Hooves Paws & More - Normandy

15/08/2024

Hooves Paws and More Normandy 19/10/1999 to 15/08/2024.
A wonderful ‘almost’ 25 years of walking and talking with incredible dogs and owners. I have been so lucky.
Many dear friends made, so it’s really not goodbye.
Thank you ❤️

Just a few highlights … there have been so many!

Time to say bye bye to my beloved ‘Betty’ van. I have the best cleaning assistants 😍.
She’s been an absolute Trojan over the past 12 years …. And will go on to do many more years I’m sure, once the gremlin in her gearbox is ‘removed’.
She will be going up for sale this weekend with a full years MOT, if anyone is interested please contact me. Signwriting and ‘eau de dog’ will be removed. Price will reflect the gearbox fault (which is fully rectifiable). She is a 2.5 T5 Transporter with 167k on the clock, automatic gearbox.

What a week of sunshine …. and snuffles … not all bad as the hammock has been a great recovery space! We did manage an early morning walk each day and embraced any form of shade, long grasses, stinky bogs (not that I could smell a thing!) and over grown paths.
Thank you everyone for wonderful flexibility ensuring that everybody stayed safe.
Cooler and less snots next week 🤞😊

Great day dog walking in the mountains 😍🤣

Great to get some sun on our backs …some even thought it was warm enough for a dip! Found the best woods this week for games of hide and seek.

Happy Friyay!
That was a week of broken vans, big vans, sunshine, dodging hailstones and jumping for joy dogs!

11/04/2024

There’s been a lot of ‘zoomies’ this week … and then there was me who didn’t have a ‘twin’ on this mornings walk!

Extra lovely to have all of our convalescing dogs back this week who aren’t allowed to return to zoomies yet, thankfully they were on the ‘chill out’ walks!

Checking out our hedgerows - it should be a good sloe gin year!!!!!

Raindrops on noses ….. not so many whiskers on kittens!

To all those who did a sunshine dance - dance harder! With a tree coming down and our fields are so sodden that we have moved some walks into the woods this week … the dogs didn’t complain, they thoroughly enjoyed embracing new sniffs 😀.

22/02/2024

I think this sums up the week! Please can we all do a sunshine dance over the weekend? I’m out of dry coats and shoes… and believe me I have more than most people!

14/02/2024

With the farm dog walking fields on the brink of being a bog, we ventured into the woods for second walk today. Much fun was had ‘walking the plank’, log jumping and exploring dens 😀🐕🦮🐾

The Happy Mondays 😍

09/02/2024

Only a few from this week …I may have been hiding in my raincoat but these little guys don’t mind the rain 😍
Half term next week … please don’t forget to cancel if you are off with the kids!
Mr Diddles knows where it’s warm dry and cozy 😻

07/02/2024

Not any of my lovely charges thankfully …. But we have been advised us of a suspected Alabama rot case in a dog that has been walked at Ceasars camp. There are also confirmed cases from Pirbright. It is probably best to avoid these areas and pleased be assured that I do not walk in either of these areas.

It is recommended that legs and paws are rinsed off if being walked in muddy woodland areas, and if you see any ulcerative skin lesions please be seen by a vet asap.

I think I have captured everybody this week …. It’s been busy busy busy. Photo overload as phone stayed in warm pocket last week.
Happy dogs, happy dog walker 😀
Sending lots of love to those with a sick note …. Can’t wait until you are on 4 paws again 😘

Lovely first week back and no rain!! Frosty starts and a bit of sunshine thrown in too… note dogs hogging the sunny side. Happy dogs, sunbathing cats and fluffy ponies plus clients/mates with a sense of humour … happy Friday peeps 😀

Brrrrr 🥶 at times …. But lovely sunlight too. Even a few flakes of snow on our last walk today … feeling festive ❄️⛄️
A few pics of the week, when hands not firmly wedged in warm pockets. The ponies have grown full winter floofs, keeping themselves toasty 💕
