The joys of dog walking

Apologies for the picture quality, but no way was I taking the good camera out in that weather. 70 mph winds + rain.
Don't know who was most reluctant to walk tonight, Bacchus or me. As you can see he kept taking shelter behind tussocks of grass.

A wild night in North East Scotland

The North Sea 200yds from our walks

I don't want to be here

Can we go home now

Quick dry me with my towel Dad

Dry me pleeeaaase

Oh well, I'll dry myself

At last back in my cosy bed.

He's back in his bed by the radiator now, giving it big Zs

no fool is he , my 2 are tucked up under my feet with the radiator on , it's just as horrible here and they've been in and out of the car most of the day visiting family , but we did fit in a pub lunch along the way

Afraid I wouldn't be able to take Bacchus to the pub yet. My arm would be hanging off with him trying to go to all and sundry for spoiling and, as you know, not everyone appreciates dogs, not even puppies.

Aaawww, Bacchus is growing up ...yeah, Loki once hid behind some ivy from the rain while I was stood there getting soaked with people looking at me like I was mad because they couldn't see Loki they're not stupid.

been raining all day here its just stopped he must have been cold hiding behind that grass.

I was a little on edge as Tommy can quite often decide to be a bit growly when in close company with a dog he doesn't know and we had to go into a smallish room and walk past a spaniel lurking in the doorway anyway a little distraction and we survived ok

Ah lovely Bacchus!

I think a LOT of us have Staffs that hate this weather, I know Kuchar does. He wants to go for a walk and I take him, but if on the walk he shows that he is hating the wet, (and I will be too you bet) I take him the shortest way home, even if he hasn't had as long a walk as normal. This happened tonight, and instead of pestering me as normal of an evening behold! he has gone to sleep! Maybe there IS an upside on bad weather after all?

Bacchus is looking good

Ha ha, when I took Moo to Norfolk for the first time she would just stop moving in that weather & wind!

He is growing up so quickly, looks fab

Ahhh Bachus, I dont blame you for not wanting to go on a night like this. Rocky and me got soaked to it's really awful out there tonight,

Looks good We live in Whitley Bay so we are no stranger to the NE coast weather! Bacchus a little smasher

Yes he is growing fast. His regular collar was soaked so I went to put his original collar on which used to be far too big and it had to go in the last hole
