Walkies with Jo Fox

30/07/2024

Morning walks done: started in the ridgeway, but it felt warmer than my phone said it was, so we got in our vehicle and took to dipping our paws 🐾 and toes in the di**le.

Now to spend the rest of the day in the shaded house I am grateful for …

as an FYI Denny did not need carrying, Seb just thinks he’s a baby. Don’t panicking Hettie doesn’t have her dog walking licence yet, short times her holding a dog as we approach the car is acceptable. Teaching them values and spending time as a family.

At 9pm we put on our wellies and headed down to the di**le. It got dark quick, but what a lovely way to spend an evening, paddling. Even recovering olive got her little feet wet.

This view gets me every single time. I spend most of my week walking different parts of the ridgeway and although parts of this walk can attract many walks I actually love the chat with some. Today my three boarders walked (on lead as I wasn’t sure on their recall with all the walkers) with my beautiful Wednesday lunchtime pair. Everyone got on well and I looking to having these three off lead together next week.

it’s been a pleasure having these guys stay for their first visit Wallace and Muscles joint Otto over a long weekend. All three were an absolute pleasure.

Not gonna lie today is Baltic, my second walk of the morning and the weather has dramatically changed. Need to get these shorts off and back into some jogging bottoms.

After a week away in the sunshine, I am back to the beautiful sunshine and countryside of the UK doing what I love. This morning with three beautiful girls. Half run, half walk as my body is too tired to actually run today.

If you message me over the last 10 days and I have not got back to you regarding boarding or walking, please bear with me. over the next 48 hours I will pick up admin and respond accordingly

Do What you love 🐾 ❤️💦 fitness instructor and dogs, perfect combination 🙂

Perfect weather for dog Walking, three beautiful girls, the wind in our hair, a slight sprinkling of rain. However, somehow I dress like it was going to be 30°.

Welcome to the world of dog boarding and dog Walking, literally no two days are the same 27° yesterday and 17° today. But I’ve got my three beautiful girls Willow, Lizzy and Tillie are all enjoying a little walk out (or although Tillie doesn’t walk this far, so there’s a good chance I will end up carrying her , home, which is absolutely fine).

I’ve not posted in a while. Boarding is booming and it’s back to back. But today I got to walk with two friends. Three adults, 8 dogs and a touch of a sunshine whilst at Barbury Castle. Thanks Ant and Nick for joining me

Can’t wait to have Bonny board with us again later in the year

We have had the best Saturday, we have two puppies boarding from two separate homes this week. Both are under a year so enrichment is a huge part of our daily routine. One to one play time as well as letting them play together. Today has been playing in a field, stealing bbq food (whoop) and lots of attention.

Thank god for the slightly warmer weather 🙂 x

The trial nights are coming in thick and fast this month. This week we have opened our home to three different families.

Why do we do this?

For your dog to feel happy and settled when it comes to your holiday, get any anxiety out of the way, and scope out their home from home.

For you to ask questions, understand out set up and make sure you feel comfortable leaving your dog with us.

For me to make sure the dog is the right fit for our set up, to understand there temperament and to bond with your dog

For my children, to make sure they are happy and confident having the new dogs in the home, if they are not comfortable we do not go any further.

The love we have to share with all these guys is huge, but we do and always will cover a number of different directional thought processes before coming to a decision.

Thank you to everyone who has booked for 2024. We are so proud to say our part time love has become out full time business and we could not be happier.

Please continue to share for us, 2024 maybe rather busy but I’m sure we could fit in a few extra squeezes 🐕 ❤️

The fantastic world of family boarding. We had a new fluffy friend coming to stay for a trail night. As you can see he was warmly recieved and slotted straight in.

Now we are just counting down until he gets to be out cuddle bear for a week.

Can’t wait ❤️ slightly in love

As Cara and I walk up the Ridgeway (mainly so I can get a hill climb power walk on) I look down at Cara and feel bad for not taken her on her normal lunch time walk where she gets to pretend to be a duck in a stream. But that said it’s nice for me as I won’t have to dry her off when we get home. Then I see this post on FB about the breed of dogs and what they were originally trained for. I chuckle to myself, Cara is 50% duck and she is sooooo happy in the water. This small write up may not be correct for all labs, but for her the author got it spot on ❤️

02/03/2024

When Cara met Clem. Both lovable labs, one thinks she’s a duck the other was watching in amazement 🙂 x
