It was very wet even under the trees but we all had great fun and a nice towel dry when we got back home, some schmacko’s and then Siula and I fell sleep on Amanda’s lap!

Playing in the woods

August 25, 2009

This afternoon we had more rain but the woods at the bottom of the valley made for a nice sheltered walk ….

Up O’er T’Helm

August 24, 2009

The Helm is a fell above Kendal and seeing as the weather was so great today we went for yet another walk (these humans – I don’t know!)

August 24, 2009

2009_0824aug090280

ah, yes, this is us eagerly looking on while breakfast is being made! This was after our 1st walk  of the day and a game of footy!! Energetic lot arent we!

Then we went for a walk up Whinwell, the fell opposite the house – the weather was warm and sunny.

Arrival: Westmorland Dog Boarding

August 23, 2009

Hi,

My name’s Lotty and I’m a Springer Spaniel. I’ve come to stay at Westmorland Dog Boarding while mum and dad have a few days holiday.

2009_0824aug090304

After mum and dad had a nice cup of coffee to make sure I’d settled in I went for a walk down the valley and along the beck with Amanda, Storm and Siula, this was followed by tea and a play of football in the field opposite the house.

2009_0824aug090292

Yes, I know it’s not a football but we are only allowed tennis balls in the house!!

Then it was time to snuggle up for the evening – which was done in style by all of us!
