Puddle Paradise & Pampered Paws: A Joyful (and Wet!) Week at Pets and Pats!

What a week it's been! Mother Nature certainly delivered some serious rain, creating lots of mud puddles across the farm. But as you'll see in our VLog below, our pups barely noticed.

Our farm runs became glorious mud slides, perfect for epic zoomies and chasing friends. Most of our pups, big and small, embraced the "chocolate-dipped mud monster" look – proving the more mud, the more fun! For those precious pups who prefer to keep their paws dry, our cozy wet weather barn and farm-house provided warm, dry havens.

To ensure everyone's safety and smooth operations, our wonderful neighbours (a digging company owner!) have been hard at work. They're adding sand and stones to key areas and improving drainage to create safer, drier paths for both pups and our team. Our amazing earthworkers are even putting in weekend hours to sort out our play paddocks, hoping for dry weather to get them pristine again just in time for the busy Matariki and July school holidays!

Rest assured, our dedicated team is working extra hard to wash as much mud off your pubs before they head home, utilising our warm water wash-down area. Our washing machines are certainly getting a workout this winter, but the team's smiles never stop!

Given all this essential farm work, and wanting to ensure a truly perfect experience for you when you visit, we've decided to postpone our Open Day until after Matariki and July school holidays. For the few families who were still keen, we're happy to offer a special VIP visit at a time that suits you best. We will get in contact with you to organise a time. If you are passing by, you are also always welcome to pop in and visit us anytime as well.

Any questions, or ideas for future VLogs? Just hit reply! Thank you as always for trusting us with your precious pups. We truly ruff them (and you!).

Angela, Marise, Callum, Robson, Leanne, Gigi, Layne and Antoine
