It is with a very heavy heart that I have to say goodbye to Happy Tails and all my beautiful clients 😔💔 Thank you all so much for your endless support and love. I will miss all my pups and their owners very dearly, and I am incredibly grateful for all of the beautiful memories and moments I have had while operating Happy Tails ❤️🐾 Due to my study load, and the work that is required to get to where I want to go, this was the decision I very sadly had to make. I am off to follow my dreams and focus on my long term career goals 🐨👩🏼‍⚕️🐍 I will miss you all so much, and I’ll be popping into this Instagram account to keep in touch and to keep up to date with everyone’s antics 🙉🙊❤️

I have collated a list of dog walkers / pet services that I can recommend my clients to with confidence:

One on one walks:




Group dog walks:




Mad Paws (madpaws.com.au) is also an excellent website where individuals who offer pet care services, including dog minding, walking, check ins, etc, list themselves. The website offers great transparency, where you can view the individuals profile and access reviews, photos and a lot of other important information. Personally, I would have a lot of confidence choosing a trusted individual from Mad Paws ☺️

🥵HOT AND WET WEATHER WARNING ⛈
We're expected to receive a mix of humidity and storms this week, take a moment today to check in on your pet, their surroundings, safety and emergency plans.

Keep up to date with weather warnings in your area on the Bureau of Meteorology website: www.bom.gov.au

ENSURE YOUR PET HAS IDENTIFICATION
If your pet becomes lost in a storm, having appropriate ID can help them be reunited safely. Is your pet microchipped and has a collar with ID?

🐱 Contact your local Council

TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR PETS ARE SAFE
🏡 Create a safe and secure space for all of your animals
🐶 Don’t tether pets if outside - they may do themselves more harm trying to break free.
🐶 Provide access to water and food in heavy bowls if outdoors.
🐱 Keep your cats indoors.
📝 Take time to prepare a plan for you and your pet if you need to evacuate
🍃 Ensure objects in your yard are tied down.

For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to animals, particularly dogs. I have a very deeply instilled love and passion for all animals, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life and are a big part of what makes me me. Since starting Happy Tails in May 2021, I’ve continued to grow even fonder of dogs and I feel so lucky to have met so many beautiful and unique pups who have made every day so special. I’ve noticed a shift in the way I view life, and I suppose this change is a part of who I’ve always been, however thanks to Happy Tails, I believe these dogs are responsible for bringing these thoughts and feelings to light, and giving me the strength and inspiration to actually apply them.
So I thought I would share with you ten important life lessons I’ve personally learnt from dogs….

TEN LIFE LESSONS I HAVE LEARNT FROM DOGS:
1. Live in the moment
2. Always smile at strangers
3. Cherish those you love
4. It’s the inside that counts - a dog will never care what clothes you wear or about that pimple on your chin
5. Spend time outdoors, it is good for the soul
6. It’s the little things that count
7. Be loyal
8. Your self worth is measured by kindness and how you treat others
9. Spread love, warmth and happiness everywhere you go
10. Be yourself, and accept yourself

Thank you to Josie, Archie, Teddy the Cavalier, Teddy the Boston Terrier, Billy, Apollo, Jasper, Ollie the Border Collie, Ollie the Groodle, Ellie, Harvey, Tuck, Helga, Cooper, Zeus, Tim, Lacey, Vinnie, Snoopy, Ned, Ruby and Gracie for your inspiration and incidental wisdom. As well as all those dogs who I’ve never met, but feel like I’ve gotten to know through Instagram posts and chatting to your beautiful owners.
