Happy Friday morning! And thank goodness it's Friday - I'm very glad it's nearly over 🫣

Our last 6am stomp of the week (Doodlebells' Jasmine didn't want to be in the photo, so here's a compromise 😆), we had lots of happy campers up bright and early for their walk.

I'll be thankful to not set that 4:45am alarm again tomorrow 🤪 But a big thank you to those who've switched and swapped times this week 🙌🏻

I've got a few available slots available next week if anybody wants any extras to make up from this week:

- Monday lunchtime & afternoon
- Tuesday lunchtime
- Wednesday lunchtime & afternoon
- Friday lunchtime

The early bird catches the worm 🪱

Or in a dog walkers case....

The early bird avoids being scorched by the sun!

Another 6am stomp with Doodlebells this morning, and Squid even managed to sit still for her first group photo 🤩

It's certainly heating up now and at 7am it was already 23c... so please, keep your dogs cool and don't take them out in the sun today.

Keep cool everybody 😎

Lexie and Luna are showing their utter disappointment in the weather this week! I feel the same 🤣 I'd much rather see some sun, but I think we're a few months off 🌞

Remember to leave some towels out this week and a coat if they've got one! 🐶🌧

| The law on dogs and livestock has changed. ⚖️👩‍⚖️

From March 2026, tougher penalties and new police powers are in force to protect farm animals and support rural communities.

It will now be an offence if a dog:

• Attacks livestock
• Chases, stalks or frightens livestock
• Causes stress, injury, death, miscarriage or loss of produce
• A dog does NOT need to touch an animal for an offence to occur.

The law covers a wide range of livestock, including:

• Sheep 🐑
• Cattle (cows, bulls, calves) 🐄
• Goats 🐐
• Pigs 🐖
• Horses 🐎
• Poultry (chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese) 🦃
• Alpacas and llamas 🦙

These protections apply on farmland and on public footpaths or roads where livestock are present.

Under the updated law, police can now:

• Seize dogs involved in livestock worrying
• Enter premises with a warrant
• Take DNA and other evidence
• Recover costs from offenders
• Courts can issue unlimited fines.

As a dog owner, you need to:

• Keep dogs under close control near livestock
• Use a lead in fields with animals
• Public rights of way are included
• Remember, it's your dog. Your responsibility.

Its been a chaotic few months with broken vehicles and terrible weather, but I think we're finally back in the swing of things! 😁🐶

I have about 4 months worth of pictures of your wonderful dogs to upload! 🤣
