One of us is up by 6am and out for a quick widdle (for Ben not us!0 Back for breakfast and a cuppy then a walk to the park. Then at lumch time which falls sometime between 11.30 - 2.30 he gets 15 minutes round the block and up to the grassy area (onlead), Then when I finish which at this time of year is always dark o clock its 30 mins at the park playing with ball or Kong - just aswell Ben can smell it otherwise it would be lost!!
Then OH does the last walk round the block at bed time which is just whenever. We don't have a garden so walks are imperative in rain hail snow (and like Nic we have good dreich brisk Scottish weather!) and lots of Mud especially this year as in his enthusiasim to chase ball or kong he sometimes gets ahead of his legs and forgets how to use tham and falls over in the mud (though think he has a long way to go to get close to Cosmo's mud affinity!!)The sharpp mornings walking in moonlight are somehow magical - a great way to start the day - wouldn't change it for the world - oh and added bonus of no hayfever for me

Yep, the dogs always come first in this house too.
Are the dirttrapper mats any good?
The mats must work as my floors are generally very clean, even when we had 4 years of Inca, the fluffiest, wettest, mud seeking dog ever!

I don't generally wear out to town, so they know when that comes on it's walkies time!
I look like a big, navy Michelin man....... more so if I wear the jacket!
