UPDATE: the lights appear to be gone now.

CLIENT INFO:

There are currently 4 way lights at the Lockerbie Road/Catherinefield Road roundabout.

Looks like road resurfacing, but no signs as to how long they are there for.

It can get pretty backed up, so you may need to leave earlier/come another way!

We've had a busy bank holiday weekend ☀️ - we spent Friday painting and sticking up plastic, Saturday refreshing our canine first aid certificates with Canine First Aid Workshops - UK - Rachel Bean RVN and some of our lovely clients, and then we were back in today to put everything back together (ish).

Back to work for a rest!

Poor Mr Hugo had less fun on Saturday but was a wonderful casualty 🐾

Birthday Boy Thor was in for a swim yesterday.

He was very obliging with the party hat, but did feel he deserved more biscuits!

👏👏👏👏👏

Huge thank you to Firebird Flyball Club for letting us have not only Brac and Teg for our adult team, but also Elise and Abbie for our WINNING YKC team, Mocktails! 🏆🐾

They’re truly a fantastic bunch who didn’t just help us get to Crufts, but also supported fellow Scots on their journey home when their van was stolen. Absolute heroes! ❤️

We’re so grateful for the support, teamwork, and friendship — it means the world.

Firebird have been supported by Dumfries Pet Rehab Centre on the lead up to Crufts!

CLIENT NOTICE ❄️

Please be aware that the ground has become quite slippery outside the centre.

We have put some salt down (watch dog feet!) but some parts are quite treacherous, so please take care - especially if you're here and it's dark!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

That's us done for another year. As ever, we would like to thank everyone for their continued support - it will never not be a delight to see your dogs and help keep them moving!

We're now closed until Monday 5th January, so any emails/voicemails will be replied to once we're back.

We hope you all have a lovely festive period and we shall see you in the new year (hopefully refreshed and raring to go...)

Mo, Fiona, Mabel and the Hairies 🎄

*P.S. Don't tell the dogs that the pool is empty!
