“Who said I’m too big to be picked up?” These could be Bud’s words, if only he could talk! This big boy spent 8 days with us while his humans were abroad. What a delight it was to have Bud with us. Such a good dog, so cuddly. He has no idea of how big he is though, and loves to be picked up. I gotta tell you, I was impressed with myself 🙂 Great leg work out picking him up off the ground. Ohh I miss him already…...

The dogs were very eager to arrive at the beach. We had our guest Ruby at day care. The day started with a beautiful sun and fresh wind. I thought the best place to take the dogs for a good walk on a Monday morning would be the beach. We had the place to ourselves. And the dogs absolutely loved it! ...

Weekend delight with all these doggies! What a treat it was to have all these dogs with us! Mel, our regular client who comes every Friday and stays until Saturday, this time stayed all the way to Monday so her mom and dad could go on a short trip over the weekend. Shelby, the black bull-breed dog, is a sweetheart. She’s full of energy, but very gentle when it comes to playing with smaller dogs. Mel and Shelby had a blast together. And by night time, they both crashed and slept all......

What a nice, warm morning to take the dogs to another one of my favorite spots in North Canterbury: Pegasus Town. I think the man-made lake is the most appealing feature of the township, likely because it reminds of my hometown in Brazil: Brasilia, where there’s also a man-made lake. We had Indie at Day Care today so I took her and my boys Rocky, Wookie and Jack for a nice long walk around Pegasus Lake. I am enjoying the warm days in North Canterbury and hoping for a long-lasting summer....

Today’s morning walk was along the Kaiapoi Red Zone where there’s now a beautiful park/reserve called NCF Reserve (sorry, I have no idea what NCF stands for – please feel free to write under the “comments” if you do!). It’s one of my favorite spots in Kaiapoi to take the dogs to. But please keep your dogs under control because of the wildlife. There’s a lake where you see all sorts of birds, and they do come up on the lawn to sunbathe. So, last thing you’d want is for your dog......

We had our guest at Daycare today, Ruby, a cute whippet who’s been coming to Rocky & Co. Pet Care for a few months now. She’s full of energy and loves to go for long walks, just like my boys do. Today was a drizzly and cool day, and I didn’t want us to be stuck inside the house, so I took my 3 boys and our guests Macca (a Sidney Silk) and Ruby to one of my favorite city walking tracks: the Christchurch Coastal Pathway. We probably did about 2 km......

Here are a few of the weekend’s moments caught on camera. We had 9 extra dogs (or 12 if we count our own 3 doggies). What a party!!! We also welcomed two new guests Indie (German Sheppard and Husky cross) and Shelby (Staffie cross)....

Toby came to Rocky & Co. Pet Care with his sister Rigby. They’ll be staying with us for 2 and 1/2 weeks! Ribgy is quieter and prefers to hang out indoors, but Toby is a social butterfly. Toby’s made of Macca, the 3-legged Sidney Silk, a great friend on the first day! I simply love to watch dogs playing together so happily and freely. ...
