I had the very sad news yesterday that beautiful Ziggy has passed away.

Another longtime regular visitor, Ziggy Stardust was a superstar by name and superstar by nature. A sweet gentle boy, I will very much miss his visits. He was always so calm and ready with a little smile for me.

Keeping his family in my thoughts at this very sad time 🤍🤍🐾

Just had to share this little cutie! 🥰

The little “sister” of one of my long term regulars, yesterday was Figg’s second visit to the Shed. It was mild chaos when she and Frank arrived but calm soon settled with a couple of treats and a few ear rubs!

Figg is Glen of Imaal Terrier x Daschund and I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a winning combination ❤️❤️🐾

🚨HEATSTOKE KILLS DOGS🚨

It doesn’t always have to be ‘hot’ for an animal to develop heatstroke. Exercising excessively in warm weather, or being left in a warm or humid environment that is poorly ventilated can cause animals to quickly overheat. Avoidance is always best, but it’s important to know the signs of heatstroke so that you can treat your dog appropriately and know when to seek veterinary attention should they be unfortunate enough to suffer from it.

If you are concerned that your pet is overheating, you should act immediately, as heatstroke can rapidly become a life-threatening emergency; We recommend to “cool first, transport second” as the immediate first aid response for dogs with heatstroke. Owners should also seek veterinary advice as soon as possible.

A big thank you to my lovely helper, Annabel. She’s been doing work experience with me for the last four days and has been a big help with bathing, brushing, an admin backlog, socials, cleaning and tidying, and most importantly, doggy entertainment. It’s also been fun to have a human to talk to!!

Here she is with the lovely Artie and Bertie ❤️❤️🐾

The last time I posted about Maisie she was a tiny pup curled up fast asleep on my legs. Now she’s a seasoned pro, and she was very happy to be freed of all that excess fluff yesterday.

Pics pre, post and in between grooms! ❤️❤️🐾

I’ve got a lovely student working with me from St George’s so I can treat you all to an action shot - me looking fetching in my PPE and Bailey looking relaxed under the dryer ❤️❤️🐾

It’s been a while since I’ve posted and this gorgeous guy hasn’t been featured yet. So, time to set things right!
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you … Riley ❤️❤️🐾

I’m so sad to learn another of my long-standing regular visitors crossed Rainbow Bridge last week. Lovely Monty has been coming to see me for almost seven years so you can imagine how fond I was of him. He was a gorgeous boy and I will miss his visits.

Thinking of his family who gave him 15 years of love and happiness, as he did them ❤️❤️🐾

Can you spot my cheeky Border enjoying the sunshine this afternoon? Tommy’s sunbathing habits are a sure sign that Spring is on the way at last ❤️❤️🐾

I really love my job but there is one huge downside I never thought of when I first started… losing one of “my” dogs.

Beautiful Ella has been with me since I first opened nearly 7 years ago. She was a sweet, gentle soul, nervous of the grooming process but we built a strong bond over the years. I will miss her visits.

My heart goes out to her family who loved her so much and will miss her terribly 💔

One of my longstanding regulars sadly lost their older dog a few months ago, leaving their younger one (and themselves) bereft.
The antidote? A new baby sister!

We all know new pups are never “replacements” but they can help to fill holes in their family’s broken hearts.

And little Maisie is a joyful addition to the Dexter’s family too. After a superstar performance at her first puppy intro yesterday, this tiny cutie fell fast asleep in the crook of my legs waiting for mum.
Smitten?? You bet! ❤️❤️🐾

Despite the best efforts of the weather, the flora and fauna of the Common are kicking into action. Snowdrops have been and gone, now bluebells are in full bloom. If you look closely there are even some harebells too. A cuckoo has been heard in the woods, alongside the more usual chiffchaffs, robins...
