Last weeks weather was pretty bleak but today it has been lovely and sunny and this lunchtime (after taking Erskine Labrador Bruno on a solo walk) I took Rory and Ruffles for a wee walk down at the beach.   Rory’s owners are attending a bar mitzvah today so that meant Ruffles had a big friend that he’s met quite a few times, to play with.

Both Rory and Ruffles are quite similar in ways, in that they are friendly and socialised, love the company of other dogs adore food and tennis balls.  So they were well matched in their ‘likes’ even tho mismatched in their physiques.

So at the beach we had fun and met plenty of friendly dogs.  Just after we arrived we met a black lab that we often see and who Rory loves to play with, then we met two old springer spaniels who Ruffles gave a warm greeting to, after that we met a cocker spaniel called Crystal who both dogs enjoy the company off and a staffie/jack russell puppy who played with Ruffles and both had a whale of a time!

After walking for a while we found a large grassy area and Ruffles found a tennis ball that had split apart but still held together by it’s felt.  So of course Rory wanted the ball and they had fun chasing each other as I threw it for them both – neither are possesive with toys so it was a lot of fun!  Then afterwards on the beach they had a chase and a run (don’t know what it is about sandy beaches but as soon as dogs hit it they just want to run on it).  Aftwards Ruffles began digging a hole to which Rory came over and took over, I have no idea what they were looking for!  A nice fun walk with two of our star regulars!

It was mild this morning and lunchtime but in the early afternoon the rain brought in some cold winds and it wasn’t that pleasant being out.  This afternoon I took Ruffles, Wilfred and Chilli and collected Mack from the Mar hall golf and spa resort, Bishopton, where his owner works and took them all to the beach for a runabout.

Usually it’s Finlaystone we go but the beach is one of the best places to walk dogs and as we had to pick up Mack right next to the beach it made perfect sense to go there.

Mack has lost over a kilo since he’s joined Bishopton dog walking services.  Below is a pic of him on the 20th February of this year.

Mack on the day he joined us and a kilo heavier than he is now!

Picking Ruffles up I put his coat on him to try to keep him a bit drier and cleaner but during the walk it came off and was filthy so there was no real point putting it back on him. Oh well, dirty dogs are happy dogs I suppose!

Since Wilfred the (very large) miniature bull terrier is 10 years old and a lot older than the young ‘uns he likes to do his own thing.  Wilfie (as he’s known) loves swimming more than anything else and spent most of the walk walking the coast line.  We were throwing in tennis balls for him to bring back but not for too long as we didn’t want him to get too cold.

So with the four dogs and doggy wipes on stand by, let’s go walkies!!!

Wilfred and Chilli live in the Finlaystone country estate and that is a great place to walk dogs, but I’ve been walking them there including other dogs like Mack, Ruffles and Rory every day for several weeks and decided it would be nice to take them somewhere else.  10 year old miniature bull terrier Wilfred loves the water so I took him to Erskine beach along with Chilli and her wee buddy and general sweety Ruffles who is now around 7 months old!

Along with swimming Wilfred loves big sticks and his ideal play time is retrieving sticks thrown into the water for him to bring back, so with the biggest stick I could find that’s what we did while Ruffles and Chilli danced about each other and played catch-up.  It was a great walk and all the dogs had a great time and when we got back to the car there was absolute silence from all the dogs as they slept until they got home.

Good times!!

So Mack and Ruffles get on great, they really enjoy each others company and today I took them to the beach in Erskine so they could run about and rumble together.  Usually they get walked with Wilfred and Chilli at Finlaystone but since it was just the two and Mack hasn’t been to the beach in a while I thought it best and a nice change to take them there.

What a cold and windy day it was but the dogs had great fun.  When I started walking Mack a few months ago the target was to help get him to lose some weight, about a kilo in total.  Well he’s lost that already and did so a few weeks ago, so we’re all very happy about that.

At the beach today it was very quiet so it was good that both dogs were more than happy to play with themselves and they didnt stop playing when they went back to the car as they used the boot of my estate as a play den!

Wee vid of them both..
