Due to Whisky’s deteriorating health, I have had to make the huge decision to permanently close Wag-A-Lot. This has not been an easy decision to make.
Whisky IS Wag-A-Lot, he has taught the dogs how to behave, how to socialise, how to play and how to love. Many dogs have come to Wag-A-lot over the years some for a holiday and some for day care. Some dogs we have met regularly on our walks and they bound towards our pack with such enthusiasm, energy and love, enjoying the fun times and becoming our friends. I have been fortunate to watch puppy’s turn in to loving adult dogs as they have spent many years with Wag-A-Lot. We have had several modes of transport for dogs that needed that little extra help, we have had 2 different doggy pools, gone through 1,000’s of tennis balls, 100’s of teddies have been destroyed through enthusiastic play. Human friends have joined us over the years to enjoy our walks and learn how to train dogs positively, there have been plenty of birthday cakes and parties which they all loved. We have covered 1,000’s of miles on our walks over the years, I have taught dogs to swim, I have delighted in watching dogs regularly swim in deep and shallow waters and lots of dogs rolled in Fox poo with such delight (which meant lots of doggy baths). I have had many different types of breeds of dogs including 7 Black Labradors and 4 Cockapoos’ and several types of terriers too. Great friendships with dog owners have been made through Wag-A-Lot which I hope will continue for many years to come.
I have cried many tears as some members have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and I have cried many tears of laughter with the dogs’ antics and boundless energy. I would like to say a huge Thank You to all my customers past and present for bringing their furbabies into mine and Whisky’s life. We love each and every one of them and they will always be in our hearts forever.
