What does your dog walker do on the weekend you might wonder. 🤔 Well, I'm still dog walking! If you didn't already know, I have three of my own dogs. Watson, the back and white one is from Cyprus. You've probably seen him on here a lot recently as he had a cancerous lump removed in May and so many people have been asking how he's doing. As you can see, he is doing well! His scar is almost completely healed. Marco, the brown dog who is also from Cyprus, is a noisy nutter. We think he might be part Bavarian Mountain Hound, but we're not sure what else. Any ideas? And Maya, the blondie, is from Egypt. She's a bit of a nervous nellie, but she absolutely loves her walks and playing with her friends. Maya and Marco are reactive so if you do see us out together, we appreciate a bit of space. Marco was attacked multiple times years ago and he can get frustrated if other dogs come rushing up to him or if he can't say hello, and Maya is just generally quite nervous. We found her on the streets of Egypt, so we have no idea where she came from. I met Watson and Marco in their rescue in 2020 when I worked there. Marco was one of the neighbour's hunting dogs, but he turned up at the rescue gates sick and malnourished. Watson was a pound dog due to be PTS, but was saved with another dog.
We like to go on little adventures on the weekends, and this morning we went to Woodbury Common. I showed the gang where my Grandad used to train as a Royal Marine many years ago, and we explored a little bit. We can't go too far as Watson is getting older (11 this month!!) but he does love a bit of exploration. I love giving my crew a good life after all they've been through, and I know they appreciate everything. Our weekend walks are their favourite, and mine too!
