Bit of an update

I think that everyone is having to contend with the weather to some degree at the moment.  This constant wet does make it so difficult to do things, just taking the dogs out to the toilet is a major expedition especially with the tollers who don't like going out in the rain.  I would have thought that they might have got used to it, but sadly it isn't the case!  They have continued to enjoy their walks, jumping in muddy puddles and generally getting filthy.  We have had to watch them in the river though at times as it has continued to be in full flow and swollen for much of the month.  Newgale beach has been out of bounds due to the storms at the beginning of the month for a few weeks and we enjoyed our first visit there today.

Trio on the beach for the first time since her accident!

Tough dogs - enjoying a dip despite the cold weather

Newgale - quite a changed landscape since the storms


Trio has been coming out with us for some walks with the other dogs and she has enjoyed being part of the pack again, although a frustrated one!  Today I decided to let her off the lead for the first time since her accident, I waited until the end of the walk and the others had got rid of the silliness so wouldn't encourage her.  She was delighted, bless her.  She had such a look of delight on her face and was reasonably sensible - or as sensible as a Munster can be!  Only five minutes, but a start.

It's been a quiet January, which has given us a chance to recharge our batteries.  We're now ready to head into February which is unusually busy for us before Crufts.  We have OJAC and Welsh Junior to look forward too before Crufts.  Now hoping that the weather might improve and we can get some practice in!
