Today we hooked up with Ali and Nat and their lovely handsome Golden Retriever Monty (on the right).
Friston Forest is about 45 minutes drive from our house and we go there every couple of months – what a treat. It’s so beautiful there – long footpaths, no sheep, fantastic views over the East Sussex countryside and the dogs LOVE it!
These are some of the pics fom this morning’s walk.
Here’s the handsome Monty:
What a wonderful way to spend a morning

As you may know from yesterday’s post, ‘snow stopped play’ which meant Georgie and Jessie had to do with a round the streets walk and no romping off the lead.
But by today the snow was melting, the roads had cleared and we were able to get to our favourite place.
Georgie was particularly ecstatic at the freedom again, and jumped and rolled and ran and stuffed her head in every bush as though she’d been in solitary confinement for a week.
While Jessie just wanted to play ball as usual

Well south-east England is almost at a stand still. Everyone knew the snow was coming but still no grit on our local roads, trains cancelled, general chaos.
So I bottled out of driving today or should I say sliding, and Georgie and Jessie had a local street walk instead of their normal off-lead extravaganza.
The day started off with a game of tug on our patio and then once we were all kitted out (Georgie with her Hawaiian bandana and Jessie with her saddle bags full of nothing in particular) we headed off.
Jessie has been terrible on the lead when she sees other dogs, so today we tried something new – a tube of cheese spread. Each time we saw a dog (we saw 4 this morning), I said ‘leave’ and rewarded her with a squirt! She loved it and almost forgot about the dogs – and we managed to get round with no barking. A miracle indeed!
Please - let me run around!
