It's Carers Week this week and I'd like to do my bit for raising awareness of the millions of unpaid carers in our midst; so many people of all ages including many children.

My Mum (now 99) has lived with me since August 2019, when my dear Dad passed away. During that time she's had 2 strokes and now suffers from heart failure. Except for visits to my brother, I have been Mum's sole carer until about 2 months ago and I'm so grateful we now have carers in 3 times a day to help look after her on a daily basis.

Caring for someone is tough, emotionally, economically & physically and has consequences in every aspect of a carers life & it can be very isolating.

So if you know anyone who is caring for someone else, spare them a thought and carry on being a friend - understand that they can't drop everything for a night out, offer to drop in for a quick cuppa or offer to sit with whoever they're caring for so they can have an hour to themselves - it means the world 🙏

If you're a carer & local to Devon, Devon Carers are there for you - I'm so grateful for the support I've had from them 🙏 Do look at their website to see how they can support you

Helen Walker, chief executive of Carers Uk said

"Millions of people across the UK care, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health condition or addiction cannot cope without their support.

It is estimated that they save the economy £162 million a year – the equivalent of a second NHS. Yet, many carers feel their role is forgotten and invisible.

Carers Week, taking place from 10–16 June 2024, is a UK-wide awareness campaign seeking to increase visibility for carers with decision makers, services, employers, communities, and businesses.

The new theme for 2024 aims to galvanize activity in a general election year, to highlight the increasing pressures carers and to campaign for much-needed recognition and support.

This includes raising awareness about the challenges carers face which impact on their finances, employment, health and wellbeing and ensuring policymakers and politicians take steps to better support carers’ needs.

A staggering 82% of carers surveyed by Carers UK said the impact of caring on their physical and mental health would be a challenge over the coming year, with nearly 60% adding that being valued as a carer would improve their wellbeing."

'Scuse the **expletives! 😆
No doubt some of you have already heard my rants about dentastix 😂 but if not this is exactly why I only stock the good stuff & not cr*p like that, which is bad for your dog!

This FREE course was designed by The Dog Geeks to support people who were thinking of fostering adopting or already have a rescue dog.

They hoped it may help rescues by giving them easy free resources to their adopters. Please share so that many people can get that bit of extra support when bringing a new dog into their home.

If you don't know The Dog Geeks please do check them out; 3 phenomenal trainers, 2 of whom work locally, and all absolutely passionate about helping our companions live their best lives. They're all lovely people & have kindly made several free courses or you can join up as a member and benefit from huge amounts of other courses and loads of support. We're definitely big fans here at Pawsome 🐾

Supporting you and your rescue dog tohave the best relationship possible

Shocking to have to write the following as we love all our shop & grooming customers and count many as friends.

However, having just had the most unpleasant experience with a new grooming customer today please be aware we have a zero tolerance policy regarding rudeness, aggression and threatening behaviour to any of our groomers or staff. ZERO.

The customer in question will be put on a banned customer list for groomers in Devon and is barred from the shop.

04/01/2024

Dear grooming clients,

Sadly after a year of high inflation, during which our groomers held their prices while all their costs spiralled, a price increase is now necessary & will be implemented this week.

Thank you to all our lovely grooming clients for your understanding & your continued support 🙏❤️

Apologies for any inconvenience

As some of you may know, I had to say farewell to my darling Polly at the weekend. Polly, who came originally from Skiathos in Greece as a rescue, was diagnosed with chronic hip dysplasia when she was 8 months old. She had boundless energy so we decided against operations as crate rest would have sent her nuts! With small changes to her routine (no ball sports!) and lots of steady excercise to keep her muscles active, a good diet and medication to ensure she was pain free, Polly enjoyed life to the full and incredibly reached the grand old age of 14.5 years.
My beautiful, loving, stoic Greek diva baby girl is much missed ❤️🌈
