Lilymoo Hound Hotel

02/01/2024

A very happy 2024 to all of the hounds that have had their holidays at Lilymoo Hound Hotel and their hoos. To say it's been a roller coaster year is an understatement.. the highs of welcoming a new granddaughter into the world and travelling to the USA for a family holiday of a lifetime then to the challenges of falling and dislocating my shoulder and subsequently having an operation to mend the damage. To watching my wonderful, brave dad fight the evil disease cancer and ultimately losing his fight on 29th December 2023.
Let's hope 2024 is a kinder year to everyone. Take care and give your hoos and hounds a gentle hug 💜🐾💜🐾

I'm happy to report that my operation went well and my rotator cuff and bicep have been repaired via keyhole surgery by the fabulous Mr Simons and his team at New Cross Hospital
I came home at the weekend with a party sized bag of painkillers and I've been resting (appropriately comatosed) as instructed.
My arm is strapped in a sling 24/7 for the next 6 weeks. Now the challenge to make my arm work properly again begins!!
A huge thank you to the staff on ward A6 for their wonderful care and a mahoosive thank you for all of your support, kind messages, cards and flowers, they are very much appreciated. An extra special thank you to William McLeod for looking after me so well, along with nursemaid Tippy. 💜🐾💜

So after my "doing something stupid" escapade a few weeks ago, when I dislocated my right shoulder, I am now in New Cross Hospital and will be having surgery to repair the damage. I managed to badly damage my rotator cuff - significant tear in my front tendon and snapped the top front one clean off.
I am so grateful to the NHS for mending me so quickly and apologise to everyone who's houndies I have had to cancel and for who's sewing orders are on hold for a short time. Thank you all for being so understanding 🐾💜🐾💜

Thank you to everyone who sent Happy New Year wishes and boarding enquiries. I will reply to everyone over the next couple of days - I've been away for a few days over New Year but back to Moo Towers and in my workroom today.

Wow what an amazing year 2022 has been! This time last year, the Hound Hotel was no more than a lovely idea floating around in my head - with the support of family and amazing friends, the Lilymoo Hound Hotel opened its doors to its first houndie guests in April 2022. Since then I have had the pleasure of looking after so many beautiful and unique houndies. A massive thank you to everyone who has supported my new venture, I am truly grateful.
A very Happy New Year from this week's guests - Duggie, Olive, Jasper and Tippy and I hope 2023 is a kind one.

It's been a busy week at Lilymoo Hound Hotel with houndie boarders and visitors. Charlie and his mom came to stay for a couple of days and Maddie & Jimmy enjoyed having another brother. We also had a day visit from beautiful snowflake girl Wanda who is coming for a holiday very soon... the one thing all pups agreed on was paté and toast snackeroo was delicious!!

I'm so happy to have Maddie and Jimmy back in residence, they are such super company. The dining room gets the early morning sun and it's been glorious to relax in there with the French doors open, birds singing and a gentle breeze wafting in. Jimmy and I went on a late evening walk and spotted 3 foxes. 💜🐾

This week we had a visit from the new Neighbourhood Watch Team, Delboy & Madge, who just loved watching the world go by from the window seat. They even added their own special nose art as Delboy's ear is pointing to! Who could not love that face with those teefs? All that excitement meant time for sleep! Not too long til your next visit can't wait 💜🐾💜🐾

I have so enjoyed Percy Whippet boarding with us this week, he has been a little bundle of energy and fun with impeccable manners. We've had some lovely walks and he met my furry god children Ellie & Perry and they made friends and went for a walk. Thank you to Percy and his mom and dad for the beautiful flowers that arrived yesterday.
Looking forward to seeing you again soon little man 🐾💜🐾😄

Hi Everyone,
Quick update about my website.
I asked my fab website person to do some work on it, not realising it would have to be offline for a while 😱
So everyone trying to contact me, please message me via social media as I am not getting my emails at the minute.
Normal chaos shall resume as soon as possible.
