Taking The Lead

Poppy and I went for a walk through the domain this afternoon and she found a stick she thought was the best stick in the whole wide world! So naturally she had to carry it home with us 🤣 😀
She was very proud of herself! 🤩

Every picture tells a story!!!! Firework night sadly usually tells a story of terrified dogs shivering and shaking in their kennels or tied up on their lonely chains terrified of the loud bangs and flashes. Horses careering around their paddocks smashing through paddocks breaking their legs in the process. Please think before buying Fireworks this year please 🙏

I have been absent on this page for a long time but I thought I'd put a post up to let you all know that I am still about and still doing what I love, which is looking after your fur babies! Although I don't do this full time any more, I'm still available for dog walking as well as Dog boarding on my weekends 😀

This weekend we have Poppy back to stay for the weekend 🤩 we have been on a mini adventure around the river this evening and we even watched the Civil defense practice scenario's at the park. 😊

Just a light hearted reminder on how important it is that pets are a life long commitment.
Merry Xmas from us at Taking The Lead 🌟🎄

URGENT REHOMING

Looking to rehome my children, ages 10 and 14. Honestly, I didn’t do enough research about having kids before making this commitment & they just don’t fit into mine & my dog’s schedules anymore. The dogs and I are so busy. Also, the kids are starting to have behavioural issues that they never had as newborns & we’ve tried everything to work through these issues but it’s not improving & we just can’t have this much of a liability in our home anymore. One of them shouted at my dog and now I'm worried they'll bite my dogs 😢

They are ruining my marriage due to stress, waking me up early & tearing up my house, ruining my furniture, my walls, everything. I got another dog recently and he just doesn't like the kids very much, it's not fair to make them live together. Also, we’re moving & have found a home with a huge garden for my dogs but just couldn’t find one with enough bedrooms for these kids.
It’s saddens me (please no judging or negative comments) and I am aware of how much emotional damage this will be on them & probably never fully recover from being abandoned but it’s just the circumstance we’re dealing with but please PM me if interested. There is a re-homing fee because I want to make sure that they get a good home!

Do your research BEFORE you get a dog and DON'T buy or adopt because they look cute!!

❤ comically highlighting the plight alot of animals have to go through, please do your research and think about whether your lifestyle allows for a dog (or other pet) for the next 15 years ❤
Desex your pets, if you aren't able to afford desexing reach out to a rescue organization for help!
