Soggy walks today but managed to miss the worst of the rain. It didn’t stop the afternoon crew enjoying themselves tho. Cary
What a beautiful day it was today, made my job 100 times better as I swear i’m developing trench foot after the months of rain! I had a larger pack out than normal today but these 8 fantastic dogs are all so well behaved, friendly and biddable that it was an easy, relaxed and fun walk, I absolutely loved it and as you can see, so did the dogs. Cary ❤️
Trying to retrace my footsteps coming out from the impassable part of the woods, trying to remember which of the old paths I was following - never have had a very good sense of direction!
Welcoming Roger the Sprocker to our Banchory walks. He hit it off brilliantly with Bee 🐝 and they didn’t stop playing for the whole walk! Bee just loves to be chased and Roger was more than happy to oblige.They were very wet, muddy, happy and tired by home time! Cary ❤️
You might get this post twice but not sure where the first one went! So glad that following her kidney removal op,Bee is back to full health for Skye’s last week with APC. They are great friends and this stalk and chase and drag race goes on for their whole walk together. Skye’s owners, the Heggie family, were 1 of my first 2 clients when I started as a professional dog walker 15 years ago, at that time I walked their Beagle Cailidh who you may remember passed away a few months ago 😢. The Heggies moved away from Banchory today and I’d like to wish them all the luck in the world and thank them for their support and friendship over the last 15 years, I shall miss them so much. Love and luck in your new home guys, from all the Ace Pet Carers old and new and thank you to you and your wonderful dogs, Cailidh and Skye.
I waved a sad farewell to the Heggie family today and their lovely pooch Skye, seen here with my Bee. I am so pleased that following her operation to remove her Kidney, Bee is back on top form for her final week with Skye, I think they will really miss each other. My relationship with the Heggie’s goes back 15 year to when I first started dog walking, their Beagle Cailidh was 1 of my 2 first dogs in Banchory, they have been such supportive friends to me over the years and I am so sorry to say goodbye. Wishing them all the luck in the world in their new home, with loads of love from all of us Ace Pet Carers old and new. Cary ❤️
Amos isn’t always the sharpest pin in the sewing box and when he emerged from the woods the silly tattie only looked right for me instead of left and must have thought we had all gone on without him and took off like the devil was chasing him! A sharp whistle and he realised his mistake and came bombing back looking hugely relieved and much to Cadey’s delight. She reminded me of a mother who lost, then found her child, a sharp reprimand then cover him in kisses 🥰 Cary
And on this walk we’ve got Bee again but this time she is racing with Cora and Skye 💕
This quick clip caught Nash and Eddie but Cadie, Amos, Willow and Tess were there too.
And another of Bee, Scout and Luna with Dougal just chillin’
#Beesbestlife🐝 I had Loads of walks today but only got my camera out a few times.
#Beesbestlife more fun and games today, this time with Cora and Skye, it was like this the whole way there and back. She had already done the same with Tess, Willow, Bonnie and Minnie now she’s sleeping like a log. Nothing makes me happier than seeing dogs loving life like this. Cary💕
Bonnie fixates on Bee, Minnie fixates on Bonnie and Bee just runs about like “run run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me im the gingerbread man!” #Beesbestlife🐝
Cool wet towels and ice licks all ready to go into the van compartments to cool hot dogs today and keep them comfortable travelling to and from their walks.
The saddest news came tonight that beautiful, gentle, comical and kind Maya, the Bouvier de Flanders, crossed the rainbow bridge today after a very short illness. She will leave a massive hole in our Banchory pack, not just because of her physical size but because her character matched it, gigantic! Always loath to get out her bed at walk time, and believe me it took every trick in the book to shift her! She would sit in the van with any other dog, she never complained, she would just scoosh up and let them in. She got on with every dog on the walks and was always up for a game of chase but best of all she was as cuddly as she looked and there’s never been a better dog for flinging your arms around for a cuddle, she was always up for a hug. My thoughts tonight are with Mayas family, Hazels words to me were “ she was a ray of sunshine in our lives” and I think that describes her perfectly. Sleep well sweet Maya, you have been loved by many. Cary 💕🌈💔☀️
She had to work for it but today Bee 🐝 eventually won over Bonnie and Minnie and they all started to play together, even little Frodo joined in. Happy days 😃 Cary🥰
As windy as it was, it was still hot work getting up the steep hill today so the dogs were glad of the muddy watering hole at the top. Cora, Bee, Martha and Dougal all got on so well so it was a nice relaxed walk. 🥰
So my pup Bee 🐝 met Nash today, been a bit wary introducing them as she was so little and he’s … well, Nash! As it was I didn’t need to worry, he was lovely with her and promptly taught her every naughty trick in the book 😂! Don’t know who ended up muddier, them or me! If you’re wondering what I’m mumbling about towards the end it’s because Nash likes to pick up sticks by the end (he wants other dogs to hang in to it too) but it just gives me the fear that he’s going to stab himself!
Spanners! Millie and Mabel where brilliant with Bee 🐝 today 💕
I’m going to have to have eyes in the back of my head as the Bee/Millie friendship blossoms, I think Millie can’t wait to lead her astray 😂 Cary
