Woody, Hen and I are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our seventh foster dog for Spaniel Aid UK. Fostering has been such an incredible experience for both myself and my dogs. It’s taught me so much about myself and I’ve learnt plenty about dog behaviour and training along the way. I wanted to share with you some updates from my 2019 foster dogs, my experience looking after them and what they’re up to now!
Woody, Hen, foster dog Snoop and I recently took a trip to see our friends Cockapoo Marley upcountry. During our stay, we travelled to North Wales to climb Mount Snowdon with the dogs. I’d never climbed a mountain before, let alone with 3 dogs, so was eager to take on the challenge! We took the Miner’s Track, which joins the Pyg Track for a steep ascent to the summit. The route is completely dog friendly and we had a whale of a time. We’ve definitely caught the mountaineering bug!
Owning a dog in your twenties can cause controversy. I know I received my fair share of doubt and worry from friends and family before I adopted my two dogs. It’s completely understandable, we all know owning a dog is a big deal. Depending on your dog’s breed and age when it arrives, you could be looking at over a decade long commitment. It’s definitely not something you should rush into on a whim, however this shouldn’t put you off. I thought I’d share my honest thoughts about owning a dog in your twenties, warts and all!
