Today I went with my good friends Alex (human), Holly (chocolate lab), Zac (black lab), Lucy (springerdor) and Ronnie (German pointer) to explore Blackwell Common, which is near Fawley; almost under the shadow of the Refinery. All four rather sizeable canines fit snugly in the back of my Mazda 303. I think that must be the highest number of dogs I’ve put in it at any one time! I think it’s about time I got a bigger Hundwagen.

Blackwell Common is a flat piece of heathland right on the edge of the Forest, which is great for me because I can always see who’s coming and redirect the bumbling labs where necessary. The only trouble with it being so open is that it’s freezing. I took Alfie (ridgeback) and Zac there a couple of weeks ago and all the puddles were still frozen, even though there was no ice anywhere else in the Forest. Here’s a video of them trying to eat the water.
Yay walkies are the best. Bumbling Labs, lol x
They totally are. Hopefully there’ll be lots of walkystories in here!
