Muddy Paws, Chester WALKIES - From 10am - 4pm WEEKDAYS
NO OVERNIGHT BOARDING

I am a dog owner (and cat!) and understand how hard it can be for working families to own a dog.

A member of NarpsUK (National Association of Registered Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers)...and fully insured by Pet Business Insurance (Policy PBB0124103)...
For the Chester area...Muddy Paws takes dogs on walkies, dog days out and feeds cats/small pets The guilt of leaving them 'home alone' can put many people off dog ownership, but a caring dog walker can be the answer to any problems....as well as

protecting your sofa from a bored, frustrated pooch pal!! Muddy Paws can help with walkies plus furry friends on the local parks, canal towpaths and cycle-ways nearby....as well as our own Muddy Paws paddock in Great Barrow. We also visit forests and beaches when time allows. As a dog owner of a rescued (Dog's Trust) crossbreed Toffee from a small pup, I have hands on experience of dog ownership. The ways they have...early training, barking at the door knocking, chasing cats (or scared of cat's if it's Toffee!), sniffing dubious substances during walks and finding EVERY muddy puddle...these are all dog characteristics that I am well used to. I carry a doggy First Aid kit on all walks. Walks will be tailored to individual preferences. I am fully CRB checked (police records check). I hold liability insurance that will protect owners, the public and your dog during walkies. I am a member of NARPSUk (National Association of Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers) and abide by their approved Code of Practice. I am more than happy to feed cats and other small animals in the home over holidays. I have always found my own cats happier in the home during my own holidays and, as long as someone comes in to feed, clean litter trays, play and cuddle, your absence need not be too stressful for them, and other small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, fish (no cuddling though!) and hamsters.

Friday walkies & CatClub…

It was deceptively cold this morning…my poor little hobbit hands could barely open the icy metal gates at Woodfield Park…but me, Toffee and Freddy got on and had a chilly walk 🥶…gloves, scarf and hat were added for next walk though! 🧣

Totally stymied by a ‘police incident’ on Parkgate Road next…we ended up at a muddy Green Lane (which had NOT been the plan 😭)
We walked, we gawped at sheep, we on leaded when the postman van trundled past 🙄, we got muddy 😕 Mud Daddy 🚿, Cliff’s heater on high, several towels and a detour through Saughall later, we got home. Sorry for any lingering muddy bits 😫
We heard later that it was a bad and fatal smash near the Mollington Banastre hotel…just awful…horrible, horrible road that one 😞

By third walkies a squally, winter wind had set in…and it was definitely trying to rain on us 😭 So, only one thing to do…play ball 🎾 🤷🏼‍♀️…where an annoying Australian Collie decided to give Fern a run for her money and chase her 😂 “Aww…look they’re playing” said Oz Collie owner…but I knew Fern just wanted the other dog to go away 😂 We had the ‘how they love to herd’ chat…till me and Freddy managed to politely leg it the other way 😂…ball saved, Fern saved…it had to be treat time then 🥰

And, squally wind now a gale with driving rain…me and Ollie stayed inside and watched from the warm ☺️

Thursday walkies…

A dismal Thursday started at ‘the local’ - Dicksons Drive Park …where we also bumped into MrMP and Toffee 🤗…who had been watching the cricket apparently before MrMP went to work (alright for some ‘eh…although I would definitely not be watching cricket if I had a morning off 😂)

Trying to find somewhere ’concrete’y’ for next walk…it was hopeless 🙈
Even the concrete’y places were covered in wet, mushy leaf fall…we just went for it and hoped for the best 🙉…but even after a towel dry (and she HATES it) Daisy’s legs were a little brown 🙊

We opted for a Paddock run later…it’s wet…Paddock Puddle is forming…but at least the long grass does its ’paw clean’ thing like an 80’s car wash 😂 Ange ran around like a loon, while Chloe, Ellie and Wilson mooched…could use a few dry days now, but don’t think it’s likely 😅…Paddock Puddle will soon be a pond 💦

Walkies with Aunty Anne…

The Parking Goddess was favouring us today 😇.. there were spaces at The Countess Park AND the ticket machine was Out Of Order - result ! 😀

Daisy was off off as soon as the lead was off .. slightly huffily stopping at a distance of I told her too but always setting off when we got close

She rounded up a Border Collie, ‘talked at’ a Whippet and met her match in a little white fluffy dog who got her woods in first 😀

Meanwhile Amber took photo opps everytime I slowed down to look at signs

It was fairly clean and very social so a win win all round 🥰

Wednesday walkies…

A lovely morning started at a busy Hoole Park…where we were dive bombed by a Vizsla, and a little terrier in a puffa jacket 😂…but after a quick ‘chase me’ sesh…they retreated 🤣

Lots of ‘chase me’ too at the Paddock. Mostly Rosie and Freddie flying around after the ball…and there was a little Foo chasing Dave, and Sherlock chasing Bruce too 😆 Freddy with a ‘y’ and me just oversaw activities like H&S reps 👮…all was well ☺️

And to finish up a lovely Winter’s day 🌤️we visited Thackeray Park…Fern woofed at any other dog that had a ball when she didn’t 🤣, Foo sat on every bench (she thinks a treat follows…and it usually does 🙈)…and Freddy took his time…20 steps behind at all times 🤷🏼‍♀️…we must’ve been VERY embarrassing 😂

Tuesday walkies…

Lots of extra walkies to fit in today…so it was a ‘double Paddock’ day…and not many photos as, when we Paddock…we just Paddock 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ball chase, perimeter sniff, grass munch, toy kill, grass roll, mole hill walk thru 🙄, treat beg, bark at neighbours ✔️…we did ALL of the above ☺️

We managed a Hoole Park play date too…but didn’t manage many pics again 🙈 If you’ve ever tried using an iPhone with three dogs on leads all wanting to go different directions…you’ll understand why 🥴😂…will try harder tomorrow 😬

Monday walkies…

December arrived with a gloomy day…rain, clouds and lots of mud 🙈…when does Spring arrive again? 😬

But little Olive is with us for a couple of days…and she’s SO cute, it cheered us all up 😂

We went to the Paddock (as I don’t know Olive well yet…so felt safe there 🙃)…and she joined in with ball chase, getting legs wet and treat begging…she has some VERY good teachers for all 😆

Caldy Valley next…very soggy, we stuck to the paths for damage limitation 🙈…but tomorrow and Wednesday look better…although I think we’re basically going to be living up to our name from now till Spring…Muddy Paws it is!! 🐾

Friday walkies & CatClub…

A last visit to gorgeous Saffy & Saxan for this stint, and they were left happily awaiting Mum’s return ✈️☺️…am sure they are now snuggled up on the sofa with her as we speak 🥰

Then on to Parsons Lane…trying to keep beautifully newly groomed, freshly ‘bow’ed 🎀’ Freddy clean, I think we were successful?!! 🤩

Next, the sky went black!…and then the rain came down…lots of it! 😑 The plan had been The Gowy…but the mud game would have been strong there today, so we chickened out and decided on the Racecourse 🫤…but all I could think about was Daisy’s short, WHITE legs 🙈, so we chickened out again and ended up at the Paddock 😆…where the sun came out 😑 Literally, cannot win 🙄

Still sunny at the Countess Park later. We checked on the book exchange (nothing we wanted), and on ScaryFairy (still there terrifying kids 😆) and obvs did a traffic survey with Fern 🤷🏼‍♀️…all fine…she was satisfied that all cars were…erm…cars 😬…and then we went home for the weekend 🙌

Thursday walkies & CatClub…

Saffy and Saxan had their penultimate MP breakfast for this stint ☺️, before a ‘back to warm’ intensive sniff sesh up at Etna Park. Soggy, but not mushy yet…all good…AND they NEARLY posed in a straight line for a pic!…one day, we’ll get one 😆

Hoole Park was next stop…no one there at first 🙌…love it when that happens! Sure enough though, the ‘others’ came 🙄…we zigzag’d and manage to avoid most (although a poodle type thing was ‘Dave’d 🤷🏼‍♀️…think he quite enjoyed it though 😆)

Ellie had had her Christmas pixie cut 🤩…and was looking all gorgeous 🥰…nothing that a little grass roll didn’t put right 🙈…but a good snifter at Wealstone Lane before off for tea with S&S 🐱🐱

Wednesday walkies & CatClub…

Breakfast with the floofs first 🐱🐱…then on to a chilly Hoole Park for morning runaround…where we bumped into Marley who was out for a gentle morning stroll 🙈…and chaos ensued 😂 Excited Marley to see his mates, Toffee harassed MarleyMum for treats 🙈, Pedro tried to keep hold of the ball (impossible with both Frida AND Marley to fend off 😂)…Freddy and Dizzy weren’t sure which way to look 😅…but a happy crew and slightly frazzled hooman left the field in the end 😅

Paddock was next…clouding up, but we missed the rain 👍…we mostly chased balls…and Dave 😁

And perfect little Woodfield Park to end…only little if you’re NOT doing zig zags ball chasing…Fern got her steps in…until some banging noise 4 miles in the distance spooked her, and it was game over 😂…back to the van for safety 🤷🏼‍♀️…Freddy didn’t complain 😂

Tuesday walkies & CatClub…

Christmas market trip done ✔️…and, once again, many thanks to everyone for ‘letting me go’ 😂…I still don’t feel Christmassy yet though 🙈…The Grinch has nothing on me 😆

Saffy and Saxan were disappointed not to see Aunty Anne 🤷🏼‍♀️…but happy enough once breakfast was served.

Then, a woodland start…very lovely hazy sunshine peeking through the trees…the crew snuffled happily ☺️

Really lovely next for a couple of Hoole Park circuits 🔄 Lots of other doggos out too for some socialising (they had to be vetted by Daisy first tho 😆) and Rosie took the ball…and didn’t lose it 🙌

Over at the Paddock to end…we are just getting Angel & Chloe used to Ellie on neutral ground 😂 All going well…Ellie will be doing afternoons only for a bit while she awaits her new hooman bro or sis 👶, so we’re teaching her a little Romanian (Wilson & Foo already fluent!)…they were all ‘câine bun’s’ today 🥰

Saffy & Saxan were waiting for tea later…resigned to the fact it’s me again 😂…but a nice bowl of Gourmet cat food each seems to help 😹

MANY MANY THANKS to everyone that has been able to swap days or cancel for my ‘dates c**k up’ of my Xmas markets trip with my sister (I’m still blaming her for it 😂…I honestly thought it was booked for next weekend till last weekend, when panic stations first set in!)

DOUBLE thanks to Aunty Anne who stepped in to cover those that needed either food or walkies from Fri to today 🙏🏻…they love her more than me now 😂…it’s SO unfair 🤣

So…to confirm…I AM HERE next week, all week (despite what my Xmas dates note said 🙈)…Xmas markets done ✔️…business as usual now till actual Xmas!! 😅

Thursday walkies & CatClub…

Another freezing day…I kinda like it once I’ve acclimatised though…MUCH better than pouring rain! ⛄️

Saffy & Saxan agree…and went for their garden time (totally secure for white fluff balls)…before a visit to Westminster Park to meet a tonne of ‘other’ pooches enjoying the cold sun ☀️

A bit on the puddle’y side at Green Lane next…Mud Daddy was out for Daisy’s ‘near to the ground’ legs…and all 12 other paws needed a towel rubdown 🫤 Definitely signs of Winter being here…but they will be sun was lovely at least 🙌

Over at the Paddock…it was zoomies (or at least it was from our MP Rommie due Angel & Chloe ☺️) They love to get off lead, and make the most of it…me, Wilson, Ellie and Dizzy just watched in awe 🤣

Saffy & Saxan were waiting for me at teatime…and that’s me signing off for my long weekend!!! THANK YOU to everyone that has managed to swap/cancel due to dates mix-up (I am still blaming my sister!!)…and Aunty Anne has valiantly stepped up to cover everyone else 🙌…she is officially OUR HERO 🦸🏼‍♀️
