My own boys 💙💙💙🐾 but also all the doggies that I have been privileged enough to have been part of their lives through Paws Deep. There is no greater feeling on a crappy day or even a good day than being greeted by pure excitement, love and a waggy tail 🥰 I do miss it and all my wonderful friends very much.

To all the dogs we’ve had in our lives, we say we loved them, but the truth is, they loved us in ways we’ll never be able to repay. They gave us more than we could ever ask for—comfort when we didn’t even know we needed it, loyalty when we felt lost, and a kind of companionship that went deeper than words.

We say we loved them, but they were the ones who showed us what love really looks like. It was in their eyes every time we walked through the door, in the way they stayed close during the hardest days, in the moments when they just knew we needed them. They saw us at our worst and still looked at us like we were the best thing in their world.

To all the dogs we’ve had, we want them to know how much they shaped us, how they were more than just pets—they were family, they were soulmates in their own way. We loved them, but they loved us better, with a kind of pure, unwavering love that we’ll carry with us for the rest of our lives.

After 7 amazing years, the sun has set on Paws Deep. This page has a mere sample of some of the fun we have had and the memories we have all made together. Thank you for everyone's kindness, trust and generosity in the last 7 years. We set off on an adventure and by gum has it been one heck of an adventure!! Don't ever under-estimate the trials and tribulations of a good dog walker, I've had more injuries and life lessons in the last 7 years than I could ever have imagined 🙈 but the laughs, love, moments of pure joy and satisfaction have been more than I could have asked for ❤💙🐾 . Onto the next chapter for the McDowalls but Milo and Hector will still have us out and about so it is not goodbye and the leads and boots are still very much in action 😊

If there is anyone I haven't got to for anything in 2024, please give me a message if I've missed you.

We brought you home from the SSPCA in October 2009, little did we know you would become our rescuer 💙🐾 you didn't belong to us, we belonged to you. You stole our hearts and now they are broken 💔💔💔💔 14 years wasn't nearly enough, only forever would have been. You left your Sexy Dexy mark on everyone you met and there are no words to describe the void you have left in our family now you have gone. Milo and Evie don't know a life without Dexter and your Dad and I have never lived together without you! Through every up and down, through thick and thin, through every laugh or tear you have been by our side with unwavering love and loyalty.

I could crash Facebook with the sheer thousands of pictures and videos we have. Most of them are on my page anyway. Instead, we were fortunate enough to have a photoshoot done in August of last year at one of Dexters favourite places, Turnberry beach, just prior to his illness taking hold. Dexter was full of Life, character, personality and soul (even at 13) which I think Ewan the photographer captured wonderfully!! The only thing we can cling on to now are our memories as we navigate this unknown without our forever adored Sexy Dexy.

💙🐾 wreak havoc over rainbow Bridge handsome man, you've ignored those infamous words "Dexter, NO!" for the last time 💙🐾

It's been a wee while and things have got busier and sunnier....🌞😎

Loads of challenges and changes as ever but the biggest one being our eldest ,Dexter. I wish I could say the challenge was the same old "Dexter NO!!" but unfortunately that's not the case. At 14 years young, he's facing some health issues that we just can't quite seem to conquer 😕 everyday is different and it's one day at a time so I have to confess to having been a bit distracted with it all...

I've picked the first photo deliberately though because on one of his poorly nights you will note Hector, our youngest, strategically placed himself in front of Dexter on the couch almost as if he was guarding him 💙 it made me melt!!

Professionally my care, love and compassion for all of your furbabies is my priority but I wouldn't know how to do that or be that way if it wasn't for my own Boys 💙💙💙🐾 they are our world and very much at the heart of our family.

Enjoy the sunshine while we have it everyone, wishing everyone a happy weekend 🌞😎
