Lovely new grooming room coplete with posh bath!

We have beem very busy with builders lately. I managed to get a loan from the bank & have had a new DOG KITCHEN & GROOMING ROOM  built. this means the spare bedroom can go back to not having dog hair everywhere & the plughole in bath not  clogged up.I can also get my original kitchen back & have a spare room downstairs to make into a study /Tv room.

Bailey Last Day Before Australia

We have been looking after one of our regular customers since just before Christmas. 

The Quarantine regulations changed just before his owners emigrated to Australia &  so Alison  asked us to look after Bailey &,make sure all his Blood Tests,Rabies Vaccinations, & all the other tests he would need, would be completed on time & correctly.,

This will ensure he would be able to enter & have the minimum stay in quarantine when he arrived.

It was a big responsibility but everything went smoothly & we saw Bailey off in his crate & emailed his owner to say he had set off.

She has told us he has arrived & has settled in his new kennels & is eating & all the staff are meking a big fuss of him .

I'm missing him already.

Ben Has Gone Home!

Ben-The retriever who enjoyed weecking the covers on his bed, has gone back to his owner Sue after being with us for 6 months.

 We took him home yesterrday & both dog & owner were delighted to be reunited.

Sue has been staying in Plymouth for 6 months & was unable to find rented accomadation that would let her have Ben so she asked us to look after him long term,however things did'nt work out as expected & Sue has now returned to Leeds & is now back with Ben -

Another Happy Ending.

Snowy Now Has A Lovely New Home.

Last month i had a phone call from Social sevices asking me to collect a dog for a gentleman who had been taken into hospital. I duly went to the address given & found a little Poodle/Bichon Frise hiding behind a settee. We have had  him in for 37 days & he settled in well,last week i heard from Snowys' owner asking me to rehome him as he did'nt feel able to look after him any more.

I contacted Dogs Trust & asked a couple of friends to let me know if they knew of anyone who may be able to give him a good home.

ILater in the day I recieved a phone call from a lady who had recently lost her small Llaso Apso who was 13 years old. She had had him since he was 6 weeks old & mow felt the house was empty withouut a dog. she did'n't want to look for a dog as she felt one would find her.I told her about Snowy & took him over to meet the family. They were totally besotted with him & judging by the photos he seems to have found the ideal home.
