I feel awful!! Poor things havent been walked all day and I have barely seen them either :(

Have a huge hematoma on my bum:eek: after falling off a few weeks ago its painful and annoying, I cant run, ride and it hurts when walking :mad:

Have been taking them out on seperate walks because its difficult to handle them all at once with limited manouverability unless OH can come with me.

Thought I would be brave yesterday and take them all for a nice long but gentle walk. Takes us about half an hour to get to a suitable place to let them off the leads and we spent about 1 an 1/2 hrs there before we came back. I felt a bit sore but went to bed not long after that.

However today I could not get out of bed, just couldnt move my leg without extreme pain :( so I have been laid up in bed all day, dogs have been banished to the garden with toys and knuckle bones to keep them occupied. OH cant even take them out because hes working till 11pm and he will be exhausted.

Tell me Im not the worlds worst mum?? Are there days when yours end up cooped up and you feel awful? :(:( Sorry to blab on but I have bene a hermit all day needed to vent :rolleyes::)
 
God, don't feel guilty, mine have a day off every so often, it won't kill them and sometimes they *do* just want to lie and snooze all day.
We actually built ours a big exercise run out back :o because they're worth it :p
 
The big fella couldnt care less hes more upset about the fact that hes stuck downstairs and cant be near me(he does worry bless him) but the littles have been hyper though. Holly has just come upstairs :) slinked her way past my MIL and is now asleep on the bed with me :o cheeky monkey :D
 
Henry didn't get a real walk all last weekend, since I was working one day then shattered the next - we're all still alive;)
 
Phew!!! *breathes a sigh of relief* :) I cant help it, have got myself into the must work the horse must walk the dogs mindset and its hard to get out of haha. They seem happy enough now, all snoring and cuddling :)
 
That is a lush mastiff!!!I see he likes his pink ball as well.I love it when they look all mean an grumpy,an then come in with there favorite squekky pink ball.lol,dont feel guilty i know what you mean about must go out every day mindset,dogs have a day off ounce in a while to,will do them good to recuperate an chill for a day,take it as a doggy duvet day.:D
 
Haha a doggy duvet day!! I love it. If you look closely at the pic you can see my JRT as a pup between his legs.

Dozzie- haha yeah hes been sunbathing in the garden but I can hear him whimpering when he hears my voice, such a soppy mutt :D
 
god Im glad its just not me mine come to the yard every day after we have walked lil man to school but at the weekend due to lil man having no interest in horses we don't go to the yard my mate checks the herd so dogs don't get their roam about just 3 visits to the grass down stairs (we live in a flat) on sat and sun if the weather is good we will go to the local park but that just for an hour where as from monday to friday we leave the flat at 8:15 and don't get home till 4:15ish My girls have been doing since they where 4 months old and are now 8 months
 
They have just bene out for a nice run, was even brave and took them all out together on my own. They were so hyper though lol bit annoying trying to walk through the streets of liverpool to get ot some green :(
