The very Nobel Mr. L….🐾
What a handsome boy…. This dog is ‘double digits’ in age… and just look at the amazing condition he is in.. he still drags me in the door… he’s as strong as a horse 😆

Ohhh my ‘puppy ovaries’ ❤️… this little beauty … gives nothing but kisses.. (when her battery finally runs out 😆) she’s only a baby and it’s only her 2nd time here… so it’s ‘ puppy paw steps’. …to make sure she gets the best experience possible, to set her on the road to enjoying being pampered….
She was a little ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and looks SO proud in herself ❤️

Just a gentle reminder..🐾
If you got your dog groomed, more than 5 weeks ago (and it’s a hard to maintain coat) and you have not made another appointment, I am now into the middle of July with grooming appointments….so it will leave your Dog to long between their appointments 🐾🐾🐾it’s never to early to book…. Don’t leave it… book it….
When the day is booked out… it’s booked ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy Bonfire aNight… 🔥
Or as we say at home ‘ Oíche Fheile Eon’
It’s a old Tradition handed down, that we always do……Light the fire and say a Prayer….and tomorrow we gather a handful of the ashes, and sprinkle them on the land as a blessing for any crops and animal’s, for the coming year….
Happy Oíche Eon from the hills
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Now usually, I would never share something like this on my page… BUT, this hit a nerve, as this has happened to me and my horse, with off lead, no control, or no recall with dogs…..
It is a very frightening situation to be in, as your trying to control a huge animal, prevent any accidents to the dogs, owners, horse… horses are ‘flight’ animals and even the best schooled and trained horses can be unpredictable in situations like this…
if you don’t have 100% RECALL on your Dog, if your dog does not dash back to you IMMEDIATELY… you have no recall… no control… so yes your responsible if any accident happens….
Keep your dog, yourself, and others safe at all times… BE SENSIBLE…and keep your dogs on a lead if you know, that you are not able to control them ‘off lead’ 🐴🐴🐾🐾

What a fantastic weekend at the festival ❤️🐾… when your taking part .. you don’t have time for taking photos 🙈… All the Donegal Team dogs did us proud, and ran a blinder on the Sat and Sunday…
MA and Little Smiggles did themselves proud… as did Skyla herself…!!! A giggle a second, a laugh a minute and fun .. great fun, with like minded people… a huge thank you to our trainer and mentor ‘Tanya, at K9 Academy Dog Training and Boarding… for getting us here, and all her support and encouragement……the weather held out for us and drew a huge crowd… humans and dogs are wrecked today 😆

20/05/2024

Hello 🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️🐕🐕🐕
As most of my amazing boarding doggies now know, going forward from 5th June, SP will no longer be offering a boarding service ❤️❤️Due to personal and family commitments, I can no longer commit to being here 24/7 and 7 days a week… so I’m taking a ‘step back’ from the boarding 🐾🐾🐾
I shall still be offering a grooming service to all my clients, and we will be starting up the Flyball again soon… Keep a eye on the page for dates 🎾🎾🎾…
It’s been 15 years (yes 15 years)….of pure passion and dedication, Made possible by each and every paw that walked through my door, and I am eternally grateful and thankful to each and every one of you for supporting me year after year… and making it possible to live my dream ❤️
This has been a very difficult and challenging decision to make, but in the interests of my family, one I have to call 🥲
Who knows what the future holds, and SP will always be here, as it was specially designed and built for dogs, I might find myself in the future in a position where I can reopen the boarding again and welcome you all back home….
Till then I shall still see a lot of my friends, back for grooming and Flyball…
THANK YOU…. For all the amazing love and support and welcoming me into your family over the years…I’ll never forget anybody, and keep all the memories we have shared close to my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
