Barking in Barnes!









It was a lovely doggy day in Barnes today where I am dog sitting two lovely Schnauzers named Chip and Tommy. We all awoke to the most beautiful blanket of snow today all across London. We ventured out into the common and we saw just about everyone there with their kids and dogs playing in the snow. There were some little girls making an entire family of snowmen so I asked if they were going to include a dog so they did! (see pic one)

There were lots of dogs getting snow balls on their little legs but it only takes a bit of warm water at home to wash it off. I saw almost every breed and type of dog jumping and playing. One of my favourites was the long haired Dachshund who was mucking in with every dog he could find. It was a really good day and lovely to see so many dogs out there having fun in the snow.

Everyone was having such a good time thanks to no work, no school and the best bit about it was that it was all for free!

February 1st


Bring it on!  I am so happy it's February.  I don't know why but I just am.  Maybe I am delirious from all the snow that has fallen on London in the past 6 hours.  It's beautiful outside and I can't wait to walk Chip and Tommy in the snow tomorrow during the day light.  I did walk them late tonight and they were quite amused by all this white stuff under their feet.  

So dog photo from today comes from two lovely black matching pugs in Notting Hill off Portobello Road.  They looked very smart with their matching collars, leads and coats.  Apologies for the fuzziness.  I had to take a quick snap with my phone camera as they quite keen to catch up with their owner!

Enjoy the snow with your four legged ones -

Bring it on!  I am so happy it's February.  I don't know why but I just am.  Maybe I am delirious from all the snow that has fallen on London in the past 24 hours.  It's beautiful outside and I can't wait to walk Chip and Tommy in the snow tomorrow during the day light.  I did walk them late tonight and they were quite amused by all this white stuff under their feet.
