Another client where I’ve looked after their little ones for so many years now that we’re on to the ‘second generation’…..and boy what a difference it makes to my visits!!! 😅🙈🤣❤️
Before, I was looking after Tigger and Sox both of whom were lovely quiet gentle older ‘companion’ cats 😴
Sox liked to just snooze on the bed upstairs during my visits while Tigger would take a little stroll around the garden each visit and then come straight back in for his treats and cuddles.
After their sad loss their lovely family eventually felt ready to rehome two new kittens - Loki and Kiki 💕
And I think it’s suffice to say that Loki and Kiki are about as far removed from Tigger and Sox as you could possibly get 🤪🤣
I was told, for example, that Loki and Kiki are only allowed into the (otherwise off-limits) ‘good lounge’ during my visits ie when I am there to ‘supervise them’….but not on their own….and within about 20 seconds of taking them in there…I understood why….!!! 😬🙄😅🙈😌🤣 xx
Ash’s mum saw the post yesterday and decided to see if she could teach Ash to also do the “Leave it” trick that Lenny had been practising…
And the result is just too funny not to share 🤣🤣
We have ‘Tongues out Tuesdays’…so why not have ‘Tricks 4 Treats Thursdays’ 🗣️🐶👏🏼👍🏼🦴😍
So today Lenny practiced his “Leave It..!!” and only took the thrown gravy bone when he got the signal to take it…which for a completely food obsessed Golden Retriever is no mean feat!!
Super proud of you Lenny ❤️
And Ash practised his super cute ‘bendy legs beggy’ 😇😋😎 Ash was found abandoned on the streets of Bulgaria and his story could have been very different indeed but he is now living his very best life here in Sale thanks to the incredible people at Street Hearts BG Ash is such an intelligent youngster and has the most amazing temperament with both people and dogs.
Super proud of you Ash ❤️
And little special rescue Skye also had a turn 😅 She was keen to show that although she doesn’t quite ‘understand’ tricks (or know how to chase away annoying flies) she DOES know her own name and she CAN lick her own bottom.
Super proud of you Skye ❤️
** EDIT ** I’ve had to put Ash and Skye’s videos in the comments section because facebook very helpfully only allows business pages to feature one video at a time 🙄 So Lenny’s ‘tricks for treats Thursday’ video is first and then you can see Ash and ‘little Skye’s ‘tricks for treats Thursday’ videos if you look in the comments 💕 xx
Just one of my gorgeous walks ‘Ash’ practising his “beg” to get his post-walk piece of chicken stick 🥰
Those little front legs… 😅🤣❤️ xx
** EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT ** 📣🤩🥳
In a couple of months time Cosset & Walker will be celebrating 14 years of being in business!! FOURTEEN INCREDIBLE YEARS!!! 😍
I just cannot believe it has been that long!! And even more incredible - I still walk 3 dogs I began to first walk as little puppies, and I still look after several cats who were also amongst my first clients!! Gorgeous precious little ones who have been with me since Day 1 💕
To celebrate my anniversary, I will finally be realising my dream of opening a second pet related business and hope that you will come along with me for the ride!! 🙃
It will not affect Cosset & Walker or the service I have always provided to you all 🥰 It is just an extra service I have wanted to provide for a long time…and I think now is the time to make it happen!! 😬😅🤣
I spend all of my spare time making fun pet related stuff for my friends and family and as more and more requests have come in over the years I have thought about adding it as an official service and now that’s what I am going to do!! 😬😅
This part of the business is going to be called “Maurice & Flo” and I will give you a sneek peek of my new Logo in the comments below!! I’m soooo excited!!
Cosset & Walker will remain exactly the same as I say 🥰
It will take a while to deal with setting up all the “boring” technical stuff, website etc as obviously my main focus will remain on Cosset & Walker but I am hopeful it will be up and running by the date of my 14th Anniversary on 1st May 🙃
I will keep you all updated…and hopefully be able to provide little snapshots as to how things are coming along and little glimpses of behind the scenes, designs I am working on etc.
For today….I wanted to provide you with a little preview of one fun product I will be offering throughout the year which could be purchased as a fun gift for either yourself or for a partner or a friend. You (or another recipient) will receive
An example of just how different my clients are each day ❤️😅🤣
First walk this morning was gorgeous Retriever “Alarm Clock” Lenny ⏰ He always knows what time I’m due to arrive…and on what days…so is always patiently waiting looking out for me by the window. Just the best ‘big lad’ ever.
Then I had Larry and Ed. Two 15 year old gents who have known each other since they were pups (as their respective mums are work colleagues) so I’ve walked them together ever since. Both now losing their hearing and sight a little bit but otherwise still absolutely loving life and so well behaved ☺️😍❤️
Then….there’s ‘new little pupster’ Thor!! 🥴😅🥰 Gorgeous mischievous 3 legged Thor!! He isn’t officially allowed in ‘The Good Room’ on his own because he likes to destroy stuff - especially the new sofa!! But he has other ideas…so that’s where I found him this week 💕❤️💕 xx
I will say it time and time again…”Rescue” is absolutely ‘my favourite breed’ ❤️
Just look at this short video from today whilst I was doing some ‘holiday cover’ for another local dog walker..!!!
Una was ‘discarded’ when she got too old to ‘make money’ as a racing Greyhound. Just thrown away like rubbish.
But just look at her now in her new home, complete with her little ‘happy tappy’ dance. Oh my heart…💕❤️💕 xx
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the hysterical cat videos and cat photos yesterday….all “high as a kite” on their chrimbo “catnip” toys 🎅🏼🤣
I think Merlot was the most stoned 🤪🙄😅🤣❤️
Thank you so much to Janet Williams and Carole Goulding for hand-making so many brilliant catnip toys and raising much needed funds for the Cats of M33 and their associated charities 🤩 They were worth every single penny - and clearly brought so much hilarity to so many homes yesterday 🐱🤪 I’m still laughing 😅🤣
Merry Xmas to anyone I’ve not spoken to yet and have a wonderful Boxing Day with all your gorgeous little ones xx
#bestjobever
Texting Lewis’s mum :
“Hi, just to let you know the boys have had their tea! I’ve got a catnip xmas present for them and wondered where’s the safest place to hide it (after Lewis managed to ‘outwit me’ last year and found it first!!) xx
“Hi again. You can ignore that last text…” 😩🙄😅🤣. #outsmarted
Me nodding along sympathetically when friends tell me how stressful their jobs are….😔🥺🙁😖😩
Also me :
When you regret saying you don’t offer walks on a Sunday…not even for your oldest clients…and suddenly you’re replaced by another ‘professional’. Just like that!!! 😅💕♥️💕😎 xx
