Izzy was much better today, but we are headed to the mountains for a couple of days from tomorrow. So I wanted to take them for a walk, but not a long one. The walk I chose was about 2K in length, a bit of uphill and also did some training and recording footage upon…

Izzy was unwell today, she accompanied me to the bathroom when I got up. To her surprise as she turned around she had a poonami right there in the bathroom. I took her back and popped her onto her bed where she couldn’t control another one. I took her outside and she finished off but…

Visited Madrid today, met some friends.  Walked through an amazing park in the centre which had beautiful lights all over the trees. Madrid was pretty cold, and we spent most of our trip in a little bar.  We had some lovely tapas, and chatted with friends.  The dogs were absolutely amazing – really relaxed and…

Woke up this morning with bundles of energy and determined to do my longest hike, just under 13Km.  This was another absolutely beautiful walk.  The walk itself was massively varied, mountain regions, road walking, valleys with a river running through them, and lastly a small town.   The dogs had an amazing time as did…

I wanted a short walk as I had some other things that I needed to do, so I looked on my trusty app and discovered a walk only 13 minutes from my hotel.  The write up suggested a quiet country style road for about 3KM. Upon reaching the walk it was anything but.  Although it…

Tried a park walk today with the dogs – not my preferred style of walk but felt it important to truly explore the city. There is an enclosed dog park, which I had seen and decided to visit with my three.  It is a really well designed space, which unfortunately, is not looked after by…

Spudley has cut his pads over the last couple of days on the sharp rocks, I have been dressing them with Aloe Vera Gel, but I decided today to do a less mountainous route.  This was just under 5K, and was a woodland path.  There were some rocky sections, but I called Spudley back to…
