Muddy Paws, Chester

Muddy Paws, Chester WALKIES - From 10am - 4pm WEEKDAYS
NO OVERNIGHT BOARDING

I am a dog owner (and cat!) and understand how hard it can be for working families to own a dog.
(16)

A member of NarpsUK (National Association of Registered Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers)...and fully insured by Pet Business Insurance (Policy PBB0124103)...
For the Chester area...Muddy Paws takes dogs on walkies, dog days out and feeds cats and other small The guilt of leaving them 'home alone' can put many people off dog ownership, but a caring dog walker can be the answer to any problems....as wel

l as protecting your sofa from a bored, frustrated pooch pal!! Muddy Paws can help with walkies plus furry friends on the local parks, canal towpaths and cycle-ways nearby....as well as our own Muddy Paws paddock in Great Barrow. We also visit forests and beaches when time allows. As a dog owner of a rescued (Dog's Trust) crossbreed Toffee from a small pup, I have hands on experience of dog ownership. The ways they have...early training, barking at the door knocking, chasing cats (or scared of cat's if it's Toffee!), sniffing dubious substances during walks and finding EVERY muddy puddle...these are all dog characteristics that I am well used to. I carry a doggy First Aid kit on all walks. Walks will be tailored to individual preferences. I am fully CRB checked (police records check). I hold liability insurance that will protect owners, the public and your dog during walkies. I am a member of NARPSUk (National Association of Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers) and abide by their approved Code of Practice. I am more than happy to feed cats and other small animals in the home over holidays. I have always found my own cats happier in the home during my own holidays and, as long as someone comes in to feed, clean litter trays, play and cuddle, your absence need not be too stressful for them, and other small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, fish (no cuddling though!) and hamsters.

So…that’s me done for my Summer holidays…CLOSED TILL TUESDAY 6th August 😊

Me, Toff and Mr MP are off to sunny 😬Scotland again…R&R via mountain walks, whiskey and haggis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿…and hopefully can get a Wi-Fi signal so I can watch crappy Netflix movies if it rains 😂

See you on TUES 6/8 for the Autumn/Winter term 😭👋

Friday walkies…

Summer arrived for the day…and it was off to check on the newly restored Snowball the Pig, Foxy McFoxface (these are their official names btw) and the new Fairy Glen 🧚 at the Countess Park ☺️…all lovely 🥰…this park would be used more if you could park properly 🙈

Hot day = the shade and water of the Gowy ✔️
Marley and his new best mate Freddie shared the ball again 😊…and ran down the tracks together…and jumped in the river together 😂…proper little bromance 💙…while the girls Foo and Daisy watched on not wanting to get their hair wet 😆

Me and Foo were flagging a bit by afternoon walkies 🥵…so a gentle wander around Caldy did the trick. Fern was sensible in her cool coat 👍…although she wasn’t so cool when a removal van and car went by 😂…if she was off lead…they’d have been rounded up for sure 🤣

Thursday walkies…

The lovely wildflower meadow of Etna Park was first stop off…nothing to see here…just a bit of flower trampling 😳…but there’s LOTS so we’ll probably get away with it 😬

Warming up nicely, so it was off for a stream dip at Rivacre ☺️ Well…the two Amber’s genteelly dipped their paws…while Wils and Fredster took the more ‘all in, full body’ approach 🙈😂…the boys were ever so cool though 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

Traffic queuing in Huntington as usual these days 😫…so Caldy Valley again 🫣 To be fair, it’s perfect for a hot day…Mr Heron (or is it Mrs?) was on his perch…and we meandered up an down the paths with lots of stop offs for sniff ‘n’ paw dip in the stream 😊

Hot again tomorrow 🥵

Wednesday walkies…

A fairly calm Wednesday for a change…mainly because some of the gang are on holiday, and Aunty Anne was back 🙌

Toffee was on a mission to get rid of that ‘just groomed’ smell…so it was grass roll with Ellie, shrub sniff with Freddy and snaffle as many treats as possible with Dizzy 😂…she smells of grass, shrubs and fishy treats now 🙈

On to the Paddock…for zoomies and cool down in the pool. I decided on minimal water, just enough for paw dips…and everyone stayed pretty dry except one who likes to get their head in even when it’s shallow 🫤…bet you can guess who needed a towelling? 💦 😆

Wealstone Lane park was a nice end…we checked out the beautifully trimmed hedges…and cooled off under the Sycamore Gap style tree 🌳

Meanwhile…Daisy and Amber were meeting Betty and having a ride in Aunty Anne’s car! 🤩 Big excitement for sure…they played bark as much as possible to awaken Betty’s neighbours (only MP’ers can do this to perfection 😂), treat trails round the trees and try to access the allotments (luckily the gate is closed 😂)…WELCOME BACK Aunty Anne…we missed you 🥰

Tuesday walkies…

A super busy Tuesday meant a bit of Paddock overkill today for Foo, Wilson and Freddie 🙈…but we walked clockwise first visit, and anticlockwise second to confuse them 😂…and they seemed happy enough 🤣

Before that though, we got to a soggy Westminster Park 💦 where the cricket groundsmen were trying to retrieve the wicket from under an inch of puddle 😆

Paddock was wet too…but lovely’clean wet’…no mud apart from the molehills 🐨 (⬅️not quite a mole but you get the gist 😂)
Clockwise visit was frantic ball chase for Rosie, Freddie and Basil…while the rest of us…me, Daisy, Amber Beagle, Amber Cockerpoo, Wilson and Foo…were more sedate…just sniffing and rolling sensibly ☺️

Anti-clockwise was pretty sedate too…except for Angel who just HAS to zoomie when she’s let off the lead 😂 We left her to it…zoomies are for before 2pm only 😂

Monday walkies…

A confusing day for Wilson today who joined us on a Monday due to his house move (not that he knew…but he was picked up from old house and delivered home to new one 😂…he was happy as long as his family, bed and food bowl were there 😆)
The day started in lovely sunshine at the woods ☺️…we sniffed the ferns and jumped on fallen logs…perfect 🙂
Then on to Green Lane…more sniffing of course…and we found one of my favourite signs …’CYCLE PATH CLOSED’ 🥳…except the footpath was too, so we got no benefit 😐
Hoole Park to end…the rain was just starting 🫤…but enough time for Florrie to meet Uncle Wilson 🧡, Fern to lose 2 tennis balls 😆 and Ellie to snaffle a couple of extra treats from under my nose when I wasn’t looking 🙈😂

Wellies tomorrow 🙄

12/07/2024

Friday walkies…

A grim end to a mostly grim week (except Monday which was lovely ☀️)…and at Westminster Park there was a slight ‘moment’ when everyone scattered due to a flipping supersonic, superNOISY Typhoon randomly flying over us!! 🙈
Luckily…we were on the footgolf course, and no one left the first green 😂…but a reminder there how unexpected things can scare the dogs 😭…I’ll bring my anti-aircraft missiles next time they upset the crew!! ☹️
The Paddock next where anyone with wavy hair got covered in grass cuttings 🤷🏼‍♀️…and a heartwarming moment where Freddie (not normally in on a Friday) lost his ball and was sniffing around looking for it, and Marley (not met Freddie much before) disappeared to the other side of the field and found it for him 😍…I mean, deliberately found it and bought it back to him 🥰 No one can ever tell me dogs don’t make friends…they do 🧡…and Marley proved it today 🤩
Last walkies of the day was a ‘fresh’ (that means wet 💦) Caldy Valley ☺️
We sniffed the nettles (which always seem extra perky after a shower 😕) and annoyed the ducks 🫣…and met a lovely old dog on wheels 😍…he had zero Road sense 😂…we got out of the way fast! 🤣

Thursday walkies…

Feeling a bit teary 🥲 tonight because of Belle 💔…but here’s todays rainy pics…

Moor Lane first (not been since Billy was with us!)…we said hi to the goats and the feral Husky 😂 (thankfully he’s tied on a long line 🤣)
Hoole Park next…we tried, and failed for good group photos 😆
And Limewood Fields to end…Angel needed to do a garden gate inventory…EVERY SINGLE ONE 🙈

The worst news tonight I’m afraid 😞
Another Muddy Pawser has left us for the stars 💫…rest easy now beautiful Belle 💔

Belle had my heart from the minute she sauntered up the MP HQ drive all wiggly bummed and gorgeous 💕
She remains the smartest dog I’ve ever met…she knew what I was thinking before I thought it 😂…it’s a Collie thing…but boy, she did it good!! 😊
We had some adventures in those early MP days…Belle was my ‘showdog’ 😂…SO well trained and well behaved, she made me look good too 😂…her owners worked so hard with her…she was perfect 🤩

Belle had some health problems in recent years…joint problems which led to many operations and eventually, a back leg amputation. Despite the pain, she always had a waggy tail for me when I saw her…a proper little trooper 🥰
Just very recently she was diagnosed with a heart tumour though 😭…and today she left us 🌈

Go find the MP hollow over the bridge 🌈 Belly Bot…big bro Sam 🧡 and lots of friends there to welcome you…you will forever have a place in my heart though…a very fine dog indeed 😞

Much love to Sue and Joe…she was an absolute credit to you both 💔…sending you all my love x

Wednesday walkies…

A bit sparse on photos today…but it was a good day 😃 as Auntie Anne was back to save us all 🙌

First…confusion as I left them inside the park so I could get a pic of the ‘Hoole Park’ sign outside the park 🤷🏼‍♀️…they watched (it’s literally right there 😆) and forgave me for a Sushi treat 🤣

Then…AUNTIE ANNE came along 😃
Just a reacquaint today…there was MUCH excitement and they followed her around like an episode of Long Lost Family 😆 It was actually lovely to see how the pre-Covid gang remembered her totally…dogs are AMAZING 🥰…and Wednesdays are set to get a whole lot easier from next week as Anne will be taking a couple of the gang for walkies…I may actually be on time for a change!! 😆

And finally, running late as per my normal Wednesday schedule 🙈…it was a run round the clover fields to end the day…ball chase, poo bin sniff and say hello to EVERY other dog on the park (Bruce) 🤗

Welcome back Auntie Anne 🤩…the gang PROMISE to be on best behaviour for your walkies 😎…but their version of ‘best behaviour’ is not always the same as ours…BEWARE!! 😬😂

Tuesday walkies…

Monday - Fans on 🪭- SUMMER!
Tuesday - Coats on 🧥- late AUTUMN…with added heat 🙈…Will get my snow boots ready for tomorrow 😂

Anyways…a grim day…but the gang don’t get despondent…they just carry on as normal…and here’s the proof 🤗

Friday walkies…

Well what an unexpectedly beautiful day it was!!…my weather app definitely wasn’t telling me Summer was making an appearance…so in the wrong clothing as usual 🥵…me and the gang headed to the Countess Park for a mooch in the shadow of the poplar trees 🌳

More mooching next…this time at the Paddock where Marley wouldn’t share his ball 😂, Dave woofed at the builders (about time they finished tbh…typical builders…I wouldn’t want THAT bill 🤣), Foo tried to get Marley’s ball but couldn’t…so treat bag stared instead 🤣, Freddy rolled and Daisy lay in the ‘spatchcock chicken’ pose 🐓…nice and cool on her belly ☺️…oh…and I got bitten by a horsefly 😐

Traffic was bad so it was Caldy Valley (again 🙈) for Fern…by Friday afternoon I just can’t cope with waiting 🚗🚕🚙🤯
It’s lovely there though…plenty to sniff at, a cool stream to cool the paws…and caterpillars 🤷🏼‍♀️…luckily no one trod on him, and off he wiggled 🐛

Have a lovely weekend everyone 🙂

Thursday walkies…

Sorry…bit late…been watching Andy Murray’s Wimbledon retirement stuff…total legend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🎾

So…voted ✔️

Flower meadow walk…lovely gleeful running and rolling✔️

Park walk (not many photos as we were being dive bombed by two ‘lively’ off lead terriers so I had a ‘manage the situation’ job on my hands…we glared at the owner mostly and walked in the opposite direction 😂) ✔️

Park walk 2 - mainly spent trying to ensure Daisy didn’t roll in fox poo 💩 😂…she didn’t ✔️

Wednesday walkies…

Perfect dog walk weather 🫶…and our busiest day of the week (cavalry coming next week though - Aunty Anne 🙌) began at trusty Hoole Park which we like because you can park off-road easily, see what’s coming from all directions and get visited by other dog walker dogs like Jinx (who knows how to behave…and does good treat begging too) 😂🧡

Paddock next…again, great parking, see all around and ZERO ‘other’ dogs…which we also like A-LOT 😆

And we finished at Limewood Fields…guess what?!!…perfect parking, no corners to negotiate and, although there are other dogs, by walk 3 of the day we are experts at avoiding them 🙌

Unsociable? Us? YOU BET WE ARE 😂

02/07/2024

Tuesday walkies…

Drizzly rain to start…we took a look at the newly surfaced tennis courts at Westminster Park…but they were boring, so it was off into the ‘wildlife area’ 🌳
Foo has had a poorly paw, Bella has stiff back legs, Toffee is slowing down now she’s 13 and Wilson has joint probs sometimes too…so it was a gentle mooch…until Wils rebelled and went for a run up and down the BMX track 😂

Over at the Paddock there was an incident 😐
While I was merrily putting on Daisy’s ‘stay clean’ jacket…Amber 2 took her opportunity…and polished off the majority of the treat bag contents single handedly 😮…so we had to share the Gravy Bone biscuits out instead…everyone (except Amber 2 🙈) got half each 🤷🏼‍♀️…and Amber 2 was in the doghouse for ‘making the whole class suffer’ 😂 We forgave her…but she may have tummy ache tonight 🤢

And finally at Hoole Park…a nice sniff sesh in the clover ☘️…Holly was happy that the treat bag had been refilled 🎉🤣

01/07/2024

Monday walkies…

Back from my weekend away and feeling a little jaded 😴, we kept things simple today with park walks near last pick ups…meaning that, after Toff had a trot around Dicksons Drive field (she’s jaded too 😂)…Hoole Park and Caldy Valley were the next stop offs 😊

Dave kept us waiting as he had to sniff EVERY car park bollard 🙄…and then we were off…Freddie leading the charge, Sherlock not far behind, Ellie grass rolling despite being attached to me…and Dave…still at the bollards 😂

Huntington next…an interesting place these days 😆
The ongoing year long road closures/pipe laying works still causing traffic havoc…and now, following the gas explosion in the road, Cadent vans and mini digs and 4 way traffic lights dotted about…not to mention the cigarette fire at the pub which has trashed the entrance…crikey Huntington…what’s next?…a plague of frogs 🐸😆
Anyway…we made it into the park…not a Severn Trent, Cadent, fire service operative or heavenly plague in sight 😅…we mooched in the Summer rain ☺️…before we made our way home through the plague of traffic jams 😂

Thursday walkies…

A bit of a rush job tonight as have been ‘out out’ for Connor MP’s 25th birthday meal (how on earth my youngest son is 25 is beyond me…I’M NOT THAT OLD 😫…except I am 😖)

Anyways…it was a lovely dog day with no stupidly hot temperatures…just lovely blue skies, fluffy clouds and refreshing breeze 👌…just how we like it ☺️

Wednesday walkies…

Well. What a GORGEOUS day!! ☀️

First of all…thankyou to those that were able to cancel 👍 I will always get to dogs for their walkies…but on an unnaturally hot day like today…it’s deffo a case of ‘the less the better’ so that van times are minimal for those in 🙂…and we can get to those cool, safe places as efficiently as possible 🙌

Today went like this:
Walk 1: Cooler and a nice breeze…tongues were out 😛…but it was a pleasant warm day park trek 🙂
Walk 2: Warming up rapidly…we dodged from tree to tree, cooled tummies on the shaded grass and tried to calm excited Labradors 🙄…not an easy task 😂…but throwing them in the pool seemed to stop their shenanigans 😂
Walk 3: CANCELLED 🥵 Only Ellie and Freddy…so we got the snuffle mat and HQ garden pool out instead 👍

Thankfully…it’s all back to normal Summer tomorrow…some slipstream thing from somewhere cooler is going to make it rain in Scotland 😂…but we’ll be much more comfortable in Chester…all good 😊 (sorry Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)

26/06/2024

☀️WALKIES?!!!☀️

Last day of one of our Great British heatwaves 🙄…and I will be taking the dogs that need a walk up to the Paddock at lunchtime for a mooch, grass roll and cooling paw dip in the pool ☺️…as the real stifling weather temps are due to hit from early afternoon 🥵

Some, who have hoomans at home, have already cancelled…so if you feel that’s best then do let me know asap too…they are always better off at home on these ‘waited for it all winter but now it’s here we don’t like it’ days 😂

I will, of course, take all precautions for the conditions for everyone in…but totally agree if you wish to cancel ☀️

Proper dog walk weather resumes from Thursday 🙌😂

25/06/2024

Tuesday walkies…

Day 2 of ‘British 3 day heatwave’ management (back to normal British slightly rubbish Summer temperatures on Thursday I believe 😆)…and we started in the shade of the tree canopy in the woods 👍…a new bit too…although I hadn’t realised how downhill it was on the outward trek…it nearly killed me coming back 😆
So next walk needed to be less strenuous (for the elderly human 👵🏻)…and Fir Tree Lane fitted the bill perfectly ☺️…level ground…shady trees…squirrels 🤷🏼‍♀️…we shortened walkies a little, but everyone enjoyed a snifter and squirrel stare-off 🐿️ 🐶
Caldy Valley is always perfect on a hot day too…Wilson finally got a swim 💦 and the girls got a shower off him when he got out 😂…he’s a one-dog cooling system 🙌…until he jumped in the pond and scared off the heron anyway 🤣…sorry Mr Heron…but it was just TOO tempting 💦😂

24/06/2024

Monday walkies…

Hottest day of the year so far 🙌…the temperature hovered between 23° and 25° on Cliff’s dashboard…just below the official MP cut off of 28…so off we went…with precautions 😇

Luckily Monday is a quieter day…and with Freddie off on his holibobs, and Frankie/Florrie off on a pamper sesh (see last pic 😍😍)…we got everyone together and headed for the Paddock 😎

The van crate fans were on full, the cool mats were down, the cool collars were fresh out the fridge, the water carrier was refreshed with lovely cool tap water, the farmer had changed the big water butt too so plenty to last us, Fern was kitted up in her cool coat too (these are really good on hot days 👍…the evaporating water acts like sweat does on a human to cool the dog as they can only naturally ‘sweat’ through paws and tongue…well worth investing in 👍…Toffee has one - I forgot it 🤦‍♀️😆) and we were good to go 😃

Cooler tomorrow I think…but still warm…will get everything in the fridge again ready 🥶

24/06/2024

Well…after a looonnnggg wait for some decent weather…here we go with all the problems 😂

Today’s temperatures look to be in the ‘orange zone’…so I will still be calling to walk dogs, but it’ll be going to somewhere cool with shade/water available or the Paddock where we have everything needed for a snifter WITHOUT ball play though (sorry ball maddos…but it’s for your own good ☺️)

Like a bad smell, I will turn up to walk dogs (because I do not like to let anyone down if possible)…
BUT!!!
If YOU think it’s too hot for YOUR dog - PLEASE DO CANCEL (no charge) 👍…you know them best and if you are home, they are probably better on the cold kitchen tiles ☺️
I can also do quick ‘garden breaks’ if needed…so you tell me what you think is best for the dog 🐶

If we go into the red temperatures, I will probably go to garden visits only…but be assured…whatever we do each day, it will be calm, cool and with the crews welfare paramount ✊

Bloody sun…wish it would rain 🙈😂🤣

21/06/2024

Friday walkies…

A nice quiet Friday was needed today after an eventful week of being face down in the mud, visits to bathroom showrooms and actual hot sunshine appearing by surprise 😂…and the Friday gang didn’t disappoint ☺️

Starting with a nice, sniffy trek to Queens Road Park…we hardly saw anyone…perfectly chilled 😎

Then…we tried the new ‘dog bubbles’ (yes…somewhere there is a factory making these 😆)…but the Friday lunch gang were pretty underwhelmed really 🫧…so we carried on with normal Paddock life instead 🎾💦…and were horrified to find the latest victim of the tractor-mower 😱…yes…the severed, dismembered Halloween foot has been officially, finally and completely severed, dismembered AND unstuffed 😆 RIP grotesque foot …well miss you 🦶😆

A little trip to Farndon where we gawped at the oddly situated, but very nice new house by the river…before an explore down the path…where Wils disappeared down the bank 💦, Fern wanted too but it’s steep and I was attached (and she’s not as strong as Dave 🙈😆) and Freddy trotted happily at the rear…until the treat bag opened and he was first in the queue 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

20/06/2024

Thursday walkies…

With Wilson at his GrandHoomans this week, we took the opportunity to nip Pedro, Frida and Dizzy over to The Gowy for a change…and oh how they made the most of it 😐
There was river dipping (fabulous on a hot Summer Solstice morning ☀️)…and, in all the excitement, Pedro/Frida took a trip over the bridge (you know…the one they’re not supposed to go over 😑)…and Dizzy took a trip into the bathroom showroom for a look round 😁
The lady was very nice…says it happens all the time 😆…but now we can park there, I will have those ‘eyes in the back of my head’ firmly turned on now 👀😂

A leafy lane was needed next as things were hotting up 🥵…and a leafy lane they got ☺️…just a nice gentle trot up to the poo bin and back…nothing too strenuous…and plenty of water stops 💦

And a leafy track to end the day. I decided that Wilson should sit this one out (much to his disgust…but he’d been out all day in the hot weather, so he stayed with Toffee eating chews and watching Slovenia v Serbia ⚽️) 🤷🏼‍♀️…so it was just Hols and Ange for a trek down Millfield Lane bridle path. Ange was IN the bushes…I mean IN in 😂…and Hols found a bog 🤷🏼‍♀️…we might not go there again for a bit 🙈😂

Wednesday walkies…

A new ball 🙌
As aquired by Mr MP from some builders merchants (something to do with the Euros…builders like football apparently 😆)…so we had our own Euros…which Frida won ⚽️ (Pedro was disqualified for cheating 🤷🏼‍♀️😂)…everyone else preferred mooching…a lovely start to the day ☺️

On to say Hi to the horses 👋 and for Freddie to shower us all at the Paddock next (very welcome Fred…thanks 🥵)
There was rolling in the grass, sniffing the verges, a little grass munching, professional treat begging and, obvs, scuba diving in the pool (nothing in there…good job really with six doglets cooling down their paws 🐾)

And running late (it’s Wednesday 🤗…Aunty Anne coming to save us soon 😅)…we returned to Hoole Park for more of the same ☺️ The rotting grass cutting compost was rechecked 😐 (why do dogs love that?? 🤷🏼‍♀️), Bruce said Hello to EVERY dog on the park 😂…and a big cool bowl of water was the perfect ending 😃

19/06/2024

Forgot to turn the tap off and it’s overflowing 💦…Freddie just needs a snorkel…he’s underwater 😂

18/06/2024

Tuesday walkies…

Another ‘hoody required’ kinda day 🙄 started with a gentle trek alongside the Dee at Saltney…we decided NOT to try to make it to Offas D**e though 😂

On to the Paddock…where Foo inspected the toy box and was a bit disappointed 😂 The tractor mower has seen off a few favourites 🙈…so time to stock up a bit methinks!! If anyone has any lying around that they’re not interested in at home…chuck ‘em our way…we don’t mind teeth marks or missing squeakers 😂

And Caldy Valley was a nice mooch’y end to the day 😊…our oldies need patience from the younger crew members…and Angel, Foo and Wilson were PERFECTLY patient while me and Holly caught up 👵🏻😂…thanks guys 🤩

Monday walkies…

Terrible photos today…as there was ‘drama’ as only MP does it 🫣

All fine to start…safe and sound for a morning Paddock visit where we pottered…and played with the severed foot toy from many Halloweens ago 🦶😆

Then ‘a nice trip out’ to Rivacre…just lovely…EXCEPT ‘other’ people go there 🙈
A certain large black Labrador we know 😬 was SO happy to see a Golden Retriever bounce round the corner…that he did an epic lunge, completely taking me (on the other end of a lead) off my feet into the mud in a slapstick comedy fall 🙈
Thankfully the mud broke my fall (ironic given how much I moan about ‘the mud’ 😂) and the Golden’s owner retrieved my mud caked phone, while I got up ungracefully, and quickly made an embarrassed, mud soaked retreat 🫣

Honestly 🙈…it would have been TikTok viral standard had anyone caught it on camera 🙈…Dave had a severe talking to back at the van (while Freddie, Sherlock and Daisy sniggered at my mud soaked clothes 😐)

Confidence now in the gutter (or mud really? 🤔)…we tried to avoid EVERY PERSON AND DOG next walkies 😅 Fine by Fern and Ellie, they can entertain themselves 😌…but Frankie found friends to chase with ☺️…thankfully NOT a Golden Retriever or Labrador mix though 😂

14/06/2024

Friday walkies…

Stumbling into the weekend again (how do the weeks go so fast?!! 😳) and it was quite a nice warm day…I was inappropriately dressed as usual (ready for rain that didn’t come 🙈)…I need a new weather app 😂

Off to what used to be a big field, but has now had houses built on it ☹️…spoiling our fun!!…but there’s still enough greenery left for a nice morning trek ☺️…and a lone lovely poppy was there to greet us 🥀…very pretty 🤩

We tried the Venture bathroom place car park next for our trip to The Gowy…reliably informed that we are allowed while the builders are pulling down the old haunted house…it was good!! Parked up, lots of woofing, through an overgrown field…and onto the park 👍…and no parking ticket on our return 🙌…must be ok 👍

The plan…had been Hoole Park for a runaround to end…but I just couldn’t face the ridic traffic (knowing I’d have to sit in it again after too)…so we turned onto Caldy Valley, out of the traffic line, and I apologised to Fern as she gets to go there lots 🫤 She didn’t mind. Added bonus of wheel watching for a bit at the end too 😆…Fern was happy 😃
