19/01/2025 – The Rambling Sloth 🦥

I didn’t sleep that well last night. We ended up with Calaidh and Khaleesi in with us. At 12.30 Calaidh barged into the dog’s room and woke Bhruic and Freya up…. Eh not happening!!

Then I woke again at 5.30 as Khaleesi was taking up my foot space!

Ignore me, I’m still a grump just now.

So we got up at 7am as we had to leave by 8am. Craig had booked us a 55 minute slot at the Wag and Run dog field in Mauchline.

It was lovely to go out for a drive that early in the morning.

You reverse into a parking spot and lock the gate in front of you, before you let the dogs out of the car.

They had an absolute blast.

There are agility structures and tunnels for them to play in. They weren’t really bothered about any of that. They were just SO excited.

This was one of the best shots I got with them all sitting down! It was like herding water 🤦🏻‍♀️😆 Looks like they’re having a chat.

I tried to get them all to sit on the bench with Craig but there was way too much excitement for that.

Almost managed it.

Bhru is probably my least favourite to walk on lead, but she was a star today. She did all the agility stuff.

Here she is getting big cuddles.

And being her usual goofy self.

Calaidh isn’t moving until Craig throws that blue frisbee 🥏….. she’s looking back at me asking, will he throw it already.

The dog park said it had a sensory garden, which had long since overgrown with grass, a water feature which was fenced off, a shed for shelter which was closed. It was a shame as it’s a big field but not quite what they advertise.

The 55 minutes passed really quickly.

There was so much excitement that they are zonked out now.

We stopped past Tesco so I could do the fastest food shop in history and then back home.

I’m still not feeling great though our trip this morning did me the power of good we need to do more like that together.

I have introduced my inner child to the movie Inside Out and it blew me away.

It explains a child’s life from the emotions inside the head. Ellison recommended it to me. It’s so cleverly written. A lovely idea.

Inside Out 2 introduces ANXIETY and I can hardly watch. I’m cringing so badly, while learning so much about how we respond in certain situations. It’s no wonder I’m knackered without that self doubt and second guessing going on in my head 😆

This hit me right between the eyes.

I need more joy and happiness in my life. Despite my positive outlook on the blog, I still think I’m quick to could on the dark.

I get lots of joy from travelling but I need to be aware of it in the day to day.

So yeah, there’s a new week just around the corner…. This is just a wee slump and I’ll bounce out of it and wonder what the fuss was all about. Butterflies and Pebbles say it well….
