From Wednesday last week, I didn’t have a car, so Wednesday and Thursday’s walk were on the common from Preston Grove.

It made a nice change and we walked down to the farm for a coffee both days. R had a great time on Wednesday running about and picking up sticks. L1 and L had a ball running together. They enjoyed splashing in the streams and sniffing about.

Last week was the last for Paws and Claws, the business is now closed. It’s been a pleasure looking after the doggies and chatting to their owners.

I have really enjoyed going to different places for walks, playing in the garden and having cuddles.

I wish all the dogs and their owners a very happy Christmas and best wishes for the new year.

Steph and Scooby. 😊🐶

Today we just had L2 here. We had a very wet walk at Horton Park but the dogs still enjoyed it and had a sniff about. After the walk, we popped into the Old Moat Garden Center for a coffee.

They were warm and cosy in the robes and spent the afternoon snoozing.

Thursday’s fun.

L2 is here for the day today. We walked at Hatchlands with a friend and her L.

It was a very enjoyable walk despite the rain, hailstones and thunder storm. The dogs found it a little unsettling but soon carried on walking and were fine. They enjoyed the stream and the puddles and sniffing about.

When we returned home, I gave them a warm shower and wrapped them up in the drying robes. They have been snoozing on the sofa.

Today we have all the L’s and they have had lots of fun.

This morning we played in the garden for a short while before going over to the secure field. They had a great time at the field dipping in the pond, running after a ball and chasing each other.

When we returned home, they had a chew each and returned to play. I threw pieces of cheese in the grass, which they enjoyed finding.

They are now snoozing 😴

Today we had L1, usually we have three L’s on a Thursday, so as we just had L1 I decided to do a morning walk as well as the secure field this afternoon.

We went back up to Box Hill ( we were there yesterday) and they had great fun running in the leaves. They had a drink out of the trough and they played together in the grassy area near the trough.

They had a rest while I had some lunch, then we went to the field. I got a ball out which they both loved, L is much faster than S but always drops it, then S picks it up.

We are now home and they are resting on the sofa.

Today L and R are here. We walked up at Box Hill this morning with a friend and her S. They had a fabulous time running around in the leaves.

Today we had L2 here.

We met friends up at Headley for a walk. The dogs had a lot of fun running around and sniffing about.
L found a ball and carried it for a while, dropping it to sniff, eventually she lost it. She then concentrated on picking up sticks., some were very long but she tried her best to carry them.

When we returned home, they had a nice warm shower and then I put the drying robes on them.

They enjoyed pate on the licky mats.

Wow, it’s been hot today. We were joined by J, R, T and L.

We walked on the common early before it got too hot. My son came with us to give me a hand, which was really nice, they love him, they got excited when he ran, they ran after him. They thoroughly enjoyed cooling off in the pool.

When we returned home I gave them all a rinse off after being in the pond. R had a splash in the paddling pool and we played ball for a very short while.

We spent the afternoon in the cool of the house with the occasional wonder in the garden.
