Wagging Tails and Woodland Trails

Yesterday, early in the morning I decided to change my walk routine, in preparation for walking the West Highland Way in May/June for Mary’s Meals. (Don’t forget to click the link below to donate!)

Recently, Monic encouraged me to change my routines a little bit, as my walking routes were becoming a bit stale!

I messaged my sister Elaine, at 05.15 and asked her if I could pick up Fern at 09.30 to take her with me for a walk around Blairhall Forest.

Fern and I had the best time ever.

It is only the second time since being home, that I’d taken the time to be with Fern.

There is a certain magic about it, that I’d truly missed.

It was a real joy to just walk and run with her, along with playing fetch with many sticks and stones.

Watching Fern sniff, explore, and revel in the natural forest surroundings, her tail wagging with constant excitement was just pure magic for my soul.

Because she was so happy, that made me happy too!

Somehow, just being with her, in the forest, breathing the fresh air, filled me with so much joy.

It’s a wonderful way to slow down, be present, and appreciate the simple joys of companionship and nature.

Its also a great way to destress.

Have you had that experience?

I returned with a clear head, fresh and ready for my day ahead.

Fern on the other hand, returned ready for a big sleep!

Admittedly, I did have a wee nap in the afternoon too!

It won’t be too long before I’m back borrowing Fern once more.

Have you had a particularly memorable forest walk with a dog recently?
