Dogs, dogs, dogs!

Sunday was my rest day and today is another dog play group day so I have many photos to share and it's only 9.30am Monday morning!
Yesterday was a brilliant day, I went Quad biking for 18 miles off road in the woods and by some lakes and didn't see another person. Where in the UK can you do that!

I also had some time to relax and I couldn't help but take some cheesy/wildlife photos. They home grow a lot of vegetables here and below is some courgette and potatoes grown from seed and freshly picked as a snack. You wouldn't believe how much difference it makes to the taste!

We also have a hummingbird feeder and ornaments out on the porch so I had to take some of the aforementioned cheesy photographs...

And I got time to decorate my room which was nice

I can wake up between 5 and 8 depending on the dogs needs and schedule that day. Most of the time I'm up to see the sun rise and say good morning to the dogs

And of course I've been playing with the doggies! B'zhoo is leaving to another kennel today so has been out all day so I just have photos of his play group: B'zhoo, Zola and Tuloon!

But who could forget the bravest and most adventurous dog I know, despite only having three legs, Copper loves to explore outside the kennels!

Week 1

Thursday: Left home and loved ones with three days travelling in front of me.

Friday: Left Manchester for Frankfurt. Left frankfurt, flew over my home in Glasgow and across the Atlantic Ocean, with a path over Greenland which was outstanding and spent the night in detroit.

The windows were all freezing over

Sights like this helped the journey go faster

Saturday: Flew into Minneapolis and drove 5 and a half hours up to my final destination - the Points Unknown off grid homestead. Beautiful.

Sunday - Sunday: I've spent heaps of time looking after and just cuddling the dogs and have loved getting to know all of them. They can be beautiful but also super goofy!

We've been busy building a fenced in area the house dogs can go out in with less danger from the local wildlife and although its hard work its very satisfying to build something functional. It's hot in the bug suits though!

 We've been up to Canada and seen some amazing scenery on the way.

I had been told that there was a huge amount of wildlife here; bears, wolves and moose bigger than draft horses. This morning while we were eating breakfast Linda suddenly noticed a wolf just walking through the yard. It was beautiful but very close to us and the dogs. Because of this we had to run out and shout and shot the shotgun into the air to try and scare it away. It was an unreal experience. Shortly after I went searching for tracks to see where it came from and the size of its paws. It came from the trail I walk the dogs on!
