More dogs and more snow

It’s still very white around here and a tad slippery when away from the main road/pavements in the village. Beautiful out in the fields though. Some more photos from the last few days …

My very handsome older Lab, nearly 11 but doesn’t believe he’s a day over 11 months and that’s how we’d like things to stay thank you:-)

A snow-clad gate which I thought was rather pretty …

This photo has made me smile LOTS since I downloaded it. Just what you need to cheer you up on a cold winter’s eve …

Looking rather stunning in the snowy sunshine:

I think this tree always looks beautiful with the sun behind it, whatever the weather …

And lastly but very gorgeously, a rather thoughtful pose from the collie:-)

Hope you’ve enjoyed looking?

Dogs in the Snow

If you’re in the UK, you’ll know all about the snow we have at the moment. I think it’s beautiful (when I’m not slipping over on it and landing on my behind!) but I know it’s making things really difficult for many people:(

We do love the snow in this house though, partly because we were married in Canada 11 years ago today, when the country had LOTS and LOTS of snow (even for Canada I gather it was extreme!). We were married in the evening in a small ceremony with a few friends and as we left the venue it was dark with lots of snow falling. So beautiful. We went to an Irish pub for dinner and a few drinks (our wedding reception!) and the waitress very kindly bought us a pint each, our first drinks as a married couple:-)

Anyway, enough of us, some photos of dogs in the snow, starting with Jasper, our newly adopted oldie:

He has a lovely thick coat to help keep him warm. These photos were in our garden just before a walk as he has to stay on lead for the time being.

I really like this one:)

This photograph features my lovely husband, who rather adores Jasper and the feeling is mutual. Plus Jasper of course and our lovely collie, who apparently didn’t want to be photographed at this particular time LOL.

Jasper, Daddy, Sno

Birthday Walk

Yesterday we went on a little group walk to celebrate a doggie birthday – as you do;-)It was for my beautiful Minnie-Moo, my youngest rescue dog.

Our new Oldies Club foster dog, Jasper, came with us and enjoyed himself:)

MM Walk1

The birthday girl had great fun with her birthday ball!

MM Walk2

A number of adopted Oldies Club dogs joined us on the walk with their families ~ there’s the lovely Joe …

MM Walk6

The gorgeous Sid, a black Labrador Retriever, who survived about six weeks in the pound, was rescued by a true angel of an Oldies Club supporter and then battled pneumonia, before finding his forever home:

MM Walk7

and the fabulous Jess the collie who is rather attached to her tennis balls!

MM Walk8

Really fantastic to see four Oldies Club dogs out walking together:)

The Basset cunningly avoided rolling into the river (we’re not sure how!)

MM Walk3

This little Robin decided to join us as we stopped at the pub for coffee and chips:)

MM Walk4

and on the way back we met this lovely Cavalier who was clearly very adored:)

MM Walk5

A really wonderful way to spend a few hours with some lovely dogs and their very nice owners:)More photos can be found HERE.

Reiki-On-Jasper

Jasper, our Oldies Club foster dog, is settling in well. He has been here for two days, since New Year’s Eve, after being saved from being put down.

He seems much more relaxed today than the day he arrived. I would say he is still missing someone, which is very sad :(, but he is far more settled and not pacing up and down as he was when he first arrived.

I am a Reiki (healing) practitioner so have been giving him lots of Reiki which is helping to relax and heal from recent events. I took these photos after a Reiki session today …

and I just love this photo of all four paws:)

He is also having various flower remedies to try to help him through this period of his life, which must be causing him considerable sadness.

Jasper is such a warm and friendly soul. Although it’s very “early days” he likes you to sit with him and have a snuggle. He’s a very good boy too, he waits to be let out in the garden to go to the loo and he’s been very well behaved inside the house.

The first few times I fed him, I asked him to sit before putting the bowl down (partly to see if he knew the word, which he did). Now when I hold his food bowl, he sits without being asked. Clever boy!
