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”

I’m stillContinue reading “North of England Dalmatian Champ 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. We spent the week exploring the different Dales and towns, visited Hadrians wall and ruined priories. The SpotsContinue reading “Holidaying in Teesdale”

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”

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”
