My poor Ralph was attacked by a dog while we were out walking today 😢 He and the 3 others I was walking were trotting along minding their own business and a Jack Russell coming towards us made a beeline for Ralph and went for him. It was a truly horrific situation. He’s been to the vets, he’s okay but has been left with 3 nasty puncture wounds on his neck, shoulder and tail 💔 A big well done to the three dogs I was walking, they kept completely calm throughout the whole situation and didn’t leave my side. Lots of cuddles for our Ralphie ❤️

Weekends at the Happy Hounds Hotel 🏨

This one has been hot! 🔥 We’ve been at full capacity all week, there’s been Sighthounds languishing on sofas totally over the heat, Frenchies fed up that they can’t have a long walk and Doodles and Poos just loving life as always ❤️

I’ve spent alot of time (as you can see from the pics) laying on sofas indoors and outdoors with dogs draped all over me. It’s a hard job, but someone’s got to do it! 🤣

Thank you, doggies as always for being totally brilliant and for making my job pretty damn amazing! ❤️

The end of another fantastic week at Happy Hounds ❤️ The hotel has been bursting with doggos of all shapes and sizes, coming and going, while their humans go on holiday. The group walks have been full of happy dogs having a good time, swimming in the river and racing around with their mates. Thank you to all my lovely dogs for being so well behaved and my brilliant clients who keep me busy ❤️

🐕‍🦺 Ooh you’ve got your hands full!
🐕‍🦺 They’re not all yours are they?!
🐕‍🦺 I don’t know how you do it!

I hear the above pretty much every day from well-meaning people walking their dogs! I know it probably looks like potential chaos with me in charge of 5 or 6 dogs…but it’s not chaos!

They have so much fun on every walk, loving life and playing with their friends. I am always practicing recall and regularly doing training, as I did today. Look at those brilliant doggos. They make me so happy 😃

Happy Birthday to my husband! As well as having his own, brilliant job! he helps me out massively with the doggos when he’s at home. They all love him ❤️ He’s always got a dog draped on him, a couple of pooches having a Sunday morning lie-in with him or he’s feeding them meat that he’s just roasted in the kitchen! Happy birthday darling. Today you will be mostly working and then coming home to a houseful of 🦮🐕🐩🐕‍🦺🐶

Jarvis ❤️

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I find myself writing this little tribute to the wonderful Jarvis who went to sleep one last time last week 💔

I had the absolute pleasure of looking after Jarvis the French Bulldog several times and my whole family adored him. We had a real soft spot for Jarv, he was so similar to our Dexter, the likeness was remarkable, like two gorgeous peas in a pod 🥰 Jarv was 11 years old and Dexter is 10 so both old boys and it’s like they knew, they hung out together on the sofa or by the fire quietly, watching what was going on. They even had the same brindle colouring and both acted like puppies again when the toy basket came out ☺️

Jarvis was one of the easiest dogs I’ve ever looked after, so polite, friendly and well behaved and he made us laugh with his funny little ways, his incredible snoring, his passion for toys and his cute bark.

I was due to be looking after Jarvis next week 😞 I am going to miss you Jarv, you truly were a very special doggo. Your lovely family I know feel so blessed to have had 11 wonderful years with you. I know they have found it incredibly heartbreaking this last week or so and I want to say thank you to them for allowing me to look after Jarvis, it was an honour ❤️

Love you Jarvis, sleep tight sweet boy ###xx

Lola! 🌸

Little teeny weeny Lola completed her trial daycare in style yesterday. Totally smashed it with ultimate coolness 🥰

Lola is a Sh*tzu and is almost 11 years old. She’s in her golden years and is the sweetest little lady. Lola is literally no trouble, as long as she’s got cuddles on tap, had a walk, some fishy snacks and a comfy blanket, then she’s happy! She absolutely loved my son Zac, she got super excited when he got home from college ☺️

Yes I wasn’t supposed to be taking any new clients on 🤦🏼‍♀️ but after I got a heartfelt message from Lola’s owners looking for help, I couldn’t say no. So we are getting Lola settled with me before she comes to stay for her holidays ❤️

Well done Lola. You smashed it 👏🏻👏🏻

New member of the team! Welcome to Billy the Berlingo! 🚐 🖤

After over 3 years of ferrying the pups around in my Mini Clubman, it’s time to go large and now we’re enjoying so much more space! Loads of room for them and me, a huge boot, 4 doors (pure luxury after the 2 on the Mini) and a tonne of storage. Separate fans and aircon in the back too 🩵

Bless the dogs, they don’t like change and the first few doggos I picked up looked at me with concern when I put them in a different car 🤣 They’re all starting to get the hang of it now and are hopping into their spaces like the brilliant pups they are ❤️

Here’s to lots of fun and adventures! 🐶 🐾 🌳 💦 🌞 ☔️ 🐕 🚐 🦮🐩🐕‍🦺💨🌈🪻🌿

Arrivederci Italia! 🇮🇹

After a glorious week in beautiful Tuscany, we are on our way home and flying into Southend Airport later today. Love our airport 🎉

Thank you for all the lovely messages wishing me happy holidays, it’s been really wonderful and much needed.

Very much looking forward to getting home to our two doggies. We FaceTimed them a few times but the conversation wasn’t great ☺️ I’m sure Ralph will cling to me for the foreseeable future and Dexter will have the hump for leaving him 😊

Back to work tomorrow, I’m fully refreshed and ready for a busy summer ahead with lots of dogs boarding and of course all my lovely walks 🐾 I don’t have a day off now till the end of July so let’s do this! 💪🏻

Here’s a few pics of my time in Italy. If anyone is thinking of an easy week away, we flew from Southend into Pisa and travelled everywhere by train 🚆 The train system is brilliant! 👌🏻

See you soon ❤️

Herbie! 🩵

A big Whippet well done to Herbie who brilliantly completed his settle session with me last week 🙌🏻 Another super sighthound to add to the Happy Hounds portfolio 🥰

Such a lovely gentle boy, he travelled well in the car, walked beautifully on his lead, got on great with the other dogs and settled back at the house with no problem. We even had a cuddle on the sofa 🤗

See you soon Herbie 🩵🐾

Ravioli! 🩶

The lovely Ravioli has just gone home to his family after a 9 night stay. Prior to this he’d only done a 2 night stay so it was a long time for him but he did amazingly! Totally settled into family life and all the chaos and comings and goings of a busy house. It was particularly busy over Easter with different dogs arriving and leaving so I was so proud of the way he handled it all.

Slept like a dream every night in his crate and perfect recall on walks 👌🏻 Absolutely loved a cuddle, especially with my boys. He could often be found curled up next to one of the boys in their beds! He certainly didn’t go without love and cuddles during his stay 🥰 🤗

So lovely seeing him excited being reunited with his owners yesterday 🥰

Thanks for being so cool Ravi, see you next time 🩶😘
