Our walk 2

We had a lovely walk this morning, lasted just over 2 hours, he is now shattered. We walked round the park and met loads of other dogs he had some off lead time the rest was on extender  just as we were about to leave his boxer friend came in so we stayed and walked round with her for a bit, this is a boxer we have know for just over 2 years now and she has helped 'rehabilitate' barley round boxers and not see them as a threat, she is 9 but acts like a puppy and barley is  4 1/2 and acts like an old man. He is going to a show tommorow so groom time this evening, first show in a while, cant wait, ross will be coming as well. Will get dad to take some nice pictures, he did get very tired by the end of his walk and kept tripping over his own feet so i only did one round of the park with the boxer then went home, we had a lovely conversation about dog nutrition, luckily he is not a bakers feeder as i would advise him off that but instead she is on gilpa have heard of it before but do not know much about it. We are going to be doing some scent work this evening as well as we have not done any for a while. We have also started walking barley on a harness as he feels more comfortable and spooks less, must be a security thing.

Heres todays picture
 And some long overdue pictures of crufts, looking back at these photos i can see how stressed barley was, excuse my unhappy faces i was very tired and all the things that happened are still very raw to me and they have left some bad memories, nobody knew how much him being there meant to me and how much that winning would have meant for all that he and i have been through and how we were treated.
