Another long lie in our lockdown life. 9.15am before we even thought about getting out of bed 🛌 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

So I ramped up the dog food this morning after some of our puppy food training yesterday. If you replace 25% of your dogs meal, 3 times a week with green, red and yellow foods, studies show it may help to reduce cancer in dogs by 90%! Wow.

Now we feed our dogs a very healthy diet as it is but we cut open the packets of human grade cooked food and serve it twice a day. We don’t change variety often enough.

We just need to look for other foods that they do enjoy. They love tender stem broccoli 🥦 peppers etc. How easy is that to change? Replace 25% of their meal, 3 times a week? You soooooo know I’m on a mission now to see what else I can give them. Meal time should be enjoyable to prepare and not seen as a chore to whap food down in front of them just to tick that box.

We’ve also had lots of tennis ball fun this morning.

Only another 392 photos taken to get these ones. I will delete them. It’s like I need to confess to an addiction…. 🙄😬

It’s now 10.50 and my head is filled with a million things I “should” be doing…. my heart is filled with the need to rest. I keep reading that rest is ok and that is my mantra 🤣

I’m sure we all find the same but when you really have all the time in the world it’s hard to know how best to fill it. I could do Craigs gym workout or walk the dogs or do both, I need to do a poop scoop (perfect day in the frost…. solid!) or I could do more puppy training. I could wash the bedding or I could sit here writing this.

So…. the decision was…. Craig’s Gym workout which was kettlebells with……a breadboard. Yep you heard it here…. last week I used nothing and I was in agony… today I ramped it up to a breadboard. Not the easiest thing to use but it was heavy! Nothing compared to the 20kg that Mr A is swinging about our living room 😱😱😱😱. I am totally peched oot with a breadboard that’s maybe a few kgs 🤨 I’m not sure he’ll be able to walk tomorrow morning?!?! 😆

We did a good almost hours’ worth of proper stretching today. We have both seized up a bit, me more so than him but it was good to get a proper trainer-led stretch done. Despite the furry interruptions!

After lunch I took the dogs out. What a beautiful day. Absolutely stunning again given the pouring rain we’ve had for the last few days. Yes that means photos…… 😉

I just love walking in the sun. I see the beauty everywhere. I have so many photos that I can’t possibly share them all. I’m lucky too that I didn’t fall the 3 times I slipped on black ice! No mean feat walking 3 dogs on the ice with blinding sunshine in your eyes…. but I would take this weather every day.

And just like that the day is almost done. I have a puppy call with clients at 6pm for a hour. Remember to tell your friends!!

Sadly Scotland’s COVID-19 deaths surpassed 5,000 today. There is talk of our restrictions continuing which doesn’t actually surprise me at all.

Stay safe everyone 🐶🐶🐶
