In this blog, we'll share the heartwarming story of how we supported Hovis throughout his parents' special day. Hovis started the day being cared for by his Grandmother, who kindly took him on a stroll around the grounds for him to explore! after having a groom the day before he was looking and smelling so handsome .... that was until he decided to roll in mud!! His poor Granny had to shower him down and get him smelling sweet again!  When I arrived to take over his care in the morning we spent time getting to know each other in a relaxed manner, we wondered around the venue (On lead to avoid any more rolling!!) playing with his favourite toys in the accommodation and generally getting to know each other as we had only met that morning Hovis and I explored the ceremony room first...
