🐾 Musty’s Big Adventure! 😅
Musty had a wonderful walk with Retha — plenty of fresh air, happy sniffs, and a little bit of unexpected excitement! 🐕💨

A young bull in the paddock decided he wanted to join the fun and came running over to say hello 🤪🐮

Both Musty and Retha picked up the pace toward the house pretty quickly! 😄

After all that excitement, Musty was exhausted and was out like a light when she got home. 💕💤

🥑 Bayley and Her “Special Ball” 😂
When Critter Carer Sue arrived for her visit, she thought Bayley had found herself a ball to play with… but on closer look — it was an avocado! 🥑🐶

Bayley was so proud of her “find” and carried it around like treasure, refusing to let it go. Even the next day, she still had it clutched in her mouth! 😄

Sue eventually managed to swap the avocado for a tasty lamb’s ear (a very fair trade, if you ask us!) and tucked the avocado somewhere safe. 💚

Just another day of adorable antics with our clever Critter Care crew!

🐱 Ever had your cat knead your lap like it’s a loaf of bread? 🍞

Here’s why cats knead:
💛 Comfort behaviour from kittenhood (they kneaded mum for milk)
💛 Marking you as “theirs” — scent glands in paws release happy pheromones
💛 Showing affection and trust

So next time your cat starts kneading, take it as a warm, fuzzy compliment 🐾💕

🐱 Brushing Time with Snowflake! ❄️
Critter Carer Sue spent some pamper time with beautiful Snowflake — and wow, did this fluffy girl have lots of fur to share! 🧺💨

After brushing, Sue got a bit creative and used all that loose fur to make a mini Snowflake beside the real one 😹💗
We think they make quite the adorable pair!

🦜 Charlie the Character! 💛
Critter Carer Luanne looked after Charlie recently for a week — and he had quite the range of moods! 😄

Some mornings he was all fluffed up and sleepy 😴, other days he raced to his bowl for breakfast 🍎🌾. Cashews? Some days yes… some days absolutely not 😂

He watched the palms sway, chatted (silently!) with Luanne, and soaked up the sunshine between the rainy spells ☀️🌧️

All in all, one very well-fed, much-loved, slightly sassy bird 💕🦜

🐶 Ever wondered what your dog’s tail is really saying?
It’s not just wagging = happy!

👉 High, fast wag – excited or alert
👉 Low, slow wag – uncertain or cautious
👉 Tail tucked – nervous or scared
👉 Loose, mid-level wag – relaxed and content

🐾 Playtime with Boston! 🐶
Critter Carer Sue always has a great time with Boston — a few rounds of fetch, followed by one of his favourite games: biscuit hide-and-seek! 🍪🌿

She tucked a little treat into the shrubs for him to sniff out, and of course, that clever nose found it in no time. 👃💚

A perfect mix of play, enrichment, and tail-wagging fun! 🥎✨

Based in Cambridge, Julia is also available for house sitting in Hamilton. She can’t wait to meet your fur family and help keep tails wagging! 💛

We love sharing snacks with our pets, but not all foods are safe.
✅ Pet-safe treats: apple slices (no core or seeds), carrots, plain cooked pumpkin, blueberries, banana, eggs, plain cooked chicken.
❌ Avoid: chocolate, grapes/raisins, onions, garlic, avocado.

Always double-check before sharing – what’s tasty for us can be toxic for them.

👇Tell us in the comments what food does your dog love sharing with you?

🎃👻 Halloween is fun for us, but can be scary for pets!
✅ Keep chocolate and lollies out of reach
✅ Ensure costumes are comfy and safe
✅ Provide a quiet space away from door knocks and trick-or-treaters
Keeping pets safe means everyone enjoys the night! 🐾

Overnight with Tippy, Lucy, and Jim 🐾✨

Lucy was full of beans when Lisha stayed overnight, racing up and down the hallway with a bottle cap she found — who needs fancy toys when you’ve got recycling? 😹 They had a good play session to help her get those zoomies out.

Tippy preferred a quieter evening, cozying up for naps in the carrier. 🐱💤

Jim was his independent self — moving from the couch, to the bean bag, and finally settling into the main bedroom where it’s a little warmer. He wasn’t too sure about a bathroom break before bed, but Lisha kept an ear out for him through the night.

Three very different personalities, all keeping us company in their own special ways. 💛

Water is just as important for pets as it is for us! 🐾
💦 Always provide fresh, clean water
💦 Wash bowls daily to prevent bacteria
💦 Cats often prefer running water – try a pet fountain
💦 Dogs may need extra hydration after walks or play
A simple tip: place multiple water bowls around the house to encourage regular drinking.
