Hello Everyone

Oh dear, it has been a few weeks since we last posted a blog but time just flies by and we need to catch up.

We have had so much weather thrown at us over the past 7 days alone we have had to carry both snow shovel and wellies around in the boot of the car!  Last Friday we decided that if we were going to visit Morag's mummy we would have to go on Friday and definitely be back on Saturday due to the weather forecast and we are very glad we did!  There was lots of snow from about 8 miles east of Penrith all the way to York and back.  When we got up on Saturday morning there had been even more snow so we decided we would travel back to Cumbria in the daylight and even then there was snow blowing across the A66 but our little car Noddy got us home safe and sound. We have had quite a bit of snow where we live but none at the salon and it is only about 8 miles from where we live.  Yesterday the rain came along so now we have to cope with flooded roads again!  Where will it all end?

We have decided to post a photo of Daisy today in the back garden and, as you can see, the snow came up to her tummy!  Martini suffers the most in the snow because he has extra fluffy legs and the snow sticks to him in big clumps.  We felt so sorry for him on our first walk on Saturday last week he had a coat on because it was so cold but there was so much snow  stuck to one of his legs we couldn't get his leg out of the coat!  Poor Martini he was so upset getting the snow pulled off his legs we had to give him extra cuddles.

We hope everyone keeps nice and warm and lets keep our fingers and paws crossed for some nice sunshine and milder temperatures!

1 January 2013 - Yappy New Year

Yappy New Year Everyone!

We would like to wish all our four legged friends and their families a very Yappy New Year for 2013!  We hope you have not indulged too much over the festive period but if you have then  you will have to go on some extra walks to burn off any excess treats!

We have posted a lovely photo of Martini and Daisy which was used on our Christmas cards and was taken by Joanne Caffrey at the portrait sitting held back in October.  Joanne really caught Martini and Daisy in a great pose with the Christmas pudding - which wasn't a real  one of course as Daisy would have tried to eat it bless her|! Everyone commented on how lovely the cards were and we will definitely order more next Christmas too.

Now that we have started 2013, on reflection, what a ride 2012 turned out to be!  We moved house twice, had to move the salon at very short notice and Morag's mummy moved house as well so it was certainly a busy time for us packing and unpacking.  Unfortunately, Morag's mummy broke her hip on 1 December on an icy pavement so we spent a lot of time on the road visiting her in hospital in York and, now she is back at home, also going back and forth to help with shopping, cleaning etc because she can't walk but all four of us still managed to have a great Christmas.

Who knows what 2013 will bring for all of us but we wish everyone good health and much happiness (and, not forgetting, some better weather too)!
