A lovely stroll through the red zone this afternoon. The sun came out so the dogs were only too happy to pause in the shade and dip their toes in the water. Their post-dip romp through the fields had them nearly dry by home time.

Morning walk through the forest with this gorgeous pack of pooches. We bumped into my new mate Paul from Mitre 10 Ferrymead (the very helpful gentleman who helped me decide which timber to order for the pergola I built last weekend). Paul was amazed at how calm and well behaved the Checkers dog were and I was very proud.

Back on the trails today after a couple of days off. My Wednesday morning bunch were only too happy to be chauffeured to the river for their adventure today.

We had some fairly dramatic skies at the beach this afternoon. Bruno found a seagull wing and made a big deal about it. Murphy was a bit out of sorts so got loads of cuddles.

This was a nice peaceful walk in the forest this morning. All the rain we’ve had recently has left the ground damp enough for the mushrooms to reappear. In January!!!

We stumbled into this lovely couple in the midst of a professional photoshoot on this morning’s walk. Look closely and you’ll see cheeky wee Chloe who decided the only thing missing from the photo was her. She wandered over, offered her modelling services and then posed beautifully with the couple. They thought it was very funny until I told them how much she charges.

A nice stroll along the dune track and back along the beach this afternoon. It’s fun watching Milo take young Mac under his wing and show him the ways of the Springer spaniel.

Making the most of the sun today with a walk and swim at the river. These dogs all love the water and are great at devising splashy games.

Morning walk along the stop banks with this bunch of good boys and girls. So nice to have some sun after a run of grey days.

I really enjoyed my Monday afternoon with the brown-and-white brigade. I’ve missed these furry faces! Everyone was so well-behaved today too, let’s see how long that lasts 😁

Happy New Year everyone!! Hope you’re all happy and healthy. First day back for the Checkers gang. We had a good long walk in the forest this morning, adding a new loop on to one of our favourite tracks. It was lovely to see the dogs after a couple of weeks off; if I had a tail it would have been wagging all day.

No surprises here 🤣

My last walk for the year with this handful of good mates was such a nice way to wrap up the year. Everyone was relaxed and happy, especially me.

My last two group walks for the year were lovely! We had a bit of beach time this morning, and I tried (but failed) to get a good group pic of all six dogs. It makes me laugh when there’s always one looking in the wrong direction or just moving out of shot.

With just three dogs this afternoon, I decided to head over to Magazine Bay for the first time this summer. It’s one of the few dog-friendly swimming spots in Lyttelton harbour and these dogs all enjoyed their dip.

Our morning walk at BLF got a bit exciting when we received news of a “lost” kitten on the track ahead. We leashed all the dogs (just to be in the safe side) and scrambled around the undergrowth for a while trying to find said kitten, but it was either hiding or had moved on.

Checkers Dog Walking - Sept 2024

We’ve seen loads of cheeky pīwakawaka (fantails) recently. I love how these birds flit around our heads as we amble through the forest, and I swear their distinctive ‘eep … eep’ is their way of saying thanks for all the bugs and other critters we’re exposing for them as we kick up leaf litter along the way.

A lovely spot we call ‘Frog Lake’ in BLF. Takes a while for the choir to warm up, but once they’ve found their voices it’s quite the chorus! The dogs don’t know what to make of the noise 😀

The start of the hail storm this morning before the golf balls started dropping and we huddled under my jacket under a tree for 10 minutes, debating whether we were more or less likely to be hit by lightning there or making a mad dash back to the car.
