The kittens are now at the manic monster stage, full of energy, quick as lightning and batteries seem to recharge very quickly. They have all had their 1st health check and vaccination and Beetles kittens will start to leave us in about a fortnight.
The dogs have done pretty well for walks recently, our usual walk is about 6 miles long but we do a longer one a couple of times a week(generally around the 8/9 mile mark), today we managed 15 miles, the dogs look a lot fresher at the end of it than I do! We took a trip to Dartmoor on BH Monday for a picnic and took the dogs as an extra to their earlier walk. My hope was that with all the tourists that would have been at Haytor all day the sheep would have moved to a quieter area, I was wrong, there were blinking sheep everywhere! This meant that the dogs had to be kept under very close control and on their leads, but they still enjoyed the change of scenery :) I did take the leads off for a couple of minutes, purely to grab a couple of quick group shots on the rocks.
The above picture was on a heath that we crossed on todays 15 miler :)
Next week the schools will be back, so most of the holiday makers will have gone home which means we get our beaches back, can't wait :)
