My Favourite Spots

amandahan — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:20:53 +0000

These are some of my favourite snoozing spots!

on my bed with my duck in the sun by the coach windows ……

on the sofa by the fire (especially nice at night!)…….

and my all time favourite has to be …….

on Amanda and Ian’s bed!

Millar Ground

amandahan — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:58:32 +0000

This morning guess what? it rained! So we went into the woods for a walk under the shelter of the trees and came back and had a game of chase the tennis balls!

and then we went down to the lake for a walk along the shore at Millar Ground…

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!

Relaxing With Cuddles

amandahan — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 20:24:49 +0000

A bit of sofa relaxing before tea………

followed by evening snuggles and cuddles…..

and I think it’s about time for bed……….

Playing in the woods

amandahan — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:37:47 +0000

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

Don’t I make a very photogenic dog – even if I say so myself!

I even found a football!

taking a relaxing moment with Storm

and then in for a paddle…..

Docker Fell

amandahan — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:43:06 +0000

Well, yes, it did rain but we did get a few dry patches and some pictures!

The nicely muddy track leading to the fell…….

playing in the heather……..

up on the top!

and for a few minutes we even got a view…..

We’re Football Crazy….

amandahan — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 07:28:04 +0000

This morning it was wet – oh so wet! But we still had great fun with two acres of field, 3 footballs and lots of rain…..

whippeeeee………………

this is fun!

then it was back to the house for breakfast and you know Amanda said no footballs in the house? Look what I managed to sneak in…….

Up O’er T’Helm

amandahan — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:07:40 +0000

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!)

that’s me on the way up!

The view from the top….

me avoiding the self timer on the camera by ducking behind a rock….

and once again we all slept soundly when we got back……

A Walk Up Whinfell

amandahan — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 13:05:28 +0000

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.

and we even found a small tarn to have a play in on the way down – luckily for Amanda the water was clean!!

and when we got home we all went for a snooze….

Arrival: Westmorland Dog Boarding

amandahan — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 12:37:49 +0000

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.

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.

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!

before retiring to bed!
