My Sadie took her last breath in my arms last night ๐Ÿ’”๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿชฝ
Honestly heartbroken isnโ€™t the word - Sadie was such a constant figure in my life, she lived 4.5 years above her breeds life expectancy, she was biologically rare (1 in 10,000!) as she was intersex, not common - most keepers wonโ€™t ever see one, sheโ€™s my special girl

She was there for all my major life events, finishing high school, going to collage, completing my apprenticeships, my first job, starting a business, getting married, welcoming my daughter, Sadie and my flock is always who I celebrate with first ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿชฝ

Sadie was the top hen of the flock, keeping everyone in line and safe, her personality was massive and she was the sweetes girl and my god was she strong, i nursed her back from the brink of death 3 times but this time her little heart couldnโ€™t go on any longer ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ฅ
She really was a fighter ๐Ÿ“

She raised 3 beautiful chicks, kept the order in the flock, Granny Sue was how she was known ๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŒˆ

Iโ€™m completely devastated. I really struggle with loosing them, they are all so important to me but thank god i decided to go out to the flock when I did, itโ€™s almost like she waited for meโ€ฆ it was quick and sudden, walking about just minutes before, I picked her up for our usual cuddle and brought her inside when I noticed she wasnโ€™t right, she declined in minutes and then passed in my arms, thank god I went out when I did I canโ€™t bare the thought of her being scared ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’—

Sadie will be up there with paytah, Vander, Morgan and Tigris, Kleo, kiara, Megan and Jaffa and Hazel. Itโ€™s never gets easier and itโ€™s the only down side to loving so many animals, when they go it hits so hard ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿชฝ

Thank you Sadie ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’—

A little business update from me ๐Ÿ’›

Since having Islay, Iโ€™ve spent a lot of time thinking about how I want to balance work and family life whilst sheโ€™s still so tiny. After a lot of back and forth (and quite a few emotional moments), Iโ€™ve decided that for now Iโ€™ll be stepping away from regular dog walking services.

This honestly hasnโ€™t been an easy decision at all. Anyone who knows me knows how much I absolutely adore the dogs I walk and how attached I get to them all ๐Ÿฅน Theyโ€™ve been such a huge part of my life and routine for years, so this decision has come with a lot of guilt and emotion.

For the time being, Iโ€™ll be focusing more on the parts of my business that allow me a little more flexibility around timings whilst Islay is still little. Iโ€™ll still very much be offering:
๐Ÿ‘ Livestock care
๐Ÿด Equine care & horse sitting
๐Ÿ“ Poultry services
๐Ÿพ Pet visits & pet sitting
When I come back from maternity leave

Iโ€™ll also still do my best to help with the occasional/ad hoc dog walk where I can.

I really hope to return to regular dog walking again in the future when the timing feels right, but right now I just need a little more time at home with my girl โค๏ธ

Thank you all so much for the support, patience and kindness youโ€™ve shown me it truly means more than I can say.๐Ÿ’—
