LiveFromPeru Part 8

This post is going to be less poor writing and more just a photo dump from the walks that we have had the last few days. Or as I like to think of it the start of Diego’s training to build him up to the much longer walks.

Our walk round the rugby and cricket fields (New Years Day)
Our walk at South Holland Main Drain (Friday 2/1)

The South Holland Main Drain walk will always be associated with Nico. As we walked along the bank of the drain I couldn’t help remembering the sight of Nico sprinting for his dear life towards me as a flying pheasant seemed to be chasing him. Other times on this walk Nico would go missing in the wheat fields looking for who knows what. Making our walk much longer than it had to be as Strider and I looked for him.

Once back it looked like Diogo had the limp returning. So I made the decision to make Saturday a “rest day”.

Newton and North Level Main Drain (Sunday 4/1)

As you can see we’ve had the cold spell but no snow. Which is kinda disappointing. I’d like a good snow fall.

LiveFromPeru Part 6

Today Dolly and I introduced Diogo to the fenland landscape.

We went to just out side of Newton in the Isle for a walk I used to do regularly with the wolf pack. This one saw us doing a there and back to the North Level Main Drain. It ended up being about 1.5 miles in total.

This is the furthest Diogo has been on a walk since arriving in the UK.

Although the sun was out there was still a bit of a chill.

While Dolly was off the lead, a trust she has learnt. Diogo has not got to that point yet and was kept on his lead. He did get a bit longer on it than normal because I used Dolly’s lead as an extension.

Although I did my best to avoid other dogs, and the inevitable barking in excitement from Diogo. I wasn’t 100 percent able to avoid that situation though.

But I am trying to get to a point using calming dog treats (I’m very sceptical about these but time will tell). I’ve also contacted a dog trainer but had no reply yet. But then again it is the Christmas period and they could be taking the time off. I’ll give them until middle of next week before looking for another.

In the meantime Dolly and I need to build Diogo up so he can do the longer walks.
