I just wanted to personally thank and give appreciation to Dawn at Mrs puppy popins who has carried my business the last few weeks for me while I have been grieving the loss of my dad.
Without you Dawn Morris I wouldn't have got back in to work where I left off.
Not only is Dawn a fellow professional dog walker and pet sitter I have got to know over the years but she is also someone I now call a good friend ❤️
Thanks again for looking after all my much loved dogs and clients 😘💐

Secrets of a Dog Walker
1. It's a lifestyle, not just a job. If you're in it for the money you've made a big mistake because a) you're never going to be rich, and b) you won't survive your first winter if that's your only motivation. We see these people come and go from time to time.
2. We talk to each other more than you might think. About the best walking boots, what clothing we are wearing for today's weather, our financial struggles, the traffic, dodgy men in the woods, fallen trees, etc. It's a lonely job but we have each other's backs from a distance.
3. We don't physically have eyes in the backs of our heads but we recognise the jingle of every ID tag, and each dog's individual footfall on the ground behind us, we may as well have.
4. We can't physically see round corners either, but we know so well each dog's body language in reaction to something they may have seen that we may as well be able to.
5. We hear "Are they all yours?!" and "you've got your hands full" at least twice a day, but we always smile and say "They keep me on my toes". Every. Single. Time.
6. It actually breaks our heart when a dog moves out of our area, and we thoroughly investigate our replacement for our own peace of mind, even if the client hasn't asked us to.
7. If you peel back a few layers of clothing (depending on the season) you will find bruises, scratches and scrapes covering the whole of our bodies. Don't bother asking where they came from, we have no idea.
8. We love our clients' dogs as we do our own and will sometimes lie awake at night worrying about them. Their illnesses, and behaviour changes. We can't help it after spending so much time with them.
10. Despite the financial uncertainty, the harsh winters, the blood, sweat and tears, it really is the best job in the world.

Some hot weather tips and signs to look out for with heatstroke.
A missed day of walks is better than a missed dog ❤️
If its hot for you, it's too hot for them.
Walk them early morning or late evening, if you can't do those times don't walk the dog at all.
Not worth the risk raising their temperature for an already uncomfortable day.

After seeing this post yesterday and people still out walking their dogs in 28° and above!
Here's a few things to look at.

Leave the dogs at home in a cool room in the house and walk them around 9pm or not at all on hot days.
It's not worth it, all dogs want to go for walks and will keep on at you to take them out, better to feel guilty not taking them out than feel guilty for what could happen to them if you did.

Today I lost a best friend 💔😭
This boy came into my life 9 years ago for walks.
He was my side kick, my therapy dog easing new dogs into group walks and helping nervous dogs to trust dogs.
His gentle nature and happy soul made every walk enjoyable not only for me but the many dogs I've walked with him.
Although he wasn't my dog I loved him as much as I would if he was.
Thank-you Alfie for filling my heart with so much love and laughter.
You really was something special 🤍
Going to miss our walks and adventures together so much 😢
Love you Alfie Walfie ❤️🐾
see you on the other side, I'll bring treats 😘 ❤️ 💙

Looks like a Black and white cat on dual carriage way side of Queen Eleanor (on slip road going on to dual carriage way)
Looked like it had white paws.
Run over a few times sadly 😢 not sure how to get it off the road or pick it up to get it scanned with how it looked 😞
Anyone missing one in wootton?
