I have now put up the nearest vets number in the shelter in case of an emergency. I have also put a dog first aid kit and a human first aid kit. Extra plasters have been added for small cuts and grazes. I have also prettied up the shelter. This is still a work in progress, but if anyone has any old play equipment like a kitchen that I could put in there. Please let me know! As you can see, I've been working through the night again, too.
It was a pleasure to meet this young man today. He was been looked after by a petsitter and was nervous to start with but by the end of the session, he was loving it
Some people may find this upsetting but I think it is important to post to show what to do if your dog has a seizure. He had no history of fits, so it came completely out of the blue. Bernie the dog was with a dogwalker at the time at the field. So she had multiple dogs and was in the middle of the fields, her leads were in the car. She did exact the right thing, she stayed with him and talked softly and calmly but firmly kept the other dogs away from him.More importantly she filmed and timed the whole thing, so that the owner would be able to show the vet. He was completly back to normal after 4mins. After he had recovered, she but him back in the van and kept him quiet whilst still keeping an eye on him. . Ann (walkies and purrs) is a very experienced dogwalker. She does have experienced of owning an epilepsy dog and has a canine first aid certificate. She kept the dog with her till the owner could collect and spent time with the owner to reassure her.
FIELD PATH
The path is coming along well. I'm having to work into the night, as you pesky lot keep booking the field 😉. I can't say the field will be wheelchair friendly till the parking is added next year. You could get into the field with a chair but you will need someone helpful that can do a bit of pushing and shoving for you. Please walk up and down path for me to push the sand in more and any small children with bikes/trikes would be wonderful too. Videos as always would be greatly appreciated
Field report . It was a beautiful day today, and it was actually a pleasure to do my poo check, especially as i only found two poo. Both fields are holding up well. The adventure field is slightly cut up but not too bad at all. Consider we are coming into the dreaded February. The ice and the high winds have dried up the fields nicely. No rain is forecast for the next 7 days . So fingers crossed we may hit February running. I have also put in more of the path! I'm hoping to have a circular loop by next week...the adventure field clip is in the comments
Blimey isn't it cold. Our first customer of the day didn't seem to mind thou. -5 and having the time of his life. I think mum might need extra thermals thou. It's lovely to see your videos, so please don't hesitate to send them in, for some reason I can't enable you to do it yourself but I will happily post them up if you want me to.
To keep the lock from freezing I have brought some insulation bags, these will be put on at night. So if you are the first ones in, please could you take them off and attach them to the gate.
Big shout out to my newest top fans! 💎 Christy Osgood
I was originally putting the path in just so that people had a dry area to walk ( you will have to get your feet dirty when you pick up poo, so please wear suitable footwear). But I have now added a few more panels so people with wheelchairs can get into the field, it's not perfect and at the moment . You will need some help pushing and shoving. We will improve this over the coming years but i don't have a ever lasting pot of gold to keep dipping into. So it will take time. A parking area inside the field will be added next year. As you can see from my the video my Tenacious Terrier Tano has been busy helping! 🤣
