This news is a week old as I didn’t have time to do this before. It’s been for a good reason as this last week I have either been working, walking dogs, painting my house, looking after the working men that are fixing my home and last but not least a bit of sleep here and there. There is still lots more to do but I have more time to update you with dog news.

Last Wednesday afternoon, 8 November, we had a “Kakapo nest” walk.
We do this every few months with any “Kakapo’ers” that like to and have the time. A few “out-siders” but true Lagotto lovers also come with us. I think it’s an honour they like to join us. Unfortunately any day we pick there are all ways people that cant make it but this time we had a good turn out with 10 people and 17 dogs (4 other breeds and 13 Lagotti!!!).

The walk was at a very dog friendly place near Apeldoorn. Any Dutchies looking for a good place to walk with your dogs here you can visit their site http://www.hetleesten.nl/

I’m quite proud I remembered to take my camera and actually took photos during the walk. I forgot to take photos of us having a drink and a bite to eat after the walk while the dogs behaved themselves wonderfully.

Now an impression of the day.

Dono and Kiwi in the back of my car looking forward to arriving at our destination.


Countless dogs




Halfway though the walk we found a picnic table, an ideal place for a family photo but getting 13 Lagotti in one place at the same time was impossible. But we didn’t do too bad, 10 was the highest count.
Note the subtle hand signals to keep the dogs on the table ;-)






It was a lovely place to walk with the autumn colours making it even more beautiful.
