Well it was a case of spot 👀 the Buddy 💙 on this mornings 🌤️ walkies 🐾 It’s his last walkies before he goes home 🏠 this afternoon and i took them to the field 🌳🐦‍⬛☘️🌼🍁 at Berry Pomeroy. Although a short walk🚶‍♀️Buddy 💙 must have had triple his daily exercise 🐾 because as soon as we got in the gate he was racing off like a dog possessed as he could see 👀 and hear all the pheasants 🐦 He had an absolute wail of a time, flushing them all out and all i could hear in the distance was him squealing 🤣 with excitement every time one got away and stickie🪾throwing was only on the agenda just the once today. . . . After Buddy 💙 goes home 🏠 I’m closed until Friday the 13th (I’m off to Bridgewater carnival 🎡🎪 with my friend and spending a few days in lovely Cheddar to check out and reminisce where i was brought up as a young child. My boys 💙 are staying with another good friend so they’ll be having their own little holiday, i will miss 😔 them terribly as they always come away with me)

Although a shorter walkies 🐾 the boys 💙 all thoroughly enjoyed themselves exploring all around Primary Park 🌳🐦‍⬛🍁🍄🛝 Buddy 💙 couldn’t wait to get in the woods🌲 to find his branches 🪾and Toby 💙 knew what was coming and remembered to duck 😆 every time he came charging 🐾 past him. We went down to bottom fields ☘️ and I’ve not seen my Buster 💙 be so involved on a walk as he was today, he was in his element, on high squirrel 🐿️ alert and giving chase 🐾 to one and having a good old sniff with Buddy 💙 in and around the bushes 🌿🍂 There was definitely something of real interest in there 👀
and they all had a great time.

The lads 💙 all had a lovely walkies 🐾 down at Clennon Valley 🌳🐦‍⬛🍁🚴🏽‍♂️⚽️🥅 today. Buddy 💙 charged 🐾 across the field ☘️🍂 and took the plunge 😆 in the first part of the lake 💧luckily there were no ducks 🦆 or swans 🦢 about and the duck he did see he was very good and took no notice of it, totally focused on having a fun time splashing 💦 about in the water. Buster 💙 was on the lookout 👀 for squirrels 🐿️ at the tree 🌳 so Buddy 💙 had to check it out as well and then Buster 💙 found something to sniff out at the water’s edge and nearly got knocked over 🙄 when Buddy 💙 whizzed past him getting out of the lake. On the way through Buddy 💙 was debating if if could set sail in the boat 🚣🏻 after climbing 🤣 in it, it wouldn’t move so he resorted to going in the water again 🙄 while Buster 💙 was in the bushes having a good sniff. Back around the field and it was stick throwing duty for me with Buddy 💙 getting a tad impatient and sticking that tongue 👅 out at me again. 🤣

Buddy 💙 and my boys 💙 enjoyed exploring and sniffing all around Scadson Woods 🌳🐦‍⬛🪵🍄🍁🌿🐿️ this afternoon ☁️💨 We went in a different way, around the back of the BMX bike 🚲 track which Buddy 💙 had to go down into to investigate and he was off searching 👀 for sticks as usual and found a den on the way. Then I’m sure he sensed their was water💧and headed straight for the stream to have a lie down 😆 splash 💦 about in. On the way back Buster 💙 got a scent of something and was up the banks 🌿🍂 having a good sniff. . . Back home 🏡 and while my boys 💙 were napping 💤 Buddy 💙 still wanted to play 🤣 plonking the Pringle squeaky toy in front of me to throw for him. 🙄

I had a lovely walk🚶‍♀️with the boys 💙 and my friend today 🌤️ and despite living nearby in Moretonhampstead I’ve never been here before, beautiful Hisley and Pullerbrook woods 🌳🐦‍⬛🍂☘️🍄🪵🌿🐿️ near Lustleigh. Well to say Buddy 💙 had an amazing time is an understatement. He was in search 👀 of tree branches🪾and water💧as soon as we got there. Then when we came to Hisley bridge there was no stopping him straight in the river💧🐟 head under 😆 fishing out rocks 🪨 and while we stopped for coffee ☕️ and lunch 🥪🍊🍰 he was barking his head off with excitement for me to throw the logs he was finding, where as my boys 💙 were content with a good sniff. On the way back Buddy’s 💙 stick finds seemed to get longer so our legs🦵took a few beatings 🙄 and Buster 💙 and Toby 💙 had to do a lot of ducking 🤣 as he charged 🐾 by with them, not a care in the world and enjoying every minute of his new adventure 😁. . . Back home 🏡 and job done 👍🏻 😴 all content and sleeping 💤 like babies 🥰 before it’s dinner 🥘 time.

Well i didn’t think I’d get the boys 💙 out for a walkies 🐾 today ⛅️ as my car 🚐 was making a weird 😬 noise but thanks to Ben at Paignton Body Repair Centre he fitted me and a man came out and found the problem straight away, turned out there wasn’t any power steering fluid, “what am i like” 🙄 Thanks again so much to them for saving the day and the worry. I’ve been going here for years, great staff and nothing is ever too much trouble😊. . . So after lunch we had a little walkies 🐾 around the field 🌳🍂☘️🌼🐇 at Collaton St Mary. I checked there were no sheep 🐑 in there first and through the gate Buddy 💙 was off racing 🐾 around like a dog possessed 😆 My boys 💙 took a more leisurely approach and enjoyed a good sniff around pigeon 🐦 and pheasant feathers 🪶 and on the lookout 👀 for rabbits 🐇 Buddy 💙 found something to roll in 🙄 not sure what it was and Buster 💙 had to copy him 🤣 with Toby 💙 looking 👀 on wondering what he was doing. Then Buddy 💙 presented me with the first stick to throw and further down the field came across a huge one and i said “don’t even think I’m throwing that one” 🤣 and Buster 💙 had a sniffies around it. When it was time to go Buddy 💙 obviously didn’t want to and charged back up the field 😆 He had so much energy 🐾 today and had a great time.

Lovely Rosie 💖 went home 🏠 this morning 🌤️ after her long 23 night holiday. She’s had an absolutely fantastic time on so many different adventures 🐾 and made so many friends 🐕 with Monty 💙 Bobby 💙 and little Terrence 💙 being her besties 🥰. . .Thank you to her owners Nick and Mary for the lovely note book 📖 and fridge magnet 🐘 you bought back from you holiday to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 and Australia 🇦🇺 It’s so very kind 😊 and thoughtful of you both. Believe it or not the note book and pages are made from recycled elephant 🐘 poo 💩 (and no it doesn’t smell 😆 which was the first thing i did when they gave it to me, i gave it a good sniffing 🤣) . . . After such a long stay I’m going to miss Rosie 💖 girl this evening and i think my Buster 💙 will to as he liked cuddling up with her at night time. 🛌 🥰

It was Rosie’s 💖 last walkies 🐾 before she goes home 🏠 tomorrow 😒 and as one friend Big Buddy 💙 had gone home 🏠 she had another new friend join us, Elma 💖 the English Bull Terrier 🐕 who is my nieces and her fiancé’s doggie so i had the pleasure 🥰 of their company as well today ⛅️ They’re always up for new and interesting walks🚶‍♀️so what better place to bring them than to my favourite, beautiful Staverton 🌳🚂 Elma 💖 Buddy 💙 and Rosie 💖 had so much fun charging 🐾 off through the woods 🌳🍁🍄🌿🐿️ and Buddy 💙 made us laugh 😆 how he came out the bushes 🌿🍂 each time with bigger and bigger sticks 🪵 and then our legs took a bashing 🤣 as he ran past us to be up front. I showed Rach and Marce the lovely Glade 🛖 area and the pups 🐶🐕‍🦺🐕 had a good time sniffing and exploring. Then we went down to the river💧🦆 Rosie 💖 and Elma 💖 enjoyed a paddle and were mesmerised 👀 at Buddy 💙 acting a loon 😆 splashing 💦 about in the water having the time of his life, swimming, ducking and diving for pebbles as well 🤣 Then off we went through the woods 🌲 to the field ☘️ near the deer 🦌 park and continued the loop through the woods again. Buddy 💙 kept racing off ahead desperate to get back to the river💧and when he eventually did he couldn’t get back up the bank 🌿 so Marce had to go down to the rescue, thank goodness he was with me as it was very steep to get to and i can’t imagine how i would have got back up 😬 if i was on my own, thanks again Marce. 😊. . . It was such a great adventure 🐾 for them all today.

After Morwenna 💖 went home 🏠 this morning ⛅️ the rest of the gang 🐕‍🦺 🐶🐕‍🦺 went on another fabulous adventure 🐾 En route we past the river💧🦆 and of course Spaniel Buddy 💙 couldn’t resist taking the plunge 💦 and really enjoyed his swim with the other looking 👀 on thinking “this guy’s 🐕‍🦺 bonkers” 🤣 We then went along the path towards Dartington C***r press and they all went in and had lots of fun paddling and swimming in the little stream💧at the end. Then we headed up through the woods 🌳🦅🪵🍄🌿🍂 to explore with Spaniel Buddy 💙 charging in and out of the bushes 🌿 finding sticks to carry 😆 and Rosie 💖 did some digging 🐾 Going through the top fields ☘️🌼🐇 big Buddy 💙 stopped in his tracks, looking 👀 and listening for squirrels 🐿️ in the trees🌲and he did and about turn and raced off up in the bushes in search 👀 of them, he was happy 😁 as a pixie. Back in the woods 🌳 and big Buddy 💙 was on a roll racing off ahead with his Spaniel 🐕‍🦺 friend, while the others had a good sniff. Buster 💙 was investigating something of interest 👀 in 😆 and up the tree 🌳 Then big Buddy 💙 had to go back on lead here as i remembered from last time i bought him on this walk🚶‍♀️he was a bit of a naughty boy, he suddenly went tone deaf 🙄 and made his way down the bank 🌿🍂 and into the road at the bottom and a lady very kindly waited with him until i got to him. . .They all throughly enjoyed 😊 themselves again today.

“Well didn’t they 🐶🐕‍🦺🐕🐕‍🦺 have a lovely time 😁 playing at the river”💧🦆🌿🦭🛶🏊‍♀️ I took a ball with me today 🌤️ but didn’t actually need it as Morwenna 💖 sneaked onto the school Astro pitch and claimed a nice yellow ball 🟡 for herself 🤣 and there was no way I’d get it back off her. As soon as we got over the bridge, albeit a bit slow for Buster 💙 Rosie 💖 and Toby 💙 as they hate crossing them 😆 the fun commenced 😁 The two Spanner’s 🐕‍🦺🐕 had a brilliant time swimming 💦 out for the ball with Big Buddy 💙 and Rosie 💖 charging out after them but not quite confident to swim. They all played so well together and shared the ball nicely. Buster 💙 and Toby 💙 stood to the side spectating 👀 and Rosie 💖 was in her element digging 🐾 for nothing 😆 in the sludgy sand and mud. She was filthy 😳 and looked like she had boots 🥾 on 😆 but she was enjoying herself and soon cleaned off well when she splashed 💦 through the water chasing the others. Spaniel Buddy 💙 was happy as he found a couple of big sticks to carry and on the way back i don’t think him and Morwenna 💖 wanted to leave, they thought they were going in for another dip. 💦. . . It was only a short walk🚶‍♀️for me but they all had the best time.
