Back Home
So we are home…. I have to say that this was an amazing experience, prior to going on this adventure I had wanted to do something like this for many years. I had always been worried about the “what if’s”, such as if I did the worming wrong and the dogs were not allowed back…

Day 20 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Having got up at the crack of dawn, the journey to Barakaldo was relatively easy. As we drove the landscape was really very varied. At times I felt we could be in Montana, Switzerland, and the Wild West. It took us about 6hrs, we met with the friends we are staying with. Had an early…

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…

Day 12 & 13 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
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…

Day 11 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
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…

Day 10 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
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…
