This weekend is going to be scorchio but with a decent breeze.
The Runs are all open until 11pm so you can walk in the cool of the evenings.

Please only use the water for drinking and not for washing/cooling dogs. You can let them cool off in the burns if you need to.

The team is away this weekend but we are still available to take calls and deal with emergencies.

With fabulous weather on the way and the entire Dogrun team heading off for a weekend of camping, old cars, and bad food, at Glamis Castle this weekend, Matt has been busy cutting the grass and tidying up.
There’s plenty of drool fuel so that’s sorted as well.

The Runs will be open until 11pm for the next week so you can come in the cool of the evening or unfashionably early.

Last night Matt did a night shift to get Harry’s Run cut before the weather came back today.
It may not be billiard table smooth but the little doggies won’t feel like they’re in the jungle.

Edges left wild as usual.

Am I the only one to notice that next weeks heatwave stops at Gretna?

Yesterday evening Matt got busy with the tractor and managed to tame some of the wilderness that suddenly appeared when he was on holiday.
The tracks are cut, Libbys Run is nice and neat but Harry’s Run is still to be shorn. That will happen as soon as it’s dry enough not leave grass stacks everywhere.

Thanks for your patience but I’m sure the doggies love to adventure in

I had an amazing encounter the other day when I was saying hello to a lovely spaniel puppy in Rouken Glen Park.
The owner was saying how it’d been a shame she can’t let him off the lead enough to do recall training but she’s found this amazing place recently and her pup has come on leaps and bounds, literally if my clothes were anything to go by.

Before I could say a word she said “Dodside Dogruns! I’ve been telling everyone how great it is”

Needless to say I was really happy to hear it, and it was fun to introduce myself as well.

Don’t keep it to yourself, keep spreading the word about the original and best dog walking fields around.

When the water butt manufacturer described the taps as ‘consumable items’ I don’t think this is what they had in mind 🤣🤣

They’re cheap, easily fitted, and I keep a few in the drawer just in case so please don’t worry if your doggy has a chew, just let me know like this customer did after her dog forgot they had a butler on hand.

I don’t often describe the weather as wonderfully dreich but that’s exactly how it is today.
Not cold, but lots of steady rain which has been desperately needed for weeks.
Unlike other fields, Dodside doesn’t turn to mush, or a boggy mess (except the bits that are meant to be) so while the ground gets a decent drink the dogs can still have all the fun.

Water supply - update

I got home and checked our well and we are okay for the moment.

Everything was filled to the brim this week, and the bowser has been slowly topped up so there is about 2 weeks supply if everyone using the Runs is careful about the usage.

Please -
Only fill the water bowl with as much as your dogs need.
Please do NOT use the water for washing dogs, or cooling them by soaking them - use the draining ditch/ burn on the right as you leave instead.

Without being pessimistic, we will get back to a normal damp summer soon enough so if everyone is careful we won’t run out of drool fuel.

In an emergency please come up to the house and use my hose to cool hot dogs. No one wants them suffering but the only way of getting drinking water out to the Runs is to tow it out there.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your support and understanding.

Grass cutting tonight from 7pm so the Runs are closed.
The Big Field is open though.

By popular demand the edges will be left wild for the sniffing and adventuring pleasure of the most important visitors.

It may not be summer, but it’s close enough.

As we enter the longer days and better weather the Runs are getting busier so can I just remind everyone of a few basics:

The water supply in the Runs is limited so please, drool fuel only and not for washing stuff.

Please make sure the tap’s not dripping and if the water is low, or the tap is faulty or damaged then let me know and I can refill it or fit a new tap straight away (I keep spares)

The walk out and in is ‘keep to the right’ so everyone has space.

It’s lovely to see happy hounds and relaxed owners so enjoy.

I was out with the tractor to get the entrance tracks tidied up now I’ve read the instructions and got it adjusted correctly.

Much neater and easier to keep that way. All ready for what looks like a beautiful day.
