What's worse than having to clean fox poo off a spaniel in a sink? Having to clean it off 2 spaniels.

It's with huge sadness I announce the passing of Kizzie. She was a truly wonderful dog. She started life on the streets of Turkey before being rescued and getting to live her best life with her person Morag. In her golden year's this kind old dog still had one new trick,she became best friends with my daughter. My daughter loved her so much her owner wrote her Kizzie's life story, a tale which is still read to this day and she even took the story in for show and tell in nursery. Kizzie's doggy pals will miss her but not as much as the Pow family. Kizzie went on her last hike Thursday and was at peace on the Friday so enjoyed herself to the end, if we all should be so lucky we'll have lived great lives. Goodbye Kizzie.

As the year ends I again want to thank all my loyal customers who by trusting me with your dogs have helped me turn what I love doing into a successful business and in doing so have yet again managed to prevent me from having to get a job in a warm dry office, thank you. When I started in 2019 I had no idea if I'd survive 5minutes let alone still be here over 5 years later, infact as 62% of businesses in the UK fail in the first 5 years the chances were slim but I'm still here, still going strong, so again thank you. I look forward to new adventures with your fur babies in 2025 and wish you all a happy New Year. Love from the Pow's.
p.s here's a picture of Bailey using upside down ninja kicks to throw sand in Kai's face. Or perhaps just getting so excited she rolls over like a barrel when she turns too fast. Either way it's funny when she does it.

Poor Trigger just wants me to throw the ball instead his brother has T-Boned into him at full speed 😂

When I started Pow's Paws 5years ago I thought one of the upsides was I'd get all the fun of the dogs but without the worry and stress of them getting sick, injured or just plain old. I quickly realised my error once they became a part of my life, instead of less to worry about I had a multitude more. Every time one of them was off with their owners to the vets with a strange illness, unexpected lumps, epileptic fit and emergency surgeries I worry have I seen my pal for the last time? Sadly that time has come for Louie. He was a hugely protective big brother to Lucy and then Suzie. If you were part of our gang then he'd have your dogs back no matter what but if you were a strange dog getting in his sisters face well then all bets were off. For atleast the last year he'd been too slow to come out with the groups but he still loved coming to down to see his sister off and get a good stroke. I'm going to miss you pal, rest easy.

Today I had the privilege of being the Judge(ably assisted/instructed by my daughter) at Monifieth Gala Day Dog Show. They had the categories waggiest tale, celebrity lookalike, floppiest ears, best behaved best dressed and finally dog of the day. Every dog was class and they were all a real credit to their owners, all winners in my eyes but sadly I couldn't give prizes to them all. I awarded dog of the day to this big friendly lump of a Shepherd called Bear as 1) he was a stunner and 2)any time I saw a dog bark at him due to his size all day he just ignored it and plodded along. Well done to all the entrants hope you had a great time you were all very good doggos.

The face you pull when you realise the rest of the country is getting a day off work because their computers are on strike.

Little known fact Kizzie is solar powered, after living here for so many years since moving from Turkey she knows she needs to grab any brief moment of sun she can to recharge the old batteries.

So I've been forgetting to update this I'd like to welcome Padi the Girl Collie. As opposed to Paddy the Boy Collie, wasn't the smartest idea having them out together on her first walk 'not you Paddy, the other Padi' and Kai the Vizsla . You'll notice they are both having a wee rest that's because the pair of them keep playing zoomies with pros who have had years of practice but they'll soon be upto speed. Welcome to the gang.

Bank Holiday Monday can mean only 1 thing. Free child labour, I mean family bonding time making memories 😬

After a visit to the McManus yesterday my daughter had a nightmare about the stuffed Wolf chasing her but she said she rode Rocco's back to safety. Not sure how to tell her that Rocco would be even more afraid as it was probably one of his great great grandparents chasing you!

26/04/2024

Congratulations to Rocco who earned his KC Good Citizen Silver Award last night. If you don't stop stealing balls from my pocket though I'll tell the judge before you go for your Gold award!

When you have one walk to go before a nice Easter half day and your clutch decides to die at side of road 😭😒.

P.S big thanks to The Fast and The Furriest Dundee who stopped to see if I needed any dogs dropped off. Thankfully van was empty. And for giving me half your chocolate orange as I sat there cursing 😅.

If anyone is still wondering if its been wetter this spring the frogs are spawning in the grass. One lucky neighbour/customer is in for a surprise in their pond.

As I'm going out the door my daughters informed me she's set up a vets in her room and handed me a list saying I'm to bring her 10 pets to the vet. I'm not sure how many dogs she thinks get hurt in a given day but certainly not ten! Also surely it's a conflict of interest if I injure them then bring them to be treated by my 5year old, although I could split the insurance pay out with her? 🤔

Afternoon Pow's Paws followers, remember in 2019 when you started following my page and in doing so helped me turn what I love doing into a viable business? Well here's your chance to do it again, my mate Glenn after years of looking after his own body, fitness and health is now ready and qualified to help you with yours. Even if your a stunning Adonis like me (🤥) give his page a follow so the next time a mate says they'd like to get a bit fitter you can say 'hang on I know a guy that'll help with that'. That way you'll help your mate and you'll help mine. Cheers

So you may remember I listed Maddie with a ligament injury at New Year. The one good thing to come from that was because she got regular check ups from the vet on the injury they saw what they'd originally thought was just a fatty lump on her other leg was growing pretty fast. Lump removed and all good now so here she was after weeks and weeks out. Pretty stiff but she'll soon ease off, also i've never seen a dog so happy as when I came to pick her up.

Either Patch loves me so much he wants all the dogs to know I'm his or he was getting fed up waiting whist I spoke to his mum. I hope it's the former but sadly it was probably the latter.

Not every dog is great at catching balls especially when you have legs like a supermodels and a neck like a giraffe but it's the having fun that's important! #clumsydog #tayportdogwalker #dundeedogwalker #ridgebacksofinstagram

Interesting start to the day it's not often you see fire fighters battling fires in the forest you're walking in. Not sure I had that on my risk assessments. Anyway I'm away for a piss on a tree, anything to help. Cheers to the Tayport and Dundee crews plus whomever's in the whirlymagig for keeping my place of work intact. #Tentsmuir

Pep talk with the last remaining groups before I shoot off on my holidays. I'll reply to any messages when I get back.

For everyone who's feeling down looking out at the miserable weather , here's a throw back to the Halcyon days of last week when it was 28degrees in the shade here and the boys were happy just getting a hose down!

Jax slow mo

Jax is a stunning dog but missing a ball in slow mo makes him look about as graceful as a hippo doing ballet.

Rumble in the Stubble

I always wonder how they decide 'now it's your turn to chase me'?

Sacha and juno

Sacha has joined the gang. She was a rescue at about 18months and like so many rescues is unsure about men. I had the first meeting to make sure she liked me, she took to me straight away so we then did a solo walk to make sure she was happy to go with me and then to ease her into the group she went out with Juno. She's been an absolute star and will soon be off the lead bombing about with her new pals.

New puppy.

Introducing the latest in the class of 2021, (young)Shadow. Like with most puppys of late her young lad wants her out socialising with other dogs as she hasn't had as much as he'd like due to all the restrictions. As to be expected she's still a little nervous with other dogs but was happily sniffing and running in circles with Sydney when she instigates it. Welcome to the gang.

Puppy play date

So after managing to get the van out for the first time since Monday I found I couldn't park at my usual routes as they hadn't been cleared. So for the morning dogs we fell back to plan B which was a playdate in the garden! Left the old boy in the house as he wouldn't have been best pleased with three young guns ruining HIS snow and playing with HIS balls, he spent a good half hour re-scent marking the garden.

Snow dogs.

I'm glad the doggos had fun in the snow on the morning walk when we eventually got over to Tentsmuir because driving on the side roads and many hills of Dundee today was about as much fun as getting a prostate exam from Edward Scissorhands.

Shadows return

So this was a very significant walk today. 4 months ago Shadow developed a slight limp on a walk, I checked his paws, no glass or cuts or any obvious reason atall for it. I filmed him walking to try figure out which paw was causing the limp and to show his mum. He was happy and still wanting to chase the ball but I wasn't so cut walk short to get him back to his mum. Managed to get in the van by himself. Struggled up his steps to his mum and dad and by that night he couldn't move atall. This was a terrifying time for his family and myself my thought was he must have had a stroke. I was wrong, the specialists in Edinburgh discovered a disc in his back had ruptured and leaked out its fluid cutting off the signals down his back. No operation was required but a stay in Edinburgh was followed by months of physio and hydro therapy whilst the swelling went down and he rediscovered the ability to first stand then walk. At one point he even had doggy wheels to support his back legs. His back legs may never be the same again and he likely won't be able to ever sprint after balls which was his signature style just little kicks in front of him but to just have him back out was a miracle. To this day there's no reason for why it happened, no collisions with other dogs or anything just his normal 'Shadowing about' after balls. He managed just over half an hour before he was tired because of the effort on the hard ground but it was a great belated Christmas present from Santa Paws. Great to have you back Shadow.
