Paws Aboard

17/06/2024

The part of this job you expect to happen eventually but is never ever easy, woke up to a message on Friday morning to say that wee Franco had to be put to sleep 😢 gutted & heartbroken for his owners Natalie + Connie! 😩❤️
There wasn’t a dog in the packs that he didn’t get on with, even if he did try his luck winding a good few up most walks 😅 He’ll be missed by us all! 😢
Sleep tight wee man! X

Afternoon all! 😃
Quick update for the ones not in the know as yet and wondering why there’s been no posts on the story this week! 👀
Literally a half hour after putting that post up on Sunday saying no signs of baby etc blah blah blah, Laurens waters then broke! 😅
Isla Bryce Gorman joined us later that night ❤️

Lauren & Isla doing as well as can possibly be, just Mirren that’s timed it perfect in getting loaded with a nasty bug and being the unwell one 😥

No walks for the rest of the week, I think I’ve text the majority by now to let you know. Will give you an update come the weekend to when I’ll be back out with the pups! 😊🐶👶🏼

Morning all! 🐶😃
10 of the best from last weeks walks! ❤️ (sorry if your pup didn’t make the cut, tell them to smile more for this weeks set 😂)

Still no baby appearance so I should be out as normal this week! 🦮
A reminder that the price increase I had text everyone about comes into place as of this week I’m afraid 🙈

Afternoon all! 👋

Been a while since I even posted any of the pictures/videos other than the usual daily stories! It becomes a tad time consuming trying to go through the hundreds of pics I snap away each walk and most are just blur trying to capture them all 😅 Will try get back into a routine of doing a weekly round up! 😃

Also while you’re all here still reading hopefully, with Lauren’s due date in 2 weeks and meaning she can go anytime now I may have to cancel walks last minute! The majority of you work from home these days so I know they won’t be stuck inside all day but for the ones that aren’t then let me know this week if you want some help to find another walker for the week or 2 that I’ll be taking off! 👶🏼🐶

04/12/2022

To save me sending out 30 odd texts it’s easier to post my Christmas holidays, I’ll be doing my last walk on Friday 23rd and be back on Wednesday the 4th January 🎅⛄️ If anyone needs anything in between then and can’t get cover, just drop me a message and I’m sure I’ll happily still take your dug out 😊

Sorry again to anyone I had to cancel on last week since the van gave up on us once again 🙃
New van is getting picked up late Tuesday afternoon and will be good to go for Wednesday, hopefully this 1 doesn’t decide to go through 5 turbos in 3.5years 😅
Book in as normal for this week please and if I’m too busy since using the car Mon & Tues I’ll let you know 😃

We’re pleased to announce that our Nae Fireworks Night event is returning this year on Saturday 5th of November!
https://www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/whitelee-events-and-clubs

If you’re looking for somewhere quiet to get away and walk your dog(s), in the company of other like-minded owners, then Whitelee Windfarm is the place for you. The Whitelee Countryside Rangers, Whitelee Visitor Centre and ScottishPower Renewables staff will be on site to run the event and do our very best to maintain a firework-free zone - although please understand this can never be fully guaranteed! We recommend that dogs are kept on leads during the event.

Whitelee Windfarm Visitor Centre will be open to dogs, and owners, for hot drinks and cake from 6-9pm - don't forget to bring your re-usable cup to receive a discount off your hot drink and help us reduce our waste.

As always – spread the word that fireworks are not permitted at Whitelee windfarm. They pose a danger to site infrastructure, can cause peatbog fires, and cause distress to the site's wildlife and livestock, as well as visitors…so please don’t bring them.

I think I’ve now text all customers about 2 of the group having kennel cough and numerous others having symptoms! 😩🤦‍♂️

Most dogs seem to just be sneezing and not much coughing going on thankfully! 🤞
Group walks are cancelled 2moro and just doing individual walks for owners that are out all day.
I’m off wed-fri for the wedding we’re going to so I will report back over the weekend for what I’m going to do for walks next week and hopefully the virus runs it’s course and we can all get back to normal soon enough! 😩😃

Keep me updated how all your pups are please! 😊

25/09/2021

5 years today of having my best friend in my life 😍
Happy gotcha day little one! ❤️🐶

03/09/2021

Lauren got me the new GoPro as an early birthday gift this week, no better way to test it out than stick the chest harness on Annie and get some dogs eye footage of them all 😍🙌

Going to try get it fitted properly on Lola for when I’ve got a full group out next week and record all the close up carnage 😁📷

24/08/2021

It’s the 2 year official anniversary of PawsAboard today! 🥳

Perfect sunny day to celebrate it along with a photo shoot up the top field! 📸 might of took about 50 attempts but we got there eventually! 🤪

A massive thanks to all my customers for sticking with me over the last tough year that’s it been for everyone! 😃
2 years in and it’s still the best job in the world! ❤️

15/08/2021

Time to get back to the dug walking I guess! 🤪🐶

An unreal few weeks off with the wedding & honeymoon but certainly missing all the dogs now! 😩 A huge thanks for all the well wishes and gifts, your all far too kind! 😊
Currently sitting doing the diary so if you’ve not yet dropped me a message with any days needed out with your usual days then send me a text please!
Looking forward to seeing everyone over the next few days! 👋😃

06/08/2021

Lola & Lucy on there holidays over the weekend 🙌❤️

20/07/2021

HOT WEATHER POST! 🥵🐶

Also just a reminder even though I think I’ve text all customers that I’ll be taking 2 weeks off for our wedding/honeymoon from August 2nd and resuming again August 16th 😃

17/07/2021

When you’ve got a wedding speech to write and it’s too warm for a walk to tire these 2 pests out, dug treat ice blocks it is 🤷‍♂️👀 Hopefully amuses them for a few hours peace + quiet 🙈

22/06/2021

After saying to everyone that I’m full and not taking on any new customers I’m going to make 1 exception and taking on 1 new member to join our walks, coming late December myself and Lauren get to welcome mini Gorman to the world ❤️👶🏼

Lola’s not so sure of what her new role of being big sister involves yet 🤔🙈🐶

11/06/2021

Can you tell I had no dogs booked in this afternoon and had too much time on my hands to mess about with the camera this morning? 👀🤪❤️

08/06/2021

New fans just arrived! 🙌

Adjustable also so can blast into any cage depending who’s panting hardest after each walk with this weather! 🥵

Says we have 6 hours battery life at a high setting so i’ll keep them running while we’re out in the fields so the dogs aren’t coming back to a furnace of van 😃

16/04/2021

Friday AM photo shoot up the farm! 📸

That 1 with the 4 of them somehow only took 2 attempts and only a few treats dished out 🤷‍♂️😁

16/04/2021

Sun and blue sky’s for the Thursday AM group! 😍🐶

13/04/2021

It wouldn’t be a happy walk for Buddy if he wasn’t dragging me down the hill to the river for a dip 💁‍♂️ So down and in we went! 😂

Wee Franco has settled in brilliantly the last week, just wants everyone to be his friend even if does mean him knackering himself out that much that he just wants to lie upside down 🤷‍♂️❤️
