Way too hot to be doing our usual walks and it's only 10 am!! Taking it real steady today plenty of shade by a nice little steam and lots of sniffy games to help burn off energy.
So yesterday I got to Megs walk to realise Bailey had stolen the ball out of my coat pocket 🤦🏻♀️
So I pulled out the sniffing games.
Does this mean Meg was getting less exercise? Not at all. Infact quite the opposite sniffing uses more energy than running/walking.
Some benefits of scent games:
🐾 Mentally stimulating.
🐾Physically stimulating.
🐾Low impact.
🐾20 minutes of sniffing is the equivalent of 60 minutes walking.
🐾Sniffing triggers the release of endorphins, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters that induce feelings of pleasure and relaxation in dogs.
🐾Brings down their stress and anxiety levels.
Safe to say today was a wet one. I think only Benji boy enjoyed the walk and everyone was stuck on lead. Even had to poor the water put of our boots afterwards 😂
I don't feel any body could ever make a video that captures a dogs cheekiness as much as this.. I love it!
How could I capture Megs personality.... like this!
So after spending a small fortune on toys to help enrich and burn some of the abundance of energy this little lady has it's safe to say I finally won. Yesterday I pulled out the tug-e-nuff toys and its safe to say that the score was: tug-e-nuff 1 Meg 0.
Uh oh that cold white stuffs back!! Ida clearly hated the stuff.

Nice chilled Fridays and Rosie tiny twigs. No legs were battered because Rosie is possibly the only considerate dog we have when it comes to beating us up 😂
