My Furry Valentines. 💘

Wonderful afternoon tea date with the ever cheeky Charlie Parker and his lovely owner who made Fiona Kidd gorgeous Cookie and I very welcome.

We left very well fed as did the dogs who enjoyed their very own tasty snack bowls. Charlie however seemed to think it was buffet and was determined to help himself. It was so great to see him. His cheeky face makes my heart smile. 😍

The sun was certainly shining on these crazy diamonds today. Such a stunning bunch. We got lots of compliments on their behaviour today too. 🐾🐶🤩

Happiness is…. a surprise muddy puddle. Topped only by long grass, and short grass, ok I confess they were this wild the whole walk. 🤦‍♀️ 😆🐾

Instagram vs reality. Fiona Kidd Cookie showing her best side today. ❤️🐶🐾

Lots of fun with these cuties today. The beach was pretty deserted and I think we may have covered every inch of it. Cookie led the way with lots of crazy chasing and Osmo enjoyed his time with his girlfriend Darcy. 😊🐾🐶

Fiona Kidd I don’t know what you put in Cookie’s water today but I think I could do with a glass or two! 😆🐶🐾

Archie enjoyed his time with the girls today. Luna looking just lovely was very busy with lots of sniffing. Darcy enjoyed a good chase and tussle with Archie who I think wore everyone out. And cookie’s highlight was finding some remaining snow that was hidden in a sheltered spot in the field. She gave her face a good rub in it. I’ve no idea why but the joy this gives her is immeasurable. 🐶🐾❤️

Adventures in happy sniffing 😊

Osmo was delighted to have some quality time with the ladies today in the form of girlfriend Darcy and lovely Luna. There was much chasing, puddle jumping and running followed by, I imagine, a well earned snooze this afternoon. 🐶🐾❤️

There wouldn’t be a Barking Buddies without Kidd n Snore and the wonderful Fiona Kidd so it was an emotional lunch to mark Fi’s retirement and the end of an era.

Fi has been an excellent mentor and wise counsel and her advice and support in setting up the business was invaluable.

She’s helped so many new dog businesses get established and I’m not the only one who will be forever in her debt because of it.

We all wish Fi a happy and healthy retirement.

Anyone lost or know anyone who has lost a young female black cocker spaniel with purple collar?

The mighty Osmo looking very handsome and striking his best pose today in Holywell dene. He was giddy as a kipper as my mam would say. Beside himself with excitement running frantic zoomies up and down the bank for reasons I couldn’t fathom - must have been sniffing the acorns. 🤣 Bailey was typically unaffected and was quite excited too in his own understated way. He enjoyed a swim and they both had a plodge. The dene looking absolutely beautiful this time of year. Very peaceful. At least until we arrived. ❤️🐾🐶

Cheeky Charlie and gorgeous cookie had their photos taken as part of a doggy beauty contest at the dog festival recently. Check out their beautiful pictures in the album below. ❤️

Can anyone give this gorgeous little fella a forever home??

Gorgeous day out at dog fest today with the lovely Charlie P. We did doggy parkour which was a lot of fun - Charlie was excellent and very keen once the cheese appeared. We didn’t sadly go back in the ring to defend our 5th scruffiest mutt title but scruffy or otherwise Charlie is a champ in my eyes. 🥰

Lovely to see Finbob and Alli representing Dog Aid a wonderful charity that helps disabled people train their own assistance dogs. They are an inspiring partnership and the joy they get from one another just melts my heart.

Boys were back in town today. Bailey and Osmo joined by beautiful Archie for a lovely walk around Backworth and Seghill. Bailey disappeared from view briefly and when he reappeared well let’s just say I could smell him before I saw him. 🤢 I don’t know what he’d smeared over himself but the stench was fierce. (Apologies Wills family). Archie wore Osmo out with some energetic chase and we all came home covered in sticky balls. 🐾🐶

20/07/2022

Osmo definitely had his posing pants on today spurred on in part I’m sure by the promise of a bacon sizzler. Bailey playing it cool with his handsome but aloof pose inspired by 80s Calvin Klein. Me? Well I’m just happy to be out enjoying the fresh air with this gorgeous pair. 🐶🐾❤️

Bailey is looking absolutely splendid with his new summer hair cut. This was not lost on Dolly. Dolly thinks everything he does is simply wonderful and his mastery of the water sends her into a frenzy of giddy ness. They both enjoyed the cool water of the dene today though the highlight for miss Dolly was definitely having Bailey all to her self. ❤️🐾🐶

Today’s gorgeous gang Bailey, Darcy and Osmo. 😊🐾🐶

Have you ever seen a better looking bunch of poos?? Charlie, Osmo, Dolly, Darcy and Bailey made the most of the glorious sunshine with some quality beach time at beautiful Cambois. It was stunning there today and with low tide there was miles of beach to run on - and I think we covered every inch of it!
Dolly had her running shoes on and enjoyed showing Osmo and Darcy exactly why when it comes to the high speed chase she is the GOAT. 💪 Bailey worked himself up into frenzy with some first class swimming, and a satisfying roll in decomposing marine life. Charlie - well I think he peaked earlier in the week and was quite happy to plodge and left the high speed shenanigans to the younger ones. 🐶🐾❤️☀️🕶
