I’d driven Patch to one of our favourite walks this morning, and when we approached the car, he seemed to want  to simply stand still and take in his surroundings.

We know this is how dogs take in information about the world around them. Each nostril sniffing a different area. They sense unseen animals and people, weather conditions, and even changes in the bodies of their humans who accompany them.

Allowing your companion to have a fullfilling sensory experience is one of the best things you can do for them each day.

I was rewarded for standing around on a chilly February early morning with the sighting of a barn owl swishing back and forth across the field in front of me. Magnificent.

And then it was home for breakfast, which I think I mentioned last time you asked WP is my favourite and the main meal of my day at the moment.

Mushrooms with Sumac, wilted spinach, poached eggs, avocados( olive oil, lemon juice salt n pep) with  haloumi, or veg sausage/bacon for an occasional treat. Delish.
