Small Dog Day at the farm

It was a pretty special day at the farm today. We hit a record 38 small dogs at the farm today! It was literally a sea of floof, and a day full of smiles and cuddles! We welcomed Milo the 4 month old Chocolate Cocker Spaniel puppy, brother and sister Bailey and Bridget the Shoodles, Molly the Cavoodle and brother and sister Bowie and Bronte the Mini Dachshunds to our Small Dog pack today. We were all excited to meet our new friends and show them what farm trips are all about ... fun!!!

It was an extra extra special day today. We had a very special guest at the farm. Her name is Beth. Beth has Metastatic cancer. Through a charity called Dreams2live4 we were contacted and Beth was able to have one of her dreams come true today ... to visit the farm and receive endless doggy cuddles. And the doggies didn’t disappoint, they showered Beth with cuddles. Beth sat on the grassy hill with her best friend Sandy cuddling several dogs at a time whilst the drone flew past, then the pee wee and then the big ball and all the time with a big pack of little dogs hot on their tail!

Beth had planned on getting in the heated pool and swimming with the doggies but a Farm day is a big day and she was feeling a little pooped to continue. We know how much Beth really wanted to do this. She’d come to see little Zeus dive into the pool. So we’ve invited Beth to come back again to just come for the swim. I’m putting this here so Beth doesn’t forget and so she knows how much we really want her to come visit again and finally swim with us all in the pool. Till next time ...

Farm Dogs in the Spotlight...

Today we talked about brothers Atlas and Zeus. Atlas is nearly 8 and Zeus is about to turn 1. Atlas has been coming to the farm for 3 years now and his little brother Zeus since he was just 4 months old.

Because Zeus started so young and right when we installed the big sports pool, Zeus had a couple of swimming lessons over Summer and he turned into a dock diving champion! He absolutely loves it. To be honest there’s nothing Zeus doesn’t do and doesn’t do awesomely, he’s definitely a high achiever when it comes to activities at the farm.

Mini Dachshunds were bred to be badger hunters so they’re tough little farm dogs. We find they’re awesome herders and love to herd the big ball. And Atlas and Zeus are no exception. They love coming on big dog days too because secretly they think they’re big dogs, but they also get to ride shotgun with Luke in the baby carrier on the quad leading the pack!

You can’t not acknowledge the fact that these guys are brave with hearts as big as lions. They don’t know the word ‘fear’ or the statement ‘I can’t do this’. They’re fearless little warriors and can achieve anything they put their minds too and boy do we absolutely love them for that. How could you not?!

The afternoon pool session...

The afternoon pool session was incredible. This is only the second time these little dogs have been in the new heated pool and wow wow wow how they have progressed with their water confidence!

Mia has literally grown gills! Since last time, no word of a lie. She swam the whole afternoon.

Chloe the Cocker Spaniel has been telling us all day to go to the pool already ... it’s her favourite and she cries all day letting us know how we’re not yet in the pool! 😆

Little Zeus was unsure to start off, he hadn’t been in the new pool before. Luke got him in once for a swim to show him the water was warm and that was all he needed. He was then diving in every chance he could!

His brother Atlas took no convincing. Harry the Moodle was in by himself too. And even first timer Bowie the Mini Dachshund and then well he couldn’t stop. Daphne was swimming after all the tennis balls and even Ellie the Cavalier got in herself.

The Small Dog pack are in serious training for summer they’re going to be a formidable team this year! Woooo!!
