November 2018

Look at me - up there on the wall! I had an amazing time with Katrina Wilson - super pet photographer on my photo shoot in Ampthill Park. Now I can admire myself and remember what fun I had (and think about "spanielling").

Regular readers will know I LOVE going for long walks and exploring new places. This seemed like a good place to go!

And when you have finished walking, another activity to try is swimming. I promise if you let me off my lead, I won't chase the ducks...

Another long walk in the sunshine along the Grand Union canal in Milton Keynes.

Some days it was a bit wet and cold so I made do with a toy duck.

I have been enjoying agility competitions again (and have even stopped sniffing in horse arenas)!

Here I am all snuggled up in the tent, dreaming about agility and my super photo shoot.

September and October 2018

Despite it being term time again, I have been so busy I didn't get round to writing my blog in September. This was partly because we went to one of my favourite places.

I was so happy! Ball! Swim! Sea gulls!

I have been on several trips away - camping and in a B&B. Did you know dogs can do the "starfish" and take up a whole double bed?

Other trips included a train ride to Tring (to walk at Ivinghoe Beacon and Ashridge). There were many many squirrels to chase!

Sometimes the fun begins at home - I had a friend to stay. The tug-toy was not so keen on this...

Even with all these adventures going on, I still managed to fit in some agility. I am happy with coming 11th at the British Championships, a win at the Dog barn and a 4th at Oakridge. 

Time to put my head down now and plan what I would like to do next month!

August 2018

This month has been VERY busy. I went on holiday to Wales for a few days and then a longer holiday to Yorkshire / Cumbria.

Here I am the highest dog in Wales (and England). It was great fun climbing Snowdon!

I went for a very long walk this month!

Guess what..? I found water!

I also found scarecrows - very odd as they are not scary nor are they crows... I tried to liven them up by barking and chasing them but it didn't work.

One of many parts of my adventure.

Some parts had added interest - I liked the look of the next field...

Sniffing out the way ahead.

All this walking made me very hungry. You mentioned the word "food"?

After all that exploring, we made it to the end (a little bit wet, this time from the rain).

When we reached the Lake District, we had a few days before returning home. A boat trip round Ullswater was nice...

but even better was jumping around in Ullswater!

Finally it was time to snuggle up and rest my paws.

p.s. When we got back, the results from the national ABC agility series had been published. Very happy with my 7th place :) 

June and July 2018

It has been very hot recently. I have either been sleeping by the fan or swimming so didn't get round to writing this for a while!

Just checking out the water.

Before this!

My duck watching "hide"

Ball! In the water! I must get it back!

Again again!

I found this in my garden - a new den. Claiming it as mine.

I later found out I could sleep in it (like camping) and not just on it...

May 2018

May has meant lots of exploring, camping (and my birthday). It's always good when we walk near a river.

I wonder how I got like this?

Ah yes - that's it!

Topping up my energy levels.

I needed it to get these. I am now Grade 5.

Enjoying my agility reward / birthday present.

And sleeping it off in the sun!
