When you son and brother comes to play

10/02/2023

In August 2023 myself and a team of ladies and gents are walking 26 miles in the Peak District in aid of raising money for Alzheimer’s Uk.
Alzheimers affects so many families and robs them of their loved ones long before they’ve passed away.

Charities everywhere are struggling to find money during the cost of living crisis and fundraising is much harder than it would normally be.

Please please donate even if it’s just £1, if everyone donated £1 just think how much money we could raise to help people suffering with this horrible disease.

Please share this post far and wide, and let’s make a difference for people with Alzheimer’s ### THANK YOU 🙏

Beau and Winnie love a sniffy walk

LET ME BE “NOSEY”
Imagine going on a long-anticipated walk, through beautiful scenery, after you have been cooped up in the same place all day, but you have been fitted with a blind fold and are being dragged along at a quick pace. I imagine that this is how dogs feel when we don’t allow them time to stop and sniff the environment. Dogs largely perceive their world through scent and it’s how they collect and process information and make sense of the world. Taking away an opportunity for sniffing on a walk is not in their best interests and as much as physical exercise is important, the mental stimulation that sniffing provides is equally, if not more important.
Studies have shown that allowing dogs to spend time sniffing provides so many benefits – promoting calmness, lowering stress and anxiety levels, lowering pulse rates, preventing cognitive decline and providing mental stimulation and enrichment are just some examples.
Make time for a slow “sniffing walk”, where your dog is allowed to decide which direction to go and allowed to simply be “nosey” and follow wherever their nose leads them. It may take far more time and patience as we wait for them to finish smelling that blade of grass, but the benefits are well worth it.
