"As you may know, my dog Hollie isn’t one for socialising and dog walking, so this isn’t a personal issue – but with the rise in professional dog walkers/pet buddy/borrowing schemes, who bears the cost if something goes wrong?"

Peke people

Hollie says hello.

We’ve done it… our own royal “baby” has appeared.

After much searching and angst Hollie has joined our family – and I’m afraid it’s another Peke. We have officially become “Peke people”.

We went to the usual rescue centres and contacted a few online rescues too. There were some lovely dogs there but, as time went on, it became clear that only a Peke would do.

I did think the whole hunt would be easier than it was. We wanted a small, older dog, and could cope with health problems. But, surprisingly, there are mainly young healthy dogs in rescue!

However we now have Hollie. She’s 6 years old and a beautiful black Peke. She’s had a little hair cut for summer and is enjoying life!
