The Darling Buds of Fray

The Darling Buds of Fray The Darling Buds of Fray are now closed for Home Boarding and Daycare. We also love cats and horses and guinea pigs and allsorts so hoping your dog does too.

We are Mel, Gary and Collette and we love dogs and we want them to be happy whilst you are away on holiday or even just for a long day whilst you are out. We have a large fenced in garden and are surrounded by fields and country walks. Gemma is our own yellow labrador retriever and loves to play. She's very good with other dogs and the recent youngsters have kept her very active. Choo is the resident semi feral cat. RIP Wanda
RIP Ginger
RIP Marmite November 2017 :-( aged nearly 21
RIP Tabby

Another little girl has made her way to heaven to join the others that we have sadly lost.
What can I say about Nellie? She loved all the other doggies; they just didn’t all love her back!
She was bolshy, playful, stubborn but just so loveable with that funny little face.
Gemma, Eric, Minnie, Maisie, Roxy and others will welcome her ‘up there’ and the play will begin. Hope there’s a paddling pool.
RIP Nellie..

We need your help!!!
Are you popping to the shops in the coming days?
Our shelves are looking a little bare, especially in the cat department, and we would be truly grateful if you could pick up whatever you can to help and pop it in one of our collection points, details of which can be found here https://www.boomerangspetfoodbank.co.uk/drop-off-locations
Thank you so much for your support, it is very much appreciated.

A tribute to one of the sweetest little beagles you’d ever meet.
Our first ever client so many years ago.
Her owners said goodbye to her in April and it’s taken a while for me to be able to post this. She was one of the best, one of the cheekiest!
She’ll be up there now with Gemma, Eric and others watching down on us.
RIP little Minnie; you were loved by so many.

Thank you for sending photos of one of the little girlies we looked after. ❤️
