😔Flipping Disgusting!

If you love home renovations, you’ve probably heard of house flipping—buy it cheap, do it up, and sell for a profit. But have you heard of rubbish flipping? No? Let me explain…

Some absolute gems decided to ‘flip’ their renovation waste straight into Littlemoor Park. A full bath, cement, insulation, flooring, carpet, beer cans, and… nappies?! Classy. But here’s the best bit: amongst the debris was an A4 sheet with the names Abi and Shannon, asking for more Facebook likes and followers while dreaming about a TUI cruise. Ladies, I hate to break it to you, but this is not the kind of content that gets engagement… well, not the good kind anyway.

❤️A huge thank you to John Crossley from Crossleys Roofing for stepping up and clearing a lot of this mess. The world needs more people like John—and fewer like Abi and Shannon.

Let’s keep our parks beautiful, not turned into DIY dumps!

🐾The 21st Century Dog: A Modern Tragedy🐕

Once upon a time, dogs had jobs. Serious jobs.

The Border Collie? Bred to herd sheep across vast landscapes—now herding toddlers around the coffee table.

The Labrador? A working gun dog, retrieving game from icy waters—now retrieving the remote from under the sofa.

The Dachshund? A fierce badger hunter—now struggling to get up the stairs after one too many biscuits.

The German Shepherd? A loyal guardian—now nervously watching the doorbell camera while their owner orders another takeaway.

Fast forward to today, and these once powerful, intelligent, driven creatures have been reduced to… well, lead-shuffling, sofa-surfing, treat-demanding divas. Exercise? Only if it's a slow lap around the park. Mental stimulation? If whining at the fridge counts.

And behaviour? Let’s just say a dog that was once brave enough to face a wild boar now has a meltdown if their human dares to leave the room.

We owe our dogs more than this. Let them run. Let them sniff. Let them be dogs. Because deep down, beneath the extra kilos and the attitude, there’s still a working dog just waiting for the chance to shine.

🚨 Attention Halifax Dog Owners! 🚨

We've received reports of a recent outbreak of canine parvovirus (parvo) in the Halifax area. Parvo is a highly contagious and often fatal virus that affects dogs, particularly unvaccinated puppies.

Symptoms to Watch For:

Severe, often bloody, diarrhoea

Vomiting

Loss of appetite

Lethargy or weakness

Fever

If your dog exhibits any of these signs, contact your veterinarian immediately. Early intervention is crucial for the best chance of recovery.

Preventative Measures:

Vaccination: Ensure your dog is up-to-date with their parvovirus vaccinations. Puppies should receive their initial vaccines followed by regular boosters as advised by your vet.

Hygiene: Avoid areas known to be contaminated and practice good hygiene after handling other dogs.

Awareness: Be cautious when socialising puppies or unvaccinated dogs, especially in public spaces.

Parvovirus can survive in the environment for extended periods, making it essential to maintain vigilance even in familiar areas.

Let's work together to keep our canine companions safe. Please share this information with fellow dog owners in Halifax and consult your veterinarian for more details on protecting your pet.

Stay safe, Halifax! 🐾

🚨 The Poo Fairy Strikes Again! 🚨

Out for a lovely stroll with my three dogs, I somehow ended up picking up FOUR already bagged piles of poo that had been left behind in the field. Now, either my dogs have mastered teleportation, or some people genuinely believe in the mythical Poo Fairy—you know, the one that magically removes neatly tied bags of 💩 from the countryside.

🚫 Spoiler alert: SHE DOES NOT EXIST. 🚫

Abandoned poo bags aren’t just an eyesore—they’re dangerous to cattle 🐄 and horses 🐎! If you can bag it, you can bin it or take it home. Leaving them behind is like wrapping a little toxic present 🎁 and expecting nature to deal with it.

So, let’s all do our bit and keep the fields safe for everyone! And if you see the real Poo Fairy, tell her she owes me a favour! 😉

🌿🐾 Small Group Walk Adventures with Shiva & Tess! 🐾🌿

What a lovely stroll today with Shiva and Tess! These two had a fantastic time exploring together, sniffing out all the best scents and enjoying the fresh air. Tess kept things lively with her playful energy, while Shiva made sure no interesting smells went unnoticed!

We found some great spots to pause, take in the views, and, of course, enjoy some well-earned treats. Nothing beats a peaceful walk with happy dogs and wagging tails!

Looking forward to more adventures with these two soon! 💛🐶

Zeus' Journey from "What is Play?" to "I Am the Keeper of the Ball"

When we rehomed Zeus on Boxing Day, we quickly realised he had no idea how to play. Balls? No clue. Toys? Meh. Fetch? Absolutely not.

Fast forward a couple of months, and look at him now—chasing after the ball like a pro, proudly carrying it back… and then refusing to let go. We’ve mastered the "fetch" part, but "drop it" is still very much a work in progress. Apparently, once the ball enters Zeus' mouth, it becomes his forever.

At this rate, we’re either getting a second ball or preparing for negotiations involving treats, bribery, and possibly a written contract. But hey, progress is progress!

POV: You take a dramatic tumble, questioning all your life choices, but your furry coworkers rush in like a team of overenthusiastic paramedics—zero medical training, 100% emotional support.

One’s checking my pulse (by standing on my chest), another’s licking my face like I’m a giant human ice cream, and at least two are using my downfall as an opportunity for a group cuddle. Honestly, if love could heal, I’d be invincible by now.

Moral of the story? Fall down, get back up… covered in fur, slobber, and paw prints. 10/10 best response team ever.

REVIEW: Feandrea Waterproof Dog Blankets

Life-Saving Waterproof Dog Blankets! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can’t recommend these blankets enough! I have both the XXL and ###L sizes and currently own eight of them to cover my floors and sofas. My German Shepherd, Shiva, has cancer and is incontinent, so having truly waterproof protection is essential—and these blankets deliver!

They are amazingly soft, genuinely waterproof, and huge. The ###L easily covers my four-seat sofa, providing full protection. They also wash and dry brilliantly—they go straight in the washing machine and tumble dryer with no issues.

If your dog is prone to accidents, these blankets are a lifesaver. I wouldn’t be without them!

I bought mine on Amazon, and have kept looking out for discounts and price drops, there are two colours, grey and brown, if you're not fussy, one is always cheaper than the other.

Rescuing dogs is one of the hardest but most rewarding things you can do. These pups often come from rough backgrounds—abandonment, neglect, or even abuse—but with love and patience, they blossom into the most loyal, loving companions.

But here’s the heartbreaking truth 💔🐾: Every day, 21 dogs in the UK are put to sleep simply because they have no home. 😢🐶

There are too many dogs and not enough homes. If you’ve ever considered adopting, fostering, or even just supporting a rescue, please do! You could be the reason a dog gets a second chance at happiness. 🏡❤️

Let’s work together to give these dogs the love they deserve! 🐾💕
