Worcester woods country park walk blog

This mornings walk was on a new place. Worcester woods country park with Hall Green RGT dogs rehoming centre. That meant a 40 car drive or in my case 40 minutes more shut eye!

Mom had to hold us both why Dad had a tiddle. Apparently hoomans aren't supposed to pee up trees in the woods - oh how boring!
23 dogs (4 wearing we need homes jackets) and hoomans. We went through the woods which weren't too muddy in a loop. After a 40 minutes we arrived back at the cafe.

The cafe was packed its a award winner so the Q must equal that. The raffle was drawn and for a change the hoomans didn't win anything. Star decided to bark at some dogs off the lead but Dad fed us both Wagg tasty bones to keep us quiet. The weather was kind to us so we had a lovely time !

Symply dog food blog

Christmas maybe over for humans but it still continues for me. I'm eating turkey twice a day in the form of turkey kibbles or Symply large dog turkey and rice dog food.
If I don't like it there's a 100% money back guarantee. But I do so it won't be needed.

The kibbles are nice circular in shape and still retain there shape when wet with water(the way I like it ! )

My hooman liked it for many reasons
It has a great guide on how much to give me when changing me over from my old food to this gradually. As well as the label saying what it's good for;
All natural , skin & coat, wheat gluten free, joint health, dental care and it's British !

The protein contact is 26% which is slightly higher than a Greyhound is advised by many books. I've been on it for a couple of weeks and I haven't suddenly become hyperactive or mad. The good news for the hoomans is the other end is solid so scooping is easy and no smelly windy (or carpet bum as my hoomans call it)
For price information and a list of other flavours they do go to Pets Corner website. 

Barley's New Years Day blog

Happy new year everyone!

Hoomans had new neighbours flippin noisy party they had plus they spoke funny (Polish). As we are spoilt hounds Dad left chill fm on sleep on the stereo to try and hide the party news and the fireworks. Dad put 60 minutes on the timer, as if it takes that long for a hound like me to fall asleep! Bol !

Not much sleep for any of us though (1.30-6.30) as we were off 100 miles down south to Barley's kennels in Waltham Abbey. These are the kennels I first went to when I retired from my racing days at Romford, Essex.

Virtually no traffic on the motorways so we made it in 2 hours in plenty of time for the 10 open with the walk at 10.30.

About 10 other hounds arrived so as there were plenty of volunteers all the kennel dogs were taken out. My French grandparents got given dogs also. Grand mommy got Lily 15 months and grandad got Shannon 11 months old.

The walk lasted about 50 minutes across the fields and into the woods which were very muddy at times. I remembered where I was and the kennel guys were really pleased to see me.

Hoomans spent some money on fridge magnets and keyrings. The raffle was drawn and we won a really good basket of goodies. Wine, chocolates and Pringles for hoomans and treats for us hounds.

Hoomans had a picnic in the car whilst we crashed out. It was lovely to go back to my old kennels but I love my forever home more !

Xmas day blog

Well the big day has come Merry Christmas everyone. It's mine and Stars first in our forever home.
Started off as normal a walk over the park. The three wise men followed a large star Dad followed a small one with 4 legs!

Hoomans were busy cooking the gobbler and drinking champagne we just roached on the sofa.

We weren't allowed any gobbler so we got some turkey mince and Xmas veg meatballs from our doggie cookbook. We had them for tea they were nom nom!
We were both bought kong braid toys but we looked after them differently .

Star went for the rip the arms off and pull all the stuffing out of it! In about 5 minutes flat.
I on the other hand cuddled mine.

After more walks it was back onto the sofa.

I think we have more presses to open tomorrow but we are too tired today.
Merry Christmas everyone

Waseley hills RGT walk blog

A crisp Sunday morning in december a quick sprint round the block to get rid of evening tiddles. Both put in the car for what dad thought it was going to be a 45-60 minutes drive ended up at 35 minutes. Doh !

The car park is big but pay and display £1.20 at weekends for the day. There were about 40 hounds on the walk including 2 borzois !

At the top of the hill we had a quick chat about the light rain weather to cut the walk short - unfortunately the vote was yes to cut it short. I did enjoy the views though.

After the walk we were given sausages whilst the hoomans had hot drinks from the cafe.

Dogs trust Xmas fair blog

What a busy Saturday I've had- up early quick walk round the block and then into the car.
Went to Jollyes pet shop to get Star a flashing vivid collar and then to the RGT centre to get Star some food.

Arrived at Kenilworth Dog Trust half hour early so we had a walk down the road before we went to the Xmas fair. It's on 3rd and 4th 12-4pm dogs welcome.

This is where I came from so it's a great centre but I love my forever home.
There were stands selling Xmas cards with dogs on & cards for dogs to send. As well as dogs trust merchandise and snacks to eat.
We were really looking forward to seeing the guy in the big red suit.

It was busy with hoomans and dogs so Santa needed a helper.

Santa fussed us both but we have already had our Xmas wishes - a lovely forever home, plenty of cuddles and love.

Even still the big man gave us both presents so they are going under the tree. Santa also liked our festive bandanas.

Back home again so I get to lie on the new blanket. Whilst Mom and Star fall asleep.
