A sad goodbye to Remus and Rayne today 😢, they are moving away to begin a new chapter with their owner Shauna, who has been my longest standing client. Shauna was my very first client in Alford and I walked her dogs Bryn and Izzie for many years until they passed away. She then got the absolutely delightful Remus and Rayne and I’ve had the privilege of walking them since they were pups. Gillian and I will miss their wonderful welcome and million kisses when you’re trying to do up their harnesses. Wishing them both a wonderful, happy life in their new house and thank you Shauna for the trust and loyalty you have given me over the past 16 years. Cary ❤️❤️

This is my daughter Libby’s cat, please keep an eye out for him. Any news good or bad is better than not knowing. thank you, Cary 💔

My Cat Goose has been missing for almost 10 days now. Anyone in the Ballogie/Finzean area please keep an eye out. Also check any sheds and barns please.
He is quite distinctive. White and grey tabby with a big bushy tail.
He’s microchipped and neutered.
Thank you.

We’ve been told tonight about a couple of local dogs that have sadly passed away after eating mushrooms. Apparently the most likely suspect is the Fly Agaric, a red capped fungus. So please, if you see any, don’t let your dog anywhere near it and if you suspect your dog might have eaten any then get to the vet asap taking a sample of the fungus if at all possible. We will, of course, be as vigilant as possible when out with your dogs. Cary

Although not quite coat and gloves weather yet, it was definitely a fleece and a hat kinda day up on the Cushnie hills.

Slowly introducing our Banchory newbies, Lottie and Mac to what will become their regular afternoon pack. They were with the beautiful Clova and my own dog Bee 🐝 today and will be joined by Bramble and Bonnie tomorrow too. Mac the Westie is so easy going and even joined in a game of chase today, Lottie the retriever pup is still finding her courage, she’s very brave as long as no dog actually comes toward her, then she just flings herself in her back 😂. I’m sure there will be no stopping her soon. Cary

This has been such a sad week for me as I’ve been saying a week long goodbye to my longest standing Alford dog, the beautiful, gentle, funny and sweet Martha. As I fed Martha some special treats I’d taken for her earlier this week, I watched as her back legs slowly buckled and give way beneath her and I knew Martha had come to the end of her road and her family were absolutely making the best decision they could for their beautiful girl. We had just been doing home visits recently and that usually meant having to gently wake her up from a deep sleep, she took a moment to come round then her eyes would lock on yours, her whole face would relax with pleasure and her famously wagging tail would get to work. Almost all, bar our very newest clients will have seen pictures of their dog(s) cavorting with Martha at some point over the years, she literally got on with every single dog she met and I know all my own dogs over the years have loved her, which meant she often came to stay with me which added to my affection for her and bond with her. A lot of you will have known her from walks in Haughton Park with her people, Cameron and Sonya, who love her so much and have always been so very proud of her, I can’t imagine how they will be feeling tonight, she meant so, so much to them. Every one of the Ace team over the years grew to love Martha, to know her was to love her, you couldn’t not! Gillian and I have both been in tears this week knowing it was our last with this precious girl. Go gently Martha, no more limping or pain for you, I hope you cross the rainbow bridge feeling the sun on your back, plenty of long grass to wander through and grab mouthfuls of, which always made me laugh, I hope there are streams for you to paddle in, you love the water and smell after smell after smell for you to track. If your heaven depends on the amount of love you have in your heart and the love given to you by others, then Martha’s heaven will be sparkling with gold.
And now our long goodbye has come to an end sweet Martha, sleep tight. Gillian and I would like to thanks Cameron and Sonya for allowing us to be part of Martha’s life and our heartfelt sorrow and love is with them tonight. Cary x

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 ❤️
