👑 Royal Decree from Princess Pickles 👑
Subjects, you may recall that last week’s noble effort to tame my royal grass was cut short when the lawnmower declared mutiny. I am pleased to announce it has now been repaired and thoroughly reprimanded.
We shall resume our grand campaign this Saturday at 12 o’clock sharp.
Special commendation to Sir Kobi the Doberman, who bravely took up the manual mower in the meantime. His dedication is unmatched, though his technique involves more chasing than cutting.
All loyal subjects are summoned to assist — bring your energy, your good humour, and perhaps a biscuit or two (for morale, of course). Together, we shall reclaim the park from the tyranny of the tall grass! 🌿🐾

We have a few items of lost property up at the exercise area. If they belong to anyone, you’ll find them on top of one of the posts.

🐾👑 Royal Proclamation from Princess Pickles 🐾👑

Dearest subjects,
A most loyal servant named Grace joined the royal groundskeeping team today and performed her duties with tremendous spirit and skill. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed — the Royal Court of Muddy Paws and Wagging Tails salutes you, Grace! (for the H&S police, she was strictly supervised!)

However, a most unfortunate event befell us… our mighty lawnmower (henceforth known as Sir Whirrington) has taken ill and could mow no more. The royal grass-cutting ceremony was forced to pause midway through its noble quest.

But fear not! The royal household shall resume its labours another day, when Sir Whirrington is repaired and ready to roll once more.

Until then, loyal subjects, please tread lightly and give thanks to Grace for her valiant service.

With affection and authority,
Princess Pickles 🐾👑

A Message from Lady Rosie, Loyal Subject of Princess Pickles 🐾

Dearest friends of the realm,

As devoted servant to Her Royal Fluffiness, I come bearing an urgent plea. The royal lawns have grown wild again — even the squirrels are getting lost in it.

Her Majesty has decreed a grand gathering at 11am tomorrow to restore order to the park. I, Lady Rosie, shall be in attendance to supervise and possibly roll in the freshly cut grass.

Please, fellow subjects, lend your paws (or hands) to the cause — mowing, pruning, tidying, or simply moral support with snacks. Together we shall ensure the park is once again fit for our Queen!

Yours loyally,
Lady Rosie of the Beach and Biscuits 🐕💖

A Whisper from Gert, the Quiet Assassin 🎾🐾

Greetings, subjects.

It is I — Gert. Mistress of stealth, seeker of snacks, and devoted guardian of my ball (yours are safe, don’t flatter yourselves).

The royal lawns have become wild and unruly. Even I, master of silent approaches, am tripping over tufts. The humans will gather at 11am this Saturday to bring order back to the park.

If you love the park as much as I love treats, come lend a paw. There’ll be mowing, pruning, tidying… and hopefully someone brings biscuits. (Hide from Alison!)

With quiet dignity,
Gert the Serene and Snack-Motivated 👑🍪

A Royal Request from Kobi the Defender of Balls 🎾👑

Greetings, loyal park-goers.

It is I, Kobi — proud guardian of the fields, protector of balls, and professional grass-stain collector. I may look fierce, but I assure you, I’m really just a softie with excellent fetching skills.

The royal lawns are growing wild again, and even I’m losing my ball in the jungle. I humbly ask you to join the noble cause at 11am this Saturday to help trim, tidy, and restore our beloved park.

Mowers, pruners, biscuit-bringers — all are welcome. Together, we shall reclaim the grass!

Yours faithfully,
Sir Kobi of the Park 🐾

A Royal Announcement from Princess Pickles 🐾👑
Dear minions,
You may have missed my earlier proclamation — I shall forgive you (this time). My royal lawns are in dire need of trimming, and my loyal staff will assemble at 11am this Saturday to carry out my wishes.
I command that all who frolic in my park consider joining them. There will be tasks for all ranks — mowing, pruning, tidying, and, of course, supervising (my personal favourite).
Your Queen thanks you in advance for your service. Bring treats. For me. (Maybe staff too?)
— Her Majesty, Princess Pickles of the Park 🐾

Don’t let the lawn win!
Join us at 11am this Saturday to help tame the grass and tidy the park.

Allergic to mowing? No worries — we need pruners, tidiers, poo-patrollers and drink-bringers too.

Our park runs on volunteer power, so if you’ve never helped before… this might be your moment to shine (or at least to de-weed).

🐾 A little reminder from your local dog park team 🐾

Popped by the park this evening around half 5 and found a pile of dog poo just eight steps from the benches and ten steps from the bin. Honestly… that’s not ok.

I’ve cleared it now (after picking up after my own two dogs ), but it’s frustrating to think people are still leaving mess for others to deal with.

Please, if you bring your dog here, bring bags too. It takes seconds and keeps the park safe and pleasant for everyone—especially the dogs who love to run free.

Let’s keep our park something we can all be proud of 💚

Hi all, sorry its early but Christmas is coming! Anyone fancy getting together Monday 15th December for a Dog Park get together 7pm at Southern Cross? festive Feast menu. Will need a £5 deposit and menu choices before end of September. See menu link below. Although the Cross is dog friendly may be better if we don't bring all of them as it may get a tad messy and would be good for the humans to be able to socialise on their own xx let me know if you are interested and we can get a night out planned. If you know anyone at Dog Park who isn't on FB, give them a shout. Merries xx Jane

Book your table at The Southern Cross in Middlesbrough this festive season and join us to celebrate the festivities with friends and family.

Dear Customer,

Congratulations on acquiring your spaniel.

Please find the instructions for your particular model listed below:

Although your spaniel comes fully assembled, due to particular issues during production, we do occasionally have issues with components such as screws. They invariably are either loose or missing altogether.

Mode 1: This is the sleep mode, activated for the majority of the day as the spaniel ages. This is normal and you should not worry about it, just accept the peace and quiet while you can.

Mode 2: Anarchy. Although we have tried to ease the effect of anarchy mode, it’s not always possible. There are inherent issues with the timer settings of anarchy mode in regards to there being none. Should your spaniel suddenly go from comatose to running around the walls, we cannot stop this feature.

Sunlight: Do not allow your spaniel to stay in the sun too long. They can burn if left unattended but they also recharge. Too much of a charge and mode 2 can be activated without warning.

Energy consumption: This has been an ongoing issue as their energy consumption is too direct. We have tried to put baffles, non return valves and diversions in place but none seem to work adequately. Safe to say what goes in comes out, in both solids and gas. The gas, although noxious, can only inhibit breathing of the owner for up to ten minutes.

Naming: Your spaniel comes untitled as we feel owners should use names of their own. If you are unsure, we have listed below a few names our owners like to use:
Sh****ad
You’re kidding me
Is that yours?
Don’t you dare
Ok, you
As***le
Put that down
Why?
Get that out of your mouth

The zipper: We ask you not to try to open a spaniel’s zipper on their back as this will invalidate your one hour warranty. Rumours that they are merely toddlers in a dog suit is highly contested.

Software: Your spaniel is pre-installed with the highest software and hardware. This includes the loyalty chip, the love every one chip, fun chip and, of course, the highly popular mayhem chip. They are all running on the Whatthehell operating system 12.2. Although this has been in circulation for many years, we have found it simply cannot be improved upon.

Should you have any queries you can reach us on 118-what-did-I-do

Thank you.

We hope you have many years of enjoyment with your spaniel.

Please be aware that by the time you have read this, your warranty will have run out.
Unfortunately, we do not renew warranties and we do not offer refunds or returns..ever. It’s your problem now.
