Mine is Yours Pet Care

Monday 🤷‍♂️
When you love a dog so much, you steal him from his friends to get a cuddle in before he leaves. 🤣💜

Would you please look at my new friend Ralphie’s cute face!?!?! 🥰
Ralphie too is a rescue who got very lucky with his new family.
This little boy is so sweet and so playful. Ralphie will be working on his excitement bark here together with learning to harness his excitement around other dogs.
Gorgeous pup! 🥰

Certain degree of photo dumping is absolutely necessary at this point!
I have so many more photos of him and much better ones but this was a special moment that meant so much to me. 🥰
Daddy says that Sid normally takes longer to bond with new people, but dogs have intuition far stronger and sharper than humans; they know and understand who is who and who to trust very quickly. More than I can say for some people. 🤣
He is a Saluki!!! 🎉👏🏼🙌🏼
Naturally, he is even meant to be one of the more sensitive and cautious ones. But this was Trial run 1 and Sid sat on my lap with his crossed legs, cuddling!
I love him already and so do our esteemed guests. Welcome on board my lovely boy 🥰 Smooth sailing to you 🙏🏼

Did you know that dog walkers and dog trainers are NOT regulated but dog sitters are?

So what does being licensed mean?

⭐️ It means that we are informed by the Animal Welfare Regulations and understand duty of care towards animals.
⭐️ It means that we are obliged to be trained and educated on the most up to date research.
⭐️ It means that we have a nominated Vet that we are registered under.
⭐️ It means that we are confident enough to be inspected by the local council twice a year.
⭐️ It means that we are able to keep, maintain and provide historical records for each dog.
⭐️ It means that we have standards to work to day in day out.
⭐️ It means that we really care about them first and foremost ❤️

Choose your sitters carefully, and make sure they’re licensed, because any dog lover may want to be a dog sitter, but only those who are licensed have social responsibility and accountability when it comes to pet care.

Hugo is a Border Collie cross with Poodle. (On the right) Despite being big, he’s not even one yet.
I carry out ongoing desensitisation work with all puppies that come here. All puppies get desensitised to different breeds and sizes of dogs, daily instruments like hoovers and brooms, and water, pool and sea.
On my return, Hugo became the second bubba to make me proud. Just as we were chatting with mum about how he doesn’t get in the pool, Hugo finally followed the toy and his friends into the pool for the first time, making me a very proud sitter 🙏🏼 Looking forward to seeing this lovely boy again soon!

This is indie. 💜
Indie took my feet off the ground day after I arrived back. 🙏🏼
I have seen her only a few times before I went for holiday. She was another one that’s been affected by the Pandemic and I believe inexperienced dog sitters. She came needing exposure. 🙌🏼💜 And exposure and supervised socialising is what she got. Sometimes on lead, sometimes off lead, using positive behaviour modification techniques, trust building and confidence building activities.
She came, she saw, she proved what an angel she is, and she played her heart out. 💜 I love you girl 💜
Things we can achieve with a little help from our friends 🙌🏼🫶🏻

Morning coffee with the one and only, Albus 🖤

It’s an absolute no brainer: A dog will look through you and see your soul. Once they know you, they will never doubt you; they will never question your motives; they will never forget who you are.
They won’t take away your right to think, your right to speak and your right to be unique.
They won’t project, they won’t oppress, and they won’t transgress.
A dog will never treat you differently in a group than they do individually. Their truth is one, their truth is undiluted.
They respect differences and they coexist perfectly. ⭐️
In a multi dog setting, you see how they put us all to shame. 🤣
A dog growls at another dog; the dog that has been growled at doesn’t call the growly dog an angry twit. They take notice that they breached a boundary and learn something from it. ⭐️
When another dog is upset, they don’t just leave the room to protect their energy. That is a purely incapable pathetic human nonsense. 🤣 They sit beside the sad dog to console it, or they encourage play. ⭐️
When a dog doesn’t feel like playing, they respect their choice and look for someone else to play with. ⭐️
A dog is almost always better than humans. No offence, just hard facts. 🌍

😆 Happy Friday

I left Joni, our Hungarian Vizsla friend, as a puppy and came back to a massive babe, who is almost fully grown and doubly energetic. 💜😊 Two weeks make a big difference in a puppy’s life.
Joni came for a visit day after my arrival, and spent majority of the first day doing this 🤣 sitting in front of me and staring at me the whole time. Like a museum piece. I wonder if she got confused by my bad hair 🤔🤣

But of course I arrived to a house full of cuties who are not shy to say “You’re mine.” 😊💜
I missed them so much. It’s good to feel they did too. 🙌🏼
Until humans question everything a million times before opening their heart and offering us love, a dog will know and remember a trusted friend and reach out to us instinctively and instantly. And express themselves so beautifully too.
Thank you my Patterdale friend. 👀
We’ve come a long way with lovely Pablo from being terrified of the world to being a confident and independent bubba who knows how to pawty!
To me, you will always be special my love 😍

My sister’s son, Adam, translates as “the man” 😀 Even though I couldn’t spend enough time with him, Adam made such a wonderful impression on me. 🥰
Droopy eyes 👀 making you feel so sorry for him but Adam literally owns the whole garage, sleeps on a king size human mattress and lives like a king 👑
He is smart, cheeky and actually very well behaved. Understands boundaries, practices impulse control regularly, despite breed specifics doesn’t bark much, enjoys time on his own and appreciates company. Gold star for my man in Cyprus ⭐️
Basset Hounds are not very easy to train as they’re known to be very stubborn. :)) They’re hunters and they like lots of time on their own. They love family and kids and are a great example of what a wonderful family dog.

For me, an absolute all time favourite, Chico, our family parrot. Her real name is actually Sarah! 😁 Very grateful for the Sarahs of this world. 💜
This one is an African Grey, opens her eyes and her mouth at the same time in the mornings, and continues to be vocal until she closes her eyes and mouth at the same time in the evenings 😄 Pretends to be a phone, got me checking my phone every two seconds, talks with the voices of all the family members, has an incredible long term memory, loves mum ❤️ and teases all other family pets. 🤣

It’s true; I am back but not without making some gorgeous new friends in Cyprus.
This is Yoda 🖤
Yoda belongs to two of my most precious friends.
I am grateful to Yoda for cuddling and comforting me for a night whilst I was missing my friends. He will be missed and often thought about.

Heatstroke is not the only risk for your dog when you take them out for walks in unreasonably hot weather. Dehydration, and paw burns are also great risks for your hairy family member, that could have long lasting consequences on their wellbeing. Be wise, think of your dog first 🙏🏼 Don’t take unnecessary risks. Use cooler parts of the day to do your dog walks; if necessary reduce walking time and increase more interactive activities at home, use water sprays to keep your baby cool and safe, utilise ice in water bowls, cooling jackets, paddling pools to relieve some of the heat. And take care of yourself too.

Do you know the signs of heat stroke? Be sure to share this with your friends. It could help save a dog’s life.
