Hi, my name is Dolly and thought I would give you a little insight into how I am spending my time in isolation. The upside is, the fields and hills are so quiet when I go out for my daily walk so I have more space to run around. My human is home ALL the time and I get tummy rubs nearly all day and my daily treats have increased. On the downside I  can\u2019t sneak upstairs and lie on the bed in the sun for some reason, I get told to get down?!<\/span><\/p>\n

Today I have been making the most of the empty woodland. It\u2019s a lovely round trip from our house, we walked down to Bowness and then back up through Sheriff\u2019s Wood. We didn\u2019t see a single person which is so rare. There is a river that runs through the woodland with lots of different pools and access points. I love paddling in them and cooling off when the weather is hot.<\/p>\n

I hope the weekend brings more sunshine and walks with my human.<\/p>\n

Today I went on a lovely long walk from my house over the fields towards Crook and along the side of the Golf Course, back through the fields and woodlands and back again. There are plenty of streams and tarns on this walk so I\u2019m able to stop for frequent drinks and paddles in the water. We were sure to stick to the designated footpaths as per the farmer\u2019s request at this time.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bit too hot for me today and I\u2019m super tired from my 3 mile walk yesterday so today I \u2018assisted\u2019 in making a cake, although my human says it\u2019s too good for little dogs, so I don\u2019t know how yummy it is. My human mowed the lawn too so I got to do some sunbathing!<\/p>\n

On Friday we walked down into Bowness<\/a>. It is so strange to see the village so quiet, I have never seen it like this, I\u2019ve only passed 2 other people and a couple of cars. I had Glebe road and the Glebe all to myself with the exception of a couple of other people and their dogs in the distance. It was so strange to walk along the lakeshore and not see a single boat out on the water. <\/span><\/p>\n

The blossom trees are out in full bloom at the moment and look beautiful so on the upside I was able to enjoy 5 mins or so under the trees and listen to the birds.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s super hot today! I have been really helpful around the house. It was a bit too hot for me to go very far so I spent the day in the garden helping get rid of all the weeds.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had more walks and adventures today! All the lambs are out in the fields, this one looks like he has a black heart on his wool, or is that just me? My human always makes sure I\u2019m kept on my lead around the lambs and livestock so I don\u2019t scare them.<\/span><\/p>\n

We covered a 5-mile loop from our home in Windermere<\/a>, over School Kott down towards Crook and back round. Fresh air and exercise is definitely needed at a time like this, it can do wonders for your mental health and wellbeing. <\/span><\/p>\n

My human is back to working from home today, so I\u2019m patiently waiting for 17:30. I\u2019ve found a nice sunny spot in the living room \u2013 so this is me for the rest of the afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n
