Jeff does love a yoghurt pot 🍯 keeps him happy for ages ⏰ :)

An interloper has appeared in the garden...Jeff watches with interest to see what happens next 🤔

That was a lot of rain earlier, glad to see the sunshine making an appearance now 😁

Had a few days home and have come to my current job earlier than originally planned but glad I could do so. My wish (among every one else's) for a miracle is not to be so my next best wish is to make as many memories as possible. My thoughts, cyber hugs and my love to you all. I'll take good care of all the pets here and am around if you need me ❤️ xx

Had a quick pit stop home before arriving back with these three lovelies. Their greeting is always a joy, so good to see them again :)

A few pics of some of the pets here, such lovely characters they all are 🐶🐱

Coming to the end of a much needed relax at home. Enjoyed a catch up meal at a new restaurant to us which was fab, day trip to Ruse, lots of cuddles with our bunch. Feeling refreshed and ready for meeting some new faces at a new village to me. Also appreciating the slightly lower temperature today, we need some rain!

Things you didn't know you wanted to see until you did.....one of the dogs hadn't had his dinner when the rain started yesterday so moved the bowl closer to the kennel to keep food dry. A little bit later saw a shape eating from it, closer look and it was a hedgehog 🦔 After filling it's belly it proceeded to climb into the kennel and hide in the covers. I don't know why this tickled me so much but it did ;) 😜😆🤣

Well this morning's walk was eventful! Some of the cats came along with us, Jeff found some corn to carry and we had a pit stop to all get some water. As we were heading back we felt the ground begin to tremble and knew something was heading our way. A mother deer and her young one came crashing out of the vegetation, young one to the side of us and the mother right behind us, within touching distance, crazy close. Cue the dogs going off in hot pursuit, Sam stayed with me. Took us a while to find Jeff and was so relieved to find him intact and fine, albeit definitely out of puff. So glad the worry at the time was unfounded and that all the pets are fine, phew my heart rate can't take it ha ha

Evening is the time for the garden this week!

13/07/2024

Phew it's hot! Pets are finding all the shade! ;)

Had a very restful 5 days at home so am definitely over the worst of the bug now. Arrived back in the Vratsa area yesterday after a very smooth journey and got a fab welcome from the dogs 🐕 We went out early this morning to take advantage of the temperature and wow it never ceases to amaze me how quickly everything grows here!

30/06/2024

I've been under the weather with a bug I picked up while home for a few days and it's continued throughout this current job. Luckily for me I've had lots of pet cuddles that have passed the time and will be heading home tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be fighting fit for the next place in a week's time 🤞

This evening's lapdog, he's such a handsome chap ;)

Lovely to be back in the Levski area, what a beautiful day here ;) xx

Continuing the week with more indulgence I made Tablet today, many years since I last indulged with this very Scottish delicacy, glad to say Paul is delighted ;)

09/05/2024

Made it home this week thanks to Lesley and Graham helping get me to the next train station. Little Toast had been AWOL for a couple of days but thankfully arrived home this morning and has slept for most of the day so far. To celebrate I made a ginger bread loaf with my first disaster of syrup making which became treacle ;) In hindsight I'm really glad it went wrong because I think this is my favourite cake these days, hurrah xx

Great walk this afternoon with my (borrowed) boys ;) xx

01/05/2024

Glad to be back with this bunch today. Trains were easy although the second journey felt like a sardine tin ha ha. Almost all came on the walk this afternoon and as usual Vinnie and Sam beat us back ;) xx

26/04/2024

Been busy today trying to sort out a makeshift fence using branches, logs and wood we had around the place to keep the Houdini dogs in. A work in progress but will get it finished before I head off this week to catch up with my dog and cat buddies, looking forward to seeing them all :)

18/04/2024

I think Toast has missed me ;) After joining our dog walk this morning she decided to find a space...any space on the seat ha ha xx

I've been expecting this for awhile but wanted to let all clients I get to by train a heads up! Sadly it will impact costs but I'm hoping not too dramatically! I'll contact everyone once I have a clearer idea on the costs. Feel free to contact me if you need to discuss :) https://www.facebook.com/share/p/nDpgBkhE49eEsVgH/
