Half term may be over… but the memories (and the empty pots 😋) say it all!

With the weather set to turn this week 🌧️ the paddling pools might be getting packed away soon….. but don’t worry, the fun never stops here whatever the forecast 🐾

Rain or shine, we’ve always got something to keep our guests happy 💛

Looks like we’ve got some very tiny new guests at the kennels 🐣💛

A little bird decided that outside one of our kennel blocks was the perfect place to build a nest… and now the babies have hatched! You can just see their tiny beaks popping up waiting for dinner 🥹

Don’t worry — we’re giving them plenty of space and keeping things nice and peaceful for our feathered visitors 🐦✨

☀️ Frozen treats for happy pups! 🍦🐾

When the sun’s out, we make sure our guests stay cool the best way we know how… frozen yoghurt all round! 😋

Safe to say it went down an absolute treat — lots of happy faces, waggy tails, and not a drop left behind! 😂

Keeping cool, staying hydrated, and enjoying a little luxury here at the kennels 💛🐶
