Our Gang at the new Country Park

A friend and I have 10 dogs between us and often take most of them out together (some are too elderly now). Today we went to Cherry Orchard Country park in Rochford. I took 2, she took 3 of hers plus a foster - and Billy the dog next door came too!.(This is Billy) he was dumped as a puppy in Greece and rescued by GAR

You go through some woods - Daisy leads the way

then through the cornfields

this is the latest recruit - Ruby the Giant Schnauzer from Allbreeds, who has fitted straight in

and we meet new friends

and find muddy puddles

then round (and in) the Lake for a refreshing dip

and Shamus the Shorthair goes Ratting

Then back along the stream

and a pause on the bridge for a photo

Seven happy dogs now sprawled about snoring till the next meal comes along. Not a bad day, really.

I can't think of a better way to enjoy a day out brilliant pictures of lovely dogs

Sounds and looks like the dogs enjoyed their walk & swim - fab pics!

Yeah, talk about a dog's life hey!!! Bet they had a great time, they love being in a big pack like that for a good run don't they I just adore your Daisy, she is definitely my kind of dog, really beautiful long coat she has and her colour is stunning, just gorgeous.

Daisy says thankyou -

Great photos, looks like they all have a lovely time.

And what a lovely collection of different breeds

love the photos, such a collection of dogs your so lucky x

Thankyou - all rescues bar the Foster. They include a Standard Poodle, a German Shorthaired Pointer, a GSD, a Spoodle (spaniel/poodle) a Giant Schnauzer and two lurcher/labs. The Saga brigade at home include another GSP from Ireland aged 14, a Beagley Hound from Greece aged 11ish and a GSDx terrier rescue who we think is 16. They are all huge fun.

And you had sunshine! I walked on the beach this morning and it p***ed it down. Like it's doing now!

Lovely dogs by the way!

What a great walk, don't you just love it when dogs can be dogs. You have one there to suit everyone
