Some people will say, “It’s just a dog,” but it’s not just a dog. A dog becomes your best friend, the one who’s always there when everyone else is too busy. They’re the comfort when life gets hard, the one who sits with you in your lowest moments without asking for anything in return. They’re the companion who makes you laugh after a long day, even when you don’t feel like smiling.

Your dog becomes your protector, always alert, always ready to keep you safe, even when you don’t realize it. They’re your walking partner, your daily reminder to step outside and breathe when the world feels overwhelming. They’re the keeper of your secrets, sitting by your side while you vent about things no one else will hear.

A dog can become your family, the constant in a world that changes too fast. They’re not just there for the good times, but for the moments when everything feels like it’s falling apart. They’re the one who looks at you with love, no matter what kind of day you’ve had. It’s never just a dog—it’s a piece of your heart, your companion in ways that words can never fully capture.

As most of you know, unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Shy at the beginning of this month, it’s been quite hard to finally write down and say out loud but she really did have the bestest life full of memories from pets and steps and prior to that she spent most of her summers with us on the beach at our little holiday home with our later Jack Russell Lulah. She lived a long life of close to 12 years, she was my best friend for many years, she made me realise my love for the outdoors and for that I will always be grateful to her and all the memories I share with her. Love you shy, rest easy 🖤

For one of the “wettest summers the uk has seen” we’re not doing too bad 😅🌞💚🐶

24/06/2024

With the sudden increase of sun (yay) 🌞🌞unfortunately this does mean I will be having to reschedule/shuffle around walking times and locations etc

My main priority will always be keeping the dogs safe but of course I will do my best to ensure we can still have as much as fun as possible and get out as much as possible therefore the following will be taken in account/action:

• Pick ups for our first walk will start at 7.30 am
• Pick ups for our second walk will start at 9.30am
• Ensuring dogs are home by mid day (before peak heat)

If necessary pop ins can be arranged for afternoons should pawrents be at work 🤓

• Lots of field sessions with shade and less hiking
• Woodland/shaded walks
• Water, lakes, pond walks (most likely for our second groups to account for travelling)

• I always carry water with me for dogs to drink as well soaking ears to keep cool

• Our van is airconditioned and wet towels will be used in crates instead of our usual fluffy bedding

• Should any of the dogs be struggling walks may be cut short

Thank you for understanding 🐶💚
