Pennie's first Pawsome Box!

Today Pennie, my Cocker Spaniel, received some great post! 

In fact as soon as the post was delivered Pennie and my dad couldn't wait to open it, and so by the time I had got home from work they had already opened the Pawsome box and taken the squeaky toy!  

This is our very first Pawsome box, which has been highly recommended by Kemples. A month or so ago Abi did a blog post on her Pawsome box and recommend the free trial so I signed up straight away. 

This month's box is definitely one of the best collection of toys and treats that I have seen from the Pawsome box collection. This month's collection included two lots of different treats, two different toys, an attachment for a lead and a towel. 

Pennies favourite is definitely the doughnut squeaky toy! As soon as my dad opened the box with her and she saw the doughnut toy she has not put it down, she will sit with this toy in her mouth for the next 24 hours easily! Pennie gets super obsessive with new toys, but she was still a perfect girl letting me take the toy to have a look at it and to take some photos for this blog post. This toy will definitely be one of her favourites from now on! 

The chicken and carrot treats are definitely a close second though. I had her doing tricks and running around the room chasing after the treats, definitely a good choice! The carrot and chicken treats are very healthy for the dogs too as they say that they are low fat and contain no sugar! Very good for watching what dogs are eating as well as good for those pearly whites! The other treats within this months box was the Nom Herbal Tea dog treats for fresh breath. Pennie wasn't as fussed about these treats, perhaps she knew it was because they were for bad breath... 

The box also contained a towel and an attachment for leads. Both of these will come in handy during the summer months! Pennie is always jumping in water on her walks, whether it is the sea and river or a lake she just loves water so we always have to take a towel with us on our walks! Even during the winter months she loves a good paddle! Therefore having this new towel is definitely a great idea! The lead attachment is a great idea for example I think we will be using the attachment for when we go walks and sit at benches and eat our picnics, or when we stop at country pubs on our walks :) 


Pawsomebox is £19.90* a month and is a great treat for any pooches! They also do boxes for kitties called the Purrfectbox which is again £19.90* a month. 

Cuerden Park: A great place for dog walking!

I walk my dog at this park often enough that I thought it warrants its own blog post. It is a great park near me called Cuerden Park, which is located in the North West of England. Technically it says it is located in Chorley, but I live in Lostock Hall in Preston and it takes me 10 minutes to drive to. The Park has approximately 650 acres of parkland, woodland, meadows, a lake, ponds and gardens maintained to a high standard by dedicated staff and volunteers.

The park also hosts a variety of different events which you can look at if you go to their website, I havent personally attended any of the events but the other month they did a mini camping festival which seemed pretty good and I wished I had gone to it, they also do lots of running events. There is also a Farmers marker on the last sunday of each month, which I still need to check out. 

The park is perfect to walk round either with or without a dog, and the walk can either be done quickly or can be done in a longer time, its up to you which kind of walk you want. There is also plenty of water for your dog to access incase it is a hot day, and there is also a large lake at one end of the park for people to either go fishing, have a picnic next to, or simply to just feed the ducks. There are several picnic benches all over the park to sit and enjoy some time in the park. The park is also great for runners, there is always someone running around the park whenever I go, and I myself have gone for a few runs round the park. 

I usually walk my dog round this park in the evenings when the park is quieter, mainly because there is also less children about at night as my dog is not a fan of children really. The park has a large wooded area too, which my dog loves running around and hunting rabbits in. 

If you live in the Chorley or Preston area I definitely recommend that you check out this park, I can guarantee your dog will love it! 

 

 

 

My week on Instagram.

As you can see the majority of my Instagram photos (_katyjayne) end up being photos of my dog Pennie, or the beautiful places I go to walk her. The first photo is at a place in Blackburn called Pleasington that Pennie just loves because it is full of rabbits to chase! The fourth photo is at a park near me called Worden Park which is also a great place to go walk your dog. 

I was also in Ireland last week, in Galway to be specific, so a lot of the photos from my Instagram last week were taken there. Such as the photo I took whilst watching Milton Jones in a cosy little pub called Roisin Dubh,  which is definitely a must if you're ever in Galway! Salthill beach was fantastic too and is also definitely worth a visit if you're ever in Galway, its a cute little beach, but it was actually heaving with people all day due to the great weather, I also managed to get really sunburnt that day too, which is shocking as I was in Ireland. Also the views from the beach were so beautiful. As you can see I also enjoyed taking lots of photos of Twizel, who was the Springer Spaniel that we looked after whilst we stayed in Galway, she was such a sweetheart and I am definitely missing her now! Wanted to kidnap her and bring her home with me, but sadly she had to stay in Ireland. 

I took a couple of photos whilst on the airplanes going to and from Ireland, I just love the photo of Ireland from in the plane because it just shows how beautiful and green Ireland really is, as you can see from the vast amount of fields and woods. The other photo I took whilst flying over to Ireland and you can see Wales down below. 

Hope you've all had a lovely week! 

Meet Pennie!

I thought I would do a little post showing off my amazing beautiful dog, she is a gorgeous cocker spaniel called Pennie (because she cost a lot of pennies). She is such a sweetheart and is so well trained and behaved all the time. One of my all time favourite things to do is go on walks in the woods and around different parks/beaches with her and my boyfriend. She is also a huge fan of cuddles and loves being the centre of attention, although she isn't too keen on big groups of people or children (in fact she hates children). She also loves hunting and chasing rabbits, although she never actually catches or hurts them, she just loves the chase.

She is almost 4 years old now but still acts and looks like a puppy. If you go onto my Instagram (_katyjayne, I follow back) it is just full of pictures of Pennie, and all the wonderful places I go to on walks with her. 

We brought her home whilst I was still at college, and whilst she was a puppy, so I came home in all my college breaks every day to walk her and train her, so really I am partly responsible for her amazing behaviours. I have always had a dog whilst growing up, so when my last dog sadly passed away the other year the house seemed so odd and strange, especially not having a dog to welcome you home or to cuddle with. Pennie definitely became an important member of the family as soon as we brought her home. She is such an amazing dog, and I would definitely recommend spaniels, and especially cocker spaniels, to anyone looking at getting their own dog. 

Do you have any amazing, loved pooches?
