Hey hope everyone is well. Apologies if this is a long read...

This last week has been a real rollercoaster. Firstly I need to let you all know that last Wednesday 30th July marked my 6 year anniversary ❤

The journey has been f*cking wild!! I made it though (just)! The challenges and sh*t that has been thrown at me relentlessly is something I hope to make into a book some day. Definitely going to need to change some names though 🤭🤭🤫🤫🙈🙈

I'm going to be super honest with you all now. I absolutely love with every part of my being what I do. It is so much more than a job to me. HHH is my baby and I would literally die for what I have created. It means so much more to me than many will ever know.

I literally eat, sleep and breathe my business. Yes totally my choice but I wholeheartedly believe that my passion and love for each and every patient is what truly sets me apart.

Currently with a relentless sequence of events beyond my control it has been hard to keep smiling. A lot of the events being equipment failures costing significant sums to replace or rectify.

The behind the scenes stuff is really ugly and gritty right now. I haven't a clue why so many obstacles are being thrown in my path... I trust in the universe though 🙏 There will be a reason why it is all happening at once.

Currently I'm just doing my level best to keep my head above water - mentally and physically. On that premise I'm currently sat outside having a little mental health break because frankly I just need air, to breathe and get myself together ready to come out fighting again tomorrow.

What I want to say most of all is a huge THANK YOU to each and every owner and patient. Past, present and future. Without you it's not a business! The clients who take time to check in on me some who's dogs I stopped treating years ago or who have long since gone.

Everyone of you makes the house in HHH my home. Thank you ❤️

Hey hope everyone is well. Been a little while but as usual we've been super busy in clinics with our usual clients and all the lovely new ones 😊

Some of you may or may not know that a few years ago I lost my lovely boy Grayson after a short but turbulent battle with a suspected autoimmune disease just after turning 7.

Anyway some conversations regarding him have come up in the last couple of days. Moreover last night I found myself reflecting and quite tearful thinking about my loss.

When he initially died I was so angry. I felt so upset because I felt his life had been stolen and taken away far too soon. What seismically shifted the process was when I was able to be grateful for every single second I had him in my life.

Having lost so many hydro dogs now and walked the path of grief with so many owners. If I was asked advice on how to cope with the grief and loss of a dog now. Focus on all the love, the good times and how lucky you've been to have known them...###x

Hope you're all well... despite all the bullsh*t and madness this is how I feel every day.

I'm so blessed to have 2 of the most beautiful and kind souls in Misty and Woody.

Every morning without fail I thank them and take about 15 minutes listening and watching them breathe.

It's maybe my own version of meditation 🧘‍♀️ it works. If your dog is getting older cherish every bloody moment because 1 day they won't be here anymore... xx

Hey lovely people I hope you're all managing to stay cool in the heat... I'm doing admin at home today.

The pups have barely moved. Curtains closed and the windows. We have the fan going and luckily it has remained a respectable temperature...

Nonetheless the hounds have decided other than wee and poo outings they ain't moving 🤭🤣 xx

Hey hope everyone is well. It's been a while we've been super busy in clinics but I need to post this...

Last week 1 of the most special HHH dogs crossed the rainbow bridge. Ollie was 1 of the most loving and brave dogs I've ever had the fortune to treat. Our journey started in January 2023 when he came for post op cruciate surgery rehabilitation...

We successfully rehabbed him and continued weekly hydro to help him with osteoarthritis. Sadly last year he developed intermittent left forelimb lameness. After assessing him in a physical therapy clinic I knew something might be very seriously wrong. So I referred him back to his vets where he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma.

After seeing Aura referral specialists it was decided to amputate his leg and start chemotherapy. Ollie bucked all the odds. He survived his treatment and we were able to help with hydro which was his happy place. Sadly we recently discovered his cancer had metastisized into his lungs...

Last week I had the honour to share the most special last dance and swim with Ollie. I didn't say goodbye I told him until next time...

Run free Ollie you were such an inspiration and part of my journey as a therapist and a person. Everyone should be more Ollie. You will be forever missed. Sleep tight ###x

In loving memory of Ollie 1.5.2012 - 14.6.2025

Hey hope everyone is well. I hope you will all join me in wishing our very special Ollie a Happy 13th birthday 🥰

Ollie started treatment back in January 2023 after having surgery for a cruciate rupture and general osteoarthritis. He absolutely loves swimming and balls.

Last year during a conversation with his hoomans it transpired he had been intermittently lame on his left forelimb. Upon examination it was clear to me that something was very wrong. He was illiciting significant pain signals and yelping when palpated... He was referred back to his vets for x-rays.

Sadly the x-rays showed Ollie had osteosarcoma. He was referred to Aura an oncolgy specialist. The decision was taken to amputate his leg and commence chemotherapy treatment.

Ollie has been a total superstar and defied all the odds completing his chemo and repeatedly having clear chest x-rays.

Words can't describe how happy we were to have him back at hydro once he'd been cleared by his vets. Very proud to be a part of Ollie's life and celebrating such an incredible milestone 🤗😍 xx

Today is World veterinary day... and this year's theme is "animal health takes a team"...

What better way to acknowledge this incredible theme that is so close to my heart than this...

Picture of our 2 incredible veterinary students and me yesterday on their last day on placement. Alice who is in her 3rd year is to the left and Josie 5th year to the right.

It's been a total honour and pleasure hosting them both. Wishing them both every success in their veterinary careers. Team work is dream work and I believe they both came away understanding we do far more than just swim dogs at HHH 🤗🥰 xx

Hey hope everyone is well. For those of you that know us you'll know getting a couple of retired racing greyhounds was the inspiration for my businesses...

I can't believe it was 8 years ago today that I picked up Misty and Grayson to bring them to their first ever home...

It's a bittersweet reflection because half of the gruesome twosome isn't here 😔

Misty and I have been through so many journeys along the way. I will be eternally grateful for everything she has taught me and how she has unfalteringly been by my side. I could never have imagined I would completely change my life like I have inspired by adopting 2 retired racing greyhounds 🤗

I owe everything to that fateful day. I'm a better person and have found inner peace and been rescued. I'm just grateful for every single day for my 12 years young Misty 🙏 ❤ xx

It's a late post but I hope some of you do see this and like and love it.

Our treatments are beyond the point of service. The relationships forged over the years last forever and are way deeper than many could ever know.

I'm so proud I'm still in contact with old clients whether their dogs have passed away or they now have new additions.

The name Hound House Hydro matters because the house means everything in what we do...

Our house will always be yours. Your dogs past, present or future's home.

That is our culture and ethos and while I've got breath in my body it's always what will be delivered. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for all your love, support and custom ❤

We never cookie cut. Every single treatment is bespoke to your dog. We love every single 1 like our own. No compromise ever. We can't and will never attempt to franchise what we do xx
