Stinky Westie

I love mud

Another wet day and a stinky dog again. The constant wet is helping the bacteria that feed on the oils produced by Ben's skin multiply causing him to stink a bit. He gets dried down with a micro fibre towel  when he gets to the car and another towelling down when he gets home. As westies are prone to eczema I like to groom him daily to remove dirt but do not want to bathe him too often. If he is too bad I use a mixture of baby powder and corn starch rubbed into his fur then brushed out to dry clean him.

Took a walk in Ilkley

Took a drive over to Ilkley. The weather was fine when we started off but it soon deteriorated.  Not to be put off by a bit of rain we decided to do the circular walk. The rain turned from a drizzle to a full downpour  which lasted the entire walk. Ben was not too bothered, he loves nothing more than running through puddles and rolling in mud.

Leeds Liverpool Canal Walk

Went for a walk on the Leeds Liverpool canal. Ben was curious about the swans but they wanted him to keep his distance.

Being a little slow in the thinking department it took a lot of hissing and flapping of wings for him to get the message they were not his friends.

These canal  locks have plenty of odd smells you do not get in the local park.

This swan took a dislike to Ben and tried its best to have a go at him whenever it could

Time for a hasty retreat.

No you can't go for a swim !

Christmas Dip



Nothing like a dip in the sea over Christmas











Thats cold and the waves are a bit scary

Ben The westie visits old friends

Went to visit a departed relative today. Its quiet here, not as many smells or squirrels to chase.

 *Think I will tip toe past this

Second thoughts think I will make a run for it .

Ok I will slow down >  slow coach.

This is the location of the new BBC drama peaky blinders staring Sam Neil which will be on TV 2013.

It might not be the park but I could get to like my walks here.
