After 6 months away from the show ring, Seren and I ventured down to Staffordshire Show Ground for the Lichfield show. Seren was very bouncy, couldn’t keep still, but still got placed a respectable 2nd in Post Graduate. I was just pleased we hadn’t totally forgotten everything!! I’m looking forward to getting both Seren andContinue reading “Lichfield Premier Open Show”

Holidaying in Teesdale
We have a lovely week away, just Dave, the Spots and I, as Ellie has gone to university and Beth is at college. We found a lovely cottage with a big enclosed garden in Mickleton in Teesdale.

Critique from Blackpool Champ show
Blackpool is a lucky show for Seren, best Junior in breed in 2022, 1st post graduate and 2nd in limit this year, gaining her stud book number and meaning she’s now qualified for Crufts for life.

August 2023
Sadly, I popped a disc in my back at the end of June, so we have had a couple of very quiet months. There have been no shows, no days out or big walks, and Dave has been doing the majority of the walking. But, I have been out a few times with the Spots,Continue reading “August 2023”
Chee Dale
We’ve had a few days off, so as well as doing lots of jobs, we decided to have a day out in the Peak District. Chee Dale was perfect, a reasonable flat walk, with plenty of shade and water for the Spots. Chee Dale is a beautiful place, a lovely walk, but definitely one forContinue reading “Chee Dale”

A bit a snuffle enrichment
I like to use enrichment activities to help build calm and peace in the house, especially as we have a very barky dog across the street, and when lots is going on on the street. I don’t use snuffle enrichment everyday, and I use a variety, matched to each dog’s patience and frustration levels. LottieContinue reading “A bit a snuffle enrichment”
