The Adventures of Kelpie Welfare's Angus

24/09/2023

Dad’s going to Italy in a fortnight and he says before he goes he’s going to squeeze as much adventure in as he can for us. I had the best day yesterday. I ran over lots of mountains with him on his bike. I’m super fit now and I think it was more like he was trying to chase me!!! 😂

Me and dad went to Scotland on our first big adventure together! I nearly didn’t make it as I cut my paw in the kitchen a week before and had to wear an annoying cone to stop me from licking it. But the vet gave me the all clear just before we were due to set off.

We stopped off at the the grandparents on the way to see Jasper who was dad’s very first dog, who stayed with them when Dad moved away. We had to say goodbye to Jasper as he was very poorly and I had a lovely afternoon with him in the garden in the sunshine.

We were so sad we didn’t feel like leaving for Scotland but knew that Jasper would want us to have all the fun in the world. So we set off and I had the best time ever… we done lots of Mountain Biking together every day, eat lots of ice cream and cake and explored lots of new places in the Cairngorms and Torridon. I love the big beaches in Scotland. Dad can throw my yellow stick real far, too far sometimes and he has to go in the sea to get it back! I’ve been asleep ever since we got back ⛰🚴‍♂️🐕💨🐾💤

Me and dad had the best time in the hills this weekend. I chased him all around the mountains on his bike and we went adventuring into the woods at night. Today I was super tired and we went shopping for a new collar and then had lunch with Gran at my favourite Doggo friendly cafe. Dad bought me some energy bars for when I go on bike adventures with him, they were super yummy and I hope he packs them for our trip to Scotland!

Me and dad are making the most of what’s left of summer… I’m having a great time. He says we’re off in the van for an adventure tomorrow and he packed lots of yummy treats for me, I’m super excited! ⛰🐕💨

Hi Everyone! I haven’t posted for a while as me and dad have been super busy with lots of adventures each weekend and making the most of the summer nights on the moor. I’ve been doing lots of biking with dad and got super fit. So now I’m strong enough to go on big adventures into the mountains. I’m also really well behaved nowadays and dad takes me to all kinds of cafes, pubs and places with other doggos for me to do lots of socialisation. I’ve got a new best friend called Eric and we meet him in the mornings to play on the moor and go to the coffee shop before work. Yep… I’m so good that dad now takes me to work with him!

Hi everyone!!! I’ve been having an awesome summer so far. I love chasing dad early morning on his Mountain Bike. I sleep all day and after dinner every night we go and play on the moor till it’s just about dark 🚴‍♂️🐕💨🐾⛰

We’ve just got back from our trip away in the van. We had the best time! Yesterday I went mountain biking with dad. It was soooooo hot and we didn’t have any Frozzy’s in the van so I had to cool off in all the tarns and streams. I was super tired today so dad went on his own for a little bit and then we had a walk in the fells and lots of cake at the cafe! 🐕⛰🚴‍♂️

Sometimes we just go for a walk and a snooze in the late evening sunshine…

Hi everyone!!! I’ve been having loads of fun with dad on the moor recently…

16/06/2023

Me and dad had the best time tonight… we waited til it was nice and cool and I chased him around the forest! 🚴‍♂️🐕💨

16/06/2023

Yes!!!! Dad’s got a whole multipack of Frozzy’s for the weekend!

Hi everyone! I’ve been super busy every weekend recently helping Dad. He’s been working selling lots of fancy bikes at Mountain Bike events and I’ve been helping him out on the stand, meeting lots of people and getting all the attention. Dad says I’ve been the best boy ever and I’ve been getting lots of my favourite Fozzy’s ice cream as a treat each day to keep me nice and cool in the hot weather.

He’s got the weekend off this weekend and says he’s going to make it up to me and we can go on and adventure. I can’t wait!! 🐕⛰☀️🍦

I had a super fun weekend this bank holiday! Dad had a big surprise for me. He took me to Loweswater and when we arrived in the car park my foster parents were there with their adopted Kelpie, Marley. I haven’t seen Shaun and Ruth for along time and they couldn’t believe how well behaved I was. I loved playing with Marley, finally a friend with as much energy as me. It was great having a buddy to go swimming with too. We had a picnic by the lake and then dad took me for an ice cream to cool off with afterwards and guess what… we bumped into the gang again in Keswick. I didn’t want to share my ice cream though! On Saturday we went Fell running and it was super hot and then on Sunday we walked the Ennerdale horseshoe. I’m super tired again and think my coat has turned even lighter in all this sunshine!

21/05/2023

We had a super time this weekend! I went up lots of big hills and Dad says I’ve gone up 50 Wainrights. I woke him up super early this morning as I was so excited. I’m very tired. Ow though and already in my bed 🐕💤💤💤 ⛰🐾☀️

18/05/2023

Dad says we’re going adventuring at the weekend, so I’m super excited!

14/05/2023

Me and dad had the best time together this weekend! He took me on a big walk yesterday and it was really hot! It was so hot he let me have some of his ice cream. Then it was too warm in the van so last night we slept on a mountain! I woke up supe early because the birds were too loud. We had a swim in the lake and the. Went up some more mountains. Because I was so good all weekend he took me to the pet shop and I chose a new toy. I’m too tired to play with it now though 🐕 💤⛰☀️🍦

12/05/2023

I wish dad would hurry up and fix his hand so I can chase him on his bike!

10/05/2023

Me and Dad headed North at the weekend for a sleepover in the van and lots of hills…

30/04/2023

I’ve had a super busy weekend so far. Yesterday dad and I went to Coniston for a big adventure in the mountains. I was very tired last night, so much so he had to wake me up this morning to head on our next adventure, hiking the Yorkshire Three Peaks. It was very wet, not the best weather for Kelpies!

25/04/2023

Dad still can’t drive with his broken hand. So we had a walk into the forest from home and I went squirrel chasing! 🐿 🐕💨

24/04/2023

Sometimes I have a lie in, Kelpies do get tired! When I do, we go and catch the sunset!

24/04/2023

My favourite thing (besides peanut butter) is catching the sunrise with Dad each morning… we have to get up really early nowadays, I’m not to keen on that!

22/04/2023

Two weeks ago Dad took me on my first big bike ride into the mountains! I’ve been doing lots of training on the moor where the ground is soft so know how to follow his wheel. Now my paws are super tough I can go on big adventures where it’s rocky. Dad says he’s gotta go slow when I’m with him, but I’ll show him! I got to eat lots of flapjack half way round and had a swim in the river afterwards to cool off.

Well Angus fans. It's been almost 4 months since I went to live with my new dad. I have well and truly got my feet under the table and he is smitten, well who wouldn't be! Here are a bunch of photos from my adventures, for your viewing pleasure. Just call me action dog 🤣
