Since the age of 13 I have always had a doggy companion by my side. My first love was an 8 week old Golden Retriever named Phoebe. They say you teach a dog new tricks, but in many ways she taught me how to mature and grow into the man I am today. Currently, I live my wife and daughter and our beautiful Dalmatian, Heidi. My wife had always wanted to own a Dalmatian after being hooked on the film 101 Dalmatians as a little kid and finally got her wish 18 months ago. There's nothing I love doing more than going out with Heids and seeing her run around in a wide open space and meet and greet other dogs and dog owners. The doggy community in Northampton are just fantastic. I recently moved to Northampton from London and feel so incredibly welcomed, which is mainly due to having Heidi as part of our family. We always get drafted in to look after our friends and families pets, but absolutely adore doing it, as both us and Heidi welcome in new play mates with open arms and paws. The experiences gained have really brought to light, a desire to start walking other dogs and help out those owners who don't always have the time to walk their furry friend.
