Well I have to share a story of two very special dogs and one incredible family.
18 years old I was asked to walk a beautiful dog who sadly is no longer with us called Rosa. She will always hold a special place in my heart.
Then for the past 16 years I walked her brother too Huey. They both taught me so much especially as I was relatively new to the world of dog walking. They were always waiting with a waggy tail and a big hug. We covered many, many miles and had so many adventures.
It was with much sadness and tears that I had to retire Huey from our walks. He still desperately wanted to come and although his mind wanted to his body was finding it harder. I knew in my heart it was time to let him enjoy all those smells and sniffs at his pace with his loving family.
It feels like I have lost a limb but I know I will see him around the village for cuddles. It’s been a privilege not only being part of their lives but also this lovely families live and I will miss them more than I can ever say.
We are never just a dog walker we are part of that dogs life and journey.
Also I must say a huge thank you to this family for trusting me for all these years with their dogs. It’s been an honour. Also I was so touched with my gift voucher to use at a Cotswolds Hotel. It was so , so thoughtful and meant so much.
