Does anyone know a gardener who can do some weeding and pruning for me please? Would be a big job to start then every couple of weeks to keep on top of them.
Thanks in advance

Well they say it comes in threes!!! 🙄
Kinni came to me in 2012, (14 years ago), she came from travellers and was heavily pregnant. Ten days later she had 6 pups. Kinni was only a pup herself and she found it hard, but did a great job!
Kinni was scared of a lot of things when she arrived and it took her a long time to gain trust with people she didn’t know. She loved being down in the kennels with me and meeting and greeting all the dogs coming and going.
She was a very special dog and was my behaviourist and trainer. She knew how to bring dogs out of themselves or any that where getting a bit ‘too much’ she would put them in their place.
Kinni could escape through the tiniest of gaps and jump some heights but it was always to be with me. When our greyhound Eddie was paralysed she was so good with him, she would lie down with him interact with him in a gentle way. When he started to recover she would try and encourage him to get up and walk and later on they would run and play in the garden but again she was always gentle with him.
There’s too much to say about her on here, but she had a good and happy life!
I will never find another dog like kinni, and she will be missed so much!
I am heartbroken 💔
Run free at the bridge kinni 🌈 ❤️🐾
