Iβm going to give running with my dogs another whirl. I miss my 5km jaunts with my terrier, since our lurcher joined us they fell away due to his preference for stopping and sniffing. Anyway, whatβs a few stops between friends? Iβve ordered myself some new trail shoes and Iβll see what happens. ππ»π
I posted a photo of a sheep skull last week, I think more bones may be sitting in the overgrown corner of the garden. My lurcher laughed at my attempt to block it off and launched over said blockage last-night. Couldnβt get back though, which traumatised all concerned. π±π
My dogs have found some fox poo in the garden. At the time of writing I have not located said shizzle. π
If thereβs anything better than the affection of a dog, Iβm yet to find it. π
My terrier has a very naughty bottom. π
Shane and I today. π
Operation βsneak tablet into dogβs foodβ unsuccessful. He got more food, but little of the tablet. We are bereft of cheese, but I will win. π
If I could have one super power, it would be to communicate with my lurcher friend Shane. Heβs so riddled with anxiety and trauma, even now, and I just want him to know how loved he is and never to worry. π
Doofus face. π
Shane and Leela. π
Shane is sleeping. π
I might not be running, but Iβm getting the dog walks in. 1000km this year. ππ»π
A day off from the dog-walk as both my babies seem to be under the weather. π
Shane had a wash and trim yesterday. π
Dropped the dogs to the groomers. All I could hear was Leela crying as I went to drive away. ππ₯Ί
Maybe I need to get their walk done, then head out when we get home from the trail? That means a 5km run straight after a 5km walk. I prefer running up the trail, itβs a lot more pleasurable for me. No cars, fewer people and beautiful countryside. Maybe a walk/run and stop seeking perfection? ππ»π
I am utterly racking my brains trying to work out how to get my running routine back on track. I used to run with my terrier, but since getting our lurcher, things have changed. He loves stopping and sniffing whereas the terrier, like me, has no time for stopping. πππ»
Got up at 6am, walked the dogs, breakfasted and relaxing with a coffee now. Good job, Benji. Good job. ππ
Iβm kicking myself for not getting up at 6am to take the dogs out for their walk. 8am rolls around and I canβt help but think βI would have been back by nowβ. ππ
Up at 6am the past two mornings to get the dog walk done and dusted early doors. Horrible going out at that time, but great to get my exercise completed before the day starts. πππ»π
