Yoga in a time of lockdown…

time for a walk on the beach….

wouldn't that be lovely? As we sit here, in retreat, which some call quarantine or isolation, it's good to remember the carefree days on the beach with the dogs.

Well I never knew that….

Having had dogs around at home all my life - various combinations of rescues, cross breeds and pedigree working dogs - mainly bitches and often more than one, I had never experienced aggression within the pack until this summer...(if you don't count the time in Suffolk when mother in laws three turned on my Spaniel … Continue reading Well I never knew that….

Phew what a scorcher….

as the famous headline goes... glorious day with dogs lounging around in various places to cool off. So, there is the old dog, lying next to me as I type - under a window with a delightful breeze just ruffling the curtains. There is the brown dog, upside down and legs akimbo on the sofa … Continue reading Phew what a scorcher….
