Monty “Monts” April 2012 - 16th June 2025

I’m sure lots of you met Monty over the years, maybe you didn’t know his name, but he was the Golden always with Annie, as every Easter & Christmas he would be the one lying peacefully in the back of the car as Annie would be serving the teas & coffees at our charity parties.

So we were all heartbroken yesterday when Annie bravely told us that Monts had become unwell and fell asleep peacefully.

Monty was the kindest boy, the one that made us giggle with his antics at Hoopers and the one that made Annie despair in the best way! He went from slow to fast in 2 seconds and we would all cheer as he hurtled towards the last hoop leaving Annie way behind!

In April Monty had his 13th birthday surrounded by the “golden” Monday 11am Hoopers class when he retired officially from attending. He knew who had the best chicken, sausage or cheese and quite frankly he was the favourite with every dog that attended not to mention all his “aunties” and uncle Mick and Dusty.

On a personal note, my Wellie adored Monty, so I hugged my boy my little bit tighter last night and told him all about his Golden friend who we will all miss so much.

Annie, we are sending you and Bob so much love, thank you for your friendship your time and letting each of my dogs adore your boy.

Rest in peace Monts, we all loved you so much xx

Friday was glorious! Two Hoopers workshops with a wonderful array of dogs and owners taught by Carrie-Anne from Canine hoopers world.

This was the first workshop, which was so much fun. I also joined with my youngster Potter and we had the most enjoyable 90 minutes learning and laughing!

Mothers Day or Mothering Sunday are for dog mums too!

Dog mums.. although you probably didn’t know it when you first brought your bundle of fluff or your rescue dog home that life is going to throw you some wonderful moments but equally some challenges, some for life.

If you are the “mum” of a dog that is reactive, worried, scared, poorly, elderly, grass eating, mud wallowing, squirrel chasing, poo eating, guarding, general loony etc… and the list goes on and on then well done, well done for being a great dog mum who is probably juggling work, kids and everything that goes with every day life.
Not to mention the mud, the hair and general chaos (probably just my lot😁) the endless towels that need washing and the hoover that’s clogged with all manner of hair, saliva and stuff, and definitely not forgetting the smell of wet dog on those rainy days! 😋😩

Stand back and look at how much you have given your dog(s) and kiss their beautiful silky heads because I know if dogs could buy flowers or chocs for you, they would.
