The water at Polmaddy was low enough today for us to do a walk up the river itself. Quite tricky negotiating but it was fun. Also from a training perspective I wanted the dogs to think it’s not always about going straight across .

Despite the dry weather we have raspberries… and a new hobby for the dogs 🤣

Recent guests had fabulous weather!

“What a lovely couple of days away to our favourite place to stay with the dogs. Lots of wildlife, watched Red Kites getting fed and of course the dogs had a blast in the field and Jura didn’t want to leave to come home 😃🐾🐾❤️”

It’s always a relief to pass the annual water sampling for bacteria and heavy metals.
Takes several weeks before results come through and received these today. It’s a major issue if you don’t pass😩.
The water for Little Minnows comes from a borehole and is safe to drink 😊
