It’s been a Christmas with a difference as we have been without Mac, he’s been on his holibobs elsewhere. The girls enjoyed their time in the Lake District, although it was grey and wet. Their Naini spoiled them and Seren got several toys to love. it was very quiet and peaceful, even the pheasants andContinue reading “Christmas 2024 with the Spots”

Sisters
Peggy (Ailsadot Astral Andromeda, Miss Lilac) has been helping rebuild Seren’s confidence following a dog attack last year. We’ve been on 2 walks with the girls’ the first one in Stalybridge Country Park, and the second one round Windy Bank Woods. Seren was a little nervous and cautious to begin with, whilst Peggy was desperateContinue reading “Sisters”
Holiday time
Following on from the shows at Kelso we booked to stay in a cottage in Lanton. Dave and I split the holiday between there and the Lakes as my parents haven’t been so good. We did get a bit of time as a family. We did a bit of sight seeing, found some lovely walksContinue reading “Holiday time”
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”
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 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”
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”
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”
Formby Beach
We always go to the beach during the Christmas holiday, it’s a bit of a family ritual. As always we go early so we are usually leaving as everyone else is arriving! The tide was a it’s highest, something we haven’t experienced before, so the Spots were totally confused, as they are used to runningContinue reading “Formby Beach”
Formby Beach
With the weather being so hot we decided to head to the beach for an early morning run, let the Spots let of some steam, but keep cool in the sea. The tide was at it’s lowest so we had a bit of walk down to the sea. The Spots loved chasing each other andContinue reading “Formby Beach”
