Important decisions our dogs must make.

Harley loves water and swims a lot and she likes mud, but avoids puddles on a path! Don’t ask me why

Reuben enters all water and mud with absolute joy , Nelly does neither x

I know Guide Dogs that walk round puddles.

Wispa loves water and particularly enjoys swimming. Tuppence is more cautious: she swims with her head out of the water and would really prefer to keep her paws on whatever is underneath! They both love muddy puddles, though!

Pepper always chooses wallow without fail!

Red walks around puddles on our evening walks - it’s a hoot - she even sees them in the dark and avoids them. She loves to swim in the sea. She did however do a lot of wallowing with her mates when she was in the kennels recently - I saw the evidence on Facebook


She’s the dark yellow one with her tail in the air, paddling in their rain sodden paddock

Having a great time isn't she?

 

[Atemas]

Every day @Selina27 I saw lots of photos of her and I could see she was having a great time - they give them two good exercise sessions each day and interact with them. My daughter’s greyhound was there too and we asked if they could spend some time together which they kindly did. Red came home very chilled - always a good sign

Was she pleased to see you?

Sounds like you found really good kennels, you can see that she's enjoying herself.

 

[Atemas]

She was ecstatic @Selina27 - typical bouncy Labrador. Bit sad when she came in the house and was looking for Sky but went nuts when she saw F. The kennels @Candy are managed by a very young lady and her team whose dream from a young age has always been to work with dogs. Her enthusiasm and love for the dogs is a joy to watch

 

[Pepper]

And here’s Pepper about to have a wallow this afternoon with his friend Louis!

I'm hoping the place we've chosen for Maxx is as good as yours @Atemas. They have free range at all times but supervised. They too have promised daily pics on FB. I think he will have a ball and probably miss all his mates when we come home

 

[Atemas]

He’ll be fine and I honestly think our dogs, if they are happy ‘go with the flow’. I think the supervision and interaction from humans is essential for relaxed dogs. Red has just slotted straight back in at home (although I know she misses Sky). I know it was only a week but she has 2 separate 1 nighters coming up so we will see if she’s the same. I have noticed much more focus on us - whether that’s just coincidence I don't know.
My daughter’s dog who was there for some of the same time was equally chilled on going home which was good to hear.
