I had a wonderful week helping PAWS Pets adore wellbeing services last week, while Rachel took her well-deserved holiday. It was an honour to be entrusted with her own beloved cats as well as her beautiful borrowed floofs. All of them were amazing, and we had some lovely adventures together 🐾

It's National Yellow Dogs Day!
March 20th

National Yellow Dog Day is dedicated to raising awareness about dogs needing extra space or consideration.

When you see a dog wearing a yellow marker, such as a bandana, vest, or lead cover, it indicates that the dog is nervous or fearful. It may be recovering from surgery, feeling anxious in crowds, or simply being uncomfortable around other dogs or unknown people.

If you see a dog wearing yellow while you are walking your own dog, here are some steps you can take:

1. **Give Space**: Stay a safe distance from the yellow dog and avoid approaching it. This helps reduce stress for both dogs.

2. **Communicate**: If you are with other dog owners, let them know that the dog is wearing yellow and needs space. This can help everyone be more mindful.

3. **Avoid Direct Interaction**: Teach your dog to ignore the yellow dog. If your dog shows interest in the other dog, redirect its attention with treats or commands.

4. **Respect the Owner's Wishes**: If the owner of the yellow dog will appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

5. **Educate Others**: Use this opportunity to inform other dog owners and children about the significance of the yellow colour and why it's important to respect the boundaries of dogs wearing it.

By following these steps, you help create a safer and more comfortable environment for dogs and their owners.

Supporting National Dogs in Yellow Day helps create a safer environment for anxious or vulnerable dogs and promotes a more compassionate dog-loving community.

It's Crufts time! 🐾

As an exhibitor at Crufts, although I won’t be handling this year, but I’m excited to enjoy the event from the other side of the ring, watching all the beautiful dogs. We really enjoy talking to visitors about our dogs and their breed history.

However, please don't be offended if some owners decline to let you pet their dogs. We arrive very early and leave late, always prioritising our dog's welfare. There’s a lot happening around them, and they may need time to rest during the day or settle before it’s their turn to shine in the ring.

Enjoy your day, everyone attending! Explore the fun and discover all the amazing different breeds. Don't forget to buy your own adorable pooch some fantastic items from the stalls!

This could make such a huge difference to us, especially as our funds are so short at the moment.
It only takes a minute to vote.

📢Greyhound racing is officially ending in Wales!

Thanks to the incredible support from animal lovers like you, today marks a historic victory —the Welsh Government has announced it will end greyhound racing in Wales. This decision will save countless dogs from harm and is a major step forward for animal welfare. 🐾

We now urge the rest of the UK to follow the Welsh Government’s lead and end greyhound racing nationwide for good.
