Ivy’s Daddy!



The dog in this photo is none other than my dog Ivy’s dad! (He is also my dog Holly’s brother!) The lady in the photo is Alyson Elwood who has been a tremendous help to me over the last 6 years – she owned both of my girls dad’s – Monte and Kristo (both wonderful, good natured, big, beautiful Champion dogs) Alyson has helped me with a number of things over the last few years (Holly not eating well, thank goodness for Arden Grange!) and she is just wonderful – I can’t thank her enough. If you are EVER thinking about welcoming a Vizsla into your home – THIS is the person to talk to!

Monte is no longer with us 🙁 , but we had a lovely walk up at Mugdock with Kristo (in the photo) and Dante – who is Ivy’s brother!
The gentleman in the photo is about to get an Autumn Glory Vizsla from a litter that Kristo has sired (lucky him – I’m only a little jealous) – I do hope that we can all have a lovely family walk again – it was really special.
Will it not be fantastic to have a family reunion again soon?! I can’t wait!!

A warm welcome to our newest member – Laurence


Today, the Wild Side Gang were joined by a new pack member – Laurence the Lab cross.

He was a little unsure about the van (no surprise there!) but once on the walk, I kept him on lead for less than 5 minutes as I was sure he was going to be fine, and I wasn’t disappointed.
He ran, jumped, and played with all the other dogs but particularly loved playing with Ghillie. Check out the youtube footage from today to see the pair of them in action – hilarious!
Laurence came instantly to me as soon as I called him, he is a super friendly boy with a beautiful nature and comes from a loving a caring home – my favourite breed of dog!
Welcome, Laurence. You and I are going to get on brilliantly!

Kellie

I have been walking Kellie for months now, and I never get tired of the way he greets me – tail wagging and so pleased to see me, and he cannot wait to get to get into the doggy van!

He is definitely one of my favourite boys! He gets on so well with every pack member, and I just LOVE Kellie.
He adores his walks (and when Kellie is there, me too!), and I never, ever worry about him wandering or not getting on with other pack members – he is the most well adjusted, beautiful boy you could meet.
Isn’t he just gorgeous?

A warm welcome to our newest member – Archie!

Today the Wild Side Pack welcomed a new member – Archie the Springer Spaniel. I was delighted as although I have a number of Cocker Spaniels in my pack, Archie is my first Springer!

He was a little unsure about the van (but not too bad), but once up at Mugdock he was perfect. I kept him on the lead for less than 5 minutes as every time I called on him while on the extending lead, he shot instantly back to me.
Off lead he had an absolute blast – running about through the forest with Ivy and Ghillie, splashing through the puddles and jumping into every bit of mud/bog he could find.
I never needed to watch for him as he kept his eye on me the whole time, and he played and interacted beautifully with the rest of the pack.
Archie is a lovely friendly boy, who comes from a loving and caring home – my favourite breed of dog. Welcome, Archie! You and I are going to get on just brilliantly.

Barclay


Barclay has been on his holidays with me for the last few days, and he couldn’t have been better. He gets on so well with Holly and Ivy, he is fantastic in the house and out on our walks and I just think he’s a wonderful dog in every sense but it will be my daughter Sarah who is heart broken!

She just LOVES Barclay. She warms his mince (“he LOVES it, Mum”), wants him to sleep in her bed, and cuddles him endlessly.
Sarah will be heart broken when I take Barclay home, and although he will be quite delighted to see his owners, I have a sneaking suspicion that he might miss her too!!

Herbie’s last Wild Side Walk

Herbie (the black lab in the photo) had his last walk with the gang today, as he is moving to Hove, near Brighton.

Herbie has been the most wonderful addition to my pack – he leaps straight into the van, LOVES our walks together and gets on with ALL the other dogs. You NEVER need to worry about him wandering, or not getting on with anyone – he has the most beautiful gentle nature.
He enjoyed a last stick fight with Ghillie (there have been many!!) and a last swim up at the Abbe this morning. I will miss him so much – I had to run away when when I was dropping him off home as tears were definitely just about there!!
Hope you find a great dog walker back in Hove, Herbie (they will be SO lucky!)
I will miss you terribly 🙁 but hope you and your family enjoy being back in Brighton.

My Wee Helper!


The summer holidays from school have finally arrived which means I have a wee helper – my daughter Sarah loves to come with me when she can!

Sarah is great with the dogs and they ALL just love her. Coco especially just adores Sarah – when I go to pick her up, as soon as she catches sight of Sarah in the passenger seat she goes completely crazy! Running full pelt for the van, tail wagging SO fast that you can hardly see it!
I appreciate the company and the dogs just love Sarah, and Sarah loves to walk with me and loves all the dogs – win, win, win WIN!!

Ghillie’s Holidays

Ghillie has been on his holidays with me for the last week while his owners were away enjoying some sun (lucky things!)

The weather was truly awful for practically the whole time, not that it bothered Ghillie too much!
He was the perfect house guest – my kids just loved having him to stay (me too!)
We walked up at Mugdock Country Park, Queens View and Drymen and Ghillie LOVED all of our walks.
He went home this afternoon, and my house now seems very quiet without him….

Juno and Chilli

Juno and Chilli have been on their holiday with me for the last few days and have been the perfect house guests.

They have both LOVED their walks, in the house they couldn’t have been better and they get on so well with Holly and Ivy!
Juno has always been a firm favourite within my pack and the new addition to the household is going to be another perfect pack member. Chilli is still very young, but by the way she behaves you would think she is much older – she is very respectful, comes immediately she is called and is the cutest thing you have ever seen.
You two are ALWAYS welcome in my house!

Testimonials

My dog stayed with Jackie a few years back while I was on holiday. I would highly recommend! Mypet was well cared for and happy. I was sent pictures of my dog so I could see how she was. I was asked about my dogs routine, likes and dislikes. Dog came home happy and exhausted lol! Fabulous . Picked up and dropped off. Fabulous service ? ?
