Today we had a Viz Whizz to celebrate Parker’s 2nd birthday. The weather wasn’t kind at all, and yes, I’m actually holding my hood up as the wind was so strong crossing the moor that it kept pushing it back. Didn’t seem to bother any of the dogs too much though, and much hilarity by the humans as we “Ohh” and “Eekk”ed our way over very wet marshland. Anyway, no such thing as bad weather, just poor clothing 🙂 Happy 2nd Birthday, Parker.
Sorry I haven’t posted my blog properly for ages…I have a Facebook page that’s taken over! I’ve had some wonderful new additions to my pack, and a few that have left…….why do people have to move house 🙁 we’ve had some great walks out in the wilds, even though this summer is not quite what you would expect for weather!
This photo is of new boy Rocco (the lab) with original Rocco. They get on great…although it is confusing for me!
New boy Rocco, is a perfect addition to my pack though, is super responsive, loves his walks, gets on great with every other pack member and is very handsome! The first time I called on him, he instantly shot back to me, with “original” Rocco a close second (with a confused expression!) New boy Rocco is a definite Wild Walker!
Quite often, I will walk at Craigallian and round the moor there and past Abbe’s Loch (to give the dogs a swim, if they’d like!). Today, however, when I parked, there was a lot of heavy machinery on the path clearing the trees that had fallen.
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.
Prices start from £15. Contact us to find out more.
It is great knowing that our dog is so happy and looked after by Jacqueline. He adores meeting the other dogs but he has an amazing bond with Jacqueline who loves my dog like its one of her own. If you want to be able to get on with your working life then use Wildside Walks as Jacqueline and her team allow you to feel confident that your dog is so well looked after. Our boy just loves being picked up by Jacqueline and leaves with tail wagging everytime.
