I cannot believe we are already almost 3 months into the new year.
It's been a long time since I have made a post🙈 and this is a long one. Catching you all up with what's been happening 'behind the scenes'.

I am still here, taking and working on orders 😁 even though I havent been overally active on social media.

I completed my course last year. I don't think I have told anyone or even mentioned what it was called 🙈. I'll do a post about this soon to tell you more!

The passing of my stepdad last year hit me hard, he was my sounding board, costing and pricing person for everything Snuffling Tazz related. It was his birthday last week as well. I am having to slowly figure these things out without him ( thank you Antonette for helping me a time or 2 when I needed guidance).

I started a part time job in January. Thankfully, I mainly work from home but it's been an adjustment for me and the dogs. Atleast Tazz hasn't minded walking at 6am when I am on the early shift. Abby on the other hand doesn't always join as she decides it's too cold for her and would prefer to stay in bed 😅.

It's been a long 11 months with Tazz's health and many vet visits ( she is so not a fan of the vet 😅). Keeping in mind she will be 14 at the end of this year. She has had elevated Liver enzymes so blood checks every few months, then food issues and her developing gastritis again. The cherry on the cake was she also developed atopic dermatitis after the gastritis in Dec and she had to get the cytopoint injection. The cytopoint injection was not something I agreed to lightly and had a long conversation with our vet before it was given. Thankfully she had no side effects and she had relief from her constantly itching skin.
As of Monday the 26th, we are ECSTATIC to say her liver enzymes are back within normal range, her blood work is great and she still hasn't had a need to scratch. She does however have some pain in her wrists in addition to her other pain issues (which we manage with gabapentin), but will be monitoring the wrist pain and offering additional pain meds. Our vet has suggested the Librella injections but that is a last resort.

That's it from me for now 😊!!!

A few weeks ago we made a 50cm x 50cm snuffle mat for Sophia, the springer spaniel.

Sophia has some issues with her one front leg caused during her birth. Her physiotherapist recommended that Sophia use a snuffle mat to encourage her to use her paws to try help strenghten it.

Isn't she just a gorgeous little pup.

Order sent to a special border collie named Shadow.

With the days becoming warmer, and walks becoming more difficult due to the heat; why not do some indoor enrichment with our various products 😉.

Where has this week gone 🤭.

Happy Friday all.

Order sent to . Don't forget to pop in at the stall this weekend at to get your paws on a snuffle mat and ball.

05/09/2023

Order sent to a beagle and his new staffie sister.

The pastel shades are still one of my favorites.

Do you have a favorite colour combo snuffle mat?

25/08/2023

I am back home and back working on orders.

The last few weeks have been hard on my family as we lost a very important person to us all. It has also taught me that one can never truly have all one's ducks in a row for the family that is left behind. Make sure your loved ones know your passwords for everything, where all your important documents are etc.

My dogs have been champs through this time with the traveling and being left alone for long hours. Their routines have been non-existent but we are getting back to normal with them.

There is a slight delay on orders as I catch up.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

26/07/2023

Hi all,

There will unfortunately be a delay in communications.

I am dealing with a family emergency.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Last week Saturday I held my first online puzzle class. There was lots to talk about and videos to view.
It was great fun.

This was the feedback from one of the class participants 🧡.

01/06/2023

asked if I could make a snuffle in a bowl for her service dog Blue.

And I did 😁.

What do you think
Should I add this to the catalogue 🤔?

The time is here 😊

Hersenwerk originates from the Netherlands and translates to Brainwork.

- you and your dog working together as a team,
- taking everyday items and making puzzles out of them that are tailor made to suit your dog,
- the communication between you and your dog.

Do you want to:
- learn how to tailor make puzzles that suit your dog,
- improve the bond between you and your dog,
- learn about your dog through puzzles,
-learn how to use everyday items to make puzzles,
- learn how to offer your dog calming activities through puzzles.

Lickimat slomo

Lickimats are a great form of mental enrichment. They are perfect for those hot summer days and can be given frozen or those cold winter days and given unfrozen/fresh. Lickimat has a number of designs in their range as well as it being brachycephalic friendly. Lickimats are loved by both dogs and cats.

Abby and Tazz loving their new lick mats from @cinnamonstoybox. I love how these mats have different depths and different sections, the deeper sections can be used as part of a slow feeder as well. Best of all - they are dishwasher safe. Lick mats are also perfect for raw feeders. Here I used @hillspetfoodsa gastrointestinal biome pellets, together with home made bone broth. Doing this ensures I can use part of their daily portions and I don't have to worry too much about adjusting their portions as I would if using other goodies. #lickymatsforpups #enrichment #happydogs #enrichingseniordogs #enrichmentfordogs #hillspetnutrition #dogenrichmenttoys #dogsofinstagram #dogsofgeorge #mentalenrichmentfordogs #mentalhealthfordogsmatterstoo #jackrussellcross #daxiemix #seniordog #seniordogenrichment #dogmomsofsouthafrica #dogsofsouthafrica #dogsofgeorge #dogsofcapetown

DIY activity for Abby's supper. This enrichment activity consists of a pair of old pants, lots of rolled up material and a few objects within. #diycanineenrichment #snuffling #snufflingdog #canineenrichment #dogmomsofsouthafrica #dogsofsouthafrica #mentalenrichmentfordogs #mentalhealthfordogsmatterstoo #boredombustersfordogs #boredombusters #dogsofgeorge #dogs #happydogs

The puzzle cube is a great enrichment puzzle. Each side has an activity to fill with treats and let your dog seek. They come in 4 sizes. Make treat time fun. Bijou is showing us how enriching the cube can be. #puzzlecube #frenchiesofinstagram #frenchiesofsouthafrica #brainwork #braingames #canineenrichment #dogsofinstagram #dogsnosebest #dogsofjohannesburg #dogsofpretoria #dogsofcapetown #dogsofsouthafrica #enrichingdogslives #supportlocalbusiness #handmadedogpuzzle #handmade #lovedogs #dogs #puppies #southafricandogs #southafricanpets

The difference between Tazz and Abby re unrolling. In this situation both are good at pulling the material. Note we have practiced pulling and lifting materials /objects many times prior to this video. Some dogs don't need much help as they figure things out very quickly and others need a proper introduction and practice, however it is always best to introduce and practice regardless of the dogs level to ensure frustration is avoided. Abby is still in the learning and practicing stages, sometimes she is able to unroll perfectly and other times not so much; but I am always there to help her before she becomes frustrated. #ditchthefoodbowl #diycanineenrichment #mentalenrichmentfordogs #brainworkfordogs #braingames #snuffling #stressreliever #beattheboredom #bondingtime #canineenrichment #mentalenrichment #dogsofgeorge #dogmomsofsouthafrica #dogmomsofsa #dogsofcapetown #dogsofjohannesburg #dogpuzzle #dogs #rescuedogs #capedaschundrescue #seniordog #snacktime #lovedogs

Snuffling into the weekend. Snuffle mats are a great introduction to enrichment as they are an easy enrichment activity. Snuffle mats are designed for dogs to sniff and forage for treats or food in-between the pieces of material. It's a great way to slow down speedy eaters, can help with anxiety /stress, ideal for dogs that are on limited physical activity due to injury or age, and can help towards weightloss. Snuffling releases 'happy' hormones which in turn has a calming effect. Don't forget to get your snuffling in this weekend 🐾

#throwbackthursday Tazz learning how to unroll a towel a few years ago. This one is a great DIY activity, and a towel is a very versatile tool for diy enrichment activities. Today she is a pro😉 #diymentalenstimulation #diycanineenrichment #canineenrichment #throwback #throwbackthursday #learningdog #mentalenrichmentfordogs #brainwork #braingames #dogs #happydog #workingforfooddog #workforfood #lekkeringeorge #dogsofjohannesburg #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogsofinstagram #lovedogs #jackrussellcross #learningnewthings #dogsofsouthafrica #southafricanpets
