I've only been looking after Tom for a short while but I've got to admit I'm completely smitten! At 10 weeks he's already responding to: sit, stay, come, paw & leave. I'm now introducing him slowly to his collar and lead helping Tom and his owner to get ready for their adventures out in the big world :) You can't help but love Tom! Maria x I'm 'delighted' to have beautiful Jasmine as one of my furry customers until she's able to join her family for a sunny new life in Australia. The short video above shows how happy we both are with each other after our first ever walkies together. "Welcome Jasmine" - we'll have some great walks on Blackheath :) Introducing my 'cute' new customer: King Charles Spaniel pup 'TOM', I've been sitting with Tom for two weeks, he's only 8 weeks old and not allowed out for walkies until his jabs are complete so I've been having wonderful fun teaching him some basics. This video was taken on my mobile phone so it's a little small and not great quality but it shows how clever little Tom is and what can be achieved in such a short space of time. ENJOY - and please share with your friends & family with my compliments :) Maria x
