And so we finished the day as we started with Springers in the air. They found the gorse and primroses and the beautiful lab I home visit posed happily by the hyacinths.

This morning my partner messaged me to say the trees outside his office window were beginning to flower so today my doggy walkers and I set ourselves the challenge of photographing things we found in bloom. Heres what we've got so far ...

I'm loving the weather today. The dogs are enjoying it too!

So much mud. Bring back the snow!!!

It's definitely puppy season now as we are taking lots of bookings for our Puppy Pop Ins Getting a new puppy is exciting, but it also comes with a lot of changes to your routine especially if you work or need to go out. We can feed, cuddle, play & give your puppy a toilet break. Weekdays £10 for 30 minutes. Evenings, Weekends & Bank Hols please phone for availability.

What happens in bad weather? We have lots of fun. If there are extreme weather conditions such as snow and ice we will assess the situation and contact you regarding suitable arrangements but so far, this has not been necessary. And so the fun continues!!!

More fun in the snow today.

Snow flurrys today made my puppy home visits even more fun than ever!

First walk of the day today. A beautiful spring morning.

Today I said goodbye to this lovely lady. It always was a temporary arrangement, while her regular walker recovered from an operation but she took me on some lovely walks and I will miss her. Yes, you read correctly, she took me on some lovely walks; she knew various routes to the local pub and had great pleasure in showing me most of them. Sadly we didn't have time to stop for a quick one but the thought was there, clever girl.

I'm currently looking after these two lovely girls as Pet Pop Ins. Note the cheeky little robin on the upturned pot. One of the perks of running Scampers is appreciating the wildlife while I work, which is often varied and always a welcome sight and this week has been no exception. Imagine my surprise and excitement as a herd of 8 or 9 deer ran straight across my path while walking dogs in some woods on Monday. Luckily the dogs were just as surprised and didn't make chase. Other sightings this week have been a green woodpecker, two foxes, squirrels and another but more distant herd of deer.

I have started visiting these two adorable puppies as Pet Pop Ins while their new mummies and daddies are busy. Aren't I lucky!!!
