Anyone else find it tricky to get the motivation to get outside in November with the dark mornings, darker evenings and pretty dubious weather much of the time?

Working on the principle of action brings motivation and knowing that ultimately I'll feel much better for getting out I'm setting myself a goal of 5k a day (or more) for the month. Either walking, hiking or running (yes I'm still working on that Couch to 5k!) with a cold dip thrown in here and there for good measure.

Anyone fancy joining in for some encouragement and accountability? Even if that just sounds like are we nuts going out in this! ๐Ÿ˜† Perhaps even a couple of group walks, dips if you fancy and are in the local area.

Your goal would be personal to you and doesn't need to be 5k or anything close to that. Sitting outside with a coffee is still getting outside and feeling the season.

If you fancy it drop a comment in below and I'll reactivate the fb group we had before.

Alternatively you can laugh at me getting soaked most days while I comment on how dark it is!

The end of October has crept up on us and with it we are ashamed to say it but we missed Piper's birthday post.

Piper loves nothing more than cuddling up on the sofa, especially on those rainy days and playing ball reagardless of the weather. If she can get hold of a tennis ball to strip even better! โšฝ

Happy belated birthday Piper, we hope you enjoyed your birthday weekend ๐Ÿพ

Lots of love everyone at Adventure Tails & Trails๐ŸŽ‚

We have a very special Sunday post tonight as we mark the end of an era.

Charlie and Reggie, two of the original Dogworkers said goodbye this week to step into their retirement, though we are certain they won't be making it a quiet one!

These two have been regular faces since the very early days of The Dogworks and it's safe to say they will be hugely missed and leave very big (tiny) paws to fill. Monday mornings, or any other morning for that matter just won't be the same with the boys bursting through the door with Reggie announcing to everyone he's arrived ๐Ÿ˜† while Charlie bimbles round to say hi to all his friends.

The boys have always been keen to give everything ago from snuffle mats and searching through to agility, walks and checking out the latest squeakys to arrive in the unit.

Good luck boys and enjoy finding new squirrels to keep out your garden. Donโ€™t be strangers.

Lots of love

Mandie, Avril, Emma, Chloe and everyone who has been part of The Dogworks over the years

We hope everyone has enjoyed the half term holiday (if you get it that is) We've been a few regular faces down with them being away but we have a bumper load of photos for you none the less ๐Ÿพ

We think the main game this week is how many dogs can you fit on a sofa, although Alfie has been up to his usual tricks and finds Nash a far better option regardless how many sofas, beds, crates and blankets are on over. Others just prefer the floor!

Whatever the choose they certainly enjoy seeing their friends each week and get up to mischief, in the best possible way! How could those faces get up to anything other than fun ๐Ÿ˜‚

Take care if you're walking in the dunes at Irvine beach. I hope your girl is doing ok and is home with you soon Rosie Ramblings https://www.facebook.com/share/19wsfVovNe/ thank you for the warning ๐Ÿพ

UPDATE... Vera is now home and recovering ๐Ÿฅฐ

๐Ÿšจ ADDER ALERT โ€“ IRVINE BEACH PARK / SAND DUNES ๐Ÿšจ

Please be extra vigilant if walking your dogs in the Irvine Beach Park or sand dunes area.

๐Ÿพ My own spaniel, Vera, was bitten by an adder there this morning. Sheโ€™s currently at the vets on a drip to flush out the venom โ€” Iโ€™ll post an update once we know more.

If you suspect an adder bite, act fast and contact a vet immediately.

Signs of an adder bite in dogs:

1. ๐Ÿ Swelling around the wound (often the face, legs, or paws)

2. ๐Ÿ”ด Bleeding or bruising

3. ๐Ÿ˜ข Signs of pain or distress

4. ๐Ÿฆถ Lameness or reluctance to move

Please keep your dogs close and avoid letting them run through long grass or dunes where adders might be basking.

Please share this post to make people aware, Stay safe everyone! โค๏ธ

Sorry about the lack of our normal Sunday post the last couple of weeks but on a very wet and miserable Monday morning there's nothing like the Adventure Tails & Trail gang to brighten things up and bring a smile.

It was lovely to see Lola back this week after her holiday (that month flew past!) and weโ€™ve been celebrating Blair, Nero and Hamishโ€™s birthdays as well as playing dodge the rain all week.

Weโ€™ve had scent games, taste tests, searching fun then the old favourites bitey face and wave your legs in the air like you just donโ€™t care! All before cuddling down with friends. ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿพ

Our last birthday for September (sorry we're a couple of days late) is the ever handsome Blair as he turns a very frightening 3! Honestly how has that happened ๐Ÿค”

Blair is one of those dogs who is just kind through and through, a pleasure to have round the unit ๐Ÿ’ž

We hope you've had a good birhday weekend Blair and we'll have a extra treat waiting for you when we see you ๐ŸŽ‚

Lots of love everyone at Adventure Tails & Trails ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅพ

Over the last few months Nero has turned has paw to Hoopers, Mantrailing and been one of the volunteers on our secret project and it has been lovely to see him having so much fun with his Mum ๐Ÿพ
