Those local to us will have just experienced a crazy heavy downpour!

The beautiful outcome for us has been a double rainbow over our garden of serenity and memorial trees.

Hi all

We want to share that EE and BT are down for many people at the moment. We have had some calls come through completely fine but we know a couple of people have struggled to get through to us.

If you call us (+447910801484) and the line is silent, doesnt ring through or you can't leave a voicemail, please either call via whatsapp, or message us via facebook messenger (email is also ok but we dont check emails as frequently).

We have our phone linked to WiFi calling, to reduce the chance of calls not coming through, but this may still happen if networks are down.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend
Peter and Rachel

One of the largest networks in the UK confirms it is "addressing an issue" with its services.

Today we had a wonderful visit from The ME Project - Managing Emotions and Mental Well-being 🐾💚

After hearing about us via word of mouth, they very kindly reached out and asked if we would like a donation to our “Felix Box” to help families in need. They run fundraiser events to support charities and projects, and we are unbelievably grateful for the donation their kind supporters have raised.

Those of you who have been to us will have seen the "Felix Box".
Felix was a very special cat and integral to All Pets at Peace, we have kept Felix going and are very thankful for any donations given, big or small, so we can offer a little extra help to those who need it.

ME Project therapists offer pet loss counselling for adults & children as part of their counselling services. We have their leaflets in our family room and you can find more information on their page or website.

Getting support for the emotions and grief which can come with the loss of a pet is something we are very passionate about, the mental and physical toll grief can have can be huge. And accessing kind, understanding and personal support can help immensely.

Many workplaces and people don't understand how hard losing a beloved Pet can be. Pet loss and the grief which comes with it should be taken just as seriously as sensitively as the loss of a human in our opinion.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. We hope you dont need to see us, but if you do, you know where we are.

Here at All Pets at Peace we celebrate and love animals of all shapes and sizes
🐱🐶🐭🐹🐰🐔🐸🐑🐐🐍🐌🐝

Imagine our surprise seeing these lovely ladies in our garden today!

They aren't near the crematorium building, so dont be alarmed.

They are calm and focused on keeping their Queen safe while they find a new home.

It is swarm season at the moment, which usually occurs May - July. If you find a swarm dont be alarmed, keep pets and children away, and contact the beekeepers association.

They have some great advice on their website and a swarm collection map to help find a local keeper who can assist.

(Bees are one of Rachel's favourite animals)

Hello Everyone,

July is Disability Pride month, and here at All Pets at Peace we want to spread awareness.

We are a disability and neurodivergent inclusive and aware service.
Some examples of how we are inclusive and aware as part of our standard level of care:

we have an Easy Read version of our brochure should anyone need one

we have signs in our family room encouraging service users to play music or colour if that will help them

we have a ramp which can be provided should anyone in a wheelchair or powered chair need

we are more than happy to accommodate anyone's needs, whether that is turning the lights off in the family room, moving the table around for you, explaining price lists more thoroughly, or providing additional support.

If you have a question or additional need we are more than happy to help. Please wear your sunflower lanyard if you have one to signal to us you may need additional help.

A few things you may not know about us:

Rachel and Peter both have disabilities.
Rachel's disabilities impact her more severely on a daily basis, so you may see her on a mobility scooter or using a walking aid from time to time.

Becoming disabled can happen to anyone, at any time, and its important to us to spread the word about Disability Pride month and encourage everyone to be as inclusive and kind to people as possible. Not all disabilities are visible.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and as always, we hope we don't need to see you, but if you do need to see us you know where we are.

With the met office issuing a yellow health alert due to the heat - The alert will be in place from 9pm Thurs 12 June until 8am Sunday 15 June - we thought it would be good to share some information from the PDSA and cats protection about keeping your pets cool.

Key information:

Water, offer lots of cool water in numerous places in your house and outside

Provide shade

Keep pets indoors as much as possible

Have fans on and around the house so they have places where there is air circulation

Avoid exercise during the day, especially around the hottest times of day (midday to 5pm)

Keep an eye out for signs of heatstroke - lethargy, weakness, shaking, collapse

Use cooling mats or bandanas

If you have pale animals, put pet suncream on their nose and ears to help reduce risk of skin cancer

stay safe everyone!

This article popped up on my timeline today and it really resonated, so I wanted to share the resource.

We often speak to pet owners who come to us about their worries and feelings of guilt, feeling sad they didn't notice sooner something was wrong, or worried they made the choice too soon or too late.

It can be so difficult to know what to do, we have been there ourselves, and even as experienced pet owners we still struggled with feelings of sorry about not doing the "right thing" at the "right time".

We can safely say though, you are doing and did do your best, and your best is enough.

Losing a pet is a difficult time, so make sure you take time for yourself, do something which brings a smile to your face or comfort to your soul, and remind yourself of all the good times you had with your beloved animal.

Rachel

Hi everyone,

A quick update on how things are going here.

Rachel has unfortunately broken her wrist, so please send her good healing wishes. She will be taking some time to rest and recover.

In good news however, we are in the middle of training a new member of the team. Please welcome Tom, he has experience working in the human funeral industry and is of course an animal lover like us. He has a lovely Springer Spaniel called Joe (picture of him snoozing below).

Hope you all stay safe in the hot weather, stay hydrated and are able to keep your animal loved ones comfortable.

As always we hope we don't need to see you, but you know where we are if you need us.

Myself and Peter have become quite the bird watchers over the past month, it's nesting and fledgling season so it's been lovely seeing so many species of birds around

We've seen:
a pair of Moorhens and their chicks, they made a little nest in the centre of our pond
four grey partridges, they are a red list species so seeing them has been amazing
a pair of oyster catchers
chaffinchs
pied wagtails
robins
blue tit's
coal tit's
many blackbirds, jays and crows
and, our favourite resident bird, Robert the Pheasant

Robert on occasion will come for us to feed him some nuts

Hi All,

We have just found out that Wroot Road is closed for building works for the next few days.

If you are coming to see us over the next few days you will need to come to us via Epworth (if you use Google maps it is rerouting to accomodate presently).

There is a sign in Epworth on Carrside saying the road is closed, but ignore that one and come through that way.

Thanks
Peter and Rachel

We are now back up and running, sorry for the inconvenience.

Hope you are all enjoying the nice weather, we hope you don't need to see us but you know where we are if you do.

Thank you all for your support and understanding, hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Peter and Rachel
