An extremely wet walk with the pooch today, but she enjoyed it. Took the “slinger” with me and she was racing up and down the beach and jumping into the sea like a loon. We were there for an hour and then walked back via the short loop. Forgot to say that the mystery footprints around the property in the snow (February) belonged to a chap from the Forestry Comission who was walking around assessing the trees to be felled. Phew!

Good morning from a cloudy, drizzly and mild day. Dogs woke me at 5 so let them out and after went back to bed. Woke up at 10 to 8, which these days is late for me🤣 lit the fire so I could have a shower after my walk. Did the small loop with Nimmy. Went to the beach first and noticed they are removing some of the logs off the jetty, so might go down later when the men have gone. Took some photos of how nuked the place looks now - they have been really busy at removing the trees. The natural woods are still in situ which is good and there are several woodpeckers in the vicinity. Anyway we only walked a short distance, but will go down the beach on my own and soak my feet and then take Nimmy out for a proper walk later.

Moved home again 🤣 am back in the middle of nowhere at the Singing Sands and considering I was last here in February, the woodmen have been really busy. There are mountains of tree trunks all stacked neatly in huge piles, even on the jetty. Noticed the barge is moored in the bay ready to take some of them away, but on 2 minus notes, the road in is dreadful and a lot of trees have gone and the place looks like it’s been nuked, but it’s still heaven to me. Got settled in, had lunch and took myself off to the beach for a paddle, in the hope that the water will kill my fungus on my big toe. I put shorts and T-shirt on, but it was pretty Baltic to say the least. Got back and changed into more sensible attire, collected the poochie and decided to go part of the way to my favourite place in the hills. By this time it was sort of raining, we were out for 2 hours and only got damp hair. There was a black shoop (goat) who was lost and it followed me for a short while, then it scarpered when it saw the dog. No damage done to either party, but think the shoop (goat) got the fright of its life and hid in the undergrowth and the dog came back with no evidence of having caught it. Anyway here’s some photos. Walked 6.06 miles 🤣

Today Ted misbehaved, think he saw me put my case in the car so when we got down to the beach after walking on the machir Ted almost caught a bunny, but missed it by a whisker and then went on to the main beach, where there was a slight breeze. One of Ted’s favourite pastimes is to chase anything that moves, impersonating a kangaroo and racing along the beach, crashing into the sea and sitting in the water and then repeat the whole performance. To start off it was really funny, but when he wouldn’t come back I got very stressed as there’s a dead porpoise on the beach and he headed straight for it, thankfully he didn’t roll in it after that he went into the dunes and there’s absolutely no way I could catch him up. Fortunately I had the help of Isla (Black Lab) and after an hour or so managed to get him on his lead. This mornings walk lasted 2 hours and I’m sure Ted had a wonderful time. Am leaving here later on today and I’ll miss the craic both with the dogs and the lovely people I met on the beach.

Forgot to post yesterday, did much the same as the day before apart from when Ted and I went walkies, there were 5 other dogs, all of whom knew Ted and he had an absolute ball. Consequently he was totally knackered when he got home and spent most of the day asleep. Here’s some photos. He killed Duckie and found his carcass and his stuffing in the garden 🤣

What a beautiful day it was, though there’s still a wee nip in the wind. Had a lovely walk with Ted in the morning and then made a trip to Tob and called in at Dervaig on the way home. As it was such a lovely day, Ted and I spent all afternoon on the decking with the cats…purrfect. After dinner went walkies on the Machir as there were loads of other dogs on the beach.

Good morning! Went for a walk with Ted on the beach last night at about 6 and he was well behaved on the lead, so was really looking forward to meeting his pals again today. He actually came back to me when I called, so that’s a vast improvement on yesterday. Timed the romp just right, we were on the beach and machar and Ted was doing his normal stuff, trying to catch rabbits to no avail and generally horsing around and it started to rain on the way home. Here’s some photos.

Happy Easter to you all. Am back at Calgary with Ted after a really awful week which completely floored me. Anyway each day is a new day and am really loving my time with Ted and met up with some of his doggy pals on the beach today, we were there for an hour and a half and he’s zonked out on his bed 🤣

Took Coops on his last walk yesterday ☹️ we did 4 miles and went along the usual low level walk. Cooper wanted a walk through the woods on the way back, so we went past the Grey Mares Waterfall and then to the viewpoint and then back home…think he enjoyed himself, but in one of the photos he didn’t look too chuffed. Anyway I’m home again now and missing the daily walks and the craic with Gary…..

Went out with Cooper for a shortish walk this afternoon. He wasn’t in the mood for a walk at all, but once we’d given him a tennis ball and found him a half decent stick, he was happy. Just walked to the sea along the riverside and back again. Walked 8.33 miles altogether today…

Today we went on a longer walk, Cooper was in much better form so armed with a tennis ball and a stick (cooper) we set off and walked up to the wee dam which had slightly more water overflowing than it did the other day. From there we went along the riverside path to the playing fields and through to the old pier. Cooper was really behaving himself and on the way home decided he wanted to walk along the path on the opposite side of the river, this was when he started misbehaving himself, but not as badly as he did yesterday. We walked through the woods along the river where he met an extremely aggressive Jack Russel who reminded me somewhat of a piranha and if Coops had been off his lead he would have been shredded 🤣 went past the Grey Mares Waterfall and as we got to nearing the end of the walk met a black pug who was being a real pain in the bahookie…literally so was glad we could move Cooper along. We walked 5.45 miles in the drizzly sort of rain and it was lovely. Cooper also had a tennis ball as well as that big stick in his mouth and one had to be aware that any minute he’d come bounding past and if you weren’t looking would have knocked you over…

Today we walked 5.62 miles over comparatively flat terrain In the morning we went along the path next to the sea and into the woods near the Grey Mares Waterfall and then back home. After lunch we went into the woods again and climbed up until we reached the viewpoint then we wandered around the hoses so I could get the gnomes. Don’t think I’ve ever seen so many in one place before 🤣
