Last night, my mum and I made a trip to Pets at Homes to buy the dogs some kongs... An hour later and we emerged with this stash!!
For some reason, we decided that the beginning of summer was a great time to buy the dogs fleeced rain coats (how cute do they look though?!)
My mum also decided that Kitty had to have this little sun hat, as she's only a baby and she sometimes squints when the sun is in her eyes... Well, I can tell you that the hat has definitely been doing a great job of stopping the sun from getting in her eyes... in our house ;).
In other non-doggy-fashion related news, I have something very exciting to share. I have decided to become vegan due to the amazing health benefits and of course my love for animals. What's even more exciting for me is that I have started a blog about it here. Whilst the main focus of the blog is all things vegan, of course I have found a way to work my dogs into it, as I always do!
So far Poppy has featured in my post about my first cookie baking session (this was a crazy experience for her, as in the 6 years we've lived together, she has never seen me bake)!
So check out Jade Green Vegan if you're interested in trying out any vegan recipes, or simply just to read more ramblings about my gorgeous dogs!
We had amazing weather this bank holiday weekend, so made the most of it by filling it with lots of walking, running, and even swimming!
As we've not had time to keep up with our couch to 5k runs recently, we made up for it by doing two this weekend. The first run of the weekend was along the river with Poppy AND Panda! Running with two dogs was a little harder, mainly because they got a little competitive with each other and made us run faster (go team Poppy & Jade)! Maybe by the end of the program we'll be sprinting with all four dogs!
On Sunday, we took Teddy to do the first run of week 3; the program is starting to get a bit harder now and we were all feeling shattered by the end of it. Whilst we were warming down, Teddy went all hippy on us with this daisy chain in his hair - manly look Ted!
Today, we took Kitty on her first ever beach trip and she LOVED it! When we let her off of the lead, she followed Poppy and ran straight down the beach and plunged into the sea. I'm not sure what she expected but she looked very shocked at how wet she got and avoided the water after that!
Poppy and Teddy spent most of the day playing in the sea, and all of the dogs loved chasing the stones up and down the beach. It was such a nice day, and the perfect way to end the bank holiday weekend.
All the walking, running, and swimming made this bank holiday a very tiring weekend. So tiring in fact, that Matt couldn't even muster the energy to put some socks on, and had no choice other than to improvise with 'cockapoo slippers'. What a lazy boy (although I must admit, I'd take cockapoos to warm me up over slippers any day)!
