Fun at the Fun Day……

/in

Good Life HQ has been a hive of activity leading up to the fun day at Sherwood Canine Hydrotherapy Centre. We’ve been baking our favourite treats to share with all the dog show contestants.

The most popular by far is Liver cake which we made into cupcakes for the fun day.

We also shared our Cheesy biscuits, Tuna Loaf, Liver biscuits and Ginger biscuits. All went down a storm!

The weather stayed fine, despite the warning of a tornado, and Bella the beagle had a great time saying hello to all her new friends.

There were lots of dogs coming for a swim while we were there, something which we will have to try out very soon. The family swim sessions look great……!

Fun Day!

Well….. There’s lots going on in the kitchen this week.

Good Life Dog Walking will be attending the Charity Fun Day at Sherwood Canine Hydrotherapy on Sunday 23rd August. We will be taking along some scrummy home made dog treats, so please pop over and say hello.

The fun starts at 1.30pm. There are stalls and there will be a fun dog show too!

(Back to the kitchen I go…..!)

Back Home

Back home from a wonderful week away and lots to do!

We spent the weekend putting the new signs on the van, it’s looking pretty good all liveried up (if I do say so myself).

There has been a good deal of walking going on over the last couple of days too as we tour the local pet business establishments, asking them to display postcards and business cards. They’re all a very friendly bunch and have been a great help. Thank you……

We popped over to Hooner too to get Bella measured up for her new harness. She’s lost quite a bit of her excess weight so thought it was safe to ask Kerri and Ben to start work on her canicross gear, all ready for the new season.

Tomorrow we might just take a trip to Rockingham Castle to check out how our friends are doing in the agility competition………

 

Hadrian’s Wall

Yesterday we went exploring our Roman Heritage.

Starting off at Birdoswald Roman Fort, we learnt how to be a Roman Soldier – a great talk by a Legionnaire (interspersed with doggie voiceover from Bella and Ozzie!) before exploring the Fort itself. After refreshments in the café, we had a wander along a good length of Hadrian’s Wall.

Moving on, we stopped at Walltown where the boys went off to look in the Roman Army Museum while me and the four legged ones explored the crags and walked along a very undulating section of the wall. The view from the top was amazing!

 

What a view!

What a view!

After dinner in the pub, we returned to the cottage where the dogs all chilled before sleeping like babies….zzzzz

Good Life Dog Walking goes on holiday

/in

Well, here we are in glorious Northumberland.

We’re staying in a lovely little cottage not far from Kielder Water. There are wildlife cameras hooked up to the TV where we have been fascinated by the local Badgers and Barn Owls and there are plenty of birds to see taking advantage of the feeders in the garden too….. Siskins, Robins, Greenfinches, Chaffinches and many more.

The dogs had a whale of a time walking yesterday from Leaplish waterside park. We walked around the perimeter of Bull Cragg Peninsula, stopping to play in the water wherever possible. We didn’t see any ospreys but I’m sure we will be back there later in the week……the chip cobs at the pub afterwards were amazing! Big fat chunky chips….just how I like them!

Off to explore some more………….Back soon!
