The weather has been very changeable here this past week. We have had torrential rain, gale force winds and sunshine and sometimes all in one day! The older dogs just find a warm bed to snooze away the hours when it is too cold and wet but the young ones will usually risk a runabout in the garden between showers.

Autumn jumpers and a treat hunt
Suddenly the weather has become much colder here and the dogs are feeling the chill, especially the seniors. No-one wanted to go out for a walk so we set up a treat hunt in the garden and (most of) the dogs wore their warm jumpers and really enjoyed themselves. Vita decided she would prefer to go without her jumper and Archie threw off his scarf to stop it getting in the way but the others were happy to stay warm!
Aoife as the oldest had a head start on the others although they still overtook her in their excitement. She doesn’t see as well as she used to and is a little frail now so she prefers to be given treats rather than hunt for them.
The challenge toys are good for the younger dogs but we put treats in empty egg boxes and on the old tree stumps too for those who are not so keen on the puzzles.
