Happy birthday to Bruno ❤
Photos in reverse order again as I love it when a dog says 'yep, I'm done so I'm having a snooze.'
Bruno, originally from Romania, was delightful, very confident to explore from the word go and reminded of my Mr O, a very calm and methodical searcher. He came to visit as a birthday treat, and he certainly enjoyed his visit.
Thank you to his lovely mum for bringing him.

Molly ❤
I do love a Molly Dog visit! She is very keen to get in, explore, find treats, and then have a snooze on the sofa whilst me and her lovely mum continue chatting!
Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Rowan ❤
Photo overload as they are all just simply stunning! Thank you to Sarah for sending these over after she had a private visit with her special dog Rowan.

Sarah said of her visit: "That was absolutely fantastic!! Thank you so much for creating such a magical space. We do lots of freework and enrichment but this is something else!"

Thank you Sarah, I am so glad you and Rowan had a good time. ❤

If you have a dog who is worried by strangers you are more than welcome to visit The Secret Dog Garden for a private visit where it is just you and your dog, just let me know.

Mia ❤
I've had the privilege of seeing this beautiful young lady again. I love Mia, she is very special, and thankfully she remembered me and was just as excited to see me too! On my second pop in she even allowed me to put her harness on and venture out for a few minutes (literally), plus she was brave enough to investigate a random chair someone had left outside their house. Well done Mia x

This evening it was Mr Moussaka's turn for a sniff about in the cool of The Secret Dog Garden, whilst the wild child Baldrick had a treat search in the front garden.

(A year ago I gave Baldrick an egg box with a bit of bacon in it and he looked at me like 'what do I do with this?' He's got the hang of it now!)

When it's too hot to walk the dog ...
This morning Mr Moussaka and Baldrick enjoyed chewing on antlers smeared with liver paste, before having a nice long sleep. Later in the day Mr Moussaka had a shared enrichment experience in the shade of the front garden with his friend Daisy the cat, whilst Baldrick visited The Secret Dog Garden which was lovely and cool (the thermometer on the wall displaying 20 degrees).

Bodhie ❤
Photos are in reverse order of his visit as the best ones are of his happy face at the end!
It was great to see this super boy again, and he is looking good. He takes his mission very seriously, and has a good explore, and then when he is done he always comes and says thank you! You are a wonderful boy Bodhie and I always look forward to your visits with you and your lovely mum.
