Wishing everyone a lovely Sunday

13th of December. To end the week on a cheerful note this is Pixie’s family.
Her son, granddaughter and great grandsons.
They make me smile everyday and go out for a walk. Rain or shine. Well apart from Maiken she doesn’t like the rain or the wind or too much exercise.
Hope you’re having a lovely weekend
The Jacks

12th of December is little Pixie.
She used to come for a mother/daughter spa day. Pixie is the reason I have Jack Russell’s.
Truly pixie style she dwindled her way into my friend’s house and then enchanted all of us. Suddenly I have her son and promote Jack’s at crufts. Well 10 years later.
Pixie is deeply missed but she lives on in her children, grand and great grandchildren
From her family

The 11th door is gentle Jack.
Another little dog who left a massive space to fill. So much part of all the important stages of life. He had a lovely dedicated owner and would come for acupuncture.
Thank you and lots of love

10th door is sweet Jiffy. First he came for company and then enjoyed his acupuncture sessions for his aches and pains. When he was young he lost one of his legs. He had a very happy 3 legged life but needed some help later on.
He will be very much missed this Christmas and every day. We’re so thankful to our dogs and cats. Thank you for your company

⁉️ LOST DOG TRACKING LEVEL 1 ⁉️

⁉️Do you want to be a lost dog tracking team or Buddy?⁉️

I'm delighted to have secured dates for Claire to come over again and do a level 1 lost dog tracking course .

If you are out of area and want to do this as a dog handler full support will be given throughout your training from me and my team, we would love to increase teams in areas without any.

👉👉 10th, 11th & 12th June 2026👈👈

A full indepeth 3 full day course starting you on your journey to become operational teams.
(Level 2 and 3 required to be operational)

Claire is dedicated to providing the UK with the best tracking teams available therefore you become part of the team and have backup as such with opportunities to add training CPD with them too.

I'm delighted to offer this as a team of dogs in the area will be a massive bonus.

👉👉The venue is the paw project in newthorpe.

Handler spaces are £320 - spaces

Buddy spaces £75 - spaces

If you wish to join us as a spectator/buddy you will be just as valuable, you will get to watch the whole 3 days and also join in with training some of the dogs. As a dog handler team you are never sent out alone, so buddy's are a vital part of the operation. Or if your just interested in finding out that little bit more about LDT or the way it's trained join us.

The buddy's on the last course I attended all got an amazing amount of info from it.

The 9th door is beautiful Hildi enjoying her bubble bath. She came for her holidays and seized the opportunity to have a famous Theraclean bath.
Very sadly since then she has passed away.
This week I’d like to remember the lovely pets I had the honour of meeting and treating.
Yes Christmas is a joyful time but it doesn’t stop us missing important souls. Often we feel it now more than other times.
Lots of love from

Behind the 8th Adventsdoor is wonderful Gertie. Here she is enjoying a bubble bath. Afterwards she would feel so much better.
It’s so lovely to see such an amazing partnership between her and her owner. So much dedication and support for each other. We miss you 🥰
