Throw back to a baby Indie being brave enough to come down the stairs for the very first time 🥲
6+ years down the line's she's so grey she barely looks like the same dog, still just as sassy though 😅

We used a generator to narrow our entries down to 3 accounts and then Indie had the final say on 1st, 2nd and runner up prize selection which she thoroughly enjoyed 😂🎉
Congratulations to @belgian_buddy.rebellious_ruby who is our 1st prize winner, @cullinanetracey who is our 2nd prize winner and @heartsandhampers29 who is our runner up! Please DM us within 24 hours to confirm acceptance of your prizes!
Thank you so much to everyone who entered and helped us celebrate the launch of our small business, it means the world to us! 🥰
We've loved taking care of these guys for the past couple of weeks, could watch them for hours 😍
They've been pretty low maintenance due to the drop in temperatures so we've just been keeping an eye on their filtration and removing any leaves that find their way into the water 💧 🍂

We're split between two houses at the moment as Nicole's looking after her parent's pets while they're on holiday. It means we've got to be a little bit more organised than usual but we're making it work 🏡🐾🐟
Also in case you were wondering, the veg wasn't actually luminous, it was just the light 🥗💡😅

We are obsessed with Toe, the crested gecko! We're looking after him for a few weeks while his human is on holiday and he is just the cutest little guy 🥹🦎

🐾 Did you know a sniff-friendly walk can do wonders for your dog’s well-being? Letting them stop to smell the world isn’t just natural - it's essential!
From tapping into their natural superpower to boosting mental health and building trust, there are so many reasons to embrace a slower pace.
A stroll-and-sniff is just the tip of the iceberg though - keep reading for more ways you can help your dog embrace their sniff!
▫️Mantrailing – This is like a treasure hunt where your dog follows a specific scent trail to "find" someone. It's fun and mentally stimulating for dog and owner, plus it builds confidence! Check out @4furrypawsgalway to learn more about this awesome sport 🙌
▫️Scent Work Classes – Many trainers offer scent detection classes where dogs learn to identify specific scents and signal when they've found them. It’s similar to what working detection dogs do, but for fun!
▫️DIY Scent Games – Use boxes or containers, placing treats in some but not others, and let your dog search them out. You can start simple and increase complexity at your dog's pace.
▫️Snuffle Mats – These mats are designed with fabric folds where you can hide dry food or treats. Dogs love using their noses to forage through the layers, simulating natural hunting behaviour.
▫️Scatter Feeding – Instead of using a bowl, scatter their food across the garden or floor. This turns mealtime into a foraging game!
▫️Hide-and-Seek with Treats – Hide treats or toys around the house or garden and let your dog sniff them out. This works their brain and keeps them entertained indoors.
▫️Tracking Games – Lay down a scent trail using a treat or toy, guiding your dog along it. This activity allows them to follow a scent over a longer distance, building their skills and endurance.
▫️Scent-Based Toys – Toys that you can fill with treats or scented materials encourage dogs to use their noses as they play, adding an extra level of interest and
Not quite pet related but we feel like lots of pet owners are also candle lovers so we thought you might appreciate this little discovery as much as we do!
We always have a problem with candles either being too strong or not being strong enough - honestly, the struggle is real and we're pretty sure we aren't the only ones with this issue 🙄
The fact that this powder wax candle is DIY means we can adjust the scent strength to our preference 🙌
Nicole put it together in about 2 minutes this morning and our house currently smells glorious, so far so good. We weren't originally planning on sharing this (hence the pan on the hob in the background 😂) and just wanted to show the process to Nicole's Mum but it's turned out so well we couldn't keep it to ourselves 😅
We stumbled upon these in the gorgeous @onemorething.ie pop-up in @kildarevillage yesterday where they stock the most beautiful (seriously, BEAUTIFUL) preserved flowers as well as these fabulous little candles. 10/10 recommend a visit if you get the chance while the pop-up is there 🕯💐

So grateful to have a safe space for them less than an hour from our front door 🙌
