for you, just beneath the surface".

We paid our respects today and chose the perfect spot for a treat stop 🌹

It is with Sadness a beloved member of the Playful Paws family has gained her wings 😢. Daisy and her sister Lottie were the second family to join and I have been honoured to have had so many fun adventures with them since February, often with Daisy leading the way, following the scent of her nose!

You will be sorely missed little girl but I promise I will continue to carry on the fun with your little sister.

Sleep tight Daisy 🐾 ###

This was taken on Mileys 1st Halloween 😈. If you've dressed your pup for the occasion, I'd love you to share your photos 📷.

Enola living the best life! The excitement of seeing a puddle 💦... you just can't resist a splash about 🫣. I promise she was returned home clean and dry 🐶

I don't just walk your dog. We also have lots of fun and games along the way... and of course auntie Cara's special treats 😋

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend 🤗🐶
