While these two were having the best time chasing each other along the footpath this morning...It occured to me that this is the very same spot where they first met during our "Meet and Greet" just over 3 years ago! Watson was only a few months old...a very cute and innocent young pup! 🐶
I love how their friendship has developed and grown over the years.
Donny may have slowed down a bit but he still can't resist giving Watson a good chase now and then! 💙

UPDATE: Dobby has now been rehomed 💙

Remember Dobby the Dobermann who was found by a runner, cowering in bushes after being abandoned in Stretton back in March?

Due to the sorry state he arrived in, vets indicated it was a touch-and-go situation as he needed his tail amputated in the process - however, this resilient pup refused to give up and has made a miraculous recovery with the support of our dedicated team!🙌

Dobby is now learning to embrace the joys that come with being a well-loved dog and will soon be seeking his forever home from RSPCA Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.

Join us in rooting for Dobby as he embarks on his journey!

🐕 Sparkling clean and ready for a fresh bag of kibble! 🐶😋

Pieces of kibble, crumbs and oil residue from your dogs kibble can get left at the bottom and around your dog's food storage containers.
Over time, these will go stale and contaminate the fresh food.
It's important to clean and disinfect these storage containers, especially large ones like this, on a regular basis before refilling with fresh kibble!
Ensure the containers are completely dry before refilling! 🥰🐶

I had a fantastic time climbing Snowdon at the weekend 🏔🥰
It was really tough, harder than I anticipated but the views.. some of the most beautiful I've ever seen, certainly kept me going!
We all made it to the summit and back down safely 💪🙏
The descent felt a lot harder! 😓

The high will carry me for weeks...and the sense of achievement 😌

Even though I missed the YT pack and my own pups, I was still able to get my doggy fix as there were so many dogs enjoying a hike to the summit with their hoomans!
Here are a few photos 📸 of the hike!
I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is thinking about it! 🥰

I live with my partner Julian, our 5 year old Golden Labrador DJ and our 3 year old Black Labrador X Retriever Donny. I grew up with dogs and they have always had a special place in my heart. It was my love of dogs that led me to become an approved puppy socialiser and foster carer for Medical Detection Dogs (MDD), a charity that trains specialist dogs to detect the odour of human diseases and life-threatening medical conditions. I take care of these amazing dogs in my own home where my job is to help socialise and train them to a set standard. Once approved, these qualified dogs will be carefully matched and partnered with a client who has a life-threatening illness. Donny started his life training to be a Medical Alert Dog, and we adopted him in 2018! I am qualified in Canine First Aid, Canine Behaviour and Puppy Training. We are DBS verified and fully insured, so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. We welcome friendly, well socialised dogs of all ages to join the Yappy Tails pack where they are sure to get all the fuss, attention and love they deserve!

This service is perfect if you are out at work all day, away for the weekend or on a day trip...I can pop in once, twice or three times a day if required. PET TAXI SERVICE: Fully insured, DBS certified, canine first aid trained and with a full clean driving licence, I will transport your pet to and from the groomers, vets, kennels, dog sitters and during house moves safely and in comfort.
