Wasn't the nicest day to be doing a daily field check but someones got to do it!

The pictures don't show how bad it actually was. It was torrential.

On that note, when we get to this time of year I always get asked if the field floods.
We are very lucky with our location and being on an incline which means we never flood and we barely get a puddle. The worst we get is a puddle at the bottom of the field, about a meter wide, after it's been raining for days and it drains within a few hours of the rain stopping, and we never get muddy.

Please take a look at the page if you are interested in adopting or can help them with their funds for him.

DDB have always been a breed I would love to have but unfortunately we can't take him 😭

🐾 Owners – Watch Out for This Scam! 🐾

It has been brought to our attention that there has been a definite increase in the number of scammers that are sending emails & texts saying your pet’s microchip has “expired” and you need to pay to “renew” it.
❌ This is FAKE! Microchips don’t expire.

What the scam looks like:
* An email, SMS or letter claiming your pet’s microchip registration has expired or will soon expire and demanding a payment (often a one-off fee or “renewal” of £20–£30).
* The message can be highly personalised (pet name, microchip number, your address) to look trustworthy. Scammers get this information from insecure/false registries, data leaks or by scraping social media.

Other important information:
* Scammers create fake microchip registries or clone real-sounding names (e.g., “PetChip Network”, “Petchip.info”)
* In countries with formal microchip databases (for example the UK), microchips themselves do not routinely expire — you only need to keep your registered contact details up to date and you only pay fees to the official database when required. If a message claims a chip will “stop working” unless you pay now, it’s almost certainly a scam.

🚩 Look out for:
⚡ Urgent language: “renew now”, “final warning” messages or threats that your pet will become unregistered
⚡ Strange links asking for payment
⚡ Sender domain not matching any official registry (look carefully at email address, not just the display name)

✅ What to do:
✔️ Ignore & delete the message
✔️ Pop in to the practice with your pet and ask us to check the chip or check it with an official database. Use the gov.uk list of DEFRA-approved databases or an official lookup tool. If the microchip is registered with an approved provider, contact that provider directly, do not use the contact details on the email/SMS/letter
✔️ Report dodgy emails to [email protected].

PLEASE SHARE to help one another‼️

A heads up to the local community would have been nice if someone intended on letting off fireworks 2 months before bonfire night.

I'm totally not against fireworks, I actually love them and will run out to see them but having horses so close, it would have been nice to be made aware so I could keep an eye on them. Not to mention my boarding dogs and my own dogs that will be going out for bedtime wees soon.
