We braved the narrow paths in the bluebell woods with Luca. Friday night on a bank holiday weekend. We saw... no-one! 👏🏼👏🏼
Gorgeous bluebells. Our photos never do them justice. 💙🪻💜
Pups loved the sniffs.
We loved the stunning carpet of colour.

We don't take Luca to the Bluebell Woods near us as the paths are too narrow for him if there are other dogs there.
So I took the opportunity for a bluebell photo on the golf course this morning!

Is there a better sight in your kitchen cupboard? If there is I don't want it!!
Not sure about 8 servings, I could eat this in 1 go!
Healthy? No. But having them once a year it's ok.
Hopefully these will last until Easter!🤞🏼

Have a lovely Monday everyone!
Hope your week has started as well as Luca's has! New day, new rabbit hole to dig.
Cooper is less than impressed about it all! 😂

Cooper was livid having to wear his raincoat. If looks could kill!
He wasn't so livid when hairdryer came out & he didn't need to be near it for long💙
Luca's fur isn't as waterproof as Cooper's, so he needs more hair drying, especially his head. Luckily he likes it, bigger the blast the better🩵

A very muddy group neutral dog walk.
Luca was far from perfect, still reactions if we got too close or a dog dared to look at him, but lots of positive learning for us both & reducing his tolerance distance gradually.
Building new neural pathways, 1 step at a time.

Cooper's a creature of habit. He sits on the left in the boot & Luca on the right.
Can you see the confusion on Cooper's face this morning?
Luca hasn't been keen on the car recently so we play a game on the drive now before he jumps in to break the cycle. He jumped in 1st & pinched Cooper's spot!

It's a dribbly kind of morning apparently!
Too many good sniffs. Perhaps the muntjac🦌were around.
Luca was very proud of himself...
Passed 8 dogs
Heard 3 dogs kicking off behind some bushes
& NO reactions!!!
Lots of breakfast, sausage & bonus cheese snaffled instead! 🎉🥳

Torrential rain = quiet park
Luca did well with the dogs that were out braving the rain. So lots of bonus squeezy cheese to be had 🧀🦐
(Apologies for the soft focus, even my phone was soaked by this point!!)

Luckily we're on the edge of the storm, so winds aren't too strong here.
Strong enough to really show off that golden floof though!
Be careful out there if you're in the north of the UK.

Cooper hates his raincoat but I think he might have preferred it to this!
A pink Disney Frozen towel is never a good look. Even Luca is embarrassed!! (There's a 1st time for everything😂)

Makes a change for Luca to be barking at me & not a dog!
Unfortunately the shhhhh doesn't work when dogs are involved. His emotions are too strong to listen.
So today I thought I'd turn it into a game.
Cooper never used to bark at all, I taught him to bark on command for safety.

Back to the minus temps, frost & fog. Boys didn't seem to mind too much though.
Dare I tempt fate & say Luca has done amazingly well with the dogs on all the walks this week👏🏼 Still at good distances but gradually reducing it.
He must've made a NY resolution to try really hard to enjoy our games!

Tea towel means lie down & chill for 5 mins.
No doubt Luca finds this hard, so many good smells to investigate. But he knows the drill & is getting better at doing nothing out & about. (He's a pro at this at home btw!)
Cooper is happy as long as we're together & there are some treats.

1st walk back as a threesome in 6 weeks. We all smashed it!
Lots of dogs out today & a few challenging situations but just 1 single bark from Luca👏🏼
He even coped with a border collie charging towards us chasing a 🐦⬛ 20m away. So hard for him but sausage won! 😂
Cooper was...well Cooper 😇😘

So cold even the postbox topper was frozen!
Beautiful ☀️ & blue skies 💛💙 I'll take this 🥶❄️ over grey rain any day.
Short outing for Luca, but me & Cooper went a bit further. And typically we saw only 1 dog. Always the way. If we'd taken Luca we'd have seen 15!

Another 🥶❄️ start to the day. Kept it short but the dogs enjoyed a sniff, mooch & the odd sprint to keep warm!
Alex has gone back to Uni today, so it was our last walk with him for a while😭
He's been a huge help while I've been recovering from surgery.
I'm back on my own next week 😬🤞🏼🙏🏼
