Seren, Ellie and I had a bit of a road trip to Edinburgh for the Scottish Kennel Club May Champ show and October Champ Show being held on the same day, and the Dalmatian Club of Scotland Champ show. We stayed in our usual hotel and Seren had the choice of who she slept withContinue reading “Scotland”

A weekend at Naini’s
The Spots love going to my parents, they love the space, the stream, the ponies … they love everything!! We’ve had some trees cut down after storm damage, so it seemed the ideal opportunity to get some core balance and on practise … Seren also had her third birthday … Naini made her cake andContinue reading “A weekend at Naini’s”
Photoshoot
I wanted to get some more professional photos of the Spots, maybe for adverts, so I asked the lovely Natalie from Hellherder Photography to do a photo shoot. We travelled down a a lovely secure field in Ashby de la Zouche for it. The field was at the top of the hill and we hadContinue reading “Photoshoot”
Easter break
Ellie came back from university so we’ve had a few days off, doing the beach and going to my parents in the Lake District. The Spots love both the beach and Naini’s, they are their ideas of heaven! We like to go to Formby, I love the mix of dunes and sand, you can getContinue reading “Easter break”
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. We spent the week exploring the different Dales and towns, visited Hadrians wall and ruined priories. The SpotsContinue reading “Holidaying in Teesdale”
Chee Dale

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 glorious bank holiday weekend
The weather has been fantastic, the Spots have loved being out in the sunshine. We spent the bank holiday in the Lake District, so the Spots had a great time playing in the paddocks, paddling in the stream and sunbathing. As well as lots of playing and fun, they did also do some thoughtful posingContinue reading “A glorious bank holiday weekend”
The beach
We love a beach trip, as long as it’s out early and leaving before everyone else arrives!! We went to Formby this morning, and it was a little different for the dogs as there was a sea mist, so low visibility and weird sounds. The dogs loved playing in the sand, paddling in the seaContinue reading “The beach”
Play field morning
I love being able to book a secure field for an hour every now and then. It’s a godsend when Mac is particularly sniffy, as it means I can relax, he can roam freely and walks don’t get cut short! I love this particular field, it’s got interesting agility style bits, woody parts and openContinue reading “Play field morning”
Cornwall
We’ve had a week away in Cornwall, first time for both the dogs and the girls. We found the most amazing holiday let for the week, walking straight out over fields, with amazing views. It was a week of firsts for both the girls and the Spots. First Cornish pasty, proper Cornish pasty!, first tripContinue reading “Cornwall”
