Leo - The Legend!

Leo - The Legend!

Leo - The Legend
OMG …. What a legend this chappie is!
When mum and dad enquired as to whether we could look after their boy Leo while they visited grandchildren in New Zealand, I had some initial reservations about a dog staying for such an extended period. However, after a very easy trial night all those concerns melted away and as Claire and Tony booked up his stay nine months in advance, it gave me lots of time to match other compatible guests during his holiday. Despite being advised he was of slightly nervous disposition he has been a real superstar during his stay and fitted in with the plan so easily . I do sometimes wonder what our doggie guests must think with the ‘changing of the guards’
One companion would leave, and then a few days later, Leo would be running around and sharing the sofa with another new member of his pack.
Going for a walk for Leo mainly meant the opportunity to chase a squirrel, or three. (Those in our garden have now breathed a sigh of relief on his departure!)
And coming in from an adventure meant the opportunity for two more of his favourite things .. a treat from the cupboard and settling down on the sofa with at least one admirer to be fully employed lavishing affection in the way of a full body massage or a tickle behind his ears. And while you are at it please put another log on the fire and , make it hot, hot, hot! Yes our Leo adores his comforts, a cushion for his head and his special blanket, lovingly knitted by his mum. “If you wrap me up in it I’ll show you my best E.T impersonation “
He’s seen others come and go in his seven weeks stay with us , and now that ‘E.T’ has gone home himself, he has definitely left a massive hole here at Ivy Cottage.
Thank you SO much Leo for the joy and laughter you’ve given us over the last month, Christmas just wouldn’t have been half as joyous without you. But we’ll see you again very soon to show mum and dad where some of these lovely walks are!
Ps Leo would like to send a

Active Ozzy.
My goodness does he love his walks ..but, don’t make the mistake of heading towards his lead if you are not ready to go out at that precise moment! In fact , don’t even dare to walk passed his lead or mention a walk if it’s not going to be happening immediately as he’s not patient with dawdles and will shout out for you to hurry up and get a move on!
He bonded immediately with Leo, a fellow cockerpoo who Ozzy had met on his look see with us. It’s been lovely to see them trotting along ,shoulder to shoulder, in front of us on the walks. Like a pair of synchronised horses in training to draw a chariot . They’ve clearly enjoyed each others company, although I think Ozzy would have prefered it if Leo hadn’t been quite SO distracted by squirrel hunting when he wanted to play chase! Ozzy has loved the early morning frost and especially the snow in the last days and he’ll tell you there’s nothing more fun than rolling in the white stuff and getting snow flakes stuck on your nose! Ozzy we’ve loved all the cuddles and hope we can share those again at a future stay x

Little Lola the sock monster !
Aww , I can’t tell you how lovely Christmas has been being able to share our home with two gorgeous cockerpoos, little Lola being one of them. When Tracy contacted me about a stay over Christmas I’d already got the lovely Leo booked in and having had Leo overnight a couple of times, knew that he too could be a little nervous in certain situations. So when Lola came for her first visit with her mum we arranged to borrow Leo, and from the first meeting , you could tell that all would be fine and a good Christmas would be had by all!
The timid little Lola who arrived grew with confidence as each day passed and rather than skirting round Leo as she had done at the start , she began to sit with him on the sofa and chose to et in the back of the car with him as we headed out on our walks. In the last few days she has thought it was fun to run up behind him and bat his fluffy tail with her paw! Cheeky girl would certainly not have done that a week ago!
This little girl likes her comforts - cushions (or more particularly putting her head on a pillow), socks (i used to chase her round as she thought stealing mine was great fun) , her ball - which she could play with 24/7 , and , DEFINITELY turkey and gravy which she had from Christmas Eve through to 28 th December . So mum, if you find she’s turning her nose up tonight if it just biscuits , now you know why! Thank you Lola for all the laughs and cuddles that you’ve brought for Christmas .
Hope to see you again soon x

Hopefully this will post 2 nd time round!! May have been too many photos first time!!
A big shout out to all our clients at this festive time of year.
Thank you so much for supporting us in this first year of business. 2025 has blessed us with the privilege of caring for some sensational doggies. We have treasured every moment getting to know both owners and fur babies and all their little quirks ( that’s owners as well as doggies 😉!)
Thank you for entrusting us with your 4 legged family members, we have loved every minute of their holidays with us and the hardest part has been giving our guests back!!
So here are some of the little cuties who have enriched our lives this year. We look forward to getting to spend more time with you in 2026.
Wishing you all a very happy festive season ….and some lovely ( hopefully dry ) doggie walks .xx

Blue and Ernie- it’s all about the ears!
Look at the ears on these 2 characters!
Blue is the owner of the super long, ‘sticky bud collecting’ ears, and Ernie’s ears resemble pig tails!
Both of the ‘Latham kids’ are Spanish rescue dogs . Ernie’s been with Bex for a good while now but Blue was rescued earlier this year after a long period in kennels so she’s pretty new to all things related to living in a home.
Since her initial stay with us back in April it’s nice to see that she’s put on a few kilos - a credit to her mum as to how she’s managed that. I have my challenges with Blue and getting her to eat as she gets distracted ( I think she suffers from FOMO with our garden! ) coupled with a bit of reflux bless her. So getting medication in to help with all that is fun especially as Blue’s super smart at knowing all the tricks at hiding tablets! Perseverance was the name of the game with both of them and Ernie thought it was highly entertaining to see how many attempts it would take Auntie Moo to get medication down his throat with a tablet dispenser. ( oh how easy mum makes it look!) What a fun game he thought for Auntie Moo to keep picking up his tablets as he craftily spat them back out! “You’re useless at this Auntie Moo “ he exclaimed! “ .. Ohhh, melted cheese … yessss please! “ All was sorted… cheeky boy!
Ernie liked to announce his arrival on ‘garden patrol’ to the bullocks in the back field, and, once he’d communicated the terms of the arrangement quite clearly to them, he would relax and set out his stall for a spot of sun bathing. Blue on the other hand .. well the garden was her nivarna with so many scents and she was out for hours clocking up her daily steps following squirrel and bird trails up and down . Garden obsessed to the point that every evening the last wee wee had to be conducted on an extension lead otherwise we’d have been still chasing her round in the dark when mum came over to collect them both!

Honey bunny
It was Honeys first holiday at Auntie Moos. We’d got to know her on a couple of recent play days but I couldn’t have believed how well this lovely girl adapted to being with us . I understand that she wasn’t used to being away from home , ( or in a car for that matter as mum Kim isn’t a driver) so for Honey, all our outings were very exciting and a totally new adventure and learning opportunity .. being in the car, the woods, along the shores of the lakes ,having the breeze in her ears at the top of The Cloud.
Her confidence grew with each outing and she clearly enjoyed the freedom of being on an extendable and whizzing around like a mad one . Surprisingly, she didn’t “take anyone out”, and only wrapped us round one or two trees, but she also did brilliantly on her lead walking, which we later found, could normally be a bit of a challenge.
Paul still has 2 arms the same length and hasn’t started dragging his knuckles along the ground , so we will take that as a great success! Previously we hadn’t taken Honey out of the garden as mum Kim had insinuated that we may end up with a dislocated shoulder… 😳.
In the mornings we were woken to Peter Rabbit ( her favourite toy ) being thrust at us by a very wiggly girl who was ready to play, and that same waggy tail acted as a welcome cooling fan on those hot summer days, wagging excitedly in a circular motion like a helicopter propellor, to the extent that if she wasn’t careful she may have taken off!
And after her walks Honey loved a snuggle on the sofa and I particularly loved stroking her tummy which was so silky and as soft as a pair of kid gloves . This little girl is just a softie, so affectionate and eager to dish out kisses to everyone that she meets.
So it was a sad day when this adorable doggie went home and took part of our hearts along with her.
You’re welcome back any time Honey x

Cuddle monster cockers
Well what can I say … weve had another visit from lovely Luna and her pseudo sister Ziggy the golden cocker spaniel.
For Luna it was her fourth visit and she was one of my first clients after setting up my boarding business last year. Luna
was also the first spaniel we had the wonderful pleasure of being around full time, and she is the reason why we love spaniels so much!
Well Luna certainly knows how to work a room , and if she feels she needs to get even more attention , she will raid the laundry basket and parade round with your un**es ! She completely stole Paul’s heart from the start, and after a week with her we always wonder if we could
a) hide behind the sofa and not answer the door ?
or
b) do a runner , move house and take her with us?
So the hardest part of having Luna to stay is the day we have to give her back to Alex!
And last week we had a double spaniel delight as Ziggy joined us for her first holiday. Ziggy is owned by Alex’s sister Katy so I wasn’t quite sure whether it had been Luna telling Ziggy all about her previous fun at Auntie Moos , or whether Alex may have had a hand in that? Anyway, Ziggy arrived with Luna, and it’s official, she’s an even bigger cuddle monster which we thought was impossible… She was hilarious .. every time we sneezed (hayfever will do that) Ziggy immediately jumped up onto our knee, leaned in with her body and put her head and a paw on our shoulder in what can only be described as a right proper cuddle !
But it was the morning routine of being greeted by a completely waggly, from tip of nose to end of tail, furry hurricane who excitedly presented us with her squeaky heart toy that completely melted ours, even if on her first night that was at 4.30 in the morning!
