Finnish Lapphunds are part cat in spirit.

Which bit do you walk on? I guess rather to the west of us, if the house (and that's a lovely picture! It's the world that's wonky, not the dog) is any guide.

Exploring a section of the Icknield Way, an ancient route across England that some say may be the oldest road in Britain. It certainly predates the grey squirrels I barked at.

Thank you for taking us with you all the way!

Wow. That is some journey. But taking the chance to explore along the way is what makes these trips worthwhile.

I may make a song and dance about rabbits, but I do always come back in the end.

This does look like a wonderful adventure! I have very little idea of distances in the US, but you must be travelling a fair way.

I dread to think what Hurricane Lumi would be like ...

It's just the tail-end of it, the worst was yesterday. They called it Storm Amy. I think they should name one after me some day.

All those rally classes are paying off! Those steps look pretty steep though.

It's been so dry, there wasn't much opportunity for picking up mud! Though I did paddle a bit in a rather noisome ditch.

Yep, there's a definite nip in the air at night.

I'll hang out in front of the fire with the humans, if they insist.

Hang on in there, Hullu! You'll be on dry land again soon.

Paddle, sure. But I won’t let the water past my tummy. (I do know a couple of Lapphunds who swim in the sea with seals, but they’re exceptional.)

Cuddly Milo came up from London to visit, and we went for a long Fenland walk and pub lunch with him and his humans. After which we both needed a good lie down for a while.

Sorry to come late to this. I think I know the place, though we've never been there. Not sure how good I'd be at casing the joint without drawing attention to myself, though, given how excitedly I'd be barking at all these fascinating prospective new friends.

What a great place to have been!

Oh, poor Hullu (and poor Villi). I hope all is restored to normal soon, including rewards.

Today on our walk we met Miss Freckles, a lovely gentle retired racing greyhound whose owner likes to dress her up. Today, he said, she's a Battle of Britain pilot. She doesn't seem to mind at all. I barked at the flag, though.

That is a much better place for a road trip than Upper Norwood 😂
