Monday Moochers 🌿

Ronnie, Milo, Maisie, Rusty, Molly, Dolly, Monty, Winnie & Louie 🐾

Never a dull day in the life of a dog walker.. kick starting our week with a bit of carnage 😅

We enjoyed a lovely quiet walk through the fields to start, we bumped into some usual friends so Rusty and Ronnie had a good game. Milo found himself a lovely rock and Maisie could be heard yodelling across the lands. Ronnie joined us with his lovely new haircut which had him in good spirits so he treated himself to a lovely roll and some rabbit. Safe to say he looked like an extra from a civil warm film and promptly had another shower back at the van 😅💦🐰

Finishing up lots of play for Winnie, Monty & Louie. Molly enjoyed a playful roll in the grass, Dolly trotted around my feet whilst some of the others did their best to keep me off mine 🤸🏻‍♀️

Dolly, Molly, Monty, Stella, Boris, Bonnie, Maisie & Ralph 🐾

Bumper paddock walk to finish a rather busy week 🏃🏻‍♀️

Some more introductions today as some are like passing ships so Stella got to meet Maisie and Maisie got to meet Ralphy. And not to forget we had the usual Friday crew. Lots of chasing about for Stella & Monty with a side order of Maisie. Molly enjoyed a lovely roll in the grass, Ralphy loved a dig in the pit, Boris had a dunk in the water and Bonnie could be heard giving me treats based instruction across the land 😅

Have a lovely weekend everyone, thank you for the top teir reviews this week 💕

I'll be having a beer to celebrate 🥳

Boris, Hamish, Milo, Maisie, Ronnie & Rusty 🐾

Just the one soggy walk for us lot today!

Plenty of games for the boys in the grass today, Maisie did her best to convince me she doesn't get fed and must be allowed exclusive access to the treat pouch 😅
Lots of towel offs back and the van and soggy doggos wrapped up like tacos 🌮

Last walk with the lovely Huxley this morning, he met Louie and had some fun with his tall and small friends. Lots of rolling about for everyone on the first walk 🌿

Second walkers of the day and we played dodge the tractor. Another fun filled play session between Winnie & Monty through the grass. We bumped into our Boston terrier friends and their owners so lots of fun to be had 🙌🏻

Finishing up with are last walkers of the day and we enjoyed some blackberry picking, some fun in the water and Hamish rolling in anything he could find 💩

Quiet Tuesday so we did the one bumper walk 🌿

Bruce met some more of the team and did brilliantly. Bobby was made up to see bestie Ronnie and enjoyed many a game in the grass. Hamish found something nice to roll in. Boris enjoyed sampling the grass whilst Maisie did her best to put some holes in my p**p bags 💩

Monday Moochers 🌿

Molly, Dolly, Monty, Winnie, Huxley, Maisie, Milo, Ronnie & Rusty 🐾

Lovely start to the week as we saw the return of Ronnie from his holidays! Very pleased to see his friends and enjoy his usual roll in the grass. Milo was full of beans and enjoyed spraying us all with the water today 💦

Finishing up we had games galore in the fields. Winnie & Monty did a very good job of tiring each other out, not to be outdone Huxley despite his stature joined in and gave them a good run for their money. He may be small but he is mighty 😂💪🏻

Huxley, Boris, Bonnie, Ralph, Molly, Dolly & Monty 🐾

Lovely paddock session to finish our week 🙌🏻

Huxley met some more of the crew and did wonderfully. True to form everyone was very welcoming and even managed to coax a game out of him. Monty found a ball so was as happy as a clam whilst the other were happy to enjoy a chilled mooch about the grass 🌿

Thanks again for a cracking week everyone, have a wonderful weekend ✨

Bishop, Ralph, Boris, Hamish, Milo, Maisie & Rusty 🐾

Lovely weather for dogs & ducks 🐶🦆
Not optimum photography weather today so mainly took a few soggy pics 📸

A rather sedate start to the day as Hamish was not impressed it was coat weather! Bishop and Ralphy enjoyed a game and Boris could be seen blinking away the rain as it became more torrential 🌧️

Finishing up our day we bumped into some friends we usually see on our jollies who everyone was pleased to see. Rusty had a good game with Bear the Boston terrier whilst Maisie did a quick scout to see if anyone else brought some snacks. Milo found a lovely rock to add to his collection 🪨

Huxley, Mabel, Cooper, Bee, Webber, Winnie, Louie, Boris, Maisie, Hamish, & Bishop 🐾

Big JB welcome to Huxley who is joining us for some ad hocery 🙌🏻🥳

We saw the return of the doods this morning after their holibobs, so some very excited puppers! Everyone was very welcoming of new boy Huxley and gave him the space he needed to be comfortable and come out of his shell 🐚

Second walkers of the day and I basically walked Webber, Boris & a blonde blur of fur in the form of Louie & Winnie. Excellent fun watching them tire each other out 😂

Finishing up the day a nice quiet jaunt with the trio in the fields. We bumped into some friends to start, Maisie was very pleased to make some new friends. Bishop enjoyed a roll and Hamish was surprisingly spritely 🏃🏻‍♀️💨

06/08/2024

Tuesday Team ⭐

Louie, Bobby, Nellie, Bruce, Bishop, Hamish, Boris & Maisie 🐾

Two very different walks today but equally as enjoyable 😁

First walk with a bunch of loonies to start. Nellie & Louie enjoyed rolling in some p**p. Bobby did his best to keep up with the multiple games of chase me courtesy of Nellie and Bruce did fantastically on his first out and about walk despite being grouped with a bunch of nutters. Nellie expressed her desire to also become a walker of dogs and promptly took Bruce for a walk 😂

Fishing up we enjoyed a nice leisurely walk. We enjoyed picking some blackberries that were both a hit and a miss for some. A bit of a paddle in the water for all as it got warmer and some hidden treats in the grass to get everyone's noses working 🌿

Monday Moochers 🌿

Maisie, Milo, Rusty, Molly, Dolly, Monty, Winnie & Webber 🐾

Lovely quiet walk to start our week with the strawberry blonde trio. Milo found a nice rock he brought on along to join us on our walk 🪨

Friday Furries 🐶

NELLY, BETTY!, Maisie, Boris, Ralph, Boris, Bonnie, Optimus, Bee, Molly, Dolly Monty & Stella 🐾

What an exceptional boost of serotonin I received today!! It came in the lovely forms of Nelly & Betty returning for some paddock fun with me and their old pals 🥹 After feeling melancholy about Roxy's departure it really was a lovely pick me up to see them again. Maisie was in high spirits today and not only tried to eat all of my treats she's progressed to face eatery. Ralph also loved making some new friends 💕

We finished up the day with a nice quiet walk to end a very busy week. As the weather has cooled somewhat we saw some play from Stella and Monty in the water 💦

Have a lovely weekend everyone, thank you for being so understanding about all the weather related changes this week. Not only do your dogs make this a wonderful job but your support is top notch 🤌🏻

01/08/2024

Today marks our last walk with the lovely Roxy. Roxy's fosterer didn't know how much time they would have together, whether it would be a short time or a very long time. I know we are both in absolute agreement that what little time we've both had has irrefutably been heart changing.

I'm sending all my love to Roxy's fosterer for giving her a wonderful time and home. She will be greatly missed. I've looked forward to seeing her every week, she has well and truly come out of her shell and shown that with a little patience and trust they let you into their hearts and they take pieces of yours in return 🥹

Hopefully one day our paths will cross again 💕

True to form I'm off for a little cry, the best job but without a shadow of a doubt one of the hardest on your heart 💔

Roxy, Stella, Boris, Hamish, Maisie, Bishop, Milo & Rusty 🐾

Another set of early jaunts to beat the worst of the heat 💪🏻🔥

Fun filled walk to start the day, we bumped into a lovely lab who Stella had a lovely game with. Roxy saw the pair of nutters and thought better of it and left them to it. Boris & Hamish had a gentle mooch and enjoyed having a sniff 🌿

Finishing up I definitely earned my pennies, no idea what you guys fed the last walkers of the day but I think I gained muscle carrying back all of their many poos! 😂
When they were crouched down making intent eye contact with me they did enjoy a game and a bark and the hay bales 🚜

I'm keeping an eye on the weather for the rest the day as tomorrow seems to be a bit cooler but will send messages out to everyone booked in when I've made an educated decision 🤓

Roxy, Winnie, Boris, Maisie, Bishop & Hamish 🐾

Lovely walk in the fields to start. We kept it nice and chilled, more treats hiding in the grass and a quick splash to keep cool 🌬️

Finishing up in the woods with some lovely poses from the trio and another dip to ward off the heat 🔥

More of the same tomorrow folks, earlier times, shorter walks and likely more sweat from yours truly 🥵

Boris, Hamish, Maisie, Bobby & Bishop 🐾

Lovely early morning jaunt with our smaller crew today. We kept it nice and chill, focusing on keeping the noses busy and the brain engaged. Bobby had a nice roll & Boris enjoyed some water fun 💦

More of the same tomorrow folks ☀️

Two walks, earlier times, safety first, so your canines are fine 🙌🏻😎

Milo, Ronnie, Louie, Maisie, Rusty, Molly, Dolly & Monty 🐾

Well it looks like summer has finally arrived! 🥵🔥☀️

Monday mornings bunch were full of beans, lots of games in the grass and some fun in the water 💦

Finishing up we had some more fun in the water and I even got nice and soaked myself! 😂

Thanks all for working around the last minute chops and changes, please keep an eye on your phone's for updates as I'll likely be messaging you incessantly 🤳🏻

Friday Furries 💕

Winnie, Stella, Ralphy, Bonnie, Optimus, Bee, Molly, Dolly, Monty, Ronnie & Bishop 🐾

Fun filled paddock walk to start, Ralphy, Winnie & Stella had a grand old time having fun the grass running about after each other. We also worked on keeping them calm and their noses busy with finding the treats. Bonnie could be heard making her treat demands whilst Bee had a lovely much needed dunk in the bath 🛁

Finishing we had a nice jaunt in the fields where we bumped into some friends so had a lovely big group walk with some wonderful play. Monty was full of beans and could be seen hopping through the grass looking like bugs bunny 🐰

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Thanks for another top week of having the best job 🤗

What lovely weather for ducks & dogs 🦆🐶

Naturally I've just got home for a cup of tea and the sun has come out after a day of weather my rubber coat in 18° 😂🫠

Lovely soggy walk in the marshy fields for our first walkers of the day. Milo rejoined us after his weekend away and boy was he excited to see everybody again! Rusty had a funny five minutes in the water and Hamish didn't speak to me because he refuses to believe he's wearing his coat in July 🧥

Finishing everyone was very interested in the gay bales in the field and all were very pleased to have a roll in the freshly cut grass. Ralphy could be seen rolling in grass, water and mud today whilst Bishop tried to work out if he found the hay bales exciting or scary. Roxy enjoyed a run after the boys and Boris was happy to be wrapped up like a burrito back at the van 🌯

🙏🏻🐾😔

🐾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 💔

Maisie, Bishop, Hamish, Molly, Dolly, Monty, Winnie & Boris 🐾

Later start today as the doods are off on their holibobs 🏖️

We had some fun in games in the paddock today, no that isn't a new dog. Your eyes are deceiving you. That is in fact Monty aka Sir Montague with his devilishly handsome new haircut! Winnie was so overcome by his handsome she spent the entire walk chasing him about the field 🌿

Finishing up some climbing in the woods. Lots of trees down so plenty for me to climb under whilst Maisie tried her best to get my treats whilst I was down or affectionately give my eyeballs a swift lick. Bishop enjoyed climbing on any and all logs today whilst Hamish wanted to speak to the manager about the sheer volume of obstacles his small legs were subjected to 😅

Tuesday Team ⭐

Bobby, Bruce, Roxy, Boris, Optimus, Bee, Maisie, Ronnie & Hamish 🐾

Bruce continued his initiation into the JB crew and met some more friendly faces. Roxy enjoyed doing some run ups to the drop and have a roll. Bobby is very much enjoying the long grass and leaping through them like the march hare 🐰

Finishing up our day and we had a nice surprise in the grass being cut. Ronnie spent most of the walk rolling through the mounds, Hamish was quick to follow although I suspect his was more p**p related. Maisie thought it was Christmas when she realised I'd forgot to zip up my treat bag so a Hounds head immediately took advantage of that 🐽

Ronnie, Rusty, Stella, Optimus, Bee, Maisie & Louie 🐾

What in the seven gates of hell happened today?! 🛑

Absolute chaos on the roads everywhere from when I took my own nutter out first thing til I got in and sat down at 4pm today with only five dogs booked in 😂😭

Despite time and traffic not being on our side today we still enjoyed a fairly summery day of walks 💃🏻

First walkers of the day and we had a very chilled walk with the pugs and friends. Maisie was very pleased to see fellow foody and top gal pal Bee today. Louie spotted his new lovely haircut and Optimus enjoyed trying to find the rabbit p**p 🐰💩

Our last walkers of the day and Ronnie could be seen third wheeling on Rusty and Stella's play date. Despite Rusty initially not being sure about Stella they quickly paired off and enjoyed some wonderful play. Ronnie did enjoy some play but was happy to enjoy a more leisurely stroll 💕

🥵🌞🌞🥵🌞🥵🌞🥵🌞

Christ on a bike that was a warm one! 🚲🌡️

We forwent our weekly Friday paddock walk today in favour of getting out earlier and getting everyone walked and home in a timely manor ⌚⌛

Lovely shaded walk for our first walkers of the day. Bonnie enjoyed her first out and about walk with me and her friends and she did exceptionally well, we bumped into plenty of people and she was an absolute champ about it. If you didn't see us in the woods today you likely heard us with Stella baying til her beagle heart was content! The grass seeds found Webber today so he looked extra disheveled today and Boris enjoyed a very well earned dunk in the water to conclude our first walk 💦

Finishing up we bumped into some more friends on our last walk of the day. Ralphy did exceptionally well considering he's never met our regular bump into each other walk buddies. Monty's recall was excellent today and he was very receptive to the whistle. Both girls enjoyed finding the treats in the long grass 🌿

Have a lovely weekend, I'll be living out my period drama dreams on a shire horse horse and cart picnic ride with some gal pals 🐎

Maisie enjoyed a lovely p**p roll to kick start our day, she was very pleased with herself and had some lovely fly friends who joined her on the walk. The boys enjoyed a game in the grass and thankfully stayed p**p free 💩

Finishing up a chilled walk to finish as the heat had crept up. We hung out in some shaded spots and everyone was quick to jump in a muddy puddle. Did I contemplate joining them? Absolutely! 💦

Humpday Hounds 🐶

Mabel, Cooper, Louie, Optimus, Bee, Bishop, Hamish, Maisie, Webber, Winnie & Boris 🐾

We had some company on some of the walks today so my glamorous assistant enjoyed meeting some Furries faces and the doggos enjoyed another treat dispenser 🍬

Lovely field walk to start our day, Cooper made a friend in Josh and could be seen avidly following him about for treats. Mabel and Louie loved a prance through the grass and the pugs had a good workout trying to navigate through the long grass 🌿

Mid morning walk in the woods. Slow jaunt for Hamish as he cursed me for picking the big hill to walk up straight off the bat. Maisie and Bishop had very busy noses so we're content to let them lead the way 👃🏻

Finishing up Winnie rejoined us after her first season and she was full of beans and very pleased to see everyone. When she wasn't doing her absolute best to cake herself in anything gross she enjoyed a game with Webber who made her particularly brave in the water. Boris enjoyed making a friend in Josh and enjoyed a snuggle in the van 💕

16/07/2024

Tuesday Team ⭐

Bruce, Ralph, Nellie, Bobby, Optimus, Bee, Maisie, Hamish & Ronnie 🐾

More meets and greets to start our day, Bruce continued his initiation into the JB crew by meeting fellow newbie Ralph and seasoned veteran Nellie along with the puglet mascots. Bruce was quite taken with Bee who could be seen flying at him like a piranha to compensate for her lack of height. Lots of games and play as Nellie brought her usual bout of zoomies and Bobby did his best to keep up with his little legs 🏃🏻‍♀️💨

Finishing a gentle jolly in the woods, a bit on the slippy side I could be seen clinging to anything to stay upright. Maisie did her best to get in my treat back and had a good game of watching me wobble and fend her off. Ronnie brought his A game posing face along with Hamish not to be outdone 📸

Monday Moochers 🌿

Rusty, Bee, Milo, Maisie, Louie, Dolly, Molly & Monty 🐾

Back to winter today so less on the photo front as we all got a big soggy, my phone included 🤳🏻

Lovely walk with the strawberry blonde club to start our week off. We had some fun hiding the treats in the grass and some very amusing towels dry rolls back at the van 💦

Finishing up the rain continued it's onslaught so more soggy doggies. Water fun for Louie and Monty whilst the girls looked on stood up to their ankles and that was quite enough 🌊

12/07/2024

Friday Furries 💕

Molly, Dolly, Monty, Bishop, Maisie, Bonnie & Boris 🐾

Finishing up another lovely week of walks in the paddock for a session. More meets and greets today as Maisie hadn't met the trio yet. Quick hellos and off they went. Lots of dipping in and out of the tub to keep cool today and lots of noise from Maisie and Bonnie trying to out do each other 🔊🗣️

Have a great weekend everyone! Come on England ⚽

Thursday Friends 💕

Roxy, Ralphy, Ronnie, Hamish, Boris, Milo, Maisie, Louie, Rusty & Bishop 🐾

A lovely field mosh pit to start the day with some very playful pups. Milo is back from his holibobs so he was full of beans and Easter to chase Louie & Rusty about 🌿

Second walkers of the day and when I wasn't falling down a hole(😮‍💨) we enjoyed some lovely play from Roxy who continues to come out of her shell and show more of her personality to me and her new friends. Ralphy had a good game with Ronnie as well as a nice roll. Boris and Hamish were happy to keep to a slow stroll as it was on the warmer side of warm 🪭

Back home to the ice pack 🧊🦵🏻
