Great Start to February!

So February has well has truly started, we didn't even notice January ending! The weather hasn't changed much just a new storm every week!

So here's what's been happening at Bruff's Bark:

Kari has been learning swim in the new rivers!

Noah has learned of the mud and has tried to change from a blonde to a black labrador, much to our constant pleas to stay out of it.

And Skye loath of the wind and rain has made her an unhappy dog, wanting to just sleep the days away - we know that feeling.

Sun and Fun!

So looks like Summer decided to make an appearance this week - though not for long! - so we had some nice fun with our Band Members and some photos!

Left to Right: Winston, Mortimer & Alfie & Benji, Barney and Merlin & Daphne

Left to Right: Cara, Rhu & Buster and Red

Finally we'll end with a video of Buster, Cara and Kari having some fun in the well missed sun!

Hotel Bruff

Yes, it looks like doors are opening and closing often at Hotel Bruff with the start of summer, so let's see who has been recently!

We start off with a 2 week visit from Cara! As she's grown up with the Girls, she's right at home at Hotel Bruff.

Nap Time!

Watching passersby from the window!

Next up we have a big boy who hasn't been for a while but it more than welcome, it's Oscar! He's been staying for the past few days and catching up with everyone.

He has been greatly missed by the Girls but he knows how to have fun, so here is some clips of him in action, including some fun in the sun with Rudi!

But after all the fun and playing it's time for a well deserved nap and Oscar likes his naps, even if they are short!

He's a good doorstop as well! 

Never made it to bed.

Ssshhh, don't wake him up!

We've emptied up for now, but there are more guests round the corner!

In other news, Bruff's Bark has been enjoying the recent increase in Sun - even getting a bit of a tan/burnt - but it's important to remember that not all dogs like the heat!

Rudi likes the heat but can't last long in it!

Kari is loving the weather!

 Finally, Elmo is just happy to go back to his bed after his walk whatever the weather!

Time for a Breather!

It's been quite hectic over the past few weeks and we have lots of things to tell and show!

We'll start off with a big thank you to Zorona and Hope who have been helping out with some of our members for the past few months, they have been great help and will be missed especially by the pugs, Winston and Rudi!

"Hey everyone!

We worked at Bruff's Bark over the past summer. We really enjoyed ourselves and loved getting to know both the staff and all the dogs. We especially miss the pugs who we regularly spent time with, Rudi and Winston. For us, it was the ideal summer job; getting to spend time outside in the sun with animals we loved. A big thanks to Hilary for taking us under her wing! We're back at university continuing our studies now but we hope to back in the future.

Lots of love,

Zorona and Hope"

Next up we've got a few new faces to let you meet!

First up, is a 4 year old boxer called Roxy! She may seem a big girl but she's gentle and loves to play!

Next up is this handsome boy, Harley, he's a 3 month Labrador/Spaniel Cross. He may be new to this world but he's a little genius and has been breezing through training.

Thirdly, we have another young one, this time it's Lula. This golden girl is small at the moment but knows how to have fun and has already made a great friendship with one of our bigger and fluffier members, Chloe!

We've had another visitor to Hotel Bruff, this time it's was Rudi for the night!

Surprise photo!

He may be a lot smaller compared to Girls but this wee man knows how to get some attention and has even ended up getting his own selfie!

With a bit of help!

We are getting there! We couldn't leave without a few videos of members in action!

So here's Winston, Frank, Floyd, Harley, Maggie, Midget, Sammy and Red!

And last but not least, we have some photos of Band Members showing off their good side!

Cheeky little Kari and happy face Ruby

Skye - model material!

Time for a Close Up!

The weather has some times proved too much for our Bruff's Bark Members but it also provides the perfect time for some photo opportunities!

Starting from the top left, we've got the poser Bertie, then we've got two newer members: Guanche and (Mr) Bradley showing some good smiles!
Then we've got Rudi having a good nap after a good time playing in the sun, next up is Maggie showing her fierce face - real model material there!
Following is Kari and Merlin & Daphne all chilling in the good weather.
Finally the last two, the heat has proved too much for Oscar then it's Rhu as per usual enjoying not doing much!

Then it's time for our big boy with loads of joy, it's Red! He may be big, full of beans but this boy is just a super-sized pup, wanting to play, meet new friends and a gentle giant at heart!

Finally after 2 weeks with the Girls, Bertie is finally back home to enjoy some peace and quiet. He's never stopped, from meeting other members and going to new places, he'll need a holiday to recover! 

A show of Smiles!

Yes, we've had some nice weather and with that comes happy dogs!
We'll start of with an older boy, who has been with us since near the beginning but is still full of energy and makes Addison work, here's Boomer!

Next up, we have a boy - with his lil' sister - who unfortunately had a infection in his eye for a while but is back in full health and full of energy, here's Merlin with Daphne!

No, they aren't that small, it's a very big ball!

Also here's a clip of him showing his happiness to be able to play again! - Daphne is just happy to sunbathe.

Then here's another little girl, who is full of beans for her favourite ball, it's Kari!

Finally, we'll round this up with a few more happy face, here's the regulars: Rhu, Skye and Winston!

Who's going to get the frisbee? No-one?

Exciting Times!

Yes it's been another busy few weeks at Bruff's Bark and things are really hotting up - unlike the recent weather - with new faces, training and good old fashion fun!

So let's start with one of the new members to the Bruff's Bark Band: Charlie!

Chillin' after some fun in the sun.

He's a 2 year old Belgian Shepherd cross, who gets really fluffy when his coat grows in! He's only recently joined but he's already spent a night with the Girls - Rhu and Skye - lucky him!

Making himself at home with the bones.

Relaxing with Skye.

Here is the new boy in action with long time member of the Band and his new friend: Jack!

Next up some footage from Training, starring: Alfie, Yogi, Ruby and Kai! This week was all about concentration and getting the course done correctly and not as fast as possible.

And finally to round off with some fun, starting with this little lady.

Kari - look at that smile!

And then the boys who probably will never grow up: Oscar and Rudi!

Training Time and Introductions!

Training is a great part of a dog's life, but it doesn't mean it has to be boring! Here to show off first is Otto - a puppy Bloodhound with a strong nose, especially for treats!

Next up we have Kari, this wee Border Terrier is full of beans and willing to please! She is quick to learn and shows off as she speeds through the training course with her brother and mum! It's easy to see the bond between her and her brother and amazing to watch them together in action!

Next we shall introduce, Oscar the puppy bulldog! He can be quite stubborn to get moving but once he starts he never wants to stop! But you can't stop to aww when you see him!

And finally we have: Bertie the young Beagle! He's just like all Beagles and has his nose in everything but he'll soon learn of more fun things to do!

Training and then Fun!

At Bruff's Bark, we make sure that training of any sort is the most important part of the walk and play, as you'll see the in the next two videos, Betty get her training then her play with Marley!

Finally here is Kari, ready to play her favourite game of letting the ball run down the hill!

March Madness

For a few days this week we've been seriously wondering which season we are currently in now, but nevertheless we continued on through the blizzard conditions to the warm sun come the end of the week but not without loads of videos of our furry friends!

We start with Bailey, Jack, Scarlett and Betty in the best of the blizzard!

Here we have Chloe enjoying the weather to the max, almost camouflaged in the snow!
 

Thirdly we have Rhu, Skye, Buster and Winston enjoying the cold but calm weather.

Finally we have Kari - a new start to the Bruff's Bark Band - enjoying a good play in the aftermath of the awful weather!

Also we have received our Dog Walking permits from the Council!
