I hope everyone is keeping cool in this heat.

We walked in the woods at 0730, finished with a cooling dunk in the river, and have done very little since then.

How about you?

📣 Calling all Hampshire Dog Owners: I need your noses! 🐾🍻

I'm on a mission at Mutterly Hampshire to build the ultimate, curated guide to the very best dog-friendly pubs and cafés in the county.

I already have 35 fantastic, vetted spots listed, but I know that is just the tip of the tail!

Hampshire is huge, and there are hundreds more hidden gems that truly welcome our canine friends.

I need your help to sniff them out! 🕵️‍♀️🐶

Where is your absolute favourite local? The place where your dog is greeted with a genuine smile (and maybe a biscuit) rather than just "tolerated"?

Tell me their names in the comments below! 👇

Whether it’s a cozy corner in a New Forest pub after a muddy walk, or a spacious café in Basingstoke perfect for puppy socialization—tell me where they are and why you love them.

Let’s build the best resource for Hampshire’s dog community, together!

What’s your dog’s favourite part of a dog show? The scurry run? The natural treats? Or the quiet "safe pocket" snuggles? 🍦🐕

While we love the buzz of a summer show, it can be a lot for our four-legged friends to process.

So I've put together a guide on how to spot stress signals and why you should never feel guilty about skipping a "hello" to give your dog some space.

Read my top tips for a stress-free show day:

Fabulous day at Dogs Day Out up at Worldham. Met some brilliant local dog businesses and loads of beautiful dogs!

If you've missed it, don't worry as it's on again tomorrow and we will be back judging one of the dog shows 😍

It's a brilliant day out and plenty of quiet spaces for when your dog needs to decompress.

This is a wonderful shop in Alton. Please pop in if you're in the area. We really need to save our independent pet shops that care so much more about your dogs than the big corporates.

I'm quite excited to share this week's blog which is all about mantrailing!🐾

Mango and I have recently started doing this with Dog Scout Training and we love it. When he finds the person, he is so thrilled he has to tell everyone about how clever he is! 🥰🤣

It's a lovely way to spend a weekend morning and we've met some lovely people as well.

Check out the blog to find out more! 👇
