Paws Awhile - Foxton

25/07/2024

A fabulous week full of happy kids and happy wandering through fantastic farmland and forestry.
And the weather was pretty darn amazing too 🌞
Almost as amazing as these very cool k9 kids 😍

20/07/2024

Thursday was a full on day with a mix of paddock play chasing sticks and each other 😅😂
And then it was off to Waitarere for a beach and forest walk.
Fun fun times 😍
We had some tired kids by the end of that day 😴

Wednesday's kids had a wander through the logged but replanted forest tracks.
Nice soft walking surface. Fab views of the perfectly still waters of the Manawatu River.
Tosh and Nita were besties and did a lot of chase me hooning.
It was a slow wander given miss Pugalee's little short leggies 🥰
Class as usual is hard to get pics of when he sticks like glue to the back of me 😆

Hey all.
I have these two wild born kitties here that are ready for their forever home or homes.
They are siblings and have been desexed.
They're around 9 months old.
Wally is the bigger one in front and Freya in behind.
Wally is an absolute smooch and will climb up on you for pats and cuddles and sometimes gets so carried away that he'll sometimes have a little dribble lol 🥰🥰
Freya, the girl is also really starting to enjoy her pats though she is still a little shy so will need time to settle in. She has the most beautiful satin like fur 🩶
Ideally I would love for these kitties to go to a home together as they are bonded siblings but will consider separating them for the right homes 😊
I took them on as it was getting to the point where they may have had to be put to sleep 😢
I cannot keep them here as I already have the two kitties I rescued last October.
Please help me find them a forever home 🙏🩷

These guys were stoked to be back after a two week break 🥰
They played and played and ran and swum and just thoroughly enjoyed their day 😊
The first week was unfortunately due to injuring my back demolishing the old kitchen 😬🙄.
The second week was the planned kitchen makeover week which thankfully my amazing brother was able to step up and manage 🙌. I was a rather slow lackey 😉.
Photos at the end show the before and after 😊

Hey everyone 😊
Just a reminder that PawsAwhile is closed this week 😉
All will be back to normal next week 👍

27/06/2024

Here's a full weekly bombardment for you 😁
Fab walks out and about with your k9 kids 😀
Sorry for the blurry pics 😬
Speedy k9's can be hard to take pictures of 😆

20/06/2024

Well, you'd have thought it was still summer with the stunning day we were blessed with at the river today 🌞🌞
Harper didn't care that the water was freezing 😬🥶😆
Bear got the shivers, Wookiee had a splash and paddle, Ava finally crossed the shallows on her own 😁, Milah still only gets waist deep lol
Hazel was away getting her hair done, Foxx was having a sick day 🤧 and so was Kera 🥰

18/06/2024

Tuesdays kids having a blast at Himatangi Beach yesterday 😎
Tried to get some front shots instead of the usual flying butts 🤣
What I got was a whole lot of giggles at the comical faces and lolling tongues 👅 🤣

16/06/2024

Thursdays kids were split down the middle and we did two separate walks 🚶‍♂️
Young hypos in the morning and then sedate easies in the arvo 😉 😍
So many thanks to my amazing farmer for allowing us to wander the farm as we please 🥰

Wednesday's kids in the forest 🌲🌲

11/06/2024

Tuesdays farm walk.
Loving the lush green grass 💚💚
Koby and Astro have both had some time away recently so it's great to have them both back on board.
Koby had everyone doing zoomies today but it was Hazel and Sass who were his 'chosen' friends for the day 😍
A bit of rain has put some water in the ditches and the kids are loving it 👌 (as well as the usual troughs)

Wow!!!
What a truly exhilarating experience!
Photos to come from all of my amazing support crew ❤️ 💜 💙
I never ever considered jumping out of a plane before but the cause was well worth it!!
With your help we raised over $2300 for the Cancer Society 👏👏👏
Thank you all for your donations 🥰
I'm looking forward to sharing the pics with you 😊

Fab walks this week ☺️
The mix of forest and beach is always good for the soul.
Great for satisfying the k9 sensory organs and whimsical delights too 🤣😍🤣😍

I've copied this notice from another page.
Please make contact with your own vet to update your dogs vaccinations if they need it done.

Kennel Cough 🐶⚠️

Just a heads up that we are starting to see a growing number of Kennel Cough cases in the area. This is a reminder to make sure your dogs are up to date with their Kennel Cough vaccine. Vaccination will reduce the chance of clinical disease, the seriousness of clinical signs, and the length of time they are infected.

Kennel Cough causes a dry hacking cough that sometimes lasts for several weeks. If you suspect your dog may have Kennel Cough please avoid taking your dog out.

If you have any concerns or would like to book your pet in for vaccination please give us a call on 06 364 6941 💚

Well Thursday was such a busy day with new girls Tesla the Golden Retriever and Ava the Border collie that I've slept for two days since 😯😉😅
Not really lol, but 8 month old Tesla is a play play play kid and once Ava warmed up to the new environment she too kept us on our toes 😍

Beautiful Beautiful Tuesday in Waitarere Forest 😍
A perfect day for our first walk in the forest in ages 💚💚

09/05/2024

We've had some absolutely stunning days this last week and even though the morning temperatures have dropped it seems our swimmers aren't bothered by the chill 😀

08/05/2024

Yep, I'm jumping for Cancer!!
If you would like to help me fundraise please follow the link below and complete a donation 🙏🙏
I've never wanted to do a tandem jump, or any jump tbh but the very recent passing of my best friend of 37 years to Cancer has made me put on some 'big girl pants' so that I can help the Cancer Society with the amazing work they do to help the people suffering through this terrible disease 😢
Thank you so very much 🥰

I am gutted! Yesterday the kids and I had a great walk in Waitarere Forest and yep, you guessed it! All the photos I took disappeared again 😭😭
Seems it's my phone having a wee meltdown and when I do a restart it's asking me if I want to change the location of pictures to the SD card (which is where they're set to go anyway) and in the process they turn into thumbnails in my settings somewhere and I cant get them back out to being normal size pictures 😠😔
This process also doesn't allow them time to slip up into my clouds ☹️
So, me thinks it might be a trip to Palmy to the phone shop is in order 😬
Can't keep losing these precious images!

I'm sure I must have most of Foxton's water loving k9s come to daycare 🤣🤣🤣

06/12/2023

We welcomed Astro back after a break due to some sore paw issues and I think it safe to say he had a good first day back 😉😆

06/12/2023

Play, play, play, play, play 😉😆

06/12/2023

The communal bath 🤣🤣🤣

Hey everyone. We here at Paws Awhile are going to have a wee break over Christmas and the New Year 🎄🎉
Our last day for the year will be Friday 22nd and we will start back on Tuesday 16th January.
We wish everyone who has supported us, liked, and followed us throughout this past year a safe and happy holiday season 🥰

Well, I'm sorry, I have to apologise for my lack of 'tech skills'! (again😬)
Seems all of todays photos have gone 'p**f' into a black hole somewhere 🫢🤔😭. And..... they're not even in my 'clouds'!!
Yesterdays pics are in my google cloud but my lack of tech skills mean I'm struggling to figure out how to transfer them to the PawsAwhile page 😫
I had some great shots and videos of some really really dirty dogs too 🤣🤣
As soon as I can figure out where they are I'll post them for you all to have a good ole laugh 🤣👍😍
