🐿️🦆Sandy spent her afternoon watching the squirrels and the ducks. The squirrels made her go into full meerkat mode, whereas the ducks made her a bit more chilled. 🦆🐿️
🍂 It was quite lovely to enjoy the peace and quiet and just stand and watch the wildlife. 🍂
💦 While we were down by the water, she even met her twin! A slightly older version of her whose fur had become a bit darker with age. I wonder if Sandy's fur will stay as bright? 💦
Lots of love,
Kelly

💙🩷 Sushi was back with us today, so we kept it short and sweet to ease him back in. It was lovely to see him and he was super affectionate today! 🩷💙
🌧️ It was just unfortunate that he joined us on a cold, wet and miserable morning! 🌧️
Lots of love,

😂 Another evening of being Miss Ellie's food slave! She brushes around my legs while I make her food, then as soon as her belly is happy, she wanders off! At least this time she stuck around to watch through the window! 😂

🍂 I feel like Woody was just made for autumn, or was autumn made for Woody? Just look at the gorgeous colour of his coat against the leaves! 🍂
⚽ He still wouldn't look at the camera, but his mum says he loves a ball, so perhaps I'll give that a try next time! ⚽
🥰 Today we took the time to have some mid-walk cuddles while it was quiet. That's the beauty of a rainy day, our walking places are empty🥰
Lots of love,
Kelly

🌈 Every cloud has a silver lining. 🌈
🌧️ Milo was all excited for his walk this morning, until we reached the door and he saw the weather. We ran to the car and usually, I have to help Milo into the car. But today, thanks to the rain, he jumped straight in. Has he been playing me for all this time? Can he actually get in all by himself, but chooses to let me do the hard work for him? 🙈
😆 As you can see from the photos, there were no gorgeous Milo smiles today. Was he really that upset about getting his fur wet? 😆
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
😂 The first photo says it all! 😂
🐈⬛The cheeky little madam had her daily dose of tickles, filled her belly and then disappeared outside for a bit of fresh air. This girl definitely knows what she wants! 🐈⬛
Lots of love,

💙 Woody has his first Woofin' Wander so I took Woody to the woods (I'm sorry, I couldn't help that one. I know, don't give up my day job, right? 😂)
⭐ He was so amazing at his 'sit' and 'wait', especially when dogs were approaching us or we were crossing the road. ⭐
🌿 He loved exploring and sniffing everything and we even did a bit of off-roading into the trees. 🌿
😂 He was pretty confused when a squirrel chucked something down from the trees and we heard the thud! 😂
🙈 I'm thinking he may be a bit camera shy, he'll sit and pose for photos but won't look at the camera. I think I'm going to have to employ my camera ninja skills on this dude! 🙈
🥰 I can't wait to get to know you better! 🥰
Lots of love,
Kelly

🐈⬛ This week I have the pleasure of some more visits with Miss Ellie. 🐈⬛
🥰 She always comes to greet me when I arrive, then relishes all the pre- and post- dinner tickles. 🥰
😅 She's hard to get a decent photo of though, she moves too quickly! 😅
Lots of love,
Kelly

🩵 Woody 🩵
🥰 Welcome to our Woofin' family! 🥰
🩷 This week Mochi met Sandy and it was an all girls wander. 🩷
🐶 Funnily enough, they've both had their haircuts this week too! Mochi looks tiny!! 🐶
🐾 They wandered along happily, side by side, with only the occasional moment of madness! 😂
🥰 Not forgetting the two little sausage dogs who we met at the start of our wander, they all seemed to get on really well. 🥰
🌿 Then to finish off, Sandy had an extra wander once Mochi had gone home. She's a lucky pup! 🌿
Lots of love,
Kelly

💦 We had a fantastic walk today on our riverside route, even stopping by the water to take a few deep breaths and relax. 💦
🐶 We met Jenni from Happy dog dog walking, who made sure to tell us how handsome Milo is. He wanted to play with her dogs so much that he tried putting his whole head through the fence! 🐶
🥰 It was lovely to chat to a fellow dog walker. 🥰
⭐ Then we passed a few groups of dogs and Milo was such a good boy, sitting and waiting patiently for them to pass. ⭐
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
💦 Our riverside walk was blocked by a large group of dog today, so went for a route in the opposite direction. 💦
🌿 We ended up walking through field after field and they all looked the same, so I had to really pay attention to where we were walking. 🌿
😂 I probably needed to leave us a trail of breadcrumbs, but I have a feeling Milo would have eaten them! 😂
😘 After our walk, he was feeling super snuggly and put his head on my shoulder for a big cuddle. Such a gorgeous boy! 😘
Lots of love,
Kelly

🐶 We finished off the week with another double walk for Miss Sandy. 🐶
🔥 On our first walk there was a bonfire in one of the nearby gardens, Sandy could hear it and smell it but she looked a little confused because she couldn't see it. 🔥
🐿️ On our second walk, Sandy kept standing deadly still in the trees, listening to the squirrels scurrying around. There were millions of them!! 🐿️
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
🐶 It was a busy afternoon for Miss Sandy, with two walks! 🐶
🐾 We started off with a wander around Black Bear Park where she came across cyclists, prams, children and even a helicopter! 🐾
💦 Then we had a little water and snack break to recharge, before heading to our second walk at Parr's Wood. 💦
🌳 The second walk was much quieter though we did see a huge number of squirrels. I think I saw 4 within the first 5 minutes of our walk. Luckily Sandy's eyes aren't as sharp as mine and she only seemed to notice one or two of them. 🐿️
Lots of love,
Kelly

🛶 Milo was loving the canoes today. We spent most of our walk alongside the river so that he could watch them row past us. One of the canoes had a couple of young boys in it, who shouted "Hello!" up to us. 🛶
💦 Judging by the number of attempts to climb down the embankments, I'm pretty sure Milo was dying to get in the water with them. Not today dude! 💦
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
🐈⬛ This bank holiday I had the pleasure of another set of visits to the lovely Miss Ellie. 🐈⬛
🐾 This time she was cone-of-shame-free and was allowed to go outside. 🐾
😅 On our first visit, I was in danger of becoming her food slave. I just about managed a couple of tickles before she ate her food and darted out the cat flap! 🥰 Our second visit was much more welcoming, she stayed around for lots of tickles and that's when I noticed that she has the softest fur ever!! I need to buy whatever shampoo she's using! 😂
🙈 For our final visit, she was already outside so I was definitely her food slave! I hope it was the tastiest food you've ever eaten Ellie, it was made with lots of love! 😁
P.S I still didn't have a cup of tea while I was there Mandy 🙈
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
🌿 I think we may have explored every last inch of Lymm Dam this afternoon! We wandered up and down all the little paths and went for a nosey on the jetties. 🌿
🐾 Perhaps there was something in the air because Sandy was channeling Milo's need for off-roading. She was leading me down all sorts of embankments, I'm thankful she didn't feel the need for a swim too, that could have been a sight! 💦
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
😄 Milo was curious about everything this morning. He climbed over a stile to go and see a couple who were taking professional photos. 😄
🐶 Then he realised that they had a tiny spaniel with them and he just HAD to say hello! 🐶
💦 We then opted for a route that took us along the river, so Milo found an opening in the trees and went to take in the view. Thankfully he knew not to climb down the bank! 💦
🙈 On the way back, there was a perfectly good path (which I took), but he decided to go straight through the muddiest patch possible! I told him he had 20 minutes left to clean his paws and somehow, he did! 🙈
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
😂 This is the face of a little boy who's been limping around the house and leading his parents to believe that something's wrong. 😂
🐾 It turns out, he was happy as Larry, trotting around for the full hour without a care in the world. No carrying him or cutting his walk short needed! 🐾
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
🌿 Little Miss Sandy finished off the week with a morning house visit and an afternoon stroll in the woods. 🌿
💦 She even took herself off the path and towards the water today, having a good sniff and checking out the pipes in the ground. 💦
😘 It was the perfect welcome to the weekend. 😘
Lots of love,
Kelly

🛶 So it turns out that Herbie hates canoes. 🛶
Right at the end of a very calm and peaceful walk, a man came behind us with a bright yellow canoe and Herbie wouldn't take his eyes off it.
😘 The man was really lovely and put his canoe down to show Herbie that it was okay, but that didn't please Herbie either. Even once we'd got back to the car, Herbie was still staring at the canoe through the window. 😘
🤞🏻 Hopefully next time we see one, he'll remember that the canoe didn't cause him any harm. 🤞🏻
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
😂 Mr Milo was on top teenager form at the start of our walk today! 😂
🐶 First he lay down because he wanted to say hello to a dog, then he lay down again because he wanted to see another dog. Finally he did it a third time to say hello to a lady picking blackberries. 🐶
🙈 There's absolutely no moving him when he puts his stubborn head on! 🙈
🥰 It's a good job you're such a gorgeous, friendly boy Milo! Everyone wants to take you home with them! 🥰
🐾 To be fair to him, after the first eventful 15 mins, he was impeccably behaved. 🐾
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
🩷 I finished my day with the gorgeous Miss Sandy Pops. 🩷
🌿 We went to explore the woodlands where it was nice and cool and straight away, Sandy set to sniffing everything in sight, even coming nose to nose with a couple of other pups. 🌿
💦 She definitely wasn't interested in the water when we went to explore it, I'm kind of glad though because I didn't fancy a swim! 😅
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
😘 We were having such a lovely time this morning, that I completely forgot to take any photos! 😘
🐶 We started our walk by meeting a couple who had their 2 very soggy golden retrievers with them. They'd been for a swim. They told us all about how they were on their 5th set of retrievers and all of them had a sensitivity to lamb. 🐶
😅 Then we attempted some heel work, but Milo had the attention span of a small child. He was definitely there to stretch his legs & look cute today, and nothing else. 😅
🥰 We finished off with a massive drink of water and some snuggles at the car, where a passing dog walker told us how gorgeous Milo is. 🥰
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
🌿 It was quite busy on our wander this morning, but you know what, everyone wanted to stop and chat and give Sushi and Mochi lots of attention! 🐾
🥰 Everyone seemed to be in a really great mood, I wonder whether it's the sunshine effect? 🥰
😴 Even Sushi managed to stay on his feet this week, no lying down on the job! 😂
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
😄 Sandy says "Thank God it's Friday!" 😄
🌿 The poor little girl is still in heat, so she's had toilet visits and solo walks this week. She really seemed to enjoy her woodland wander this afternoon, there were so many new smells for her to sniff. 🌿
🥰 She's such a pretty girl and always makes me smile when she's trotting along and look back at me with her happy little face. 🥰
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
🥰 Reggie actually seems to be loving the solo walk life! I reckon he loves not having to share my attention! Just look at that gorgeous, happy face. 🥰
⚽ He's definitely not a fan of actually giving me the ball once he's fetched it, so today I just let him give it back to me in his own time. ⚽
😂 He soon realised that he can only run after it once he's actually given me the ball. 😂
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
😴 Sleepy Milo 😴
🤒 Milo was a little tired from his poorly ears today, so we aimed for a calm and gentle wander. 🤒
🐶 That was exactly what we got. The walk was very quiet today, like eerily quiet. Was something happening that I'd missed? Even the clang of the gates sounded quite deafening today! 🐶
🤓 Talking of gates, today I realised that Milo has worked out how to use them. The first few times that we tried to go through them, he couldn't quite figure out how to get a person & a dog around the gate. 🤓
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘
🐱 Babybel, Pumpkin & Axel 🐱
🥰 There really is no greater compliment than when a new customer books you a second time. 🥰
🐱 This week I'm back with Babybel, Pumpkin, Squeak and Axel...and the new kittens that Babybel has in her tummy. 🐱
😍 Babybel and Pumpkin were extra affectionate today, taking advantage of all the tickles. They seemed much calmer too! 😍
Lots of love,
Kelly

😭 Woofin' Wanders has officially closed for business. 😭
💔 It absolutely breaks my heart to type this post, but the time has come to close. Although the business is still absolutely thriving, this has become my only viable option. Believe me, if there was a way that I could make it work, I'd do it. 💔
🐶 Woofin' Wanders has been a massive part of my life, and a massive part of me for 4 years. I am so proud of myself for what I have achieved, and I'm beyond grateful for all of the people who have trusted me with their fur babies over the years. It's been an absolute pleasure and I've made some great friends along the way. 😘
⭐ As they say, "When one door closes, another one opens", so I'm here taking the risk, making massive decisions and keeping myself wide open to a lifetime of opportunities. ⭐
🥰 Please please continue to send me photos of my furry besties living their best lives. I will miss them immensely and be in dire need of my woofers fix. I'd love to even come for a sneaky walk and a cuddle some time! 🥰
Lots of love,
Kelly
🐶😘

🍂 Another really chilled afternoon with Sandy and Benji. 🍂 💦 Surprisingly, both of them went for a paddle in the water. I wish I'd had my phone ready to catch it when Sandy took herself off for a little run through the water, she looked so happy!! 💦 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🍂 A super chilled, but rather gloomy wander this morning. We only saw one other person during our walk, the lovely lady made sure to give both Sushi and Mochi plenty of fuss! 🥰 🐿️ At the end of our walk, two squirrels were playing chase across the floor, seemingly oblivious that we were there. Sushi and Mochi tried their best to play along with them and had me laughing out loud at them! They certainly brightened up my morning! 🐿️ Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
😽 Little Miss Dash's last visit got more playful as the minutes passed by. She started off a little timid, but by the end of her visit she was launching herself at her toys. 😽 😚 She's such good fun to play with! 😚 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🩷 A big welcome to this super cute little lady, Dash! It's such a privilege to look after a fellow dog walker's kitten while they have a little getaway. 🩷 🥰 Today we've just been getting to know each other, playing with her toys and letting her approach at her own pace. 🥰 💦 She was a little alarmed at the noise that my waterproofs make when I move. 💦 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🌧️ Me and Benji were so lucky this afternoon. We missed the strong winds and torrential downpour of hailstone by literally 30 seconds. It was quite something to watch it come through the trees. 🌧️ 🐾 Instead we had a lovely relaxed wander without a care in the world, just what we needed. 🐾 💦 Again I tried to avoid the water, but there was a pretty deep puddle right at the end of the walk, which Benji just HAD to drink from! 💦 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🩷 It feels like it's been ages, but Sandy is back with her friends! She even had a haircut to celebrate the occasion, and she looks beautiful! 🩷 💦 We stayed out of the water and the mud to try and keep Sandy clean so that her mum and dad could see her beautiful haircut. It didn't stop Benji though, he went up to his belly in some secret, muddy water! 💦
💙 Such a lovely afternoon with my boys! They were both on their best behaviour, just loving life in the sunshine with their buddy. 💙 🌞 We just relaxed and took our time, with the occasional stop for playtime. And of course, a little paddle stop to cool off their paws and have a little drink. 🌞 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
⭐ Milo was a superstar today, I think he was in mega concentration mode!! I was so impressed with him!! ⭐ 🍖 There was a big group of people sat having a BBQ and Milo was so focused on his treat that he didn't even notice them and walked straight past. 🍖 🧍🏻♀️🐶 Then there were a couple of kids with dogs behind us, I spotted them approaching and got Milo focused so that he didn't even notice them. 🐶🧍🏻♀️ 😍 It was a pleasure to walk you Milo. 😍 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🌳 We had a last minute change of location today so that we could shelter from the rain. 🌳 🌧️ We pretty much enjoyed an hour of Reggie running back and forth through muddy puddles and Benji following him a few seconds behind. 🌧️ 🐶 It was soggy doggies all round! 🐶 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🥰 Sushi wasn't up to a walk today, so Mochi came out with Benji instead. 🥰 🌧️ We got absolutely soaked during the first half of our walk but the poor little soggy doggies carried on plodding along. 🌧️ 😘 Mochi did so well with Benji today, she just took it in her stride and really enjoyed running alongside Benji. 😘 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🍂 Autumn is coming (say in Jon Snow's voice) 🍂 I just couldn't resist taking some photos in the autumn colours, after all, they do match Milo! Let's hope he doesn't camouflage in the coming months! 🐾 We did have such a lovely wander though, Milo really enjoyed getting his sniffer around all the new smells. He was very much off-roading, wandering into all the nooks and crannies and trying to take me into places where humans simply can't fit! 😂 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🐶 Benji had a wander with all of his favourite things today: water for a swim, long grass to roll in, open space to explore & of course, treats to gobble up! 🐶 🥰 I do love how, whenever we go round a corner, he always stops and looks back to make sure that I'm still following and he can see me. He's such a good pup! 🥰 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
😂 Reggie was calm today and Benji didn't fancy the water...these are strange times we're living in! 😂 🙈 We tried a bit of scent work and after they seemed so excited to go and sniff out the treats, they gave up after about 5 seconds. 🙈 😁 They did make up for it by making the most of the open space and chasing each other around, it's so lovely to watch them play together. 😁 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
💙 Oh I do love these two boys together. 💙 💦 Reggie was enjoying running through the stream today, whilst Benji climbed really high up on the hill and watched from above. Sort of like Lord Benji. 💦 ☀️ Then we all just took it easy and enjoyed a relaxing stroll in the sunshine, while it wasn't too warm.☀️ 🐿️ Then on the way back, Benji saw a squirrel running across our path, and I suddenly felt the full strength of Benji! Thank god Reggie didn't see it too!!🐿️ Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🥰 Happy Reggie 🥰 🌿 Reggie spent the whole walk just running around. He started off with a game of fetch, then ran up and down the trail paths, before finishing with another game of fetch. 🌿 ⭐ I have to say, when we bumped into some on-lead dogs, Reggie's recall was spot on!! Well done Reggie, I'm impressed! ⭐ 🐶 And last but not least, just as we were about to head home, we met a very friendly spaniel. They really liked each other and had a good game of chase around the field. It was surprising to see a doggy actually able to keep up with Reggie! 🐶 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🇲🇽 Benji's Mexican standoff 🇲🇽 😄 For most of Benji's walk today, I saw him running down the paths. He kept on either sitting down until I was way ahead of him, or disappearing into the bushes, just so that he could have a little run to catch up with me. 😄 🐶 We met the same dog (Rosie) on our walk twice today. On the second time, Rosie lay down and Benji sat down, a good 50m from each other, like some sort of doggy Mexican standoff. They only moved when Rosie's mum gave some fuss to Benji and Rosie simply wasn't having that! 😂 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
⭐ A Benji special ⭐ 🐶 It was just me and Benji this afternoon, so we went at Benji's pace. 🐶 🌿 He got chance to run along the paths, explore the woodlands, roll in the long grass and, the best bit, go for a swim. 💦 🥰 He was completely in his element and looked so happy! 🥰 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🥰 Benji Brain 🥰 😆 Benji was SUPER excited when I arrived today. I felt awful on him that we could only do a garden visit because it was far too hot for the little man. But safety always comes first. 😥 😁We still had loads of fun though; he used his sniffer to find the treat in the long grass, he played fetch (sort of, he doesn't bring it back) and then we even did some training on his sit and stay. 😁 🤓 He actually surprised me at how quickly he picked it up, considering he usually just flings himself at me when I ask him to sit and stay on a walk! Well done Benji! 🤓 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
🩷 Girls just want to have fun! 🩷 It was definitely a day for the girls today. First of all Mochi was all hyped up and then this afternoon, Sandy was absolutely bonkers! 😂 🤪 She had multiple zoomies and simply couldn't keep herself out of the water that she, not so long ago, hated. 💦 🐾 Benji wasn't really down for the crazies, he was happy to plod along and take a little paddle. Until at the end of the walk, his nose went from 0-100 and he couldn't stop sniffing the ground.🐾 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
💙 Boys' club 💙 🐶 Our afternoon was mostly made up of Benji wandering around at Benji speed and Reggie running round at the speed of light! 😂 💦 I intentionally took them for a walk without water but somehow, Benji managed to sniff it out! 💦 🌿 Even though it was hidden in the depths of a very bushy jungle! That's some nose he's got there! 🌿 Lots of love, Kelly 🐶😘
