Well, what weather! I walked today with no jacket, short sleeves and sunglasses….could this really be Scotland ….in MARCH???
A big welcome to my latest Wild Side Walker – Molly. She had her first walk yesterday to see how she got on, and she was completely perfect! Jumped straight into the van (yeah!), and on the walk, I kept her on the lead for less than 5 minutes as she was just desperate to get GOING!! She got on brilliantly with all the other pack members, loves to bomb about at 100mph and then has a lovely wee habit of racing back to me and bumping my hand with her muzzle, as if to say “I’m here, and I’m having fun”, then bombs off again. Even at the end of the walk, I normally put a new dog on lead before the van, but I thought with Molly that’s she had been so good, she won’t let me down now. She didn’t – bounced straight in!! How lucky am I??? She’s a lovely girl, from a loving and caring home. Welcome to my pack Molly! My only concern is that I have another chocolate lab who is called Holly….and I’m easily confused!! Kept thinking my new girl was right in front of me as I called “Molly!” only to realise it was Holly!! But then Molly would bump my hand with her muzzle 🙂
My wee Coco who comes out with me every morning is going to be a mummy…..in about a month’s time. I’m SO excited, but my daughter Sarah CAN’T see the pups or they will all be coming home with us. Actually, who am I kidding? I can’t go see them either…..
Yesterday, I took my dogs Holly and Ivy up to the first Viz Whizz (Vizsla owners get together and go for a great walk!) of the year at Mugdock Country Park.
I’m off for a few days over the Festive period, and it does seem odd not to be seeing all my dogs, and I’m starting to miss them all and wonder how they are!
Fergus is a Bernese Mountain dog (big, BIG boy!) and is only with me for 3 weeks while his owners are away sunny themselves (lucky things!)
Holly always travels on the passenger seat, and is normally always on the morning walk.
Sorry I haven’t posted my blog properly for ages – I started a Facebook page and it has kind of taken over!
Hoover, the lurcher, has been coming out with me now for a couple of months – on and off.
Today, the Wild Side Walkers welcomed a new boy into the pack. Parker is a Vizsla and came out in the afternoon. He was really super, jumped into the van (always nice!) and got on SO well with my existing beautifully balanced pack of dogs.
Prices start from £15. Contact us to find out more.
I cannot recommend Jacqui and Wild Side walks highly enough. It is a shame that my boxer Lucy can’t give the review as she just loves her! Lucy jumps up as soon as I say jacqui’s names, runs to her van and comes back happy and tired. Also usually muddy, which is a sign of a good adventure walk! I started using Jacqui when I moved to the area. I was careful about who I picked as I have had some bad experiences in the past – you really do need to do your homework when picking a dog walking company – but Jacqui and Wild Side walks have been fantastic ???
