Life with Spots
We are lucky to have a little village green that always has beautiful daffodils at this time of year. Every year I intend to get photos of the Spots with the daffodils and every year I don’t get round to it.
So this year I have had a couple of special outings to the green to get photos … with varied success 🤣
And the less successful photos …
Mac and Lottie get on really well and love playing together. However, they don’t often play on walks, even when there is lots of space, too busy moving forward and sniffing. So at least once a week I take them over to the paddock at work for a play. I also use the opportunity to do a scatter feed when it’s not wet.
Ellie plays the clarinet and we spend lesson and practise time splitting Mac up from her, as he does like to join in and sing along! Her music teacher thought it would be funny to teach Ellie Cruella da Vila’s theme tune from 101 Dalmatians… he had other ideas!
We took Lottie over to the paddock for a bit of quality girl time. Ellie loves doing tricks and fun stuff with Lottie.
Lottie has been taking the girls’ homeschooling very seriously, and had tried to help them with their lessons. But as time goes on, even she is flagging, and french seemed to finish her off today 🤣
The Spots are loving the girls being at home as it means extra walks, as the girls use the walks as their PE lessons, or just to escape or delay a lesson they aren’t keen on! The Spots aren’t complaining though, and Lottie loves getting the extra treats, she does love her treats!
This is what happens when you leave the room … the Spot pinches your warm chair and snuggles up in your blanket! No respect for my space at all! I think he might have had some help and encouragement from a teenage daughter! He looked so comfy, I decided to leave him there.
I like to give the Spots something to chew or lick in the early afternoon as it helps encourage calmness and sleep through the afternoon when we are all working.
Today I decided to do scrambled eggs on their lickimats. They were very good and waited patiently whilst I cooked the eggs, I confess there was drool, quite a bit from one of the Spots, can you guess which one?
And I had a productive afternoon whilst they snoozed, win/win!
We woke up to more snow so another chance to loose the Spots in the early morning light!
More snow so I decided to take the Spots to the paddock to play in it and do a scatter fed breakfast. Not sure Lottie approved of having to find her breakfast in the snow, but Mac loved it. After breakfast and a play they decided to pose …
