Warm one today 😅

Poppy had a splashing time at Wistow! She just wanted to play in the water which was fine by me 😂 she invented her own version of the doggy paddle which was interesting to watch 🤣

Ruby had a much more relaxing walk along the canal 😌 so peaceful and a perfect location for our lovely Ruby 🥰

Bert, Murphy & Ruby had a great time at the park! Bert & Murphy did a bit of synchronised swimming whilst Ruby was on a squirrel hunt 🏊🏽🐿️ Murphy made an interesting discovery 👀 he found a toy car 😂🚗 he was very proud of his find and carried it round everywhere until it saddle sank in the water and he wasn’t brave enough to put his head under to get it 🥲

A much drier and less stormy Wednesday compared to last week 😮‍💨😅

Still a few spits and spots (as Papa Tails would say 😂) for Lily’s walk, but she didn’t let that stop her sniffari 🙌🏼

Effy, Etta, Toby, Scout and Ruby had a great time at the nature reserve! Some paddling in the stream, sniffs around the woods and some meerkat impressions from Etta in the long grass 😂

Ritchie was joined by Bobbin which he was absolutely thrilled about 🥰 the pair spent more time in water than on land 😂 Bobbin was even snorkelling 🤣 Ritchie showed Bobbin his favourite activity - rolling in the grass 🌾 she just watched him with a very confused look on her face 😆

Bert & Murphy were reunited after Murphy’s holiday 🥳 the boys definitely made up for lost time as they zoomed around together for the entire walk pretty much 😅 Murphy also showed us his inner womble by collecting litter on the way round the park 😂

Another catch up post as the cloud stole my photos 🫠😂☁️

I had a wonderful week with Max & Lola last week ☺️ we shared soooo many cuddles, they made me feel very loved 🥰 Max was super playful and brought me a variety of different toys to play with each day, most of which belonged to his little human brother 😅 Lola had me in stitches with her antics 😂 such a funny girl forever winding her brother up and producing the funniest facial expressions 🤣

Thankyou so much to their parents for trusting me with Max & Lola again! Can’t wait for the next one 🥳

What a lovely Tuesday we have had ☺️

Effy and her friend had a fabulous time at the park! A little paddle in every part of the brook they could get to and bounding across the fields together 🤗

Etta demonstrated her swimming skills for the first time and it’s one of the cutest things I’ve ever witnessed 🥹

Buddy & Maisie were pleased to be back this week! A trip to the nature reserve was definitely a good choice - Maisie loved charging around in the water and Buddy was in sniffy heaven, particularly in the woods 🌳

Murphy, Ruby and our lovely lab also enjoyed their trip to the park! It was quite warm by this point so we stuck to the shady paths and water spots. The ice cream van caught my eye from across the field and I couldn’t resist 🙈🍦 but to make it fair, I got an ice cream for the doggies to share too (with their owners permission!) It’s safe to say it went down a treat 😂😋

Catch up time 😅

A fabulous Friday with Audrey, Barry, Georgie, Paul, Dave, Holly, Toby, Effy, Ruby and our lovely lab ☺️

And a slightly different Monday with a solo for Lily and then the rest of my Monday dogs buddied up in the afternoon 🤗 Koko, Bella, Bert and Ruby had a lovely time together in the fields 🥰

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend! A little personal announcement from me and when better to share it than on my birthday 🤗

I’m so excited (and slightly terrified!) to share that I’ll be running the 2027 London Marathon for LOROS 💛

You know when you sign up for something because you genuinely believe you won’t get selected? Well, that was my plan… but the universe clearly had other ideas! 🙈😅

Many of you know me as the person who spends her days out walking your wonderful dogs, but this challenge is something very personal to me. Last year, LOROS played a huge part in my family’s life, supporting both my Nana and my Uncle. My Uncle wouldn’t be here today without them, and for that me and my family will always be eternally grateful.

LOROS provides incredible care, compassion, and support to patients and their families during some of life’s most difficult moments. Seeing the difference they made to my own family inspired me to take on this challenge, and I’m incredibly proud to have been chosen to run for them.

If I’m honest, running 26.2 miles feels completely overwhelming! I only started running last year, and back then it was a challenge just to run in public. Taking on the London Marathon is far beyond anything I’ve ever done before, both physically and mentally. But whenever training gets tough, I’ll be thinking about the patients, families, and staff at LOROS and the amazing work they do every day.

As part of my charity place, I’ll be fundraising for LOROS throughout the next year (fundraising link below). If you’ve enjoyed following your pet’s adventures with me and would like to support my marathon journey, any donation, share, encouragement, or even a few words of motivation would mean so much.

I know many of your animals already keep me fit, but if any of you happen to have marathon training tips too, I’m all ears! 😂🏃🏼‍♀️🐕

Thank you for all your continued support, both with my business and now with this exciting (and slightly scary!) challenge. I can’t wait to share the journey with you all!

Help Lauren Rowlinson raise money to support LOROS, the Leicestershire and Rutland Hospice

It’s now day 723 of rain 🫠😂 if someone could communicate with the world that it is infact June and whilst we needed some rain, some dry weather would be nice now, that would be great 🤗

It is a well known fact that Cybi does not like the rain 😂 she actually seemed pretty happy when we first set off, but it didn’t take long for her frowny face to come out 🤣 on the plus side, we didn’t see a single person or dog so we were able to have a lovely relaxing stroll in our own little world 😌

Poppy also wasn’t too enthusiastic about walking in the rain, which is very unlike her 😅 she was using a variety of things as an umbrella, including some leaves 😂 and she took up residence in the birdwatching hut leaving me to stand out in the rain 🤣

Bert & Ruby didn’t mind the rain at all though 🥳 both were running around all over the place as per usual and again, we had the park all to ourselves 😌

Wishing my pride and joy, Nosa, a very happy 6th birthday 🥹💜 I’ve had Nosa since a foal so to think she’s now 6 years old is absolutely wild 🙈

She pretty much has every penny that I earn each month, so I’m very grateful to you all for supporting my little business so that I can live out my childhood dream with my girly 🙏🏼💕

Well…today was a bit of a washout wasn’t it 🙈😅 was not expecting 1 storm nevermind 2 storms 🤣

This mornings group was the most perfectly timed walk to ever happen! Effy, Minnie, Etta, Toby & Ruby had a fabulous time at the nature reserve (despite all of their faces (except Effy’s) saying the opposite 😂) we managed our full walk and managed to get dried off and back in the van just in time for storm 1 to hit 😬

Ritchie was the luckiest with the weather as it had all blown over by the time I picked him up! We had the park to ourselves and the sun came out - perfect 🤩 he still managed to get soaking wet by rolling around in the very wet grass 😂

Poor Bert drew the short straw 🙈 the second storm started when we arrived at the park and it didn’t take long for the heavens to well and truly open and we both got drenched 😬 Bert thought it was fantastic though and was running round “singing” in the rain with his squeaky ball 🤣

Lily definitely caught up on the missed sniffs from yesterday! Nose to the floor the whole walk 😂

Effy & her friend enjoyed a trip to the park 🤗 they founds lots of sniffs in the woods and Effy of course had a paddle in the brook 😊

Etta was full of beans on her walk! We went to Wistow where she had great fun bouncing through the grass and even went for a paddle which is something she wouldn’t usually do on her own! She did get very muddy though 🙈😂

Ruby joined our lovely lab today 😊 the girls had a wonderful time at the nature reserve 🌳 lots of sniffs to explore and our lab was keen to show Ruby her favourite part of the stream to run up and down 😂
