It’s extremely windy out there today more so than yesterday , so check your fences & gates before letting your dogs out and be careful .

Too dangerous to walk in woods today so don’t risk it and your dog will be fine having a sofa day .

Stay safe out there it definitely sounds wild !

Looks like it’s going to be hot one this week , this is why I always look at feels like as be hotter than actual temp , early morning walks I think 😴🥰

Good afternoon everyone!

Extreme heat on the way!🌡☀️🌡⚠️☀️

It's a glorious afternoon across the chilterns with all of us seeing some warm sunmer sunshine!☀️

Temperature are currently sitting at a very nice 26.4°C out there, and this will be on the rise as we head through the rest of this afternoon.

Attention to next week as we are heading into some unusually warm weather. A very warm few days to come indeed, but on Tuesday we are going to see some dangerous heat moving in. 35 °C is likely here on Tuesday, and there are extreme heat warnings for this. We haven't seen this kind of temperature for a couple of years.

I know some people will just call it summer, but people with health problems and the elderly can really suffer. For anyone else, the next few days is looking amazing if you are a fan of the heat.

Just look at the temperatures on the charts for the next few days!🌡🌡🌡

Later this week there is a risk that the heat will trigger some potentially rather large storms. If you love a storm, you might be in luck later in the week.

What's everyone up to on this sunny Sunday?

Unfortunately Scooby baby gained his angel wings last week he went peacefully at home with his owners and the vets with him 💙he was nearly 14 years old and was only last few weeks he acted it bless him . I’ve walked him ( well more like he walked me ) for about 9 years when his family got him from a rescue let’s say he had his quirks but when he showed you some love it was best thing then next second he’d shove you off the sofa or steal your pillow ! 😆
I’m going to miss him so much and so grateful to his family for letting me say my goodbyes . My thoughts are with his family but I’m sure Knowing he’s not in pain anymore and running around and eating whatever he wants over that rainbow bridge helps the heartbreak we are all feeling 🐾💔 love you Scooby doo x

Just some advise for ways help your pet for New Year’s Eve 🐾

Just a reminder to prepare our pets for NYE:
1. If your pet is scared of fireworks, allow them access to a place where they like to hide and feel safe, maybe in their crate, under the bed/sofa or in the laundry.
2. Close all curtains to minimise light flashes.
3. Play some music in the background, try Bach, or some dogs find audiobooks soothing.
4. Have lots of their favourite treats and toys ready so that you can engage them in games and fun times for distraction, if possible.
5. If they are upset or scared, cuddling them will not 'reinforce their fear'. Please do comfort them if it helps them to feel better.
6. Make sure your pet is microchipped and has ID such as a tag/collar on, just in case they get lost.
7. Ask your vet about meds - some pets who are phobic need them to prevent a panic attack.
