Goodbyes and Hellos

We are sad to announce that Bailey has left the Bruff's Bark Band to be re-homed to his brother, this was a hard decision but for the benefit of himself and his mum. He'll be missed by all especially his two "sisters" Scarlett and Betty.

But we also have good news with the introduction of both Marley and Duke in the Bruff's Bark Band. Marley is a young French Bulldog - who loves nothing but to play with his new pals - and Duke an old collie cross - who loves nothing but to play fetch and some peace and quiet.

Rhu and Skye on Holiday!

The girl were up at Grantown-on-Spey for a week and here we have come photos and videos of them having fun on holiday!

The girls are not happy about the temperature.

Big open fields that any dog would love!

Rhu having more fun in the waters, Skye again having no part in it.

The weather outside is frightful...

But not for our extreme sports pug, Winston! His mum has kindly let us share some photos of our little man braving the cold up some more mountains - he is truly one of a kind!

Also Hilary is currently on holiday till the 6th of April, so contact Tom for any dog walks and plays.

What a Year!

Rocky and Rhu - what a couple they make!

It has been just over a year since I've started working with Hilary at Bruff's Bark, and what a time it has been. I've faced the good, the bad and ugly days both in weather and experiences but I couldn't be any more happier in what I'm now doing.

As much as I would love a dog for myself, I feel I've got a huge pack of them now and I love them as if they were my own. Yes, sometimes they can be a bit naughty but I still care for them no matter what and I hope I'll have many more years with my furry friends.

I'm forever grateful to Hilary for giving me the chance to work beside her and learn. I do believe we'll have more fun days and gain more canine chums to join the Bruff's Bark Band! Every day is different and it can only get better and busier!

Tom.

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!

Dog Walking Permits

The City of Edinburgh Council has recently introduced a new permit scheme for professional dog walkers using council parks and greenspace - click for the article.

We are happy about this new scheme and are all aboard it's code of conduct , in the hope that parks and greenspace will be more safe for dogs and the public - with a reduction in the number of dogs taken out together, enforcement of picking up poo and public liability insurance in place incase of any accidents.

We have already applied for our permits!

Cara the Lurcher

Cara has just started in the Bruff's Bark Band and she is already becoming known to the rest of the other dogs. As you can see, she is small but full of energy! She just loves to run about and have fun; she is also showing off her intellect by picking up commands quickly. We are happy to see that she's become quite the friend with Scarlett - leaving poor Bailey to play by himself.

After a good walk and play, she loves nothing more than coming over to Skye and Rhu; to have a rest deserved rest.

Bailey and Scarlett

These two canines chums just love to play and walk with each other. Although Scarlett is full of beans and always excited for anything, Bailey takes it in good nature and let's have her fun. Their ages and sizes show that dogs can become best of friends with each other when given the time to get to know each other.

Also from the video, you can see Scarlett is starting to learn, with Bailey showing her what to do.
