I can't quite believe I'm writing this. Less than a week on from losing Sunny, I had to say goodbye to my girl Skye yesterday.

My heart hurts. She was the most affectionate and loving girl I've ever met. I'm going to miss the shadow that followed me around the house, the girl that stuck to me like glue when we walked and the dead weight that lay on me on the couch and in the bed.
I'll miss being pinned to the couch as soon as I sat down for a sniff inspection to see where I'd been, followed by kisses and her face just resting on mine. That, I will miss the most.
I'll miss having to share my pillow with her and the cuddles I got in return.
The way she would lie with her face on mine for comfort and the need to be in constant physical contact with you.

She came to us a poor wee soul and I'd like to think that we gave her 8 months of love to try and compensate for the life she had before.
8 months of constant love and affection, roast dinners, endless ham, chicken and peanut butter. 8 months of never being left alone and cuddles.
8 months of beach adventures and fish suppers, meeting new friends and people falling in love with her.

8 months that she paid us back with constant unconditional love and affection.

A Christmas with presents and Christmas Dinner, and a part of our engagement.

I'm taking comfort in knowing that we done our best by our girl and that we gave her the best retirement home we could offer.
She inherited a brother in Trevor and a cousin in Sunny.

Peacefully, at around 11:15am on Sunday 11th Feb, she passed away in my arms with Steven by her side.

She has left a huge Skye shaped hole in my heart that will never be filled. A credit to her personality that she has me in bits after only 8 months with her.

Sleep tight my girl. You'll be forever loved and forever missed. My hearts been completely broken.

Late last night, we unfortunately said an unexpected goodbye to our boy Sunny.
We are absolutely devastated, as will his 4 legged friends at daycare be.
I don't have many words, but I'm sure you will join us in thinking of Rachel and sending love at this time to her.

Sleep tight Sunny Bunny ❤️🐾

As the year comes to an end, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers for their continued loyalty and support of a small local buisness.
We wouldn't be where we are without you and you're custom.
I'd also like to the time to thank everyone for the thoughtful gifts, cards, tips, chocolates and bottles. We were absolutely overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity.
I'd like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year for 2024 and wish everyone all the best.

We will be back on the tools (leads) Wednesday January 3rd ☺️

All the very best from myself and CK-9 🐾

Update on Trevor...

There's been a lot of people asking, so it's easier just to post on here.

We unfortunately found out 5 weeks ago that Trevor had a cancerous tumour growing on his leg. He underwent a huge surgery to remove it, along with another 2 lumps.
He has been left with a huge open wound on his leg that we are managing, but we got the good news we were hoping for today.

His results have came back that they have managed to get all of the tumor with clear margins and it hasn't spread or started to make it's way anywhere else in his body, so the big guy is in the clear.

He has a long road still ahead with the recovery of his surgery, but he will get there.

This dug and his health will be the death of me. I'm certain of it. 😂

Trevors recovery has taken a lot of my time up over the last month or so, with daily vet visits, him needing someone to be with him constantly and everything that's came with managing his wound. I've not been as active on social media, and the admin and messaging side of things has been a bit slower than usual due to working it in around Trevor. I can only thank everyone for being so patient and understanding. We still have a long way to go with his recovery, so I really do appreciate your ongoing understanding of any effect it is having on CK-9.

Many thanks as always, from a very happy Meghan & Trevor ❤️🐾

I want to make something really clear before beginning this post. In all my years of doing this job, I have never posted rants or complaints or used this platform in any way other than to keep in touch with customers and post pictures and videos of our lovely pack. I like to keep things professional and have great relationships with our customers. This week however, I feel like I really haven't been left with much of an option, and want to raise the point of payments and this could be the best way to do so.

This week alone, I have received payments in coppers and small change (substanial amounts, not small amounts), Euros, old and out of date pound coins and no, you're eyes don't deceive you, that is a paper tenner ripped in half. These have been out of circulation since 2018!! Thats the payments I have actually received and not been shorted on or just not paid altogether.

I understand things can be financially strained for some of us in these current times and I am, and always have been, more than happy to accommodate and help out wherever I can in these situations.

What I won't tolerate any longer is being treated like a Bureau de Change, a Coinstar machine or a piggy bank for unwanted change or out of date currency.

I am a small buisness who works hard to provide a reliable and decent service to customers. I have great relationships with my customer base and have done for years. It's so disheartening and sad to be treated with such disrespect and disreagrd when you are trying to make a living caring for people's pet's like they are you're own.

I'm not being unreasonable or complaining for the sake of it. Things happen. We all get caught short, thats life. I've never chased down payments that are a day or two late or £1 or so short here or there. Mistakes happen.
I will no longer be accepting mounds of shrapnel (sometimes full of dirt, dust and oose) as payment and I will ask for payments to be kept as close to the payment dates as possible without being unreasonable.

To give a bit of context, you wouldn't walk into a petrol station or supermarket, take goods and walk out without paying or shorting them in money. You just wouldn't.
You equally would expect to be paid you're wages when they are due and when you expect them to be there so you can pay you're bills.

I don't want to sour things or leave things on a bad note. I'd like to draw a line under this week and start fresh on Monday by asking customers to be mindful of the above.

I continue to be grateful for the amazing customers that I have and will always be thankful for you're continued support and custom.

Have a great weekend,
Meghan 🐾

The January blues...
Some of the best walking weather you could ask for.
Blue skies, sunshine, barely a cloud in the sky and frozen ground under foot.

I think we all enjoyed a break from the rain today ☺️🐾
