ALABAMA ROT WARNING!!!!

If you haven't seen it already there is a post about alabama rot being diagnosed in 2/3 dogs which have been walked at Avebury and on the gallops at Beckhampton.

Obviously it could of come from elsewhere but the dogs have all been walked in these locations so best to avoid....

Rogan couldn't quite work out why I'd come into his home this week Instead of takiing him out of it and for a walk so he decided to sit and mull over it.

I think his owner will have to charge extra for pressure therapy next time as well as the lash lift 🤣

But let's just appreciate how cute these two boys are ❤️

Busy couple of weeks again with some pop ins and house sits too. Rupert got to come see his friends again whilst we looked after him and we took Bonnie's mummy out for a walk too. Thanks to all my customers who checked in on me during the floods last Friday. I was stuck in swindon for some time and had to ask Rhianno of Wags Whiskers and More to carry out one of my walks.

Welcome to.winter!

🥊Anyone been watching the Netflix programme At home with the Furys? If you haven’t, I’d recommend it! After getting so engrossed myself, my husband and I started watching some of his old fights, in particular the ones with Deontay Wilder.

🤕Towards the end of the rounds, you can clearly see how tired they are, how battered and bruised they are. There’s no question as to whether they’re in pain and yet they continue to fight. They continue throwing punches and actually gain momentum in what seems like a sudden burst of energy. They don’t stop until the bell rings and someone else steps in.

Despite the pain, they enjoy what they do. They go back for more time and time again. The thrill of the fight, the surge of adrenaline.

But what does boxing have to do with dogs?

So often when I tell a guardian that I believe their dog is in pain they respond with oh but they still jump in the car and run around after a ball? They still do laps around the house launching off furniture.

💪 Like the boxers, dogs are very good at hiding pain when they’re doing something they enjoy. Adrenaline kicks in and temporarily distracts the body from pain. The fight or flight response which makes a dog (and human) feel invincible and won’t stop until the pain becomes unbearable or someone intervenes.

Unlike the boxers however, dogs can’t tell us what hurts after an event. They can’t reach for the painkillers or consultant a medical professional without our input. It’s up to us to recognise the signs of pain and the changes in behaviour. 💊

Take note of the early wobbles and do something about it, before there’s a total knock out. 🤜🤛
