Tears before bedtime.

Tears before Bedtime,

So yesterday, 30th March 2021 Our beloved Gorgeous Georgie reached the end of her journey. She had bravely and gallantly plodded on in recent times but it became apparent that her time had come.


Georgie was one of the elder ladies of our group, a definite leader, ensuring that the harmony within the group remained balanced.

She was a marvelous mentor to all the new recruits.

She was often referred to by me as bullet proof, she would remain calm and controlled at all times, rarely barking, but obviously yipping, yapping and squealing as only a staffie can lol.

Too say that we are distraught is an understatement, she would have had a way of bringing us around, she was always in the right place at the right time, doing what was required, she was without doubt the plaster that held us all together, not able to heal us on our own,but ensuring that we bound together to heal as a whole.


We have had some amazing adventures travelling around the UK on our journey, I crease up thinking of how she would have to retrieve the largest rock possible from the deepest stream, an absoulte doofus

From our inital meeting fifteen and a half years ago, Georgie the six month old reprebate that would chew everything in sight, and hated meeting our resident dog, blossomed into the calm, gentle lovable soul that would steal the hearts of everybody that she would meet, she would mentor and lead by example for all of our dogs, she will be deeply missed.


It would be fair to say that Georgie was always at the heart of everything,

She was integral in my introductory assignment for entry into University.

First practical lesson as University we worked together building a bond and developing our potentials

She helped me through all my University practicals making it look easy.

It is fair to say that i wouldn’t be where i am now without her

And now she is home again, right where she belongs.

With us her loving family

Loved forever

Never forgotten

Special thanks to:

Bentley Road Veterinary centre, Doncaster for their support and compassion throughout these times, a really fabulous team of caring people.

Greenacres Pet Crematorium, East Butterwick, Nr Scunthorpe, for their compassion and willingness to please and including our every wishes, we will not use anybody else to care for our loved ones.

Love to everybody,

Keep safe,

Keep distanced,

Keep loving your dogs,

MARCH 2021

Morning and apologises for the quiet last few weeks, things have been rather busy here, sales have been good and nice to know that we are helping make a difference, I have started a new full-time job, but this will not affect the delivery schedules or work on the shop, luckily it also fits in alongside all my dog walking and training sessions.

Gorgeous Georgie one of our elder dogs is beginning to struggle with her movements now and as such we are having to adapt her walking routine to include her new canine pimp mobile by utilising this ensures it that her quality of life is maintained, until we cannot anymore then there are difficult decisions to be made.

All our dogs are enjoying the beginning of Spring, old dogs, bald dogs none of them enjoy the cold weather, Spring is about them enjoying the freedom outside being comfortable and able to explore their surroundings. As soon as the lockdown restrictions allow, we will be venturing further, experiencing new surroundings with lots of photos to follow.

The shop has been busier than I could have expected and, in many ways, surprising with some products I expected to be favourites slow to take off and others literally flying off the shelf beyond expectations, with this in mind we will be monitoring sales over the next few months with a view to updating the stock to match the demands, in the meantime any ideas or suggestions for interesting products, equipment or anything dog related would be gratefully received.

One of our best-selling products would be the ever-essential dog waste bags our initial stock was 6000 and sold superfast in a matter of weeks and as such we have sourced a better deal for a larger stock and as with everything, I will be passing the saving onto yourselves.
