Playful Paws has been working very hard to bring you the basics of our new online shop.

The shop can be found on our website navigation menu and currently offers a small range of toys and accessories. Please bare with us as we plan on making our shop page much more interactive in that not to distant future.

Please get in touch if there is anything you'd like to see available from our shop, we'd love to hear from you!

Cody

Playful Paws first ever customer, Cody, a Black Cockapoo, has spent a weekend being petsitted away from his family home in Nettleham, Lincoln.

As you can see below, Cody was made to feel welcome by all members of the household and recieved plenty of fuss and cuddles whilst giving back the occassional lick of appreciation...







Cody is an absolute joy to have in home, his playful and soft nature has made him very popular amungst people and other dogs. Cody and Blue have gotten along famously and Cody has even taught Blue a thing or two about play fighting and wrestling with the toys.



The pair enjoyed their long walks together over the course of the weekend, above they are running around on Lincolns South Common off Carholme Road. If you look closely you can just make out the Cathedral in the background.



On Sunday afternoon after our walk, the boys were treated to pedigree jumbone each. They sat and waited whilst I struggled to open the packet and then both exchanged a shake of a paw for the long awaited treat!

On Monday, Cody couldn't believe his luck when his friend Eddie arrived for Day Stay. The three went hyper running around the garden before being whisked away in the car to Washingborough for a long walk down the riverside path.




A large statment bench soon became a climbing frame as the boys chased eachother around it!







Attempting to teach them about the history of the canal...



All three were very content after their walk...



The afternoon soon livened up again with Dexter arriving at lunchtime and off on another walk we went, all very well behaved! Cody had fun rolling in the grass. He also stole the ball off Blue and Eddie and all three ran around after eachother.

Holly and Ella

Holly and Ella, two gorgeous Springer Spaniels spent a weekend with Playful Paws using our 'live in' petsitting service.

They made lots of new friends (both k9 and human!) and were the centre of attention wherever they went!They both have bags of energy but have very different personalities. On arriving they were able to meet Blue the German Sheperd and were taken on a walk to Lincolns 'Cow Paddle' Common opposite the South Common. They were very excited to be in a new place and explored throughly before settling down.




On Sunday the girls were taken on a walk of Lincolns River banks to the Boultham Park area and then up onto joining streams to the Triton Road area and back into Lincoln. The walk took around two hours, there was plenty to sniff and lots of other dogs to meet!






Paw = Gravy bone!







Two very sleepy dogs after their walk!

Milo

Playful Paws team member Helen recently had a new addition to her household, a Springer called Milo.

Here's Milo's story...

"We had been thinking for over a year whether to rescue and we decided now was the right time. We were looking to re-home primarily for Bubbles, our four year old German shepherd. We knew from walks and other dogs staying in our home that she is a sociable dog who loves to play, and knew it would be great company for her, inevitably making her a happier dog. I have a lot of experience with Springer spaniels and have grown up with them and knew this was the breed we were ideally after. We registered with Jerry Green Rescue and they were willing to call us if one came in. Our luck must have been in as two weeks later we got the call; they had Milo, a 13month old Springer spaniel that had been put up for rescue due just to the owners ill-health. We were extremely excited to meet him and slightly anxious to see if bubbles would take to him. But when they first met we knew Milo was the right companion for her! The first day he came home with us they were playing in the garden within minutes and are now inseparable. Milo absolutely adores his new big sister Bubbles!"

Check back with us for Milo's progress and updates on his training!

Playful Paws Funday in the Lincolnshire Echo!

We were all very excited last Thursday at our funday taking place at Redwood Drive Community Centre in Waddington, as Lincolnshire Echo photographer Chris Vaughan was on his way to see what we were up to.

As with anyone who enters the hall half way through the day, our dogs greeted him very loudly and very excitably. At first Chris must have thought the hall was chaotic, as he tried to explain over the barking and through all the dogs running to greet him, that he was actually allergic to dogs! Regardless of this, he snapped away with his camera and got to grips a little more with what Playful Paws fundays are all about. Above you can see a couple of the dogs sitting and recieving treats. Dogs from left to right: Ruby, Cody, Ruby, Murphy and Charlie. Below is Helen with Charlie. Charlie often tries to collect 2 or 3 toys in his mouth at the same time, which is very amusing to watch! This is the photo that appeared in the Lincolnshire Echo's 'Grapevine' section on Thursday the 6th of August, page 21.
