One of our beautiful Four Paws dogs passed over rainbow bridge today.

Fudge was so very much loved and doted on by her owners Mike and Lynn, she leaves a hole in their lives but many beautiful memories in their hearts

A beautiful piece I read a while ago and saved, something to remind us all of how precious time is with our dogs

‘Walk with me; don’t just walk me. Slow down and see the world as I do.

I know you’ve got things to do, places to be. But out here, with the ground beneath our feet and the sky above us, there’s a whole world worth noticing.

The autumn chill is in the air today, crisp and full of new smells. It’s different from yesterday, and different from the day before. Every day is new.

The leaves crunch under my paws, and I stop to breathe in the rich, earthy scent of them. To you, it might just be a pile of leaves, but to me, it’s a story—one I can’t help but dive into, nose first.

There’s a squirrel somewhere nearby, I can sense it, darting up a tree, its tiny heart beating fast. And the wind carries whispers of things far away: a family cooking dinner, the trace of a cat that passed by early this morning, and the faint perfume of flowers holding on to their last bit of summer. It’s all here, swirling around us if you just take the time to notice.

You tug on the leash, eager to move on, and I can tell you’re thinking about something far away from here.

But when we walk, truly walk, you and I can be in this moment together. Feel the cool air brush against your skin, let it wake you up. Notice how the sun filters through the branches, casting shadows that dance on the pavement. Hear the crunch of the leaves beneath our steps, like a secret rhythm just for us.

To you, it might be just another walk, a daily routine to tick off the list. But for me, every step is an adventure. Each scent is a clue, each sound a piece of a puzzle.

When you walk with me, really walk with me, you’ll see it too. The world is bigger than what we’re rushing toward. It’s right here, in the small moments, in the quiet spaces between your thoughts.

So, slow down. Breathe. Let the chill fill your lungs and the colours fill your eyes. Walk with me, don’t just walk me. See the world as I do, if only for a little while. It’s all waiting for you, just beneath the surface.

Rest easy beautiful girl x

⚠️ Weather Warning ⚠️

With winds picking up in our area, it’s important to keep your pets safe

Small Animals 🐇
Move rabbits, guinea pigs and other outdoor pets inside or into a car-free garage. If this isn’t possible – move runs and hutches to the most sheltered area in the garden and make sure they have plenty of bedding. Hutches and runs can be covered by blankets and tarpaulins to keep them dry and warm.

Dogs 🐕
Before letting your dog out in the garden, please check that no fence has been damaged (including tomorrow). If you want to go out for a walk, check weather apps and go when it is as quiet as possible and keep your dog warm and dry in a coat, especially if they are elderly. It is also probably wise to keep them on the lead in case they get spooked by the wind.

Cats 🐈
Most cats will be sensible in this kind of weather and curl up indoors until it is all over. If you think they might try to escape, then it is best to lock the cat flap, keep windows and doors closed to ensure they stay inside. If your cat is crying to get out, distract them with short play sessions that end with a treat. Cats spend lots of their time exploring their surroundings, but during bad weather, it’s best to keep them inside. If your cat isn’t at home when the storm starts, make sure that they can enter via a window or cat flap so they can shelter from the weather. Please also check outbuildings and under cars for cats taking shelter.

Birds 🦜
Make sure all birds are safe in aviaries. Even if it means bringing birds into your home instead.

Horses 🐴
If your stables are sturdy and your horses are reasonably settled despite the winds, then they may be better off inside. If your stables are creaking or you can see the structure moving, then they may be better off outside. If turned out many horses will be more comfortable in a rug as there will be a very high wind chill.

Give them an extra bonio or the carrot that the reindeers left behind but nothing off the naughty list.

Some of these items will not only make your dog poorly but some could, if enough ingested actually kill your dog

Couldn’t agree more, pure laziness

The comments are made as the size of fines increases for not clearing up after your dog.

Could you see your dog doing this ?

Sneaky peak inside

1 Double crate with divider- suitable for any of the following combinations

* 1 Dog in each side

* 2 Dogs in one side with 1 dog in the other

* 2 Dogs in each side

1 Double sized crate suitable for any of the following

* 1 Large dog

* 2 Small/Medium dogs

For those who are new to Four Paws I can confirm that dogs who prefer their own space and don’t wish to share the crate will have their space just for themselves.

Dogs are always matched together for walks and daycare to ensure they all benefit from good socialisation experiences and everyone is happy

Fresh clean bedding each day

Fresh air ventilation in the van

Safe and secure every single trip, the crates have emergency rear access too.

In crash test studies this was reported

"The TransK9 Dog Cage is an extremely strong structure that is representative of a monocoque structure as used in a Formula 1 racing chassis"
Dr. R. Bailey BSc(Hons), MSc, PhD, CEng, MIMechE

These crates are not cheap but you cannot put a price on the safe transportation of animals
