Olive Goes Walkies!

The best thing about having a dog, apart from the wonderful companionship and the neverending entertainment, is undoubtedly the lovely walks.

After being patient for a couple of weeks, my husband and I could take it no longer. It was a gorgeous autumn day and we live just round the corner from one of the most beautiful parks in England, so we decided it was time for Olive to see the big, wide world and get muddy!



The leaves had all turned golden and rusty and gorgeous, making the park look even more beautiful. I'd never seen it like that, having only lived here for 4 months.


Olive loved the leaves and I noticed that where she could, she would go out of her way to walk where they were deepest!



Puppy's first stick!!! I suddenly saw her running at us with a stick (a twig really) in her mouth and I just realised 'yes, dogs love sticks!' I wonder why?! It's not like she's ever seen another dog with a stick to take influence from!



After proving that she is the fastest, most energetic puppy in the world, Olive did prove that some things are just too big for even her to get over.
I'm afraid that rather than help her, I just had to get the camera out!



We headed back as it started raining, our muddy, shattered pup, still bravely trying to squeeze out her last bit of energy, still attempting to investigate each smell and each blade of grass.

She got into the boot and looked like the most satisfied pup in the world.

There's nothing like falling asleep in front of the fire after a long autumnal walk.....






...... with your best buddy
