Please please don't walk your doggy's in this heat.

A dog missing a walk won't kill them but the heat can.

I've seen way to many pups this week out in silly heats !

Please be kind .... if you think it's OK then I suggest you walk barefoot on your walk too, oh, and pop a fur coat on too for good measure 😉

International dog day 💕🐕🐾🐾Happy International Day of the Dog!

(Stolen from Donna Ashworth, but so perfectly put.)

I never ever wanted dogs. We grew up ‘cat people’ and dogs just seemed to be too much to me. Too smelly, too wet and muddy, too needy. Cats kind of made you feel inferior, they were aloof, cool and independent and I liked that back then (that’s who I was ‘trying to be’😬).

My husband is very much a dog person, and after a few years rescuing puppies and kittens abroad (long story) and getting a small glimmer of what it could be like, I finally gave in and we got Dave.

Guys, WHAT WAS I WAITING FOR. Dave was followed by Brian (my insistence) because it very quickly became clear to me that having a dog was going to change everything. And some of those things needed to change….

Now my once picture-perfect house probably smells on wet days, and I couldn’t be happier about that. My floor is always a little muddy as the boys patter in and out to the garden - I never look down - except when it’s floor cleaning day. We can no longer have nice white sheets on our bed because you guessed it, the dogs are always on it with us.

It took a while but getting dogs made me realise that some things were being prioritised wrongly.

Too busy? Not a thing - the dogs need cuddled, when they need cuddled.
Stressed out? Call the dogs and bury your face in their sweet little heads and your stress will dissipate rapidly.
Stuck in a perfectionist cycle? That will soon get knocked out of the park with a muddy mate around.
Feeling low? Pick up the lead and let Mother Nature heal you.

Yes they bark at anything with four legs on TV, and our lovely postwomen (who now carries treats). Yes you will never eat in private ever again. Yes they need a lot of looking after (which changes your perspective from ‘inward’ to ‘outward’ and automatically gets you out of your own way) and yes they are costly, time-consuming and will absolutely break your heart into smithereens when it’s their time to go.

But they teach you so much, these little furry friends. They teach you acceptance, utter ‘in the moment-ness’ and how to joy-seek. They love you like no one else can and they adore you for the simple fact that you are you.

It is soul-nurturing, life-giving friendship, without words.
And it will heal parts of you you didn’t know were broken.

And when they are called to the big rainbow bridge in the sky, they will remind you, in their own way, that you must not stop loving like this ever again.

It is a tap that cannot be turned off once it is on.

There is not a day that goes by where I don't give thanks for my dogs. And if I pass one on the street, I am instantly delighted and in a better mood.

They were sent to us, to teach us ‘how’.
Of this I have no doubt.

Happy Day of the dog y’all.
Give them a cuddle from me.

For International Day of the Dog!

I love our own two and all the dogs i get the pleasure of spending time with... thankyou to all their owners for allowing me to have time with them ❤️

THE LOVE OF A DOG

If I were to be tasked
with teaching a loveless world
how to love
I would for sure show them
the love of a dog.

Because the love of a dog
is a commitment

a decision
it is undying
unwaveringly-enduring
and loyal
to the very core of it.

The love of a dog
is wholeheartedly-forgiving
it is soul-nurturing in its purity
and utterly life-affirming.

If I were to be tasked
with teaching a loveless world
how to love
I would for sure show them
the love of a dog.

If you do not know this love
my friend
I urge you
compel you

to seek it out.

A little house guest is visiting before christmas,while mum and dad have a christmas do ... what an absolute delight she is !

Good advice !

If you’re leaving your dog home alone for a short period of time over Christmas, why not make them a ‘Home Alone’ box? This will keep them occupied, and they’ll learn that being by themselves for a little while is not so bad! Here's what you could put in it:

🧸 A couple of stuffed Kongs

🧸 A few dog biscuits wrapped individually in sheets of newspaper

🧸 Empty toilet rolls with chew sticks inside or poked through the sides

🧸 Their favourite toys or anything else they really love to play with
