Hey everyone! I thought you might enjoy a sneak peek behind the scenes now that Iโ€™m back into my first week.

Monday-Thursday Highlights:

- Early cool and shady walks or indoor sand school sessions for ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ•
- Lots of cat feeding, including some nursing duties as the summer 'silly' season kicks in ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ
- Had to use hubbyโ€™s car due to some vehicle electrical issues, ensuring air conditioning for the team ๐Ÿš—โ„๏ธ

Wildlife and Furry Friends:

- Rescued a lively jackdaw that had fallen down a clientโ€™s chimney into their woodburner ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ”ฅ
- Dealt with a mouse a cat brought in ๐Ÿญ
- Spoke to a lovely potential client whoโ€™d like her dogs to join the team ๐Ÿ“…

My Daily Routine:

- Up at 04:45 and not home until 20:00 every day ๐ŸŒ…๐ŸŒ™
- Shower, supper, client catch-ups, prep for the next day, a bit of telly, bed, and repeat ๐Ÿ›Œ

Todayโ€™s Adventures:

- Sneaked in a 1-mile swim with my swim buddies at 6 AM ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ
- Followed by a feeding round and a six-monthly hygienist appointment ๐Ÿฆท

Iโ€™ve booked the sand school this week to keep safe ๐Ÿพ. With fresh running water ๐Ÿ’ง and plenty of cool sand to lie on or explore ๐Ÿ–๏ธ, itโ€™s a relaxing way to get a little exercise.

What a beautiful way to spend my last morning with before heading off on annual leave. The weather was perfect - gorgeous sunshine โ˜€๏ธ, a gentle breeze, and a blue sky full of powdery white clouds โ˜๏ธ. It couldnโ€™t have been better. Seeing the team so content makes me incredibly happy! ๐Ÿฉท

Have fun, love your pets ๐Ÿพ, and Iโ€™ll see you on Monday, 24th June 2024.

It's Random Act of Kindness Day, and I have a lovely story to share! During my morning walk, I came across a dog tag and tracker. I sent a message to the owner, and it turns out she had lost the tag a few days ago, having only used it twice. She was so relieved I found it! I dropped it off at the Ashdown Forest Visitor Centre's office, where she can pick it up.

Later, during our second walk, one of lost a dog collar. If anyone finds it, please pay it forward and call the number on the tag. Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

To top it all off, when I dropped a dog home, I found a bottle of wine for me with a note saying, "Thank you for always helping." How lovely! ๐Ÿฉท

So, on this Random Act of Kindness Day, what have you done for someone today? Or has someone done something kind for you? I'd love to hear about it in the comments.

Take care, everyone, and remember, kindness always pays. ๐Ÿ’–

๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ A few days ago, I witnessed the cutest moment - a little Bluetit fledging! This tiny bird took its first brave leap from the nest but soon tired and sat calling for its mum. As you've probably gathered from my page, I also post about nature - I'm a bit of a wildlife geek! There are always so many โ€˜firstsโ€™ to witness, and watching this fledgling flutter around and explore the world was genuinely heartwarming. Nature never ceases to amaze! ๐ŸŒธโœจ

๐Ÿ“ข Important Update on Stray Dog Protocols ๐Ÿ“ข

Wealden Council has updated their procedures for handling stray dogs. From now on, finders of stray dogs should not take them to veterinary practices. Instead, please contact Animal Wardens Ltd at 01424 490034. They will return your call within one hour and arrange to collect the dog within six hours.

While vets can still scan for microchips and attempt to contact the owner, if they can't reach them, YOUโ€™LL need to care for the dog until the warden collects it.

If youโ€™re concerned about this new policy, I encourage you to contact your local councillor and MP to express your views. What do you think about this change? Share your thoughts below!

You can read the letter sent to vets in Wealden in the comments.

Remember, the best way to ensure your pet is returned quickly is to have them microchipped with up-to-date details and have them wear a tag with your contact information.

Great news for pet owners: the Pet Abduction Bill officially became law on 24 May 2024! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿพ

Under the new Pet Abduction Act, stealing a dog or cat in England or Northern Ireland is a criminal offence, with offenders facing up to five years in prison, a fine, or both. This law recognises that pets are sentient beings who experience distress and emotional trauma when taken from their families.

With pet theft affecting thousands of dogs and cats yearly, this legislation protects our beloved pets. Plus, starting 10 June 2024, microchipping cats will be compulsory, making it easier to reunite lost or stolen pets with their owners.

Let's continue to safeguard our furry friends and ensure they stay safe and loved. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑโค๏ธ

Ooh, check out what I found!!!

Scientific name: Micrommata virescens ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ

Size: Females have a head and body up to 15mm; males up to 10mm.

Distribution: Found throughout most of the UK, this rare species is likely declining due to habitat loss. The majority of sightings occur in southern England. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Months seen: May to September. Males are generally sighted in summer. ๐ŸŒž

Habitat: Woodland, parks, gardens, heaths, and moorland. ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒพ

Food: Flies and other small invertebrates. ๐ŸฆŸ

Special features: Green Huntsman spiders have a bright green carapace and legs. Females have a bright green abdomen with a darker green stripe along the top, bordered in yellow. Males have a yellow abdomen with scarlet-coloured stripes. Both sexes have white circles around their six black eyes. ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ

Rather than chasing after their prey, these spiders wait for passing invertebrates and then pounce on them, hence the "Huntsman" name. ๐Ÿน

Weโ€™ve just finished the first walk, and we heard, watched, photographed, and even filmed a Cuckoo! I listen to them all the time but rarely see them. Such a treat!

I love the variety of my business! This morning started with helping Margotโ€™s owners work on her recall training, ensuring she responds reliably and happily ๐Ÿพ. Afterwards, I visited Ruskin, Maya, and Mango, providing them with a comfort break, engaging games, and checked in on the Soay sheep ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ.

I just got home, and I'm about to have lunch in the garden with Big G (my hubby, for those who haven't met him) ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿฅ—. This afternoon, I'll handle summer bookings and invoicing for my feline, rabbit, and guinea pig clients ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿน.

Later, Iโ€™ll have to choose between cleaning the car ๐Ÿš—, pottering in the garden with a cuppa โ˜•๏ธ, or sitting down with a good book and a glass of something naughty ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿท. Which one would you choose?!

Some potentially sad news from the bottom pond. ๐Ÿฅฒ

Last weekend, the Greylag geese welcomed six adorable goslings, and I was fortunate to watch, video, and photograph them on Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, they haven't been seen since then. I had hoped they were keeping cool among the reeds, but I fear the worst.

A mink was spotted a few days ago, and there's a resident fox who took the hen pheasant and her eggs off the nest, who could also be responsible.

While there are no signs of a struggle, it seems likely that the goslings have been taken and the adults have left.

Our Story

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: โ€œI 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. I write a local magazine called the Pet Patrol Post, host coffee mornings with the local vets and run a fun and friendly social walking group called Ashdown Unleashed. I owe a huge thanks to all my loyal clients for joining me on my journey and hope that they continue to be part of my story.โ€
