Walking the Pack!

On one of our many dog walks, we had on this occasion invited Steph's dad, sister and brother, who have dogs as well. Between us all we were walking 5 dogs! Luckily all the dogs know each other and get on fine. We walked up Haughmond Hill in Shropshire. There are several routes to the top and we decided to take the longest route. We met many other walkers on the way and more dogs. Everyone just seemed to get on well, so it was a really lovely walk. When you get to the top, you are rewarded with a beautiful view. At the top we stopped for a picnic. We had some treats for the dogs and Steph's sister handed them out. It was quite funny as she is petite and was completely surrounded by 5 dogs in varying sizes from medium to large!

Spike entertained everyone by gathering sticks and small logs, where he tried to carry as many as he could.

Overall we walked for a good couple of hours which was just enough for the dogs.

Easter Break

The Easter break was a great little 4 day weekend. weather was fantastic, sunny and warm. We decided to spend most of the weekend with the dogs. We took them out and played their favourite game, football!

We are convinced Spike was a footballer in a former life as he absolutely loves his ball. If you kick the ball up in the air he will header it a couple of times, sort of with his nose, rather than his head. Spike's first touch is also pretty good!

Chewy also loves his football, but would rather just carry the ball and run around rather than do the tricks and dribble.

The nets were up in the goals where TSFC play and the sports field also allows dogs, so we took them there.

It took them both a couple of times to realise that the ball doesn't go through the net, so going around to retrieve it doesn't work!

We took them some water as it was very hot and they were soon panting. It's pretty good exercise playing football with two dogs!

It's All About the Dogs

Spike and Chewy

We have 2 lovely dogs, Spike and Chewy. Spike is a German Shepherd Cross (2.5 yrs old) who likes to play non-stop! Chewy is a Golden Labrador (2 yrs old) who likes to eat a lot! They are our best friends who we love very much! We take them on trips we do in the UK. In 2006 we took them camping to Shell Island in Wales, which they loved! Found out that they are good swimmers! This year in May, we are taking them to a cottage in Porthmadog in Wales. We were thinking about getting them pet passports and then we can take them to Europe, but not sure if its worth it for short trips. Our future plans do take us to Europe anyway, so we're thinking that maybe its best to wait until then.
