Good moaning. Dog walked, very cold wind out there. Tummy a touch better but still feels a little tender.

I've just been out to the car and its bitter, a wind that blows straight through you rather than round you, I'm going to have to wrap up warm this morning.

Sun is out but still a bit chilly here. Dog trainer is coming at 12 to teach Molly recall. Hope it will be worth the money.

Is your dog particularly stubborn? If not Then you should be able to get the hound to recall fairly easily with a pocket of treats. Get her to sit and stay, walk a few paces back briefly and then call her with whatever command you choose, and give her a treat, and repeat. Does she runs off and refuse to come back? then keep her on a long lead and give commands and a treat. This normally works after a short while.

She is a cocker spaniel and just follows her nose. If she gets a fixation on something, nothing else matters. She will just run off and eventually comes back when she is ready . I thought I lost her once when she did just that in the woods. She disappeared for half an hour and then just reappeared from nowhere.

I'm back, 51 miles covered and a hard slow ride, I did most of the ride out into the breeze and it didn't seem much different on the way back, a cold but enjoyable morning ride. Just past Whitacre Heath the road passes an area of marsh land, as rode through there I was watched by a massive swan stood on the verge, it must have stood over three feet tall, impressive bird.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Nice weather we have at the moment.
