Dog Sitting and Dog Biscuits by Laura

07/08/2025

Even on a (very rare) day off/out to Ham House, I still managed to cuddle & treat 3 dogs in the grounds and only took 1 photo of a dog painting in the house.

The grounds and cafe at this National Trust property are dog friendly (on lead).

Lots of zooming and paddling on the last day of the dogsit. What lovely bunch of dogs we met as well. Two did a self service raid on my treat pouch while I was bent down cuddling another dog, and were very pleased with themselves 😂

So many gorgeous hound friends on today's sighthound social walk ❤️ and made some new hound friends too. Always helps to say hi with some homemade dog biccies though 😂

Lovely walk this morning, ticked all the houndy boxes....

✔️ Sniffing
✔️ Paddling
✔️ Zoomies

Practiced recall as well as his fursis is fairly new but very treat oriented so all good. Met some friendly dogs too.

So many blackberries everywhere, all I can think of now is making a crumble.

Reviewing Business & Car insurance quotes, boring but important! 🐾

Last night I performed successful surgery on 3 toys. This morning I'm doing a dog toy laundry load. I have a very unimpressed Labrador 💔🐾

Did you know today is National Dog Photography Day? The brain child of Kerry at Fur & Fables I went to the very first event with client Freddie (when was that 2019?)

Well sadly my new rugged phone takes crap photos, here's the best of a bad bunch!

I rarely like photos of myself, entirely my own fault for being overweight, but being photographed from above with 3 dogs and a large walking bag in front of me is quite flattering 😂

Lovely evening social dog walk and paddle with friends ♥️

First walk on this sit earlier before the rain with this very good girl who I've cared for her whole 6 years. She's beautifully trained, very loving and currently trying to tell me it's 4 minutes until her dinnertime.

Can't recommend these enough!

Presented by Solicitor Trevor Cooper, this 3 1/2 hours seminar is a wide-ranging mix of legal issues that are important for dog owners to be aware of.

Oh and since it was Buy One Get One Half Price at Boots UK on first aid supplies, I also decided to review my home human first aid kit. Needless to say it was in much worse shape than my dog one 😱

Between administering first aid to a friend's dog out on a walk and dressing a poorly paw for my client twice daily, it was time to review both my walking bag & car first aid kits. I checked for items I'm running out of, things that had expired or with damaged packaging (so no longer sterile) as well as cleaning the bag and box.

Just in case anyone still thinks dogsitting is just cuddling dogs and watching telly!!
