I'm taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge

I’m walking 75 miles with my dog this October and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation could cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

Lots of giggles and walks.

Sunday 19th Oct
Apologies my phone was swapped over and I lost all coms for a few days. Little Lady and been walking and enjoying the last of the dry weather. We did a lovely walk along the Babbacombe downs and through Cary park this week which was by far her and Hunters fave walk this week. 

Perry pears and hiccups

Sunday 12th Oct
Today we took a walk around our local area and found a Perry pear tree Hunter thought they were a tasty treat as he helped himself to the fermented ones on the floor. After a chase to remove  anymore he thought he’d  swallow  it quickly and it soon became apparent than Hunter was indeed a little drunk and hiccuped  the rest of the way home! (He’s absolutely fine this evening thankfully and playing like his normal self) 

Evening walks with dad.

Saturday 11th Oct
Cloudy Walks with dad tonight around the harbour with Hunter. They spend so much time together  and love walking pup together. Another 2 miles
Completed.

Chestnuts and chasing leaves

Friday 10th Oct
This morning Hunter and I went collecting Chestnuts and whilst I collected he chased the leaves. Clearly running  3 times the amount I walked.😂

Beautiful harbour walk

Thursday 9th Oct
Iris and her sister Rose
Both walked him this evening. Can feel the change in the air far chillier today.
Best get Hunters winter coat ready soon. 

Iris walks Hunter through the orchards

Tuesday 7th Oct
Home to cockington and over the fields through the orchards. Wow what a walk. The sun shone and we ate fresh apples straight from the tree, Hunter included! Iris and Hunter are both exhausted and curled up under a blanket. Iris’s nanna and her dog joined us today. 

Walking in the sunshine

Tuesday 7th Oct
Little mile walk just because the sun shines. After school Iris will also walk this evening. Maybe a little evening beach swim for Hunter too.  

Walking with my friends

Sunday 5th Oct
Today Iris walked with Her BFF and her doggy. They are both walking for dementia so today they joined each other. Another 4 miles down. Well done ladies! Hunter was walked with me this evening  at his favourite place and is now snoring by my feet! 

Pup walk with his new Dementia neck scarf

Saturday 4th Oct
Hunter is now rocking his  new dementia neck scarf. Iris is of course excited to walk him with his new accessory. He’s to cute for words. 

Walking in the rain day 3

Friday 3rd Oct
Just a little one today. 1.3 miles. It’s rained all day and Hunter has a sore foot from chasing a ball under a chestnut tree.  We all were very soggy.
