Sorry for the radio silence.
My (Sam) lovely Mum passed away a few weeks ago and whilst I am still dog sitting and having the weekly day visit dogs, I just haven't been posting as much.

Dog Sitting was something that Neil has wanted to do for a long time and having a job where he finished at lunchtime was ideal, as we could both take the dogs who were staying out on walks together.
Just over 6 months ago, Neil got an 8-4:30 job instead, which is brilliant as it's more sociable hours, he's appreciated a whole lot more, gets more job satisfaction, et.c, but it did mean that I started doing pretty much all of the dog sitting and walking myself, including 'day dogs' on Wednesday/Thursday/Friday.
Legally, one human is allowed to walk 4 dogs at a time...that's fine if they're all cooperative and get on well, but I know the dogs we walk well and know my own capabilities as well, so I'll really only walk 3 max, unless the 4th dog is one I completely trust.
Because of this, we/I can't take on too many dogs...we have Uma and the 'day dogs', so where we may have been able to have 2 or 3 dogs staying over on top of that, we now can't have any double bookings when it comes to stay overs.
This has lead to lots of people who have semi regularly had their dogs staying with us, not being able to get the dates they'd like...and because of that, I think it's best that we don't take on any 'new' dogs, rather concentrate on the ones I'm lucky enough to be trusted with that are already in our diary.

Sorry if that causes any inconvenience, but I don't want to be stretching myself too thin (I'm also a Mum and have other commitments) and want to make sure the dogs that are in my care are given 100%
Thanks for your understanding 🐾🖤

Wednesday morning hugs with Billy B.
Asta and Uma are currently chasing each other up and down the stairs. We've only been in 10 minutes, they must be on their 20th 'go' 🤭
Off for a (potentially 🌧) walk in a bit, but for now it's much needed coffee and what better way to have it than in the company of 3 lovely beings ☺️🐾

29/08/2024

Flo-Flo goes home tomorrow 😪
Uma will definitely miss her morning washes, afternoon hugs and mad zoomies with you!

Here they are, pretending not to be absolute softies and stopping their washing ritual every time I picked up my 'phone to film them 🤭

Facebook keeps telling me I should make a reel...and I'm nothing if not obliging 😉 #NeilandSamGoWalkies #FormbyBeach #beach #Labrador #CockerSpaniel

Stick to the paths around here, you never know what's lurking in the undergrowth 😉 #BlackLabSquad

More from National Trust Formby, Monday 29th August, 2024 Lola, Leo and Mitch (...and Uma and us!) 🌞🏖🌊

*SOUND ON* Asta is confused by change. I usually pick her up at 9AM, but today her Dad dropped her off at 07:30. When she's confused she likes to vocalise. When she's excited she likes to vocalise. I suggested we tell her Mum & Dad that she should audition for The X Factor or Britain's Got Talent, but she's informed me that she's far too classy for "that sort of nonsense". (For anyone concerned, Asta is absolutely fine! She is currently on the dog sofa, with Uma next to her, after those two gave each other lots of kisses and I've already done 3 × "Ooh, that's the spot!" back rubs and, as her waggy tail will tell you, she's quite content, just chatty 😊)

5 bags of dog 💩 and 2 people tell me they'd "love to do what you do" and it's not even 10:30AM 🤭 The 💩 bags I can deal with, but when one of the humans asks "Does this pay well?" (as they watch you one-handedly reach to scoop poo number 4 up), you quickly realise that, despite them saying they'd love to spend their day with dogs, they probably wouldn't. I could (and have!) worked in an office and in retail and yes, it did pay more and I didn't have to pick up as much poop, BUT I was also spending my day surrounded by humans and they're not nearly as easy to deal with as dogs 😉 Anyway, here's Uma, Bodhi and Asta (who was on go slow because she's not had nearly enough coffee...or is that me?! 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️🤭) - the beings I choose to spend the majority of my Thursday with 🥰 #neilandsamgowalkies #blacklabrador #bichonfrise #whippet

Every Wednesday, I pick Billy up from his house, we go to get Asta, take them back to ours, where they're greeted by Uma, then I go to get Bodhi. As Asta's Mum and Dad are at work, I send them a video to let them know she's been picked up...there's lots of waggy tails and kisses. Today, I decided to film picking each of them up, pausing for the 5-10 and 45-60 minutes in between. Except my 'phone had other plans, decided to film inside my coat pocket, then ran out of storage space 😳😂 So, no cute video of Billy being collected, a very jumbled one of Asta and none of Bodhi (which is probably for the best as my 'spare hand' had several 💩 bags in it, by this stage 🤭)...but I'm nothing if not determined, so here's a video - not the one I envisioned, but a very brief video - of Billy trotting along and greeting Asta, cos it is still sort of cute 🤷🏻‍♀️🤭🐾 #neilandsamgowalkies #Bedlingtonterrier #Whippet #WednesdayWalkCrew

Another 'no dogs, except for Uma' day (don't worry, the rest of the week is full!🤭). Cheering Uma up with a visit to Desire Soaps & Candles on our walk 🖤😋

Finn is back...as is Flo, so they're getting reacquainted! 🥰

Dogs that come and stay for the day get taken on a longer lunchtime walk, play and rest anywhere they like in the house or garden/yard...and also help out with the household chores 🤭 (Bodhi was reassured that the Hoover is not his enemy, but his feistiness did amuse me!)
