Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

We have had a hectic couple of days. Friday night someone hacked into the salon email address and sent spam emails using the Doggy Doos address - we know this by the unprecedented amount of undelivered mail back to our email address so if you received a spam email it certainly wasn't from us.

It has been glorious weather here in Cumbria which we have been enjoying. Today though a butterfly came into our house to the amazement of Martini and Daisy who couldn't take their eyes of it. The poor butterfly managed to fly out of the back door only to come straight back in again. Martini was beside himself and it had his full attention. We are very happy to report that the butterfly found its way out again and decided not to come back.

As the weather was so nice today, we went off to Mawbray to enjoy a walk on the beach. We have posted a photo from the top of the grassy dunes at Mawbray of Martini and Daisy enjoying a little rest. Hope the weather is great where you are!

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

Well done to the winners of Pawparazzi Day Ruby, Matthew & Charlie and Winnie - Ruby collected her prize on the day and Winnie's mummy and Charlie's mummy came to the salon on Tuesday to collect their gift baskets. There was a small article in the Cumberland News about the day so we will try and scan it and post it to the news page on the website. There are a few new pages on the website which are Pawaparazzi Day 2011, News Hound and Contact/Opening - this one shows the current opening times of the salon. The Bow Wow Boutique page has also been updated.

On Thursday we had an early appointment at the salon and then we went to visit Morag's mummy in York. Martini and Daisy were the lucky recipients of new beds (blue for Tini Bear and pink for Oopsy Daisy) to bring home. We had a great time and the weather was lovely unlike today in Cumbria!

As the weather hasn't been at all nice today, we have had a quiet day at home. There was a short sunny spell so we went straight out to the garden but it didn't last very long. Martini hates going out in the rain so it is a struggle to get him out in this weather. As we didn't go somewhere for a special walk, we have posted a photo of Martini posing with his football which Toby took for us last year. Fingers crossed we will get our summer back soon!

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

Yesterday was Pawparazzi Day - we had a great time and thank you to everyone who came along to the salon and entered the photo competition. A big BOW WOW thank you to Ann Nixon who judged the competition. Ann brought her dog Jack along for the day and Martini, Daisy and Jack are great friends so enjoyed themselves. It was very hard work but definitely worth it as there were lots of fantastic photos taken by Toby. Ann went through the photos and a shortlist was drawn up for each category and Ann had the unenviable task of picking the winners. Well done to Ruby for Cute K9, Matthew and Charlie for Best Lookey-Likey and Winnie for Pawpapped (unposed photo). Their photos are absolutely fantastic and a big BOW WOW thank you and well done goes to Toby for taking all the photos. A Pawparazzi Day page will be put on the website in the next couple of days showing the winning photos. Ann and Jack did a great job of judging so we gave Ann some flowers and a present for Jack as he couldn't enter the competition. We decided to post today's photo of Ann receiving her flowers from Morag.

As Martini and Daisy worked hard yesterday meeting and greeting the four legged contestants they are having a restful day today. The weather has been lovely here in Cumbria so we cut the grass (which never seems to stop growing), tidied the salon and caught up with the washing.

We really enjoyed Pawparazzi Day so we will probably do it all over again next year!

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

We wanted to remind everyone about Pawparazzi Day this Saturday (9 July) between 2pm and 5pm. We hope you will be able to come along on the day so we have posted a photo of the three prizes which are gift baskets of toys for the best photos. All the toys have squeakers for extra enjoyment. Good luck to everyone who enters!

We will also take this opportunity to say a Yappy Birthday Winnie (Bulldog) who will be 4 years old tomorrow (7 July) - have a fun day Winnie we hope you receive lots of tasty treats for your birthday!

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

Well, it has been a glorious day here in Cumbria with wall to wall sunshine! Even sun lover Daisy actually sat in the shade earlier on so it must have been hot on the Daisy Scale.

We have been a little busy with cutting the grass, went for a walk and then off to see our friend Gillian at her shop in Caldbeck. Morag had a very yummy Crunchie Munchie sundae but as it is not suitable for dogs Morag ate the entire sundae herself. We have posted a photo of Daisy again today showing how naughty she can be as she acts like butter wouldn't melt! Whenever we go for a walk Daisy has decided now that she is not going to walk back to the car and lies down whenever she is. Today, our walk was on a quiet road near where we live so Martini and Daisy can walk off their leads. As you can see by the photo, when it was time to go back to the car Daisy just lay down in the road.

Our Pawparazzi Day is only a week away and we can't wait. We do hope you will be able to come along and have your photo taken - remember there are three great gift baskets to be won! Pawparazzi Day - 9 July 2pm - 5pm.

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

This is a birthday special blog as today is Daisy's birthday. Daisy is 6 years old today which makes her approximately 37 years old in human years.

Daisy has had a lovely day, first working (and sleeping) at the salon, then a walk in the lovely warm sunshine and slap up supper of chicken, rice and gravy.

We have posted our very favourite photo of Daisy today which was taken quite surreptitiously by Toby almost a year ago to the day. Daisy hates having her photo taken but we had all been sitting outside in the sunshine when Toby took this stunning photo of Daisy - we love her little brown nose!

Charlie Moore was 3 years old yesterday (approximately 25 years old in human years). Charlie is a Chipoo and is a real cutie pie - Yappy Birthday Charlie!
