Living with Wolfdogs
Here we go again.... This time it is Tuchena's turn! On 14th March I noticed a large cut on Tuchena's hip. She and Zephyr had been playing in the garden and they can play rough and fast. We guess that this had something to do with it, but can't be sure. She obviously caught it …

A couple of weeks ago 'The Beast from the East' brought heavy snow to the west country. We rarely get snow of any significance, so along with the chaos it causes (being stuck at work for two days because I couldn't get home) it is also a great opportunity for us to get outside and …
Manbeast has started taking his running a bit more seriously lately (as opposed to my permanently injured approach!) and been upping his miles. He decided to try an off-road marathon distance across Exmoor last month and .....you guessed it, Zephyr and I got roped in as support crew. The idea was for him to meet …
Our friends (Dan & Kim) moved from Bath to Aberystwyth earlier this year and now that they are settled we decided it was time to pay them a visit! I met Dan when we worked together about 15 years ago and we have always kept in touch - you know sometimes how someone comes in …
On Friday afternoon Leon, Zephyr and I set off for Okehampton for this years Dartmoor in a Day challenge. This year there was the option to do a shorter distance of 30k which would start from the checkpoint at Postbridge and I had convinced my friend Emma that we should do it - after all …
So this is it, the reason we bought the camper van.....a 12 night trip around the Scottish Highlands. We planned to take the route known as the NC500 (North Coast 500) which starts at Inverness and heads West, follows the West Coast up to Durness, then the North Coast road East to John O'Groats and …
At the end of last Summer we purchased a van to convert into a camper (known as Albus the Adventure Bus). I had tried camping with Zephyr in my small VW Caddy van, but it was a bit of a squeeze and Zephyr won't go near a tent. Over the Autumn and Winter Leon and …
On the evening of Sunday 23rd January this year, Zephyr came in from the garden looking like this... ...I thought perhaps he had been in a scuffle with a badger, although we hadn't heard anything. I bathed it in hibiscrub in case there was anything nasty lurking in it and went to bed. The following …
So, the Christmas and New Year break were busy for Zephyr 🙂 I made lots of plans to continue to work on his ever growing confidence (have i mentioned just how proud I am of him lately??). The first few years may have seem so terribly slow and soul destroying, but we are now reaping …

I was recently contacted by a local rescue centre, they had taken on a six month old female Czechoslovakian wolfdog X named Tala and wanted to ensure she received appropriate play and social skills. Unfortunately she has double hip-displaysia which means she needs to be careful not to cause any further damage and is kept …
