Pups & Pats

My fella and I went camping in Wales for a few days at the weekend. We were staying on a friends land and as such had a field all to ourselves, much to the pups delight!

The weather was beautiful. We indulged in some nice walks, cooking on the camp fire, and a small bit of animal management keeping the sheep and cattle from coming through the gaps in the hedge from the next field!

I am truly delighted to say Roxy is much better. In fact she seems her old self although the vet has cautioned us to keep her on restricted food and go steady in case the complaint should flare up again but so far all seems well.

On the hottest day we headed for woodland with plenty of streams and a lake to keep the pups cool. Roxy is a water baby and loves to swim, Buddy on the other hand is a little more cautious and prefers to dunk at the waters edge and await her return!

It was a great break and timed well to get us away from the media madness following the death of Michael Jackson. We are both very sad about it and still shocked.

Anyway we all feel refreshed, and smell fresher! Everything we took with us, our boots, clothes, the tent and the pups all came back with the faint odour of cow pats!

We were planning our main camping holiday to be in Northumberland and Scotland this year but have asked our friend if we can return to his land as it is so good for the dogs to have so much space to play without restrictions. Also we can have camp fires. He has said we can go anytime so we will be exploring Snowdonia again this year.
