We should all know the risks by now🌡
Please take care with your dogs. And, as always, I will take extra care of every dog I am lucky enough to spend these sunny days with 🌞
● Walks will be shorter, earlier, or changed to garden visits where necessary 🐾 (plenty of enrichment)
● I will always walk in shaded areas, preferably with a stream 🌳
● My car is like a fridge inside (the perks of having an air-conditioning engineer to hand) 🧊
● I am literally obsessed with making sure the dogs are comfortable and happy 🐶
● I always have plenty of water to hand 💧
Enjoy this weather and keep your furry friends cool 🌞🐾
