    Exercise!

    Holly will take all the exercise we can give her. Normally I walk her after breakfast and come home for lunch. A normal walk is 5-7 miles, 2-3 hours with stops for play and training. I crawl back to the car exhausted, she bounces back to the car ready to do it all over again.

    Best Waterproofs

    There seem to be a few outdoors places in the county, for example Cotswold Outdoors has a shop in Droitwich. Failing that you could always look online.

    Any outdoors shop should stock Nikwax products. Millets is usually cheapest.

    Soap clogs the breathable membrane. The Nikwax cleaner will unblock the holes so it can breathe again. The proofing agent restores the finish so that water forms droplets and runs off instead of soaking in. Nikwax isn't cheap, but a bottle of each will do all of our waterproofs and lasts for...

    OH and I do a lot of walking and have several waterproofs. For light showers and warm weather Goretex Packlite jackets are wonderful. They're lightweight, easy to pack, dry quickly, breathable and shed water well. For heavy drizzle and continuous light rain any mid-price breathable jacket...

    Do your dogs have Hyper days and Lazy days ?

    Holly's always pretty chilled out. She has made moments from time to time, but I'd never describe her as hyper.

    What is 'Under control'?

    I see dog owners walking their dogs from the bike most days. It's very common in the Forest. Many of the dogs look as if they're not enjoying it. They don't get time to do doggy things on their 'walk' but just have to trot along beside the bike. If they stop to say hello to Holly they have...

    The Kennel Club - no hoomans allowed!

    I took mum and dad for a nice walk today. We've had wet stuff from the sky and my wallows are very squishy. I got very muddy so they took me for a swim. Then we found blackberries and poop to eat. We found some people on bike things who had stopped for a picnic so I offered to help them but...

    Does your dog/dogs like routine ?

    Holly has a routine but doesn't get too hung up if it varies. Mealtimes must happen on time or she pesters us. She likes her big walk after breakfast, but so do I so there's no problem there. Everything else is negotiable.

    So glad that she's healing. When she's ready for longer walks we'll arrange a special celebratory SW pack walk for her.

    I had a walk with dad yesterday. He hasn't been able to walk for ages. We played swimmy fetch.
