Where is the summer going??
We're having a great one with some really fabulous dogs to care for and some super weather for lovely Lake District Weddings!

Here's our round up of our July weddings and dapper dogs :

🐶🐶 It was a super hot day for fab friends Ruby and Rogan but the beautiful Lancrigg has some stunning mature trees for resting in the shade and Ruby and Rogan did a great job walking down the aisle before the bride! What a lovely weekend we had with them😍

🐶🐶🐶We had such a great day caring for these beautiful Sussex Spaniels too - Hestia, Eric and Kalli; they were just amazing settling down in the church for the ceremony!
We enjoyed a trek up into the beautiful fells for some photos before returning to the gorgeous New House Farm for some snoozing into the evening ❤️

🐶🐶🐶Then another terrific trio - meet Frankie, Alfie and Angus. Don't they look totally dapper posing in front of the stunning Merewood Country House Hotel ?
This was another sunny, hot day - Frank aced the job of ring-bearer and all three energetic terriers were totally chilled throughout proceedings - superstars! ⭐️

🐶🐶Last but not least, super spaniels Millie and Henry! Millie is the bride and groom's dog and was such a good girl heading to the idyllic Inn on the Lake to pose for some photos, Nigel was so impressed with her 😇
Meanwhile Henry played and snoozed with Tamsin before they were reunited for an afternoon Sniffari and overnight stay.
These lovely siblings were an absolute delight to care for 🥰

What a month it was - and August is proving to be the same, with both fab dogs and stunning weather for summer weddings ☀️ can't wait to share more with you soon...

What a couple of 100% Dapper Dogs to finish off our June weddings.....

🐶Nevis - what a sweet boy, you really stole our hearts and you were so chilled greeting guests and posing for photos at the beautiful New House Farm ❤️

🐶Zeus - you're such a stunner, inside and out! ❤️
It was lovely to have you to stay and we had fun taking you for photos at the gorgeous Town Head Estate - you did amazing!

Congratulations to your lovely pawrents and it was so lovely to round of our June weddings with your lovelies 🙏🥂

When two of your dogs from your dog walking business (Ambleside Dog Walker) fall in love - and you also run a wedding dog care business.....

Can you believe the wedding of Bonny and Oscar was a year ago today?! 🐶❤️🐶

This fun event was such a lovely collaboration with Cote How Lake District Weddings who hosted the special occasion and took care of every tiny detail, as they always do, so beautifully. It became the official launch for their Paws and Promises Wedding Package.

We were also so honoured to have involvement from some outstanding local suppliers who gave their time and expertise to make this day everything it should be for two top dogs:

Tiree Dawson Photography - for giving us such stunning lasting memories of this special day, it's always such a pleasure to work with you!

Brackens of Bowness - don't Bonny and Poppy look so gorgeous in their floral garland and corsage? Especially made for us by this amazing local florist.

Sir Woofchester's - who else could provide such a luscious wedding breakfast for our bride and groom?

Oscar was supported on the day by Best Dog, Buster, and Bonny's Dog of Honour was Poppy - they were all absolute superstars on the day and had lots of fun with plenty of love, attention and delicious food!

Bonny and Oscar are doing great and enjoying married life - and we're wishing them an amazing first anniversary! 🥰

What a stunner - meet Bodhi! ❤️

Bodhi really was looking 100% dapper dog for his big moment as ringbearer after we picked him up from his groomers in the morning and dressed him in his suit!

It was super exciting for this gorgeous pupster to see all his favourite people at the wedding and when the time came it was a little overwhelming but Nigel was on hand to carry him down the aisle so he could perform his duties for his mum and dad - needless to say he stole the show and everyone's hearts⭐️

It was so lovely to care for him for the day, and to attend our first wedding at the beautiful Holesfoot too!

Congratulations guys, and so pleased the weather behaved for the occasion! 🥂

June is shaping up to be a super month for weddings and we've been caring for these gorgeous dogs so far this month :

🐶Jake - what a lovely gentle soul, it was fabulous to spend the day with him and take him along to Cote How Lake District Weddings for a beautiful elopement

🐶Dudley - this super senior was such a dapper dog, posing for photos like a pro when we took him along to Town Head Estate to see his mum and dad on their special day and then snoozing the day away peacefully back at our's

🐶Luna - what a bundle of fun to care for - this little cuddle monster was full of love and affection and it was great to take her along for our first wedding at Lancrigg where she did so well and behaved impeccably!

🐶🐶Penny and Frank - what superstars, these guys had to contend with ever changing weather and took it all in their stride! They stole the show walking down the aisle, sat calmly throughout the ceremony at Broadoaks Country House and waited patiently for the rain to ease before posing beautifully for photos

We've so enjoyed being part of each of these weddings, congratulations to all the lovely couples, and thanks to each of the stunning venues for having us and to the amazing photographers we've had the pleasure of working with.

We're looking forward to a few more weddings coming up before the end of the month and so expect updates soon! ❤️

What a lot of lovely weddings in May - great month to get married!

It was so lovely to care for :
🐶Arya, the sweetest black Lab, and to es**rt her to Cote How Lake District Weddings to take part in photos

🐶Kenny and Billy, the cutest Miniature Schnauzers, who were good as gold attending their pawrents' ceremony and posing for photos at Low Hall The Lakes

🐶Wilson, the most chilled out Welsh Terrier you've ever met, who stole the show posing for photos at his pawrents' special day at Inn on the Lake

🐶Maple - this lovely Golden Retriever smashed it out of the park running down the aisle and delivering the ring to her guardians at Storrs Hall and before mingling with guests

and last but by no means least,
🐶Super Spaniels Oscar and Jasper - these total Dapper Dogs posed beautifully for photos at Yew Tree Farm

It was great to get to know every one of these dogs and to be trusted to care for them, and bring them along to such special events.

Congratulations to all the amazing couples 🥂
And thank you to all the fabulous venues we've visited and awesome suppliers we've worked with in the last month, some we knew well already, others we met for the first time and it was great to work with you all.

Bring on the summer! ☀️🐶

It was our last April wedding at the weekend and this one was very special, as we were caring for the dogs of a fellow local dog care professional and someone we've known for a few years.

We were honoured to care for Blisco and Paddy, to take them on a couple of our favourite trails and - most importantly - to es**rt them to their guardians' wedding at the beautiful Merewood Country House Hotel.

These two spend so much time with their dad working alongside him but they coped so well being away from him for the night and were absolute superstars at the wedding meeting guests and posing for photographs beautifully - and just generally taking it all in their stride! ❤️

So lovely to play a small part in this special day and we wish the newlyweds all the very best for the future! 🥂

The second of our weddings to share from this month so far was at the one of our absolute favourite places - Cote How - for an elopement.

We always love playing a role in intimate weddings and were thrilled to be caring for this amazing boy, Forrest, for the day!

We started, after an early pick up, with a great little local trail - an early walk helps dogs in our care to settle into their day and have fun, exploring new environments and taking in all the smells (while we take in the views!)

After a rest and spruce up, Forrest was ready for us to take him along to Cote How to see his family and take part in some photos - and have a swim in the beautiful Rydal Water close by!

An afternoon Sniffari and time for some food and a snooze before returning to his family meant that Forrest had a fabulous day - as did we caring for him ❤️

We've enjoyed a couple of beautiful weddings so far this month.

The first one to share is caring for this lovely, happy boy Joey earlier in the month and es**rting him to his guardians' wedding at the stunning Gilpin Lake House.

He was super greeting guests and posing for photos - he looked every inch the dapper dog, the sun was shining and it was just gorgeous!

As Joey also stayed over with us a couple of nights, we had plenty of opportunity to take him on some of our favourite trails too, which he loved.

What better day than Valentine's Day to share pics of the very adorable Toby from our first wedding of the year last Saturday - lovely to be back at the stunning Askham Hall!

As you can see, Toby was every inch the Dapper Dog, posing beautifully for photos at his guardian's special day, and we absolutely loved having him to stay and sharing some adventures with him ❤️ - he was such a pleasure to care for and what a way to kick off our year of weddings!

Sending lots of love to all our engaged couples this Valentine's Day 😍
