I got to witness coastal erosion in action this morning. No, it was not tidal action (although it had been quite a high tide), but canine action. These dogs had the best fun leaping up, over, and off the ledge of sand at the base of the dunes, causing several small sand slips (say that fast, five times), and dislodging some driftwood in the process.

Gus joined the pack, reuniting with his old mates and immediately pickingup where he left off. Lovely to see his wee koala-face again!

Afternoon walk north of the Waimakariri. The dogs LOVED the slip’n’slide down by the river. I had to use all my dog wrangling skills to lure them away from the mud and on to greener (and cleaner) land.

Morning walk at the beach where the tide had gifted us with some giant driftwood logs that looked like beached monsters until we got up close. I enjoyed watching the dogs sizing these unidentified objects up from a distance, cautiously moving within striking range, and then relaxing when they realised each one was just another piece of wood.

I took this afternoon’s group to Chaneys forest for the first time in ages. The dogs had a blast exploring a new (to them) location and I enjoyed having the forest to myself.

There were lots of horses (with riders) in the forest today so I kept this bunch under close supervision. Ziggy delighted her smaller companions when she initiated some very silly games and led Boris, Ivy, and Stanley on a merry chase.

Last walk for the week, and it was a particularly cold and wet one. Louis was sporting a very handsome rain coat which helped to keep him dry until he decided to lie down in a puddle.

Back to full colour pics next week, at least until I find another setting on my camera I feel like playing with.

Stay warm and dry people! X

Figured I might as well see the black & white theme through to the end of the week, so here are some more colourless photos of black, white, blonde, brown, and ginger dogs in a green forest on a grey day.

More experimenting with the settings on my camera this afternoon. We bumped into a friendly person walking her two Vislas along the beach and the dogs all got along so well we completed the walk together. Kim especially enjoyed having a couple more energetic running mates.

While the dogs had fun exploring the forest today, I had fun playing with the black & white settings on my camera. Let me know what you think of the results.

PS, I was gifted some of the best home-made bagels I’ve ever had by one of this morning’s clients. One of the things I love about running my own wee business is that I get to hand select only the loveliest people to work for, and I’m not just saying that because of the bagels 😄

We had a very swimmy afternoon today, especially Milo, Bruno, Hunter, and Louis. Wilson and Murphy cheered them on from the river bank and raced around finding more sticks.

The forest was still very frosty this morning so we made a bee-line for the beach where we all recharged our solar panels before heading into the forest with the trip back to the wagon.
