Beautiful Daisy

The lovely Daisy cat showed me around her garden again. I’m pretty sure that she wanted me to climb a tree with her. Don’t think that would go terribly well for me. Never mind Daisy, we had fun playing ‘kill the bit of grass’ instead.

Fun and Games with Milo

Here are some pictures of Milo on his walk at Bramshott Common the other week. He has been walking alone some afternoons so we have been playing a lot of games on the walk to make it fun. His favourite seems to be ‘You can’t get this stick off me’ and ‘hide and seek in the long grass’.

We have been taking to the woods with some cross-country walks recently. The dogs love it, lots of branches and obstacles to jump over or duck under. It’s also great to get off the paths which are becoming quite muddy now. Just need to try not to get too lost!

Some new friends…

Meet the new puppies, Molly and Teddy. Half Spanish Water Dog, half Poodle, 100% bouncy puppy cuteness!

IMG_0244 (Small)Lucy and I took the pups down to the river near their house for a bit of crazy running about and splashing in the water. Teddy found himself a prickly Chestnut casing and wouldn’t let Molly near it. He didn’t seem bothered by the prickles!….

We also met the beautiful Daisy cat last week. She gave us a grand tour of the grounds, including her favourite sitting spots, her favourite drinking spot and some great leaf-chasing spots!…

First Aid Tip #1

Study time! Between dog walks I am currently doing a Diploma in Canine First Aid and I thought i’d share some snippets of useful information with you all. Never know when it might come in useful!…

Pressure points: When an animal is bleeding heavily from a limb, pressure points can be used to slow the bleeding. A pressure point is where an artery passes over a bone. Pressure can be applied to ‘crush’ the artery against the bone and limit blood flow to a limb. Below is a picture showing the main pressure points on a dog…
Severe blood loss can cause death in only a few minutes so this one could potentially be a life saver!
