We do hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas & we’d like to wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 🥂🎉🐾
Thank you for our lovely Xmas cards, presents & well wishes…….. we have been spoilt! 🙏💗🎁🎄
It was a difficult festive period for us, but was made so much better thanks to all of our lovely doggy guests! They have kept us very busy & have all been a pleasure to care for! Featured below are the lovely dogs from our New Year’s wknd! 💗🐾
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your business & for keeping us so incredibly busy for another year! We never take it for granted & really appreciative your support! Particularly when the economy is becoming increasingly difficult for us all. 🙏🐾
I’d also like to thank you personally for your patience. I am the CEO, the receptionist, the accounts manager, the front of house, the doggy taxi, the dog carer, the cleaner, the veterinary assistant, the dog walker, the laundry operator, the behaviourist, the photographer, the groomer, the researcher & the poo picker! Just to name a few! (If it wasn’t for the support from Aarron I would never eat or sleep! 😂🙈). It is more than a full time occupation & there are simply never enough hours in the day! I really apologise that sometimes it takes a little while to get back to your enquiries, but the dogs in our care are & will always be, the priority. I will however, always get back to you & I really do appreciate your patience in this 🙏💗🐾
We have sadly lost so many beautiful old faces this year including our gorgeous Brandy & we feel the pain with every loss 😔😢 We miss them all terribly & like to think of them all reunited, running freely together again 💗🌈🐾
We have of course welcomed some new faces along the way too & look forward to seeing more of those this year…… as well as our wonderful regulars who truly are the back bone of this business! 🙏🐾🥰
🎉🐾 Here’s to a happy,
Willow xx
Sorry for the lack of posts it's been a tough week........
I don’t normally do this on my page because it’s just too damn hard, but I couldn’t let this one go without a tribute 💔
Big Willow the Great Dane, at an incredible age of nearly 10, sadly passed away this week following a short battle with serious pancreatitis 😢💔😭
Willow came into my life over a year ago, sadly her elderly mum wasn’t aware of my services before then. I’ll never forget that phone call when her owner told me she was 85 with hip trouble & struggling to walk her dog...... “what kind of dog?” I asked, assuming a Pomeranian or a JR! “A Great Dane” she replied!! I thought I like this lady already..... what a great sense of humour she has!! 😂😂 Of course I was elated when I realised she WASN’T joking! 🐶💕
Willow was 8 when I met her & in remarkable health...... I’ve walked her up to 5 days a week ever since 🐾 😊
She was the original gentle giant & she LOVED meeting all of the different dogs I'd bring to walk with her! She'd pull me to the van & as I opened the door stick her great big head inside to greet her friends for that day! 😂 She was so incredibly considerate of her size, particularly when around tiny dogs & a genuine pleasure to walk with any dog 🐾❤️
She brightened everyday that I spent with her & she even stayed with us last Xmas which made it all the more special for our family 🐶🎄💕
She turned many heads & caused a few car swerves as I walked her through the village on a regular basis & if I had a £1 for every time I was told to “put a saddle on it” I’d have no need to be walking dogs for a living anymore! 😂💰
None of my walks with Willow ever ran to time & upon our regular late return to her owner she’d ask “who’ve you been talking to this time Willow?!” 😂🐶💕
She’s left an impression on everyone she’s ever met, a giant gap in my life & shes stolen a piece of my heart. Of course her elderl
Do you remember about a month ago we welcomed a new Springer girl called Izzy? She was EXTREMELY SHY and was frozen to the wall of the house for the first hour she was here........
well NOW look at her haha!!! 😂🙈🐕🥰
We like to call this the “Walter effect!!” 😂🐶💖🐶😉
Fun in the field
The lovely Eva & Milly moo showing young Ser Prenn how to stretch his legs in the field earlier this week! 🐕 💨 🐾
We haven’t been in the field for a little while so it was great to have some rare ball time fun!! 🎾 🐶 🐕 💕
A new little lady called Bimbo came for a sleepover last night to see if she liked the Pet Hotel! 🐶🥰
She was incredibly shy on her meet & greet & reluctant to even come in the house! 😬
What a turn around she had! I got big kisses & waggy tails by the end of the day & she made lots of new friends, especially big boy Ted who she took a real shine to! I think it’s safe to say the feeling was mutual! 🐶💕🐶
I keep meaning to introduce this ‘ansum little man! He’s called ‘Ser Prenn’! I love an original name (it’s Cornish for carpenter if you were wondering)! 🐕💕
He’s been having weekly walks with us from a tiny pup & now he’s getting a bit older he can stretch his legs! 🐾
So my Brandy (his best bud) & I decided to introduce him to our field today for the first time........... as you can see I think he loved it!!! 🐕🐾😍
It was pouringgggg with rain & I don’t think Prenn even noticed! 🤣💦🐶🐾💙
After a tiring walk at Cardinham woods today (I forgot to take photos 🙈🙈😬) there are some VERY chilled out vibes in the doggy dorm this evening! ☺️
Sound up for this one....... 🐶 😴 💤 🎼 💕
A lovely DRY session in the field this morning with this bunch of ‘ansum doggies!
Poppy & Brandy, Ted & Bo, Dory & Kiki, Pablo, Fen, Milly & Meg!! 🐕🐾🐕🐾🐕🐾🐕🐾🐕🐾🐕🐾🐕🐾🐕🐾🐕🐾🐕🐾☀️😎😁
Living & working on Bodmin Moor I get to do some interesting house visits................
.......... the gorgeous cats at this one aren’t so keen on their neighbours!! 😆🐈🐄😂💕
#nopointinawindowcleaner 🐮👅🏠
(Apologies for the sniffles I’ve got a cold 🙄)
I really missed my regular boys & girls whilst on annual leave......... it’s been fab to be reunited with them all this week!!! 🐶💕🐾
I love them all!! 🐶🥰💕
Max the super handsome ginger Cocker returned for his holiday today and Twiggy was simply delighted when he arrived this morning! 🐶😁💕
They’ve had two long walks today and been playing all day in between. They’re a great match for each other!
How sweet is big Megan trying to join in with them! 🥰
Can you hear Twiggy & Max snoring at the moment??!! 😂🐶💕😴😴😴😴
Playing ‘ping pong’ with cats is just one of the many services I offer...... 😂
Some parts of my job are definitely less taxing than others......... 😉🐈😻
