With heading to France in May we were very pleased to be chosen (while still in Australia) to care firstly for Archie and then Chester, a Spanish rescue which the owners picked up from Spain a few weeks before we arrived. The home is just stunning and even though we experienced France’s heatwave with high 30 to 40 degree days the whole time we were there we were able to achieve looking both after Chester, Archie and the beautiful property to the standard we like to achieve.

Chester and Archie kept us amused with their very different personalities and because of some behavioral issues Chester had a dog trainer visit 3 times a week. Thankfully he continued to come while we were there to walk this very strong and excitable boy due to Bruno breaking his 5th metatarsal a week out from starting the sit. Archie enjoyed his walks around the village where everyone knew this very slow walking boy who thoroughly enjoyed getting out to experience the sights, smells & sounds of the village.
