Happy 13th Birthday in heaven, handsome boy 🌈

What I wouldn’t give for one more cuddle with you 🩵

30/07/2025

One whole year since you had to leave us. You are so loved and so missed. Every. Single. Day. ❤️‍🩹

Our darling boy 🩵 🌈

Happy 11th Birthday - your first up there at Rainbow Bridge - my sweet, sweet boy 🌈

I miss you more than you could ever possibly know ❤️‍🩹

Six years of our house being ruled over by Mabel.... happy gotcha day! 🧡 (though she now has to share her dictatorship with a small human tyrant and is happy to take a step back and be ever-so-slightly less demanding! 😂)

Ps. I’ll take you to the beach for zoomies as soon as there is sun forecast ☀️ we all know gremlins can’t be exposed to rain! 🤣

20/06/2025

I’m sure we’ve all seen the weather forecast for today/tomorrow - it’s not even 10am and it’s HOT 🔥

You know the drill folks….Make sure clean fresh water is available at all times, and pups have access to cool areas of the house out of direct sunlight. Remember, no dog ever died from missing a walk….

I’ll list some of the activities Mabel will be doing below 👇🏻 hopefully give you some inspiration for fun ways to tire your pup when exercise is limited! Whatever you do over the next few days, please keeps your pups safe 💙

Cheap and easy ideas:
- using a box and scrunched up paper (eg. When you get an amazon delivery, use the box and brown paper inside) and chuck a handful of dry food in for snuffling
- handful of dry food (or some chopped up smelly treats) chucked in the grass in a shaded area
- get a towel, handful of food, roll towel up a bit, another handful, roll again....pup has to unroll the towel to access the food
- use an old yoghurt pot, or similar (I use cheap plastic pots from the B&M picnic range!) to freeze some food/treats in some water to make an ice cube for licking at (helps to get some extra fluids in too!)

Some toys to help with enrichment:
Kong, snuffle mat, lickimat. There’s lots of other treat dispensing toys on amazon/pets at home, but those are the three things I’ve purchased that I use the most. Snuffle mats work best for dried food/treats, Kongs and Lickimats are better for wet dog food/plain yoghurt/peanut butter/baby food (avoid anything with onions!) etc.

More interactive:
Teach some tricks? Basic stuff like putting their front paws up on a little stepladder, “touch” where they have to press their nose to your hand, “middle” where they come in between your legs while standing (this can come in handy as part of recall too), or you could go more elaborate and teach a roll over!

As always, please tweak any activities to suit your own pet (eg. if they eat cardboard, the snuffle box probably isn’t for them!) and supervise your dog when trying any new toys or equipment, especially for the first time.

Any questions, just ask 😊

Have fun and stay safe! 🐶

2024: the year I became a mummy to a baby who didn’t have four legs and fur 😂

It’s been a whirlwind of a year, Gabriella has certainly made her impact and changed our lives beyond measure (and reminded us why people don’t usually wait til they are our age to have a baby…. 👵🏻 👴🏻 the aches and pains! 😂) Can’t wait to see what 2025 brings as our girl grows 🥰 we’ve had our sad times this year, losing Louis ❤️‍🩹 but remain thankful for a decade of memories with him, and him getting to meet his baby sister (who he absolutely adored ❤️) Overall, we consider ourselves incredibly lucky, and hope to take that good fortune into 2025 🤞🏻

Happy New Year to you and yours when it comes 🎉

love from Claire, Graeme, Gabriella & Mabel ###

🌈 Happy “gotcha” day! 🌈

2nd December 2012, the day life as we knew it changed forever, and in the best possible way 💙

Fireworks season is upon us 💥

Please try and follow the advice attached, from Dog’s Trust, and keep your dogs safe indoors. When they do go outside (if they are willing to do so, please don’t force them if they are reluctant, cleaning up a toilet accident is a small price to pay not to break your dog’s trust in you 💛 ) make sure your garden is completely secure; if not, they should be on a well-fitted collar/harness (not loose enough for them to back out of!) and leashed. They should also be wearing an identity tag with up-to-date contact details.

Where walks aren’t an option and you need to entertain pups….. Cheap and easy ideas:
- using a box and scrunched up paper (eg. When you get an amazon delivery, use the box and brown paper inside) and chuck a handful of dry food in for snuffling
- handful of dry food (or some chopped up smelly treats - Mabel is a fan of some very finely grated cheese! 🧀 ) chucked on the floor. Gives my floor a clean too! 😂
- get a towel, handful of food, roll towel up a bit, another handful, roll again....pup has to unroll the towel to access the food
- use an old yoghurt pot, or similar (I use cheap plastic pots from the B&M picnic range!) to freeze some food/treats in some water to make an ice cube for licking at (maybe pop a towel down for this one to soak up any melting liquid!)

Some toys to help with enrichment:
Kong, snuffle mat, lickimat. There’s lots of other treat dispensing toys on amazon/pets at home, but those are the three things I’ve purchased that I use the most. Snuffle mats work best for dried food/treats, Kongs and Lickimats are better for wet dog food/plain yoghurt/peanut butter/baby food (avoid anything with onions!) etc.

Licking is a calming behaviour that releases feel good endorphins, so always worth a try for reducing stress levels 😌

Just do whatever your doggy needs to feel safer 🧡 If your dog does unfortunately manage to escape, please don’t hesitate to contact me, and I will come immediately to help search! 🐶

Ten years ago, we brought a little baby Louis home, in a wash basin with a blanket in it! 😂 💙
He was the cutest puppy, little chubby rolls 🥰 so lucky to have had almost-10-years with him.
The bestest boy.

Happy gotcha day, Lou Lou 🌈 xx

Three years now since we had to say goodbye to you. Still loved and missed every single day. Our house is so very different without you and your brother. We know you’re both close by though, we see the little robins you send to visit us ❤️‍🩹

Our lovely boy 💜 🌈
