Zola and the Moor

A nice walk today over the moor at Mugdock Country Park, with Holly, Ivy and Boris (The Vizslak), Laddie and Meg (the Labs) Pepsi (the Boxer) and our new girl Zola.

Slightly bigger pack than normal as I was assisted by my husband Martin, who is off recovering from knee surgery.
Lovely walk until we decided it was time to go through a gate in the fence, which Zola decided wasn’t for her!! Fun and games as Zola was staying on that moor (and she can definitely run faster than me!!)……still, we all made it back to the van (eventually!!!!)

Drymen today…

A lovely walk through the forest at Drymen, with a great balanced pack of dogs that all get on so well. Laddie and Meg, the black labs always enjoy their walk, and are just the most balanced dogs – lovely! The Vizslak are always a pleasure, though Boris is growing so rapidly it is hard to tell now which one is Ivy and which is Boris, and last but definitely not least is Murphy – such a friendly dog. His tail doesn’t stop wagging from when I pick him up, until I drop him off – I can even hear it banging off the side in the van!!

Meg always finds something to carry….

A lovely walk today around Mugdock Country Park with Holly and Ivy, Laddie and Meg, new girl Zola and Pepsi.

Practically every walk that we go on, Meg (the black Lab in the picture) will find something to carry. It has been hair bobbles, socks, pram toys, but the favourite is definitely gloves!
She finds them near the start of the walk, and will carry them with her the whole way, dropping it when the van is in sight – very funny! I think that she must plank them somewhere that she will remember, so that she can find them again the next time we do that walk! Every day I wait to see what today’s will be!!

Welcome to our newest Wild Side member – Zola!

A great big “Welcome” today to the newest member of our pack – Zola the Rhodesian Ridgeback. She was a little unsure about getting into the van, but once up in the familiar territory of Mugdock, she loved her walk.

She travelled really well in the van, and got on fine with the other dogs – Holly and Boris (the Vizslak), Laddie and Meg (the Labs) and the most beautiful & friendly Cocker Spaniel ever – Murphy.
A nice walk across Drumclog Moor, and then back through the forest, with the only the slightest bit of drizzle…summer is just around the corner!

Vito waiting for salmon?

A lovely sunny walk today over the Moor at Mugdock Country park. Vito was very disappointed as there was hardly any mud as it has been dry for a few days now (shouldn’t speak too soon…), so found it difficult to get his usual mud bath. He did find plenty of water and streams though! He looked at one stage like he was waiting to catch a fish!!

Also with the Wild Crew today were Boris, and the 2 black labs – Laddie and Meg.

Murphy Returns….

A lovely walk today with Holly and Boris (the Vizslak), Laddie and Meg (the Labs) and Gemma and Murphy (the Cocker Spaniels). Murphy hasn’t been on a Wild Side Walk for a week, and he couldn’t have enjoyed it more. The big black tail wagged constantly for 2 hours! Nice to have you back, Murphy.

All the dogs got on really well, with Boris always posing, every time the camera came out! Such a Star.

A Sleepover….

A nice sunny walk through the forest at Drymen yesterday with Skye and Molly coming back with me for a sleepover!

It was the first time either of them have stayed, and they were perfect house guests!
Holly and Ivy thought that Christmas had come early when I didn’t drop off Skye and Molly at their respective houses, but came to their house!!
Once the initial excitement was over, all 4 dogs settled down really nicely for an evening of comfy beds and bones….
A lovely relaxing walk today over Drumclog Moor, with these 4 dogs now being firm friends (that’s what happens when you share nicely.)

Mugdock Country Park.

Vito was particularly manky today, sorry Elle. He just LOVES every bit of mud, dirt, water that he can find. It can be bone dry for miles and then there will be one little bog and guess who is straight in!!

Wee Boris didn’t quite know what to make of Vito, Vizsla’s tend to be very clean dogs, so he kept staring at him every time Vito plunged neck deep into another bog, as if to say “WHAT are you DOING???” Very Funny….
The two black labs Laddie & Meg just love their walk every day, and today was no different….and Skye, as always, was the perfect gentleman!
Holly still missing Ivy, I don’t think she is quite sure of why it is only her that comes out in the van now, with poor Ivy left behind…

Beautiful Day

If only the weather was like this every day! Absolutely beautiful day, with Holly and Boris, Laddie and Meg and last but not least Gemma. Definitely strange to walk without Ivy, but it is only for a short time ’til she is fully better. Ivy, of course, doesn’t think that there is anything wrong and cannot understand why I would take Holly out for a walk and leave her behind! Poor Ivy….

Great Pack of Dogs

Another lovely walk today with Laddie & Meg – the 2 black labs, Jude – the golden lab, Gemma – the cocker spaniel and Holly & Boris – The Vizslak. Missing today was my own dog Ivy, who was in to get spayed. Poor Ivy, she was very sorry for herself when I picked her up at the vets this afternoon.

However, as she will never be used to breed, it is the responsible thing to do – she just doesn’t know it! She will have a much healthier life, and will not be distracted by other desires, so will be much more balanced!
It was weird without her, and poor Jude couldn’t understand where she was….he looked everywhere for her, and kept running up to Holly as if to say “where is the other one that looks just like you?!” She will be back soon enough……
