For dog walking enquiries I will give a free first walk so I can learn their behaviour with me on lead.

These meet and greets are also for you to get to know me and decide whether or not I am a good fit for your pet 🐾 ❤️

A tricky question for some!

But I would love to see how many cat lovers vs dog lovers we have 🤭 🐾

React to this post with:

XL BULLY BAN INFORMATION.

Firstly let me say this, I am incredibly against this ban, it sickens me that not only has people who have no clue about dogs in general banned 'XL BULLY'S'.... im angry that they have set a breed standard that is completely unjustified and just makes absolutely no sense especially considering an XL bully is not even a breed 🤦🏽‍♀️.

Unfortunately though I do need to have some strict requirements put into place to not only protect myself but to protect your dog too.

There is a rise is meaningless complaints being made against such dogs who have not done anything wrong and as a result they are being euthanised.

Now I do agree with a 'dangerous dog' being euthanised but to put blame on a whole so called 'breed' that does not actually exist is beyond me.

Yes I will still walk an 'XL Bully' but there will be strict requirements from the 31st of July

- Exemption letter: I will not walk your dog if you cannot provide me with a valid letter, it not only puts me at risk but puts your dog at risk also.
- Proof of neutering and microchip: This does not mean a nice letter written by yourself, I need veterinary notes to prove that this has been done
- Proof that your dog has been insured.
- A mandatory meet and greet: Even if you don't have a banned breed I still insist on this but even more so with these dogs, I need to know them, I need them to trust me.

Adding on to the strict reason for the meet and greet... your dog may be more nervous with a muzzle on, a dogs only way to defend themselves is through biting and without the ability to do this (not that we want that) youll find your dogs behaviour could change and they can become more nervous and anxious, especially on walks.

Because of this I will keep them distracted, happy, be given plenty of treats (if allowed) and love on their walks. They will also be walked in a secluded area to limit all risks to them.

The last thing I will say is, if your dog does not have a suitable muzzle (it HAS to be a big enough muzzle to give them plenty of panting space). If you do not own a muzzle that is suitable for the size of your dog I will refuse service. It is not fair on them to be squeezed into a tiny muzzle. It only adds to their anxiety.

The last thing I will ask is, full and complete transparently. I want to know everything about your pup.

and lastly, I am truly sorry 😔❤️

My Ziggy❤️

Unfortunately I do not have ziggy anymore😔.

She is alive and very very happy with her new best friend🥺.

I got ziggy prior to developing fibromyalgia and to my surprise I ended up with severe noise sensitivity, to the point where it felt as if my skull was piercing.

I had my zigs for quite a few years and she was spoilt rotten and loved an unbelievable amount! She spent her whole day flying in the house and resting on her big perch whilst shouting at everyone and everything.

But unfortunately as my condition worsened and my son became noisier too I just could not take it anymore mentally.

I miss ziggy every single day, she is now with an amazing woman who gives me regular updates even quite a few years later❤️

Got any birds or have any funny bird stories?

Show me your feathered friend or tell me your story in the comments 🦜💕

Meet one of my 3 cats 🐾

Leo❤️

He is one special cat!

Leo was the runt of the litter and unfortunately born with a few quirks we could say!

His front legs are shorter than they should be and his elbows tend to splay out to the side and it does mean he is my special lil kitty.

He does however have the usual ginger cat traits... he still believes he is a kitten! And his attitude... wow he talks back more than my 4 year old!

Now that's 1 of mine, show me yours!

Comment with your furry baby🐈 or scaly baby🐍
