Fingers crossed, but this young man may have found his forever home ❤️
He had a trial night last night, so let's see how that went 🤞😎

Tuesday 20th August 🌤

🐾Penny (who we've missed loads over the last couple of months) Hugo, Tess & Morag had a lovely walk at the dry side of Plymbridge, exploring the woods and having a really lovely time together. So much so they missed the young deer leaping through the undergrowth...phew 😆

🐾 the quiet paths of saltram was the stomping ground for the vocal Bert, Ernie, Devon, Rufus, Jello and Morag. We stayed beneath the shade of the trees and made our way to the pond for a refreshing dip as the sun made an appearance. Much fun with this group as the ran around together.

An absolutely lovely card and box of chocolates as an apology for my bump yesterday from a very sorry doggo. Good job he's as cute as they come, all was already forgiven, but the chocs have been gratefully received 😍

Monday 19th August ☁️

🐾The lovely Angel and I explored the woods today, also playing his favourite game of find it.

🐾Hugo, Whinnie & Morag had a great time in whitleigh woods, splashing around in the stream, darting around together and loving life.

🐾Bruno had so much fun playing with Morag in the garden, I think he missed his little friend 🧡

🐾Took the boisterous boys (Jello and Rufus) to the quiet fields of Billacombe meadows with Morag. They had a great time charging around together.
It's all fun and games until you get a dog using your head to stop during a game of hot pursuit, as your leaned over. Apparently dogs heads are way harder than people's heads 😆
Ouch!!

Thursday 15th August 🌧

🐾Hugo, Henry, Tess and Morag made great use of Plymbridge woods, especially the river on a wet and quiet morning. To show everyone how much fun was being had Henry and Morag pulled some funny faces for the camera 😂

🐾We had a surprise guest for the afternoon walk, so Jello, Freida, Bert, Ernie and Morag were joined by the lovely Mylo and I had the company of my 1st born, Andrew! Much fun was had, especially splashing around in the sea together. The sausages had a great time when the found a small gap under a fence (I'm seeing a pattern here!!) and got to run around a big old field all to themselves. After making their point that they can have fun anywhere they want, they returned through the gap and off we went.

A fun and crazy day with adventures, mishaps, laughter and lots of water, not to mention some great company too 😀

Wednesday 14th August 🌤

🐾Angel enjoyed his morning run around at the park, playing his favourite game and just loving being outside.

🐾Hugo, Rufus and Morag got a high tide at radford Park and so spent some time swimming in Hooe lake, Rufus is such an animated lad and loves to charge into the water as Hugo comes out to ensure some running occurs immediately 😀 Hugo loves to tease him with the rescued sticks to make sure the running continues...such a playful pair.

🐾The 3 sausages, Arthur, Bert & Ernie walked with Jello and Morag at kinterbury creek, all 4 little dogs were in a cheeky mood, rolling around together like playful otters and getting under the fence into the field to chase each other round and having an absolutely amazing time. We bumped into Burnsbys Walkies and Pet Services before we went to the water for some swim fun for Jello and to my amazement Arthur defied the laws of physics and was swimming with Morag...sausages can float!!
At the field we were graced with not one but two birds of prey, how beautiful they were. Although I was a tad concerned for the little sausages at this point 😂

🐾Arlo and all his buddies got to explore plymbridge for the evening walk. Arlo absolutely loves the water and even tried a little bit of scuba diving for a change as he swam completely submerged to get the stick he wanted, he does make us laugh when he shakes off....whilst still swimming!!! 😄

Tuesday 13th August ☁️
Today's win: beating the rain🥳

🐾Hugo, Tess, Rufus & Trixie (Morag was tired from her first day back at work and so stayed in bed lol) enjoyed the cloudy weather at Billacombe meadows, the boys had a glorious time taking it in turns to coerce each other, whilst the girls were more than happy mooching along putting the world to rights!

🐾The post-op bros (Bert & Ernie) were over the moon to come out and play, joined by Jello, Trixie, Morag and the lovely Freya down at kinterbury creek for an hour of discovery, swimming/paddling, adventure, some barking and generally making us laugh.
Then as soon as we got back to the van the pitter patter of rain drops began...

Monday 12th August 🌤
We're back from leave 😎

🐾Angel definitely missed me, he was full of beans and so excited when I turned up this morning. We had a lovely walk and sniffy game and he was his usual charming self 😍

🐾A new walk at efford marsh for Hugo, Whinnie, Archie and Morag. They seemed to love finding the stinky mud patch, but alas I knew there was clean water to play in. I have to say whinnie especially enjoyed her spa treatment in the mud bath, she even got a free facial!!! 🤣

🐾Jello and Rufus were extremely energised at jennycliff, even the cold sea water couldn't calm them down 🙈

Friday 26th July 🌞
(Oops, forgot to post)

🐾a lovely leg stretch for our special lad that is still looking for his forever home. Followed by a tummy rub at home (1st time!!)

🐾Hugo, Whinnie, Archie and Morag loved exploring at derriford, playing in the stream, frolicking in the long grass and running round d the woods.

🐾A calm end to the week with Bella, Enzo, Blue, Trixie and Morag at saltram with a play in the pond.

Thursday 25th July 🌧

🐾A wet walk in every way!! On the upside it was lovely and quiet on the downside...it was very wet!! Alas it IS summer and this IS Plymouth 😂 Other than being taken out side on by the less than graceful Henry and Hugo at full speed, it was a lovely, uneventful walk with lots of swimming, Tess & Henry's favourite kind of walk 💦

🐾Devon and Jello seem to know exactly where the water source is and how to access it at Central park now....oh well happy dogs makes for a happy walker!! 😆
Freida loves the fact that Enzo can match her speed, but bless definitely not her stamina....unless of course she keeps trying lol Enzo loves it tho and has come right out of his shell since starting with us. Just pop Morag back into hers now 😂

Wednesday 24th July ☁️🌧

🐾Our special lad got his favourite walk of sniffy find it with yummy chunks of ham, I felt he deserved something great this morning.💕

🐾Hugo, Baxter, Archie and Morag had a well behaved walk with swimming, play and running around. Even the adolescent terrier was a good girl (Morag)😂

🐾Jello, Enzo, Arthur, Rufus and Morag got to burn off some exuberant energy. Charging around together like deranged lunatics one minute, quietly and calmly mooching around together the next. I love working with these nuttahs!!

🐾Arlo enjoyed his Wednesday evening walk with Trixie, Blue, Morag and Dixie. No photos tho...I forgot!! 🤯

🐾STILL L👀KING🐾 PLEASE HELP HIM FIND HIS FOREVER HOME BEFORE KENNELS BECOME HIS ONLY OPTION.

*UPDATE*
Sorry for lack of response today...work!
We are totally overwhelmed by the response. I am only his dog walker and as such have needed to go back and forth in order to answer questions. As I'm sure you understand this is a really difficult time.

I will put as many answers here as i can, if you still feel you're in a position to help then please message and we can look to move forward, it must be right for you and him, he needs a happy forever home.

*INFO*
He is great with people, big and small.
He is anxious around new dogs, but is happy with dogs he knows.
Never been around cats, so unsure on this.
House trained.
He can be quite anxious.
He has a heart condition that stemmed from lung worm about a year ago and its being managed by medication that's easily available.
He's extremely loving.

I believe that in the right home the behaviours can be sorted, his owner was very sick for a long time and unable to address them.

*ORIGINAL POST*
I've been walking this lovely lad for almost a year for his very poorly owner. However yesterday I recieved a call to say that his owner died on Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately that leaves this 9 year old male, neutered Staffy with no-one. There is no family. Could you, or do you know anyone that could give this boy a loving, decent home. Otherwise there may be no other choice than to place him in kennels.
Thank you for reading this 💔

Tuesday 23rd July 🌥

🐾As the weather wasn't too warm Hugo, Baxter, Tess and Morag enjoyed a dry walk at Cann woods. The stick fiend stumbled across the all time best stick ever....was huge swinging stick! Hugo gave it his all but this stick was left undefeated, but only until next time!!

🐾We kept the theme of a clean, dry walk by heading to Saltram. Jello, Bert, Ernie, Devon, Rufus & Morag were their usual noisy, energetic selves, but we stayed to the quieter route were possible. The clean, dry theme was going so well until the 2 white dogs discovered a hidden route to a dirty, muddy water source and alas 50/50 coloured dogs reappeared 🙈 muddy daddy deployed...that'll teach them 😆
Good luck to the sausages tomorrow for their Harley street housebrick surgery, winter should be more comfortable for them!! 🙈😂

Monday 22nd July ☁️🌥

🐾A great sniff around the Fort this morning.

🐾Hugo, Whinnie, Archie & Morag enjoyed the river at Plymbridge. Whinnie was loving the fallen tree and taking off as many branches as she could, whilst Archie just loves to swim aimlessly and Hugos favourite past time is having ALL the sticks 😆

🐾Bruno & Morag just love to roll around together as well play some sniffy games.

🐾Bert, Ernie, Jello, Freida, Rufus & Morag got to do their thing at Radford Park. Energetic, crazy, noisy and they all get on soo well.

Friday 19th July 🌞🌡

🐾1st walk we got away with the field before the weather started heating up.

🐾Hugo, Whinnie, Archie & Morag got to enjoy the cool waters and shade of Plymbridge. Mostly swimming together with a few moments of running around. A pretty well behaved walk from all 🤩

🐾Bert, Ernie, Bella, Enzo & Morag were more than happy (kind of) getting their feet wet and splashing around in the stream of ham woods and staying cool under the tree canopy. Considering how far Enzo went in the water on Wednesday, he seemed a little sceptical of getting his toesies damp today 🤔 🤣
All extremely well behaved and ended the week on a high, good job gang 😍

Thursday 18th July 🌞

🐾Even tho it was early, it was still warm, so Plymbridge was the fun shelter for Hugo, Tess & Morag. 90% water based fun enjoyed by all!!

🐾The noisy, barky bunch also got to enjoy a different aspect of Plymbridge on this warm afternoon, Bert, Ernie, Devon, Freida, Jello and Morag were full of the usual energy and sound effects despite the warmth of the day. I love this crazy crew, ears not so much 😂

Wednesday 17th July 🌤

🐾A nice sniffy run around the field and freebie biscuit from a passer by! Happy dayz 🤩

🐾Hugo, Baxter, Archie and Morag had a great time at Plymbridge, they even got joined by a spaniel for a while whilst splashing and swimming around. Baxter however decided he's definitely allergic to the water and couldn't possible entertain the idea 😂

🐾Jello, Enzo, Arthur and Morag had a walk at kinterbury creek where we bumped into Jamie Burns briefly. The tide was I enough to enjoy some fun there too, Enzo lent in right upto his neck but mostly enjoy robbing the sticks off Morag after she got out the water 😂

🐾Arlo and friends (Trixie, Blue, Morag, Bowie, Lenny & Ralph) enjoyed there waggy walk Wednesday evening get together for some wooded walking and a play at the water.

A great hump day guys 😍

Tuesday 16th July 🌤

🐾Figures we'd mix it up and so headed to Shaugh Prior with Hugo, Baxter, Enzo, Freida & Morag. They had an amazing time and even got into the river as it wasn't running fast as I thought it may after Mondays rain.

🐾Plymbridge for the lovely Jello, Devon, Bert, Ernie, Tess & Morag. I have now learned that this group mean I should fet ear defenders as some of them get soo excited they bounce and bark as we had to the river with sticks! Sorry to anyone within a 5 mile radius 🤣

Monday 15th July 🌧🌧
I believe that waterproof manufacturers need to perform integrity tests in Plymouth, then perhaps they could make waterproofs that actually are!!! 🤔🙈
🐾A quick run, some sniffs and a walk around with lots of sniffing.

🐾Hugo, Whinnie & Archie at Plymbridge. Where else would they want to be in the pouring rain....the river!!! Lol lots of playfulness 🤩

🐾Happy little Bruno, who still appears to be growing loads, was full of energetic cuddles today. He's going through a fussy eating stage but I managed to get him to eat up all his breakfast and have fun doing so. Played in the garden and enjoyed towel time 😂😍

🐾Jello and Enzo played ball for a while at Central park, loosing 1 on the first throw 😳🤷‍♀️ then we calmed things down met other dogs, sniffed, walked and looked for things to chase. By some miracle I actually found said ball upon leaving the park...😲🥎

🐾A beautiful walk at Plymbridge with Enzo, Trixie, Blue, Morag and Freya joined us too.
Lots of mooching, running, chasing, paddling and swimming. Very proud of Enzo as he went in upto his chest after a slow warm up and starting by getting his ankles wet.
Well done Enzo 👏

Saturday 13th July 🌥
🐾Enzo, Blue, Trixie & Morag at Central park for some ball chasing, chilling under the tree, sniffing, meeting other dogs and general doggo fun. Nice stretch of legs for all of us 😍

Friday 12th July 🌥🌦
🐾a sunny, warm start, great for sniffing out sausage in the long grass and trees.

🐾Still nice and warm so off to Plymbridge with Hugo, Whinnie, Archie & Morag. Some fun in the water (this is apparently non negotiable lol) and able to play with sticks without being robbed!!!

🐾Our walk a saltram started with a few minutes if rain but actually stayed dry thereafter. Enzo, Rufus, Bella, Blue, Trixie and Morag enjoyed our last walk of the week together having brief moments of energy and bouncing (mainly Rufus!!) and lots of mooching and sniffing with a few snuffle times.

Great end to the week before doing the midnight walk with Freya

12/07/2024

Well tonight is the night Freya (my 12 year old) and I will be doing the midnight walk in my dear friends name. Apparently it's going to be a cold and wet walk after a long week of walking. If you can, please support us in this feit to support a very needed resource. Either way....wish us luck and dry prayers 😆
Thank you

Thursday 11th July 🌤
🐾Well my first walk had the energy of a can of redbull lol Hugo, Enzo, Freida, Rufus and Morag charged around like a herd of yapping elephants (apologies again to Tails-A-Wagging Plymouth 😵‍💫) thankfully not for the entire walk, they had moments of calm between the crazy. But OMG they had a great time. Bumped into Elburton & Sherford Pet Care briefly too!

🐾A calmer walk for Jello, Tess, Devon, Bert, Ernie & Morag even when we bumped into Tail Blazers Plymouth at the waters edge (as well as a guy with his dogs) that was a sight to behold as everyone got on soo well. We then bumped into Woofs n' Walkies in the field on the way back so it turned into an extra long walk, which no-one complained about!!

It's soo nice seeing so many dogs together, all getting along impeccably. Also lovely bumping into so many colleagues 😍

Wednesday 10th July 🌤

🐾Our 1st walk is only half an hour so a good sniffy game of find it in the long grass adds value, enrichment, communication, relationship and helps use energy. You can really hear and see how much he loves using his senses.

🐾Enzo, Hugo, Baxter, Archie and Morag explored Bircham woods, interacting together and having great fun.

🐾Arthur, Jello, Rufus Tess and Morag went to Plymbridge fields. The river was alot lower than yesterday so they big dogs got to play in the water and Arthur got quite vocal with his encouragement at some points.

🐾Arlo met his friends (Hunter, Dixie, Blue, Trixie, Morag, Gary, Mouse, Lenny and Simba) at Saltash for lots of running, chasing trains, charging through water and living his best life.

Tuesday 9th July 🌧☁️

🐾Hugo, Baxter, Enzo, Rufus and Morag had a great time running through Billacombe meadows. Hugo & Rufus spent most of it charging around together and looking like giant grass seed velcro strips 😳 😅
(Thoroughly brushed and vulnerable areas checked after the walk!!)

🐾We had to play carefully at Plymbridge today as the river was in spate and flowing fast. Our usual path was inaccessible due to the height of the water so Bert and Ernie had to come and negotiate a different route with me across a fallen tree, but Tess, Jello, Devon and Morag weren't fazed at running through.
We love a mini adventure 😍

Monday 8th July 🌧

🐾The weather wasn't to bad for our walk over the field. Got some running in u til he realised we weren't playing his favourite game of find it, and so the shouting started, he's soo funny and very clear about what he expects from his walkies 😆

🐾Hugo, Whinnie and Archie are also clear on their expectations from being out....must include water!! The boys just love to run, nowhere in mind, just run, unless they're swimming that is. Such a lovely walk with these guys 😍

🐾Bruno was soo happy when Morag and I dropped in to see him. They play so lovely with each other but equally happy playing by each other. He looked so very cute when his fluffiness got a little wet but enjoyed some towel time!

🐾The boys!! Such energetic play from Rufus, Jello and Enzo with Morag joining in when she felt like. They just love to run, chase, bounce and be big old boys together ❤️
