Where did you walk your dog(s) today?

[mymumdom]

I got this idea from the riding log in The Tack Room.
I thought if dog owners wrote a bit each day about where they took their dogs, and what they did with them, it might give other people some ideas for new places to take their dogs.
I like hearing about other people's walks anyhow...

We went to the park. Puppy loved chasing leaves. Normally he swims in the river, but its too high just now.

usual walk around the fields which are all lovely and ploughed and flat now and all the paths cut back so i can see if there is anyone coming, so I can put my highly untrustworthy collie on her lead. before she eats other dogs
Threw a ball for the mad spaniel after he'd chased all the seagulls off the field, stopped for a bit of first aid on spaniel due to sudden mysterious laying down and chewing of paw. However nothing found, think he may have trodden on a wasp.
Didn't meet anyone. Not even the dog walking lady and her humongous pack of allsorts.

we went through the woods (where I got hit on the head by several spikey conkers)which is by a big river, then popped out onto the road at the other end, did a lap of the park in tthe village we were in and back through the woods.
wanted to go to another river today but have heard reports (from local doggy people) that several dogs have been stung by wasps there recently so might give that one a miss.

We did the same as yesterday. Up the hill, off lead chasing, then back down the hill. A lap of the sports pitch, then a rest while DD played in the park, then home.

Also with us today was DD's imaginary puppy, who seems to be far better than the rotties at coming back when he is called

Tuesdays and Thursdays I have DS with me which severely curtails the opportunity for long, exciting dog walks. We end up going to parks that have fenced off playgrounds in them and park as far away from the playground as possible. So today we had a 10 minute off lead walk there, 20 mins of the dogs running around the playground while DS played, then a 15 minute walk bag as the dogs stopped to play with a dalmation.
It wasn't very exciting for them but they are both zonked out nicely.

Yesterday and today took Oscar (3 yr old B C) to school first thing (2 miles there and back) , with the wind yesterday Dp took him out for a short run off lead before it got dark.

Today, as the wind has calmed down after dropping Ds at school took Oscar through the park where he ran about playing for 20-25 mins with the other dogs .

DD will take him out for a short lead walk after school and Dp will take him out for a off lead run later this eve.

Morning wise - it doesn't usually alter ie school run unless I have to go shops etc after school drop off (we've had a few travellers locally take a great interest in him - so we don't tie him up outside shops etc). If I can't take him on the school run I take him for a good run when I get home.

Today and yesterday Meg and I went for an hour and a half walk around the headlands. Well, yesterday was an hour and a half because I got lost after taking what I thought was a shortcut! Both days were lovely and off lead. We didn't see a soul but we did find a 'secret' bridge down in a dip between some cliffs and yesterday we found a 'secret' beach! Meg still doesn't fancy the water though. Any tips on getting her swimming without having to go in myself?

Took Daiz to an oflfeash park by the river to throw balls. We sort of fell in with a motley group of people and dogs who I think go down there most days at that time. The people sort of shuffled about and vaguely chatted while the dogs had a gorgeous time. It felt a bit like joining a gang.

I only walked one today :( The old boy woke up off his legs so he's been at the local vet's today having blood tests. We've had him on Trocoxil which has been good for his pain, but is slowly farking his liver.
The Lurcher had a good walk anyhow, she met up with a young and very lively Rhodesion Ridgeback who was more than a match for her.
