🐾 Meet Penny, the spaniel with BIG determination and an even BIGGER stick! 💥🌳

She saw it. She wanted it. She dragged it for miles like a champ.

Stick size? Questionable.

Ambition? Unlimited.

🐾 FOUND: Dog Leads in Townsend’s Car Park! 🐾

I’ve just picked up two dog leads that were left behind in Townsend’s car park. I’ve popped them on the post near where they were found - hopefully easy to spot!

If they’re yours (or you know who they might belong to), come and grab them! 🐶✨

Please share to help them find their way home!

🦋 Ever seen butterflies huddled on the ground and wondered what they’re up to?

It’s called mud-puddling, and no - it’s not just a butterfly brunch date. 😄

They’re actually soaking up essential nutrients like sodium and minerals from soil, mud, even (brace yourself) dung or sweat. Nectar doesn’t give them everything they need, especially male butterflies, who use these minerals to boost fertility - and even pass them on to females during mating!

💧 It’s also a handy way to stay hydrated in hot weather.

And why the group hangout?
👀 Safety in numbers - more wings, fewer worries about predators.
🧭 Shared smarts - one finds a good spot, the others follow.

Nature’s version of a pop-up mineral bar! 🌿🦋

🌟 Update at 11.30am, 24th June: Good news! We're pleased to share that the cow struck by a vehicle on Thursday night near Hollies car park has been located. She was found with about 30 of her herd mates at Friends Clump yesterday. She's been given an anti-inflammatory and will be taken in for further assessment shortly.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who has been out looking and shared this appeal! 🙏

‼️ URGENT ‼️

⚠️If you're out walking or riding in the permanently-fenced enclosure on the South Chase today, we need your help please! 🙏

We are looking for a black Aberdeen Angus cow that was sadly hit by a car last night. She might be in a herd and look lame, or she might be on her own, possibly lying down. The last three digits on her ear tag are 589. If you see her, please note the What3Words location (or be able to describe your location as best as possible) and get in touch with us via 01342 823583 and select option 7.

She was last seen just south of Hollies car park heading in the direction of the Airman's Grave.

We will update this post with news as we have it. Thank you!

One of our teammates spotted the Love Bus in the car park today… even though we weren’t there. 🐾🚗

Apparently, he trotted straight over and gave it a good sniff… clearly checking for signs of life (or snacks 😂).

Dogs NEVER forget their people! 💙

Missed you too, buddy. 🐶✨

Fuelled by a love of animals and a desire to be in control of her work-life, Zita set up Pet Patrol 365 in 2003 after a successful career in marketing and insurance tending to the interests of the ultra rich, celebrities and successful entrepreneurs.

Providing rural adventures on the glorious Ashdown Forest, Zita specialises in gun dog breeds (pet or trained) that are akin to a healthy, stimulating and outdoor lifestyle. She also caters to her exclusive feline clientele who enjoy 5 star luxury cat care in the comfort of their own homes. All the pet care solutions are tailor-made and delivered with a personal touch to meet the specific requirements of each client.

Zita says: “I have been a pet professional for over 16 years, and have developed a deep understanding of animals. I have a passion for problem-solving, and a commitment to excellence. My multi award winning business is small and personal, exclusive yet approachable.
