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!



Holly making herself quite comfortable on the sofa!



Edd the Reindeer took quite a thrashing during a game of tug of war!







A satisfied customer...
