During the off-sheep season (Nov – April), the dogs need to stay fit and stimulated. That means games at home throughout the day and walks at places like the Dartmouth Woods. They wait on the patio –mostly patiently– until I come out and lead the games.

Feels like I get older and they get younger. By the time we get home after a 3 hour hike on the Dartmouth mountain bike trails, my legs and feet ache. They are ready for ‘the next thing’. Eesh!
