bikes and things

Two brilliant videos of dogs. Still want one, still can’t have one.This first one is at Swinley Forest where I sometimes ride.

And a dog balancing on a rope! Amazing.

This isn’t helping me not want a dog. So, so good.

Fairly productive morning so far working on some posters for The Chequers.

Such a great little video and so much better than some dry picture and bit of text on a website.

Which also gives me an excuse to show my other favourite member of staff at DeMatos Ryan..

What’s not to like?

Great to have a quick walk with Dallas the Labradoodle from The Gowlett. Been meaning to take him for a stroll for a while now. He seemed to have a great time chasing round the park with no real concern for anything except smells, peeing on trees and the occasional stick.

Managed to get a second quick ride in this Sunday, again with the dog in Cambridge along the same Roman road as the day before. Has a superb carvery lunch before so felt the need to burn some of it off. This time I took the Brompton for a bit of fun and gave snoopy a good run out. I think it knackered him out poor thing. Took a proper camera this time and was treated to a beautiful afternoon of sunshine.

And here’s snoopy running along smiling.

Our second weekend looking after Gina for Ray and Valentina as they headed to Wales for a wedding. We were a little nervous after she turned our lives upside down for four days the last time but said yes anyway. Amazingly she was far better this time and we had a great time. Lots of walks, lots of chasing and barking at anything that moves and also lots of playing with oversized sticks. I think I bored everyone to death with Instagram pics of her all weekend but I got a few more with the proper camera.

Looking forward to having her stay again.

We have our friend’s dog staying with us this weekend. It’s been quite an experience so far. She’s got a lot of energy so we have to play with her to try and tire her out a bit so she sleeps later. The favourite toy seems to be the bee which we drag around the living room and then chase her under the table. She loves it.

She also has quieter moments at times.
