It was lovely spending time with Luna and Flo today in their garden playing ball.

They are truly the bestest of friends..just look at their happy faces. 💕

Love this pair 💕

Woohoo I'm back!!!! 🙏

This week I've covered 38 miles walking Rosie, Bess, Rexy, Woody, Suzie and Sid, Peggy, Lucie and Bailey, Basil, Marvin, Reggie, Otis, Ginny, Cooper, Archie and Obi and Darcy and Todd and Seren.

We welcomed 2 new clients, Cooper and Archie.

Marvin had a play date and walk with Woody and Bess which went super well.

We finished pop in visits for lovely Monty and started visits for Simon and Molly.

Rufus and Rexy had their second play date which was super successful for both of them.

I started looking after 2 rottweiler clients, Dolly and Duke yesterday who I've not seen for a year and had a lovely welcome from them! Love them 💕

Hope everyone's having a great weekend.

Natalka & Jake ☺️

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to explain why ive not posted in a while. Some of you may be aware that Meta had a global outage on Wednesday Dec 11th, as a result i was unable to access my account.

I have been in constant contact with facebook support since then and they have been struggling to fully reinstate my page.

Please rest assured there has been no hack involved and they have verified my identity but its taking a while to get back up and running.

If you need to contact me, please do so on my mobile 07785 730028 SMS or Whats App.

Thanks,
Natalka

Jake was dog sitting for Toby and Bill this evening so I popped in to say hi and received the loveliest welcome from them. ❤️

It's so lovely watching animals form relationships, it genuinely warms my heart in what is a completely messed up and scary world at the moment.

It's truly the small things that count and matter. ❤️

And that's a wrap!! Another week of pet care complete!

We finished pop in visits for lovely Simon and Molly and we're continuing doing twice daily pop in visits for Monty. I was honoured to have some lap time with him earlier!

Dottie had her weekly pop in visit twice in one day and we adhered to her routine of endless fuss and being hand fed cheese. ☺️

Obi and Darcy had a rather soggy walk with me and Lucie and Bailey had a nice walk with Jake.

Elsie enjoyed her walk around the Willows Nature Reserve.

Woody and Marvin enjoyed a lovely walk together, Jake has found a fab new off road walk which was just great for the boys!

Today I popped in twice on Millie for wees and her tea and Paddy for some fuss and Dreamies, he's a beautiful boy.

I had a lovely lunchtime companion with one of our cats, Poppy. Having a cat in your arms cuddling you is just the best. ❤️

Kaspar seems perkier today after starting his antibiotics so fingers crossed.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Natalka & Jake 😊

**UPDATE** Kaspar managed to climb up to the highest cat tower in the house and is now totally sparko. 🤣

Today, I discovered completely accidentally that Kaspar has another abscess next to his bum like he did a while ago.

I picked him up to give him his urinary medication and noticed his bum was wet. When I checked his bum, I noticed the beginnings of an abscess again. 😔

Luckily, Katharine Vets 1 Group saw him today and has given him antibiotics and said it was found early which will hopefully mean it will heal with no further treatment needed.

This is really a post about how important it is to be so vigilant about any 'abnormalities', either physically or behaviourally in our pets.

Often, vigilance can make the difference between something minor or something major!

Kaspar is currently high on Gabapentin for the pain so he said its not all bad! 😁

Coincidentally, this lovely picture of Kaspar popped up on my FB memories earlier that a child drew of Kaspar 3 years ago during Covid times when he was busy doing his themed windows.

Kaspar, you truly are a wonder cat and we love you. 💝

I personally couldn't think of a better way to celebrate the new opening of in Downham today by getting a facial from a pug. 😆

Thanks Elsie.

▪️Lucie and Bailey
▪️Marvin
▪️Otis

⭐️ I've done twice daily pop in visits for lovely Monty and Simon and Molly, making sure they get plenty of enrichment, fuss and not to mention the all important food!

⭐️ Rexy and Rufus had their first ever play date together and it went absolutely brilliantly and will now become a weekly date so both dogs will benefit hugely from the socialisation and play time.

Now for a busy rest of the week!

Hope everyone's having a good one.

Much love,

I have loved and had Persian cats for around 15 years.

This is usually how I spend my evenings grooming them, cutting any knots before they turn into dreadlocks, not to mention the twice (at least) daily eye cleaning.

They are very high maintenance but their temperaments are one of a kind and wouldn't change a thing about them. ❤️

Meet one of them, Poppy.

Quieter weekend than last week but lovely none the less!

Yesterday started with a pop in walk for Millie and some fuss her friend, Paddy.

Next, I walked and looked after beautiful Ralphy yesterday and took him back to our garden after his walk for some play time. Look at that smile!!

Today, Jake sat with Bingo for the afternoon and took him for a short walk. At the same time, I was walking lovely Basil and they both had cute little Sherlock Holme coats on! 😆😍

Then a pop in walk afterwards for my bestie, Woody who enjoyed a chicken ball puzzle treat when I left.

This evening I started looking after the very sweet Simon and Molly for the next few days who are ex Cats Protection cats. It's so lovely having been involved in their rehoming journey, Simon was super nervous of me at first but now he's super cool with me due to being looked after by me regularly. ❤️

It's another busy week ahead for me and Jake which is kind of the norm of late! 😆🫡

Have a great week all.

Bailey and Lucie enjoying their walk today, Bailey was just so relieved he wasn't being shipped off to Alcatraz...🤣🤣

29/11/2024

That's a wrap! Final mileage count for the week for both of us was 46 miles. 🫡

Another super busy week but grateful for a quiet weekend to recharge the legs! 😆

I think Bailey was relieved he wasn't shipped off to prison in his convict outfit..😂

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Much love,

Natalka and Jake

Some of you may know of the dog I walk a few times a week, Woody.

The dog that squeals with excitement when I arrive.

The dog that I would say is the happiest dog I've ever met.

Thank you Woody for today, what a super way to start the week and for always making me laugh. ❤️
