🐾✨ DOGSHILL PADDOCKS UPDATE ✨🐾
Right… gather round everyone because apparently the universe decided I needed to learn two things recently:
1️⃣ Patience
2️⃣ How much a hip complains after a “small procedure” last week 😅
Sadly, I can confirm I’ve mastered neither.
So… while we were all dramatically staring at May 20th like it was the final of Britain’s Got Talent 👀🐶✨… there have been a few delays in the process. Nothing bad — just the usual exciting world of paperwork, timelines, committee schedules and people using phrases like “moving through the appropriate channels” 😴📑
BUT… and this is the important bit…
Everything is still looking VERY positive for approval of the Dogshill Paddocks project 💚🐾
We’re now hopeful that our proposal will be submitted for committee decision by June 🤞🏼 and at the absolute latest July 15th.
So at the moment, patience is all that’s required…
Unfortunately, if you know me personally, you’ll know I possess the patience levels of a spaniel that’s just spotted a tennis ball launcher 😅
In fact, I’m currently operating with the exact same energy as the vibrating dogs in our group sessions:
👀
🐶💨
“IS IT HAPPENING?”
“WHAT ABOUT NOW?”
“NOW???”
“DID SOMEONE SAY GO?”
Every email notification has me attempting to sprint across the room like an overexcited Labrador hearing the biscuit tin open…
…which would be impressive IF my hip wasn’t still recovering from last week’s procedure 😭😂
So instead it’s less:
🏃🏼♂️💨
And more:
🧍🏼♂️➡️😬➡️🦿➡️🐌
Honestly, I’m one sudden notification away from needing one of those dog recovery cones for humans.
But genuinely — despite the delays — everything still feels incredibly encouraging and we’re still fully focused on creating:
🐾 Safe & secure dog fields
🐾 Spaces for dogs to run free and build confidence
🐾 Training areas for nervous, reactive & energetic dogs
🐾 Happy muddy dogs
🐾 Slightly less happy muddy owners
We honestly can’t thank everyone enough for the support, shares, messages and excitement around this project so far 💚
Please keep those fingers, paws, tails, lucky tennis balls and emotional support treats crossed for us 🤞🏼🎾🐶
The dream is still VERY much alive…
…it’s just currently jogging at the pace of my recovering hip 😅🐾 KxK9 Dog Services - Flintshire
