Living with Wolfdogs
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.

Hendrix 24.06.2005 - 24.02.2017 Hendrix was 'the' dog, a dog in a million and the dog that changed our world. He was our first dog, we were young (ish) and had no idea what we were doing. It didn't seem to matter though, Hendrix knew exactly how to be the …

I have just realised that it has been over a year since I updated this Blog!! It has been a busy year, I managed to complete a degree in leadership and management and qualify as a TTouch practitioner. Now I have some free time I will get back to blogging about my adventures with Zephyr. …
When you go on holiday in the UK during November it is a good idea to have some 'rainy day plans'. For me this year, that included attempting to make a snufflemat for the dogs. The idea of a snufflemat is for there to be lots of layers for a dog to snuffle about in …
We have been so busy for the last couple of weeks that I haven't even had time to upload photos of our adventures! September has been great - I spent 6 days at Tilley Farm on my fourth TTouch Practitioner training clinic. I took Otis this time and it was lovely to have him to …
