Belfairs Woods

Mum cleaned the car out.... that means we are going out somewhere 

The only problem is Charlie, the tom cat decided he wanted to come with us.

Mum had a new place for us to explore..... Belfairs woods....

It was full of trees and interesting smells..... I found a small furry to chase..... 

apparently they are called squirrels... I call them fun!

I was having fun scaring all the local dogs by woooing at them.... think the locals may have thought they had a wolf problem

There were these strange men, hitting balls with sticks then walking after it..... I wanted to fetch the balls for them!

Tala was being good......hehehe knew it wouldn't last 

She jumped in a swampy bit..... it was wonderfully smelly.

Mum wasn't impressed..... we will be going back again soon....

Hopefully we can meets some friends there next time.... 

Mum might not get lost next time!

More adventures to follow....

Hadleigh Country Park

Another early start..... the weather is already quite warm...... mum loaded us in the car to go to

The woods were really pretty as the bluebells were out.... although this was slightly lost on me.... I found lots of new smells to investigate

Mum twisted her ankle on the rough ground, and was walking quite slowly to start.... I just wanted to get going

Mum took both of us while the young one took photo's

Mum made us stand still and listen ..... the young one had never heard woodpeckers drilling before

The views were stunning 

As we reached the bottom of the hill..... we could hear a strange noise... we went to investigate..... it was a pond full of breeding frogs... they were making a right racket.... Tala thought it would be a good place to swim in.... Mum said no!

We had to walk through a field of cattle but they were a long way away, so we didn't take any notice of them.

We found plenty of marshy bits to walk through

It was getting really hot so Mum headed us back to the car

Tala enjoys getting muddy .... I am a good boy and stayed quite clean

We both had a well deserved drink

Mum has an app on her phone that plotted where we walked ..... it's called smart runner

When we got home... we had to have a foot wash..... marsh water is very stinky!!

More adventures soon!

Malamute Matters walk at Dry Street

The morning started like any other, then mum put us in the car..... They were talking about a dry street walk

Sounded boring to me .... walking around streets!! 

This is situated close to Langdon Country Park... we arrived at the car park Tala started wooing so I joined in.... We were very loud!

Everyone started to turn up.... Tala stood quite calmly, although she did have a moment with Dancer.... I got over excited and started jumping everywhere wooing loudly, which set everyone else of too!

We waited until 11am then set off.... we soon settled into walking well.

Mum thought it would be a good idea for us to start at the back..... but before long we were walking well in the pack

This is little Bruce

We came to a clearing where we ran into a group of young lads training for rugby... Fenris, Mya and Dancer greeted them with licky kisses

We waited for Steven to join us, as everyone was back on leads,  Fenris and Mya started to play

The joggers moved off and we continued, after having lots of fusses........... and treats

We had soon done a circuit, and set off again in a different direction... this took us past lots of large animals called horses.

Steven had brought his bike so rode ahead with Fenris and Mya running with him

Dancer tried hiding in the bluebells.....

The walk went well...... Fenris and Mya decided to exercise the humans as they went to investigate a field of horses........... I didn't realise humans could run so fast.... I was impressed

The only other thing that the humans reacted to was Bruce trying to eat a large mouthful of horse poop.... it's not for eating but I did really want to roll in it!

We finished the walk in a place called the pub....

there was large buckets of water.... we all  drank lots

Fenris and  Mya continued to play

Bruce was a very tired little puppy dog

Tala insisted on telling everyone off

Dancer sat and watched

Mum says it was the perfect end to the walk...... the humans sat and talked....... when we tried to we were told to be quiet...... not fair!!

We raised lots of pennies for the Malamute Matters rescue group......  this is where our humans hang out, if you are on Facebook come and find the group.

The next walk is planned for 1st June

We all left to go home tired but happy moots!!


walking with us was Sue, Dawn, Gemma, Katie, Steven, Neil, Rikki, Simon, Toni and Benjamin
