Football fever has been everywhere in recent weeks, with the new season starting and transfer deadlines being met (or broken!).

And Fulham in south west London is no exception, with ardent supporters of Fulham Football Club creating a real buzz as they follow all the action.

Our Fulham collection route doggy driver brings tales of his Fulham travels back to our Surrey-based day care centres. Which in turn leads to wider sports debate and banter among the team.

Will Mo Farah win gold at the World Athletic Championships (he did, twice)? Will Andy Murray win the US Tennis Open (he didn’t, again…)? And who’s favourite for the 2015 Rugby World Cup? England and Australia are looking pretty good right now (I have links with both so am watching keenly), but we won’t find out until the action starts later this month.

Either way, the dogs here at Bruce’s Doggy Day Care aren’t remotely interested, preferring instead to focus on their own sporting antics. Ranging from maddest Mongrel, to springiest Spaniel, fastest Foxhound, and wettest Weimaraner.

Whatever you’re into this month – enjoy September!
