THE MOST, WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

Theres something so beautiful about this time of year. Maybe its the way the sun hits the burnt orange leaves on the trees, or reflects on the dewy grass. One of my favourite things to do is to walk the scenic areas surrounding where I live. Sometimes my life is filled with a lot of negativity, so much so its almost as though it will spill over the top of my head, it has a way of consuming me so much. Walking is my best form of therapy - especially with Theo. I love pulling on my thick socks and pointing my feet into my wellies, stuffing a couple of poo bags into my pocket and leaving with nothing more than my keys and Theo's lead in my hands. Its a time where I take a breather from having to talk to anyone, and have space with my own thoughts. I escape the confinements of the house or work, and just breath. I find walking takes me away from everything and be grateful for the simple things. That I can see the sun setting, I can watch Theo leap through the long grass, I can smell the crisp autumnal air, and be thankful I can carry myself across the fields without thinking about it.

If anyone has any good suggestions for dog walks in the Bristol area, let me know!

INTRODUCING, THEO

I'd like to introduce a new family member.

Theo Norman - a little boy toy poodle.
He was born on the 27th January 2016, so is currently only around 11 weeks! We picked him up when he had just hit 8 weeks on the 23rd of March - National Puppy Day! (complete fluke btw).

I actually cried once we'd collected him, I had him wrapped up on his little blanket, that we'd not long rubbed all over his mum for comfort. He's grown a lot since the day we collected him - he was SO tiny and delicate and would give you small puppy licks on your nose (still does, but now it smells/comes with more saliva) >.< Now Theo has got to grips with where he needs to poo and wee, what its like to venture in the back garden, new smells, playing with our pet cat Jeremy - he has become very curious over EVERYTHING - every movement of me, my mum, or my brother, every new chew toy, every corner of the garden! - He's very much the opposite of shy. He is also insanely clever for a dog his age, he can already understand 'come', as well as 'sit' and 'fetch'. Anyway enough chit chat, this is the little lad himself :-)

Thanks for stopping by,

Madi
