Houndabout MK - Enclosed Dog Exercise Fields

09/10/2024

Hopefully the person that thinks it's ok to throw their Starbucks coffee cup over the fence in field 1 sees this post... please don't book to use the facility again. People like you are not welcome 😡

Coffee cups/bottles/cans must go home with you please (please note, not in the bin - that is for dog 💩 only).

Speaking of dog 💩 I have noticed an increase in the number being left/missed over the past couple of weeks. As always I appreciate the efforts of the large majority that are respectful and vigilant but to those that have been visiting recently and responsible for the 💩 being missed please do better. Thank you ☺️😅🙌🏻

I hope everyone is enjoying the weather. 😎 A couple of things to be aware of when using the facility please.

WATER - Please bring your own fresh water and water bowl - we currently have no water accessible due to tap hose being damaged. 😩

WATER TROUGH - This has a split and is leaking water at the bottom, hence why it's been fenced off, so please keep away. 😮‍💨

DOG BINS - For dog waste only! BIG RED SIGNS to say this and yet I'm still fishing out drinking bottles/cans weekly! 🥴🙄🤬

⚠️⚠️ IF you plan to continue using Houndabout for the foreseeable future PLEASE READ! ⚠️⚠️

This is my first post in months and I'm sorry it's not a more positive one - I'm not sure whether it's the fields or myself that have felt more battered and bruised by the winter this year 😩 It's felt like one thing after another over the last few months and makes me regularly question myself whether I've got the energy for this anymore... 🏳

I've now been laid up in bed for the last 5 days with either Covid or Flu 😩😷 so unfortunately I've been unable to do my regular maintenance at the fields.

One user contacted me over the weekend to let me know that they'd found a few missed poos in field 2 and they kindly picked them up but even before the weekend I had noticed a definite drop in the standards expected recently across both fields as I was finding more on my checks than previously...

I fully appreciate the grass is getting longer than I'd ideally allow it but the ground is still so wet, there's little chance of cutting any time soon.

I really hope people can start being more respectful of the facility and each other by being MORE vigilant and responsible for your own dogs 💩 !

I will hopefully get over to the fields over the next few days, health permitting, but I'm conscious that with the Bank Holiday weekend ahead if I find standards continue to be below par I'll need to consider my next move, be it reducing session availability until the grass has been cut OR CLOSING COMPLETELY until further notice..

Thank you for reading, and your cooperation. Martin.

Mac and I enjoyed an early start and our first visit of 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣ doing maintenance checks in both fields and giving him a good run in the process.

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all our visitors, past, present and future, a very happy and healthy new year 🎉 and hope that everyone has had a great Christmas. Due to ill health I've not been very active on social media for the past few months but hope for a better year.

Finally, I know I say it every year but a big thank you to everyone that continues to support Houndabout, whether through regular visits, or an occasional visit, liking and/or sharing of our posts and through your recommendations. I will forever be grateful and hope that you continue to enjoy the facility 🐾🙌🙏
