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 …
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 …
When your best friend lives an 8 hour drive away and is getting married, the best thing to do is turn it in to a road trip 🙂 We set off the afternoon before the wedding and headed North. We took our time stopping regularly for breaks as it was warm (less so the further …

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 …
Our friend Isla and Stevie came to stay for a few days. Zephyr met Stevie a couple of years a go when he came to visit and kept his distance. We were amazed to see how keen Zephyr was to interact with Stevie during this visit and it really highlighted the progress he has made! …
On an early morning dog walk (excuse my pyjamas!) we bumped in to a neighbour who happened to have her camera and managed to take a snap of the whole family! I LOVE this bunch!
As far as the wolfies are concerned it is toooooo hot! They are spending their days lying around and trying to keep cool. They have a pool and like to dig holes in the garden so they can lie in the cool earth. They get their energy back around about 9pm when it gets cooler …
The lovely Karen Murphy is staying with us for a couple of days (well, in her camper van on our drive!) and last night she and Leon were working on introducing her dog Nanook (Northern Inuit) to Tuchena. Tuchena can be quite reactive to other dogs and it took them sometime to get to this …
Leon was away camping on Saturday night and Tuchena misses him loads (she is definitley 'his dog'). She was feeling a bit needy and insecure with the man of the house gone, so decided that it would be best to sleep on my head, just to make sure she knew where I was at all …
