The odd point doesn't apply when you're not out in the public, however so relatable on every level ๐พโค๏ธ
Secrets of a Dog Walker
1. It's a lifestyle, not just a job. If you're in it for the money you've made a big mistake because a) you're never going to be rich, end of story; and b) you won't survive your first winter if that's your only motivation. We see these people come and go from time to time.
2. We talk to each other more than you might think. About the best walking boots, what clothing we are wearing for today's weather, our financial struggles, the traffic, dodgy people in the woods, fallen trees, etc. It's a lonely job but we have each other's backs from a distance.
3. We don't physically have eyes in the backs of our heads but we know so well the sound of every jingle of every ID tag, and every dog's individual footfall on the ground behind us, we may as well have.
4. We can't physically see round corners either, but we know so well each leading dog's body language in reaction to an oncoming person and/or dog that we may as well be able to.
5. We hear "Are they all yours?!" and "Wow you've got your hands full" at least twice a day, but we always smile and say "They keep me on my toes". Every. Single. Time.
6. It actually breaks our heart when a dog moves out of our area, and we thoroughly investigate our replacement for our own peace of mind, even if the client hasn't asked us to. Let's not even talk about when they pass away, we feel every bit of grief too, more than owners might think.
7. If you peel back a few layers of clothing (depending on the season) you will find bruises, scratches and scrapes covering the whole of our bodies. Don't bother asking where they came from, we have no idea.
8. If you see a dog walker looking vaguely presentable on a weekday, you should send help, something is not right.
9. We love our clients' dogs as we do our own and will sometimes lie awake at night worrying about their injuries, illnesses, and behaviour problems. We can't help it after spending so much time with them. It hurts us when clients don't appreciate this.
10. Despiter the financial uncertainty, the harsh winters, the blood, sweat and tears, it really is the best job in the world!

We've enjoyed the summer but the change in weather yesterday was certainly welcomed by all!! Albeit the start of the muddy season ๐ฌ โ, but hopefully the grass is less 'straw like' soon enough!
Lots of playing, sniffing & exploring ๐พ
Today we welcomed this gorgeous little teddy bear to our pack ๐๐พ

So true ๐
A busy start to the summer holidays this week with lots of energy to burn. After the hot weather last week, it was clear that some cooler days were enjoyed by all! ๐พ

Kisses ๐๐
Today we welcomed this lovely boy ๐. He settled in brilliantly and had a great first day ๐พ
Just a few from Friday ๐พ
Much earlier walks this week which were much more beneficial for all under the circumstances.
It's weeks like this that we really appreciate having the field where we have constant access to fresh, cold water, natural shaded areas with a continuous breeze and ways of creating additional shade for all our doggies โค๏ธ
Reunited today after a few weeks apart and they were totally inseparable โค๏ธ๐
Now for some doggy speed dating ๐๐
Anyone for a cocktail ๐
Wed, Thurs & Fri ๐พ

Fun in the sun last week ๐พ
Some random pictures from the last few weeks ๐พ
So this week has consisted of creating as much shade and water play as possible! Even those who are more weary of the water have had a dip which I don't blame them, if only we could too ๐

Have a lovely weekend everyone ๐
