Friday 11th October ☁️
It seems I forgot to put up my last walks of last week so here you go....

🐾Jello, Archie, Rufus, Whinnie and Theo smashed it at Derriford woods, some of them visiting there for the first time and loved mixing it up.

🐾Ham woods saw the end of the week and these guys made the walk so nice. Luna came out for the her first walk with us and was a dream, Penny was loving sprinting briefly into squirrel mode but they are quick there, Bentley demonstrated his barking skills and squirrels and cyclists 😳 Bella did her spontaneous bouncing every so often and Enzo teased himself with the water and sticks.

I can't wait to see everyone again 😍😢
Missing you all ❤️

Hey everyone, surgery went well, I mean I'm still alive right 😂!!!
Just wanted to update everyone (yes I'm still thinking of you all, you're an extended family to me). It was quite a major surgery and I've been told a 12 week recovery period.
I promise I will be back, but I know my walker friends will look after you as much as possible. I will post updates and I hope I've not missed anyone.
Love and miss those floofy (and less floofy) faces, so happy for you to send me little pics and updates. I'm not gone, just on paws lol

So, a bit of a rubbish weekend. I came into hospital yesterday via ambulance. Looks like I'll be having abdominal surgery tomorrow. That will be me out of work for a while.
I'm posting this on my work page. Hopefully available dog walkers that can help cover me will comment on the page with number of spaces, days and areas.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience 😢
Thanks guys 🐾

Thursday 10th October 🌤🌧🌪

🐾What an absolute blinder of a day, first of all the 1100+ mph winds didn't materialise (always a bonus!!) Then both walks were just lovely.
So this morning my friend Perry joined again with Hunter so we then had Tess, Henry, Freida, Jello and Morag too. The sun was out and the river flowing steady for lots of water play. We then bumped into Nikki's Walkies and all the dogs played so beautifully together. At the end of the walk we bumped into Perks Pack and Freida played with her 121 dog mabel so well, it was a real pleasure to watch.

🐾This afternoon I took Rufus, Bert, Ernie and Morag to Billacombe meadows and it was absolutely soaking wet, the rain came down hard and we had thunder. All 4 dogs were absolutely solid, we went on an adventure in the woods and may have got a bit lost, but Rufus was adamant he knew where he was going so off we followed 😂 that'll teach us!!!
Doesn't matter the weather when you walk amazing dogs 😎

Wednesday 9th October 🌤

🐾Beautiful weather for an awesome walk with Rufus, Jello, Archie, Arthur, Baxter and the lovely Theo, his second walk with us and he was way more settled and confident than yesterday.

🐾Arlo met up with old pals Trixie, Blue, Morag, Ralph, Simba, Bowie and Dixie. Lots of playing and sniffing too. A great bunch 😍

Tuesday 8th October 🌧🌧🌧

🐾Well, let's just say that I'm glad I wore waterproofs doubled up!! What a horrible morning, but at least I had my little rays of sunshine to brighten things up!
Baxter, Bert, Ernie, Jello, Whinnie & Tess were golden today and loved the quiet fields of Plymbridge.

🐾 Whinnie and Rufus absolutely smashed it when welcoming in our new boy Theo. He's a little nervous and going to take a little time to build trust with, but I think he's going to make a great new addition to the team.

A wee poem about the life of a dog walker in winter 🥶💨☔

A Walkers Lament

When the sun is a'shinin
From the public we hear
"Your job looks amazin"
But we shudder wi' fear

'Cos though we're aww tanned
Shorts n T-shirts the lot
We know wi' no doubt
It's no often this hot

School holidays finish
And in the blink of an eye
Halloween is upon us
There's no blue in the sky

We remember warm sunshine
That's long gone, what a sin
And we reach for oor jumpers
As the nights they draw in

The leads are aw soakin'
Fingers covered in mud
Favourite walks are aw mawkit
What a drag, what a dud

The rain pours an' it pours
We're aw soaked ti the pants
Even wi the best oil skins
We'd stand nae bloody chance

And then comes the ice
Wi' yer dugs all a'pullin
You're tryin to stay calm
But there's noone your foolin'

You slip an' you slide
In the slush and the mud
An afore you know it
You're on the ground, wi a thud

We've not mentioned that wind
Always blowin' a hoolie
You bought a windproof jacket....
Ha, don't let that fool yi

But still we keep smilin'
Through the harsh winters dance
Would we change this job for another?
You're jokin' no chance

So the public are right,
And our job it is great
Well until the next downpour
Then it's "oh for F* sake

Monday 7th October ☁️

🐾Plymbridge was the backdrop for this mornings adventures with Whinnie, Archie, Bert, Ernie and Morag. A nice dip for the big dogs and lots of running and play from all.

🐾Jello, Rufus, Penny, Bruno and Morag explored Radford Park (Jello may have been more the Explorer than the others for a short time!!) Penny has been away for a while (girl reasons!!) So finding her feet again and Brunos confidence grows weekly, he totally loves Mr popular Rufus!!

Friday 5th October 🌥

🐾an absolute pleasure of a walk to end the week. Not been to this section of Plymbridge with this group as Archie doesn't travel well and gets really anxious, but he's been doing well on the very short journeys (5 mins) so we pushed the travel time. Although it was a bit of a struggle he absolutely loved it here. So did Whinnie, Bella, Enzo and Bentley (who got to ride shotgun and was proud as punch) Bentley is still working it all out but is absolutely loving our different walks and is getting more confident in trying to play eith the other dogs. They all got to do something fun, most swam🏊‍♂️, some played ball 🥎 (we only lost 1 😆), we played a sniffy game of find it , we killed and shredded sticks 🪵 and just had a lovely morning.
Thanks for being such an awesome team ❤️

Thursday 3rd October 🌤

🐾what a lovely walk this morning at Plymbridge. My friend Perry joined us with Hunter, he had a lovely time with Freida, Henry, Jello, Tess and old friends Trixie & Morag. They were all happy to be playing in the river which definitely excited Freida and fuelled her happy energy levels.

🐾 Bert, Ernie, Devon, Trixie and Morag explored central park, up and down the banks, saying hi to other dogs and running around whenever they felt like it, with the odd game of find it to refocus them all.

Blue came out with me later to start his new training program around his high prey drive as its so problematic that his life outside is always leaded for his own saftey as well as the safety of everything that moves. So watch this space!! And thank you to Bentley’s Buddies for helping us on this journey to freedom 😍

Wednesday 2nd October 🌤

🐾a full house again this morning with Archie, Arthur, Baxter, Bert, Ernie and Jello at Derriford woods. Baxter and the 3 sausages absolutely love playing together wherever they may be. Jello REALLY wanted to go play with the squirrels but he's just toooo big and becomes quite deaf!! Archie loves the phrase 'I'll do me!' And he does it so well 😍

🐾Arlo came to central park with his many friends. Trixie, Blue, Morag, Bowie, Lenny, Ralph, Toloula and Frida. Not the peaceful walk we hoped for (a delayed response to the full moon earlier this month perhaps lol) but fun never the less. Arlo did really well on some stuff he used to struggle with. Like letting another dog keep his huge stick and letting Trixie hold a ball she found. Big deals, trust me!!
Arlo is going to be off for a couple of weeks now for a little planned op, so we all wish him a speedy recovery 🙏

Tuesday 1st October 🌥

🐾So the winter muddiness is starting to lay itself around all the access paths, a sign of the good times to come!!
This proves to be the most beneficial to the sausages 😆 Jello, Tess & Devon were very happy that we found some safe swimming water for them, Bert, Ernie & Baxter had the best time running around like absolute lunatics after each other. As the weather was nice there were many dogs around for different interactions including Nikki's Walkies and her 5. They were all buzzing 😍

Monday 30th September ☁️

🐾So we meet again Monday!! Just 1 walk today but it was a full house, greatful after a cold and busy working weekend! Here we have Whinnie, Archie, Jello, Bert, Ernie and Bruno all having fun together at efford marsh. Whinnie adores the mud spa followed up by a relaxing swim, the sausages love to exercise their vocal cords, Archie is happy in a forest gump kinda way, Jello would have been way happier disappearing into the sunset ut as the sun wasn't out I kept him on lead so he didn't go looking for it! And our little Bruno loved getting to know everyone, not sure how he felt about is accidental swim but he fronted it well lol

⚠️Conkers are NOT safe for our dogs⚠️
They are toxic if eaten and a choking hazard as a toy.
Becare out there peeps

Friday 27th September 🌤

🐾What a lovely walk at Bircham Valley with Archie, Whinnie, Bella, Enzo and Bruno. Lots of bouncing around, slashing, playing and welcoming lil Bruno to the Friday group (as he wasn't well on his usual day!)
An awesome end to the week 🙌 😎
