Wiggle - Day 1,967

Today has been cold but sunny so this afternoon we had a lovely walk along the old railway track.  Once we were over the bridge and Wiggle could go offlead, he only wanted one thing - his tennis ball:

Once he got his ball, he was off!

Sofy was sulking because she couldn't go offlead - she's too obsessed with hunting for birds and bunnies!

Wiggle went down towards the stream (but came back when he realised there was nothing exciting on the other side of the fence):

Sofy heard a pheasant.  Sofy wanted to hunt for pheasant:

Stopping at the turn-around bench:

Wiggle wanted to go through the gate and down to the river but its too cold for swimming!

The end of our walk and Wiggle's halt:

Wiggle - Day 1,966

Today's been a dreary sort of a day with lots of rain but we were lucky earlier and got a walk in between showers.  Wiggle and Sofy ran around, checking for new smells since we had been in the field yesterday:

While Wiggle carried on sniffng, Sofy was boinging around:

After a while, Wiggle came running back to me, carrying his tennis ball:

Stopping to sniff almost turned nasty for Wiggle - Sofy needed to wee and almost got Wiggle on his head!

Sofy: "I wouldn't have wee'd on Wiggle's head. Honest":

Wiggle: "I'm taking my ball and getting out of Sofy's way!":

Cute, "throw the ball" face:

So while Wiggle was busy with his ball, Sofy made her own fun when she found a boggy puddle:

Wiggle - Day 1,964

I realised that I hadn't shared some photo's from our lovely walk in Richmond Park when we were in London at the weekend and as there hasn't been much to report for this week, here they are.

Wiggle, as usual, ran ahead:

Wiggle was busy, running with his ball:

Sofy stayed closer to me, ever hopeful that there might be a treat for her:

Group sniffing:

Lovely Cato:

Still running with his ball:

Cato was boining around, enjoying our walk:

While Wiggle and Sofy stopped to sniff, Cato didn't have time to stand still:

Toby, just being handsome:

We had a lovely weekend and can't wait til we go again!

Wiggle - Day 1,960

This evening a lot of time has been spent playing.  Even though we had been to Richmond Park for a nice long walk, Wiggle, Sofy and Cato were full of energy after their dinner.

Wiggle started with some shredding:

It's surprising how much stuffing can come out of one toy!

Once the stuffing had been cleared away, we thought we would have a peaceful evening. We thought wrong!

Sofy and Cato have been spending lots of time bonding, getting to know each other. Sofy can be funny with other dogs, but we've let them have the time and space to become friends as they will spend lots of time together.

This is what happened earlier:

After a gentle tap on the nose, both adopted a more submissive position:

Cato likes to tap noses with her paw:

And Sofy doesn't seem to mind!

Nose to nose:

Getting a but more active with their play:

Play-bowing and some rarr-rarrrring:

After that, Sofy decided to roll over and be the submissive one:

Now though, they are all fast asleep.....

Wiggle - Day 1,959

This afternoon we went over to Wimbledon for our walk and the most fun was definitely had in the pond:

 

 

Wiggle - Day 1,958

This morning we had a lovely walk over at Greenwich. we'd had such a lovely time when we went before that we thought we would go back today.

Despite the forecast of rain, we had a dry, autumn day as Wiggle and Sofy sat in the park with Canary Wharf in the background:

Toby had fun, running around:

Sitting, waiting for the ball:

Cato stopped briefly for a quick scratch:

Sofy, beng a Good Girl:

Running downhill:

Wiggle looking across to the museums, which we had visited in the summer:

Having fun in the park:

After a good, long walk, we stopped for snacks - sausage rolls!

Wiggle and Sofy place their order:

After a lovely walk, all 4 dogs were tired so had a restful afternoon but saved some energy for play time this evening:

Toby was happy to watch while Wiggle, Sofy and Cato played with their toys:
