I took Willow and Summer to a Golden Retriever hour at over the weekend.

It was Summer's first time at a retriever only event, and I think you can see by her face how much she loved it!

Can anyone make up a good caption for this photo?

Steph and her wonderful team at Home Vet NI have just celebrated their 4th year anniversary 🎊 Home Vet NI is a compassionate home euthanasia service for cats and dogs in Northern Ireland. They have made such a difficult and sad time for me personally and for several of our bereaved adoptive families over the years a much easier and less traumatic experience and we would just like to give them a special mention and let anyone who finds themselves in the sorrowful situation of having to let their pets cross Rainbow Bridge that Steph and her team are there if you need them 🐾🌈

Happy 1st Birthday Summer 😍

Summer came into our lives when we really needed her. She livened up our house like nothing else could. We had a very difficult 6 months before she came along and she was the little ray of sunshine we all needed 🌞

She has grown into the biggest lovable pup who loves nothing more than a muddy puddle and a cuddle. She's never far away from our Thomas... especially when they put on their 'Greatest Showman' routine and she's the lion 🤣.

Her and Willow are inseparable 💛. They often walk around the garden, holding one end of a big stick each 🤣

No one leaves our house without being covered in hair, but we wouldn't change her for the world.

💡 How Home Vet NI Started 💡

Those of you who have been following us for a while will know this story, but I wanted to reshare as it was our 4 year anniversary yesterday, and it is important to remember why we do this difficult job.

It all started with Chico. My dad's 'feisty' bandy legged, one-eyed Jack Russell. My mum and dad bottle fed him from he was only a few hours old after he was rejected by his mother. He wasn't keen on many people, but he was my dad's shadow. They were inseparable. Their bond was so special.

But after 13 years, Chico grew old and grey. His crooked legs were getting sore. He was getting thin and tired. His quality of life was deteriorating.

However, it was 2020 and we were in the middle of a global pandemic. I was shielding with my newborn baby and vulnerable family. My dad really didn't want to take Chico to the vet as it would stress him out so much, but no vet could come out. So he waited until I could come to his home. Eventually, restrictions were eased, and I could go to their house and help bring peace to Chico.

It was just my mum and dad and Chico in their home, cuddled together in front of the fire. Chico passed so peacefully in familiar surroundings, knowing how loved he was. It was the perfect send-off for such a faithful companion.

Afterwards, my dad asked me why that wasn't an option for everyone. He had held on waiting for me as he couldn't bring Chico into the vets, and he felt that should be an option open to everyone.

Well, that sparked an idea 💡. I had thought about it before when my own dog Lola passed but wasn't brave enough to go out alone. But I wanted to do it, in honour of Chico and the special bond he had with my dad.

And so Home Vet NI was born with a lot of help and encouragement behind the scenes from my husband Barry.

Here we are 4 years later. My little idea sparked by my dad has expanded into a team of vets who are passionate about giving people all over NI the option to say goodbye to their pets at home with dignity.

Someone said in the comments yesterday that we 'made a very difficult time into a beautiful memory their family will cherish'. I am so proud of that 💖

💙 RIP Chico 💙

We have been so busy this week... I almost forgot today is our 4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY ❤️

I can't believe that my little idea has grown into this amazing service, now covering all over Northern Ireland, with a team of vets and a vet nurse. I honestly thought that when I set up, it would just be local friends and family reaching out to me. I still remember the first person calling me about their little Jack Russell and going to see her in Bangor 💖

What an honour it is that families choose us during one of the most difficult times in their lives. We will never take that for granted.

Thank you all so much for the support you have given me, my family, and our vets. The community on this page has been incredible during some really hard times the past few years, the worst of which was losing Dodi. He was the original poster boy for Home Vet NI, so I am sharing the very first photo we launched with. I've definitely gained a few wrinkles and grey hairs since then, but I wouldn't change a thing.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Dogs die. But before they do, they live ❤️

They live brave, beautiful lives. They protect their families with unwavering loyalty. They love us with a fierceness that knows no bounds. They fill our days with joy, our homes with warmth, and our hearts with light.

Dogs don’t waste time worrying about tomorrow. They live fully in the moment—chasing balls, napping in sunbeams, and wagging their tails at the simple sound of our voices. They teach us how to love without conditions and how to find happiness in the little things.

So yes, dogs die. But before they do, they give us everything they have. And that’s why their love stays with us long after they’re gone.

Here’s to the dogs who live bravely, love deeply, and leave paw prints on our hearts forever. 🐾💖

Celebrating the Incredible Women Behind Our Compassionate Care

This International Women’s Day, we honour the incredible women on our veterinary team who dedicate their hearts to providing a compassionate home euthanasia service. Their kindness, strength, and empathy make all the difference for families saying goodbye to their beloved pets.

It takes a special kind of courage to bring comfort during life’s most difficult moments, and I am endlessly proud of the women who make this service possible. Their unwavering compassion and dedication embody the very best of veterinary care.

Today, and every day, we celebrate their commitment to both animals and the people who love them. Thank you for the care you provide, the lives you touch, and the love you share.

💖 Happy International Women's Day 💖

Today, we celebrate all the incredible women in the world but also my daughter Evelyn, who inspires me to be a better person every day. She reminds me how to be kind, compassionate, and strong - the qualities that make her so special.

I am proud to live in a world where there are so many amazing female role models for her to aspire to. She wants to be Greta Thunberg and stop climate change, and I have no doubt she can do anything she puts her mind to!

Keep being yourself Ev, and you will do great things ✨️

A few weeks ago, I had the daunting task of talking to my son's P1 class about being a vet (I applaud teachers- I could not do your job!).

Luckily, these two were the best assistants, so I didn't have to do much.

All the kids brought in animal teddies, which they got to bandage up and give 'injections' to.

Hopefully, some of them will be inspired to go into a career involving animals ❤️🐾

PS - no teddies were harmed during our demonstration 🙈🤣

❤️ATTENTION CHICKEN OWNERS❤️

Anyone with an automatic door- make sure to check and change the closing time as the days get longer!

We just found some of our girls huddled in a corner of the coop because the door was set to close at 6 pm, but the sun sets later now.

Thankfully, we always check them and got them all inside 🐔🐓
