Today we say goodbye to our group grandad, who is hanging up his walking shoes to enjoy his retirement, with cozy days at home & comfy beds.

Marley has been a regular on our walks for the last two years & brought lots of fun & the occasional mischief..but always got away with it, with that cheeky face..🥰

He will be missed by us all, but we are happy to have had him with us for lots of lovely walks..😊🐕💛🖤

Thank you v much for the offers of help; not to worry though..Kim will live to work another day..😄🤓

*LIR temp staff wanted* to help out two sorry souls..😵‍💫😜

My lovely wife has tried to help another roaming dog yesterday & got bit. A tiny dog, with tiny teeth, but still plenty of damage done, with the bite now infected.

So hence the slight delay in pick ups today, & she is off to hospital later..(once she has finished the social walk of course).

Will she ever learn? 🫣 Who knows. Bite gloves are being ordered!

Watch this space..I wonder what the third thing will be..🎲🎲🎲

The dog profession is no joke! Btw does anyone want to take over the reins for a few days?..😅🐕💛🖤

Would anyone like to rehome this ‘It’s a dogs life’ pic. In ‘as new’ condition so would do as a present etc..

Guys, I’m having to take next week off I’m afraid.
The antibiotics didn’t really do much, so I’m on more & stronger, with the threat of being admitted if there is no improvement soon.

Kim will also be doing reduced days until Wednesday. Maybe Thursday.
It has been one of our busiest week/ends to date & unfortunately I was unable to do anything, so she also needs a bit of a quieter few days.

All our dog & cat sitting bookings are going ahead, but there will be changes to the social walks & very limited solo walks / home visits, but I will message you all directly when I have worked out a plan.

I have to admit defeat & watch my health…& Kim’s…after all, we want to be doing what we love for many years to come yet. I’m sure you all understand..🤓😊

So more of this is in order..👇🏻 Sofa..tv..ice cream..(closely monitored by Dixon)..🐕💛🖤
