Picked Monty and Milo up and good walk to the duck ponds, sneaked thru the fence and walked down the disused old rover service road, airily quiet, shame they aren't open as it's nice down there, I bet not many people know they are there, also there a train line ! Sun was out and we had a lovely walk. Next to Romsley to walk Bess, had good run playing with the ball. Picked c&b up on way back and walked up to waseley visitor centre, beau panting she makes me laugh as soon as I say 'come on then' she whizzes around and heads home....

Picked Bruce up and Charlie and beau and walk to the bingo hall.. Charlie was quiet chewing grass and being sick... Saw a young lad with huge white head phones, or his head was small.... Bit why is there such a thing for huge headphones??? The little pop in plugs after great.. He looked like one of those Cybermen off Dr. Who...
Next minnie to wood she behaved her self mainly. Then to see Sid up to red lion... Bruce and Oscar needed pulling along, maybe the smog was slowing them down.
Over to hermies with fudge and off again he was swimming after the ducks... Quack come and get me !
M&m Osric for walk up to renal hill as the drizzle started, then over to goku for final walk of the day good walk up to reservoir and through new estate, dropped Oscar home both of us tired !!

2.4.14 fog or smog ?

Today started with a warning the smog was high today, well it's been hazy all week.... More like fog me thinks... Picked Oscar Bruce and Osric up and up top see slippers... They where still in bed, having a ly in.... Eventually we went to fisheries it was cold, even dogs where a bit reluctant to go down the hill...
Monty milo and fudge next to lickey woods, it was very muddy, peaty fudge particularly got thick of it... It's a lovely wood walk when its dry, so onto the golf course in the long grass to wash mud off.
Charlie and beau next and it was misty bit warm, no jacket on I risked it... Two mins into walk it poured down, mistake !
Next to Romsley Bess and mini with Oscar and Bruce.... Mini pouncing on them, she's naughty. Next Hermie's and the boys as it started to drizzle not a nice afternoon. Monty and Milo last walk and we had survived the smog !
