Can’t believe i’m saying this… it didn’t rain all day! In fact, the sun was out and it was warm enough to sit out in the sun!! I was like a basking seal out there 🤣 Back to normal tomorrow I think…

Oh it's been a truly wonderful day, dry and sunny with the birds singing! Beautiful. Put the boys out in the small paddock to graze down the grass - all without rugs.... by 4pm it was hammering it down and is still going now.. not quite as heavily but its still going.

I've gone from Straw to straw pellets and I'm so pleased!! One of my horses is quite a big chap and he's also stinking - unless you put a fresh bale of straw in a day he'd trash his bed - often having to take the entire lot out daily (he's very wet, poo's several times then walks back and forth...

Oh that’s good to know! I might stop looking at last minute holidays then 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do we think it’s going to run?!

We have an inky dinky - it’s fantastic! Little sh1tland decided to go up with her (actually quite unusual) and she didn’t move a inch!! Amazing - totally worth getting! We’ve also stuck it on both my boys and led her around in it🤣…

Reading these reminded me of a photo I took of our older chap presenting… he’s always very proud of his retrieves (whether that’s game, a dummy, sock… or the latest, a jolly ball 🤣)

Dry day until 6 then it tipped it down 😢. Starting to wander if we’ll be going on our annual holiday to Badminton this year or not… surely if we don’t get a decent period of dry they won’t run? (I really don’t want to even think about it but think I might go abroad instead at this rate 🤣)

wowzers, completely different world!! Amazing!! Interesting what you've said re maltodextrin - thanks for the info, going to look into it!

It’s small country shooting, little Cornish syndicates which is nice. One woodcock shoot and one pheasant shoot which alternate, the cover is thick and its hard work for them but they do enjoy it. The 13yo started at 4 and the 12yo started at 2... we've always tried to look after them... coats...

Oh how lovely to see this! We’ve got 6 spaniels - 5 of which work. They’ve done about 20 days rough shooting this season and picked up on an estate for two days. Rightfully or wrongfully they’re having a bit of down time just being dogs and will pick the training back up soon to sharpen up...

I always tread carefully when I mention mizzle on here as I mentioned it years ago and was mocked for making up a word🤣🤣🤣🤣. In other news, the sun is trying to push through the clouds ⛅️!!

It was meant to be dry today but it mizzled (its a Cornish thing :rolleyes::p) all day - it swear its worse than actual heavy rain.. bleurgh. Really mild though!

I think we treat our spaniels a bit like that too to be honest, but now it’s second nature and they look to me/husband as to what comes next (which is why I was perhaps a big gobsmacked about this - I have defo learnt plenty from this thread). I just assumed because of that they take confidence...

Will be interesting to see what happens. Thanks for the replies. Just makes me realise I’m very lucky with my easy going spanner’s.
