Happy national dog day! Dogs bring so much joy and for me, they’ve completely changed my life, leading me into a career I love and life I could never have imagined! 🥰 🐾

Lovely to have a good cuddle with beautiful Ella again recently 🐶🥰

We spent Ella’s home visit pottering about in the garden, which mainly involved having lots of fuss while her mum and dad were out for the afternoon 😊

Thank goodness those temps have dropped this week! 🥵

Although some summer sunshine is welcome, the extreme heatwaves have made it impossible to continue with regular walks for my lovely clients, so I'm grateful to have a break from the heat and even grateful for a little rain as forecast over the next few days!

Hope you’re enjoying a cooler week this week too!

Last week I had lots of fun with the canine crew and finished up with a weekend celebrating my birthday, including a trip to Emley Show! I’ve also been working behind the scenes planning some new services I’ll soon be adding, offering more flexibility for clients old and new. Keep your eyes peeled…

Thank you so much to everyone who's shown me love and support over the past few days, it really has meant a lot through such a painful time. I'm looking back through old photos today and it's reminded me of so many happy times together. Here are a few of my favourites that show just what a special dog she was.

From picking her up at 8 weeks from Dogs Trust, Nanook was a force of nature, quickly establishing herself as queen of the house. She was a wonderful canicross companion, running regularly with me and travelling all over the UK to attend events, but more than that she was my best friend. She also loved to share her singing with the world, especially when she went to House of Hound Hydrotherapy - initially for fitness and conditioning, then later as rehab for arthritis.

She was a resilient dog too, incredibly surviving through a GDV (bloat) and two bouts of cancer in more recent years, while dealing with other medical conditions that needed ongoing treatment. Sadly, after over 2 years in remission (a rarity), her lymphoma returned with a vengeance and complications arose that meant she declined very quickly over the past couple of weeks.

I'd like to specifically thank Alex and the team at My Caring Vet who took excellent care of us both in our last day together, as well as Giulia, Neil and all the team Cancer Care for Pets who gave us so more time than we ever really expected after her initial diagnosis.

And finally, not forgetting Auntie Julie aka Julie Young who has been like a second dog mum to Nanook in recent times.

Goodnight my girl, I miss you more than words can say, I hope we'll meet again someday x

Sadly I have had to say goodbye to my best friend this week and my heart has broken into a million pieces. I don’t have many words right now, just an ask for a little extra patience over the next few days as I mourn my girl. Thank you 💔

⭐️ BLUEBELL ⭐️ I’ve had the absolute pleasure of looking after Bluebell’s feline sisters during family holidays but this weekend it was Bluebell’s turn! We had a fabulous afternoon of walkies and cuddles, including meeting some lovely other dogs with their humans while we were out and about! Bluebell is a lovely girl and it’s been a privilege to care for her 🥰

So nice to have a little better weather for walkies this week! Special shout out to wee Bertie who is recovering from a minor injury and has been on shortened walks and home care this week - get well soon you little trooper 😘

It’s another week of high temps, but that’s only part of the picture - humidity is also a big factor and it’s going to be high for the rest of this week, getting up to 91% this Friday. Dogs can’t sweat in the same way humans do, so rely on panting as a major way of regulating their body temperature. The more humid the air, the harder it is for their breath to evaporate and draw heat from their body. That’s why I’m always checking the Metoffice forecasts and risk assessing every dog for whether walks are safe - keeping them healthy and happy is the top priority here at Actidog 🐶

And that’s a wrap for this year’s K9 Party in the Park! With well over 100 entries in the classes I judged it was a tough job, but I love it! Here’s to all the fab team at the RSPCA animal centre who work hard to make it happen, here’s to lots of funds raised to help with the Big ReFurb 👷🔨🐾

Good to get out again this week with my regular walking buddies plus a Saturday visit for the lovely Reeta! Looking forward to K9 Party in the Park tomorrow in Halifax then back to weather watch for next week to see how those rising temps may affect the diary - as usual I’ll be keeping in close contact with all clients on any changes ☀️☀️☀️

One benefit of one-to-one walks? Every walk is an opportunity for training practice! Recently Pippin’s mum and dad started whistle training for recall, so this week I’ve been helping reinforce and embed this training while on our walkies! Consistency is so important for successful training - that’s why I work using the same cues and techniques as owners, avoiding confusion for the dog and building positive relationships as we learn ❤️🐾

Thank you to all my lovely clients for your understanding this week on hot weather diary changes ☀️☀️☀️ It’s been a week of cancelled appointments and home visits where possible, but looking good for getting back to business with walkies from Monday!

I’ve always wanted to make a visit to the Harden Moss sheepdog trials and this year was the year I finally made it - it’s spellbinding to see working dogs doing the job they’ve been bred for and they all did so well out in the field working hard for their humans 🐾

Busy week hanging out with my lovely cat and dog friends! The temps are set to soar ever higher next week so there will be changes to scheduled walks and visits - I’ll be in touch with clients direct with plans for affected appointments. Remember to stay sun safe! ☀️

Gwen has been sporting a beautiful quiff this week, all her own styling from her escapades across the fields of the Colne Valley💨🌾 What do you think, could this be the latest hot style to hit the grooming tables of Huddersfield?
