It is with regret that we inform you of Switch’s passing. At 12:15 today she gained her wings and her ongoing battle peacefully came to an end 😭.
Where do we even begin? The purple black bear 🐻. Between her and Roo, she drew attention wherever she went, not that she was particularly fussed. If she accepted you as her people, you knew it and then some, receiving love and licks by the bucket load. If she didn't, well you weren't worthy of all the independence and sass that she brought to the table. She especially had a soft spot for Gav ❤️
We've never known a dog with such a good judge of character. If Switch thought something was off, you'd trust her. She didn't take any 💩 and she was great at implementing boundaries with dogs who tried to push them. The overprotective big sister if you will.
The fun police, other dogs could have fun, but not too much fun or else she'd tell them off 😂. Switch absolutely loved playing with a ball, often having to drop it into your hands to stop Roo stealing it and running off with it. If you were to slow to throw, you'd get land shark snappy bear 🐻 🤣
Run free Switch 🌈 🌉
You'll be missed dearly by everyone who knew you 💔

A little late in this one.
Today is our 5th birthday! (16th) 🎂🎉🎈
What a five years it's been. We've hit a business milestone and we couldn't have done it without you. Our amazing customers who support us through thick and thin. For wanting the best for their pets, we truly wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for you.
So this is a thank you to you! Thanks for being awesome and putting your trust in us ❤️
We always strive to learn and move forward with continued growth and development.
Here's to how ever many more years there are to come
🐶
Today Charlie enjoyed his last walk with us.
His human is retiring so can take him on all the adventures he desires. With a camper van, we know he'll get about 😁.
Where do we start. You certainly were a very energetic and enthusiastic boy who hated the van and had a weird obsession with trying to greet moving buses.... (That was a head stretcher for us too 🤷🏼♀️ )
With a fair bit of work, thankfully you got over the bus thing and could walk to the park beautifully, your recall came on and walks were fun and you didn't need to lie down at every dog you saw. Then one day, out of nowhere the van was given the green light and he could also explore other places too. Typical retriever, meant that he is absolutely obsessed with water and mud! Keeping him clean was always a task in itself 😂. If the cogs turned in his head before you'd clipped his lead, he'd be off to his favourite spot in the river or that bog that he remembered from last winter.
The regulars down the river had nicknamed you the ball thief, no explanation needed for that one 🙈. We never heard his bark until 1.5 years ago and for a while he was loud and proud.... But he remembered his quiet side and didn't take after his little friend Dotty on that one 😂.
This isn't goodbye mate, I'm sure we'll see you around. They'll always be a spot for you for a random adventure with your friends should you ever need one ❤️. Keep being the crazy, slobbery goof ball you are!
Thank you to your humans for supporting our business for almost 5 years. It's been a pleasure 😎
🐾 🐶
So today was Dottie's final walk with us as she moves to pastures new!
We absolutely love how much this girl has grown since being with us. When she first started she was certainly unsure of a lot of things. She was lacking in confidence and wanted to run back to the van at any given opportunity. She didn't want to interact with the other dogs and would make lots of noise in a bid to keep everyone at a distance.
As we progressed, she didn't need to seek comfort in the van and she was able to be completely off the lead. Slowly she would try to initiate play. Albeit by bringing the game back to Sarah's feet where Sarah would then fall over Dottie 🙈🤦🏼♀️. This happened a lot 😂, like waayyyy too much. But, the barking subsided and she learned that running with the boys was fun. Telling them off was more fun and thus she was labeled our little referee ❤️. She still has a little bark, especially when on her lead but she oozes confidence and is accepting of new and changing situations.
She's a little dog with a big personality and we'll sure miss her. She's certainly wormed her way into our hearts.
Good luck in your new area. If we're ever passing or taking Sky for a beach walk, we'll certainly have to pop by for a cuddle.
The weather conditions this afternoon 🤦🏼♀️😂
Rain. Snow. Hail. Sleat. Freezing rain and extremely windy! Poncho didn't help with keeping things dry so it was another day with wet knickers 🙈.
Funny how the sun came out when the walk ended... 🤔
At 5pm this evening, we said our final goodbyes to our boy, Todd.
The Detol kitten. Found abandoned and covered in fleas at around 6 weeks old, a passer by found him and thought they were helping when they bathed him in detol. Realising they made things worse, he was handed in to All Creatures Great and Small. We happened to be looking for a new ginger addition and went to all creatures and were told his story and that he may not even pull through. Well, he certainly did and we had ourselves a ginger fluff ball.
Loved by all who met him, he truely had an engine powering that purr. Super loud and a dribbling mess when anyone gave him any attention. Honestly, looking at him would turn him on 😂.
Everyone knew him and despite being castrated, he made sure all the other cats on the estate knew of him too. He got himself into all sorts, coming home with different cuts and scrapes. He was a lover but don't cross his patch 😂 unless you're in his crew. He was overly ambitious with his prey. One day he tried to catch a squirrel 🐿️. Thankfully he wasn't successful.
Truely the sweetest kitty anyone could ask for. Despite all he had been through, he was so trusting and had nothing but love to give. You'll be missed Todd a wad.
Run free ginger one 🌈 🌉
Todd 31/08/10 - 24/01/24 🐾 🐈
Think it might be a tad windy today 🍃 🌬️
We're not even half way up 😂
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we inform you of Alfie’s passing💔😭. He crossed the bridge on Monday, peacefully with his family surrounding him.
Privately rescued from a flat at the age of 6 months, Alfie sure landed on his paws with his family. Despite his on-going health issues, he lived a full and long happy life with all the love a dog could want.
In true dane fashion, he made himself known where ever we went. On occasion Alfie would try and walk you as opposed to you walking him, as there was always just too much to sniff and explore, he wanted to do it all. The lab half of him had him splashing around in the water and getting dirty. No where near as dirty as his brother Jasper mind you! He loved nothing more than to run! He especially loved his freedom in the hills, stretching out those long legs of his while the wind would take his ears. He did like to bark at other dogs out of frustration and bounce on the spot, pounding his front paws into the ground. We called it his polar bear impression. He was a gentle giant to all people and loved a good leg to lean on while having a cuddle.
Run free Alfie, you will certainly be missed by all who knew you! 🌈🌉
Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.
Happy Birthday SKY 🥳🎂🥳
We can't believe our girl Sky is 10 years old today! We certainly never thought she'd make it this far, especially as some of her half brothers went far too soon 🌈. Not to mention the time you ate through Sarah's latop cable while it was plugged in🤦♀️. It's been one heck of a ride thus far and we're not done yet!
As Sarah's first dog you've taught her a lot through the years and have led Sarah to be on the adventure she's on now. The journey hasn't been easy at times but she wouldn't change any of it for the world. Don't change now puppy dog, stay forever quirky and mischievous ❤️.
Just a typical night with Archie and Bonnie
Please check Buddy's soundcard. It may need a reset!
😂😂😂😂
Happy 4th birthday to us!
🎂 🍻 🎂
We've been so busy, we almost forgot.
Jamie and Tina frolicking.
Just incase you didn't have enough Bonnie today...
Here's a clip of Bonnie and Tina smashing the chase game like champions!
