A dash of the scrumptious Teddy Edward 🐱 - and Cynthia of course 🐬

More Chocolate 🐱 anyone?

Check him out - Choccy still got some moves! 🐾

We've loved hanging out in the sun and enjoying all those cuddles and belly rubs 😍 Choccy got to see Theo a couple of times for extra Dreamies and cuddles too 😊

It was our Ava's birthday on the 12th June

4yrs - Oh how the time flies 🥹😍🥳🧁☺️❤️🎊🎁🎈💜💕💐🤗🐶🐾🐱

She's so fast I just about missed every shot 😆

Who else's furry or feathery friends love bubbles???

Nellie quite enjoyed them the other day too. It's incredibly hard to hold the bubble pot, blow bubbles and take photos or record though 😅 you need a third hand or second person but here you get the idea! 😆

Can you help us find the owner?

We have had this cat taken in to our Glenfield hospital.

She is microchipped but the contact information is not up to date so we are still trying to find the owner.

If you think this cat may be yours please call Glenfield directly on 0116 231 1635 between 8am-7pm

Thank you

Here are just a few ideas to help reduce risks for your dog (or cat or other pets) this summer, so that they can be as comfortable, safe and happy as possible during the heat 😊🌞🐾

👇👇🐾Share more of your summer tips, ideas and tasty chilled treats below too🐾👇👇

🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

🐱🐶🐭🐦🐰🐟🐍Listen to your pet and consider their species, breed, lifestyle, age and health as well as their energy level, excitability and self control! 😉

🐾🌚 Get out for walkies earlier and nice and late in the evening. Avoid the hottest parts of the day and avoid open spaces with little shade

🐾 Shorten walks

🐾👣 Remember if the floors are too hot for your hands and feet then it's too hot for your dogs paws to walk on for long!

🐾💧 Take extra water with you on walkies

🐾💧😎 Go for a walk where there's access to water with plenty of shady areas

🐾 If you must go out don't worry about counting your steps just enjoy being outside whilst you're there, sit down and have some cuddles or a good brush, let them toilet and have a roll around and maybe a swim, have them find some biccies or do some calm tricks and just enjoy the fresh air for a bit (before that's too hot too!)

💧Setup a paddle pool or doggy pool in your garden

😎 Create shade with a gazebo or sheet

🧠 Stay home and do brain games, scent games and other calmer enrichment instead

🥵 Avoid overexertion and don't wait for them to be uncomfortable and showing signs of over heating. Short and sweet or slow and steady 👌

😎💨💦 use cool mats and coats (such as Easidri) around the house, when travelling in the car if necessary and out on walks if needed too.

🧊🍦Use ice cubes and frozen treats for snacks through the day, they double up as mental stimulation and enrichment too 😉 kongs, licki mats, freezable water bowls, ice cube trays, fillable toys and chews, snuffle mats, chopping boards and slow feeders - get creative... If you can fill it, or smear something on it and freeze it or chill it in the fridge then why not give it a go! So long as it's safe for your dog or pet that is 🥰

💧🍏Apple bobbing type games can be fun for some cats, dogs and other pets too; fill a shallow bowl or tray with some water and ice cubes and add some tasty (and possibly even healthy) snacks for them to get out

🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Shady lane with Millie, Lula, Ava and Zeek recently 🤗🐾🐶

I gave up with pics on yesterdays walk, camera kept crashing 😅

Down to the meadows for a change with Nellie and Mali and the gang, they loved their sniffari sniffy walk and going for a swim instead of their usual madness

Spot Dennis's nice muddy boots 👌

Down and back before the heat really kicked in

**Remember in high temperatures and humidity, don't wait for your dog to get too hot, don't wait for hard floors to get too hot.. once they're overheated they can't cool down like we can and once their feet are burning they don't have a choice but to keep going**

Afternoon visits with Leo and Aimee yesterday 🥰🐾

Rustled Leo up some frozen yogi snacks after his morning walk ready for his visit - his mom left some yoghurt out ready for him. Smothered some of his treats with it on a bit of foil and popped them in the freezer! He highly approved 👌

Aimee enjoyed scavenging for the cooked chicken I brought especially for her, we played some find it games. It's her fave ❤️

What treats do you make for your munchkins on hot days? Do you fill kongs, silicone moulds or ice cube trays, licki mats?

Chicken broth ice cubes go down well in our house as well as yoghurt or any kind of fish or meat paste, peanut butter, coconut oil, philly, the list goes on.

Your munchkins won't mind if it's smothered on a chopping board, licki mat or bowl. Get creative and see what you can rustle up this summer 😎😉🌞🐾🥰

**Make sure you check any labels or foods first to be sure they're safe for your munchkins and do a little taste test with new foods first to make sure they don't get any upset tums. Leo loves his yoghurt and it goes down well with him but many dogs can't tolerate dairy, same goes for the chicken too**

It's cooling down for a few dyas now but take note and know the signs of heatstroke 🥵

Thank you to the PDSA page for sharing 🥵🐱🐶

Here's a link to further info on heatstroke, the signs and symptoms and what to do:
https://www.pdsa.org.uk/pet-help-and-advice/pet-health-hub/conditions/heatstroke-in-dogs

**Know your dog, stay ahead and don't wait for signs that they're struggling or uncomfortable to show, by this point you have a high risk of heatstroke, stay cool before getting too hot! Once they get too hot they cannot cool themselves down effectively**

What adjustments, if any, do you make for your pets during the summer? Whether they're big or small, furry, finned or feathery ❤️❤️❤️

26/06/2024

Moggies have been enjoying the sunshine, cuddles, Dreamies and licky sticks 🌞😎🐱

🐾 Jem and Alf 🐾
🐾 Choccy 🐾
🐾 Teddy 🐾

And spot Teddy telling me AGAIN! paperwork is pointless! Just wasting valuable cuddle time 😆❤️🐾

26/06/2024

What's your dog's favourite toy? Ava currently loves her dino! She's been beating him up good and proper in the evenings letting out the days leftover energy once it's cooled down a bit ❤️

26/06/2024

Going way back to muddier weather with Bumble, Clara, Lottie and Ava at the meadows 🥰🥰

25/06/2024

You know you're an animal lover when you undo your laces so the moggies have entertainment whilst you prep their dinner 😉❤️

Here's our Ivy helping "clean up" well she's hiding some of the mess at least 🤣🤣

She loves rolling in the sand, it's like catnip for her! She loves that too! She's even more OBSESSED with anything that has a bit of elasticy plasticiness in it so hairbands and nerf bullets are her fave! (And the sealant from our windows!!) Sends her her loopy and she can smell a hairband or nerf bullet a mile away!

What are your furballs obsessions?

25/06/2024

Spot the Choc!

He soon spotted me 🥰

"Meeeow! You're here!"

25/06/2024

Choccy and Teddy and back again.

More cuddles prrrease!? Your wish is my command my munchkins 🥰🥰🥰

Not forgetting to water everyone's plants too, especially in this heat! 🎍🌹🌻💧

Out with the gang today for an even earlier mooch and stroll, meadows for a change this time and they loved it! Dennis loves his leisurely strolls these days, although he still enjoys a play he does appreciate the calm amongst the chaos ❤️

I know it's good to let everywhere go wild but the last couple of yrs or so I've been quite shocked at how overgrown places are getting, so many lovely old paths now gone or just not accessible for so many people now, especially in summer gear, for the elderly or disabled or those with children. It's a shame 😔 luckily for the dogs if they're happy then I'm happy and I get as carried away as they do, getting stuck in bushes and wading through rivers and swamps. I'll be rolling in the mud again with them come winter too 🤣🤣

Dennis nearly had to relive the trauma of last week swimming across stream when Midge decided the grass was greener, and tastier, on the other side today 🤣 no mischief this time, so Dennis could relax and paddle at his own leisure, as did we all. I was in upto my waist again, shoes n' all but by my own choice this time 😉🤣

Cool coats on for travels today, especially with so many road works. Don't want to get caught in a hot spot for too long

**As always I can't recommend the Easidri cool coats highly enough**

25/06/2024

Macy moo ❤️ playtime, cuddles and Dreamies!

She loves the flick a treat game or in some cases the fling a treat game and then she seeks them out. Spot her diving over and hunting them out around the sofa, and reading with Theo, such a good kitty! 🥰🐾

Oh and can you spot the signs of an "exploded" bird! Yep, the entire downstairs was covered with feathers and the remains of said bird. Well done Macy! Natural enrichment at its finest and I get to show off my cleaning skills too 🤣🤣

24/06/2024

I say this every year but just a reminder not to use the gel cool mats in cars or direct sunlight 🙏

They're great indoors but once they warm up they do not cool down again like the cool coats and mats that you wet (like the Easidri ones that we use and highly recommend above all else)

If your dog, or cat, is stuck in a small space like a crate or car and cannot get away from them they will only overheat faster. Please be mindful of what you use, when and where ❤️

24/06/2024

Today's munchkins out for their stroll 🥰 We got lucky with the weather, we started a bit earlier and thought it would be a short walk with the predicted heat but in the end it was overcast and breezy so we played it safe and avoided the fields and mad playtime and just mooched and paddled our way round the woods and the water and before we knew it our time was up 🥰

Walks will be getting earlier and shorter as the heat increases. At the moment under the trees and in the shade is still cool but as the warm days add up it will be harder to keep cool

They're travelling in style with the cool coats on and cool mats out
***As always please do not use the gel cool mats in cars or in direct sunlight, indoors only, once they warm up they stay hot!***

Once a dog gets too hot they can't cool down so it's not worth the risk but whilst we can just enjoy being out in the fresh air we will do even if our walks are a bit earlier or a bit shorter 🐾🐾

As always we will adjust as we go with your munchkins comfort and safety in mind 🥰😎❤️

24/06/2024

Acting as cool as a cucumber - you wouldn't know that earlier that morning he had been targeted in his own garden whilst finishing his 💩 by the local Tom 🐱
Teddy's an old boy now and he has no interest in territorial debates and bickering with neighbours bless him. So glad I was there to step in and give him a good cuddle after ❤️

24/06/2024

Oh choccy 🥰❤️ who could resist this guy really? 🥹🥰

He's a proper little dog cat if I ever saw one 😸🐾 Another moggy I go back yrs with now. Such a special boy. He loves tummy rubs more than any other cat or dog I've ever met! You can fuss him and tickle every part of his body and he just loves it everywhere and melts! If you stop fussing he will just flip and flop at your feet and beg for it anyway 😆

And I LOVE HIS TAIL so much! it talks 🤣 it's like another creature attached to him with a mind of its own and it's always wagging. When most cats are flicking or swishing their tail you might think they're a little playful or irritated but nope chocs tail is just constantly wagging and swishing with his thoughts and happiness like a happy little dog cat and I love it! I have as many videos of his tail swishing as I do of Choc himself 🥰🥰

24/06/2024

Good to see you again Aimee, back from her holidays. Sunshine and cuddles. She was devastated I didn't have any chicken! The horror! Next time, I promise ❤️🌞🥰🐾

24/06/2024

Cuddles and catnip with Lily and Rocky. Always lovely to see these 2 beauties, we've been catching up quite a bit recently ☺️🥰🐾

Can you spot the cobwebs all over Lily's whiskers? 🤣 she has an obsession with literally cleaning the cobwebs out. She seeks them out in the garden 😄🐾

Nothing beats a drink fresh from the tap 😉

24/06/2024

Back when Dougal and Daisy first started

I do miss these 2 and I know Ava does too! Especially her tuggy buddy Dougal 🥹🐾❤️

Yep 👍😆 Looked like I was peeing on everyone's doorsteps when I dropped munchkins off and knelt down to give them one last towel or brush over 🤣🤣

How was your day?! - A day late with this one but hey ho, gives me too much of a chuckle not to post 😆 I definitely needed yesterday's hit of extra excitement 😃😃😃 might have ruined someone else's day but not me, literally made my day! Just wish I'd got more of the actual antics on camera but as you can imagine I was being a bit careful not to drop my phone 😅😅 Aaaand this was after emptying my boots! They just kept refilling, there was so much soaked in to my socks and jeans 🤣👌 Well played my munchkins, well played! 😆🐾

This one's worth waiting till Bumble passes the old sniff test 🤣🤣 a little quiet break, another play, even though they're all exhausted and then off to paddle in the water on the way back to the car 🙂🐾❤️ As always, you know Dennis is having a good time when he winds himself charging around and bouncing around like a goon 🥰😉

Rosko settling beautifully into group play 🐾❤️

Dennis zoomies, in his element with all the girls after him! He's so cheeky, I love how he eggs them on (if they're not egging him on!!!) And checks over his shoulder to make sure at least one of them is hot on his tail before he blasts off😆
