Hello again, today i went on yet another walk. Todays walk was not as long as some of the other walks i have done but it was a lovely walk.  I went with 4 of my owners to the blue light pub.

We started the walk from my house at around 12. Because of the housing estate where my house was built on a hill it is a though walk out.  It is very steep at some points. The walk took us around 45 minutes there and around 30 minutes back. it easier on the way back because it is down hill. It is 3.3 kilometres to the pub.

The walk is on through a forrest with loads f really big old tress. I love this because my owners let me off the lead and there are loads of big sticks and branches i can play with.  Sometimes they even let be bring one home.

We were very lucky today because the weather was really nice, the sun was shinning and there was barely and clouds. Once we got to the pub we could see out over all of Dublin. We could see Howth, Killiney, Irelands eye and we could even see my owners school. The ocean looked really nice and cool. It was really warm so i wish i was going tot the beach. My owners go some food and drinks and the nice lady gave a bowl of water. Once they had finished we walk back home again.

Hello friends, today i went for another walk. I went for a walk with my whole family, this is rare a lot of the time it just two of my older owners. Today we did my favourite walk, which is the sugarloaf trail we do this regularly.

The sugar loaf is located in county Wicklow and it is apart of the Wicklow Mountains. It stands out from the rest of the mountains in the area due to its conical or volcanic shape. The walk was 2.5km and took us around 2 hours which i thought was a perfect length not too long but not too short, i have quite small legs so i don't like super long walks.

The walk was very nice, the terrain was different to all there other walks i do, as it is a mountain track. It started off easy and gradually got harder as the walk went on. Towards the top of the track it go very sleep with a lot of loose rocks, i found this bit quite hard. One of my owners fell over but he was fine.

Once we reached the highest point of the walk which was at 500 meters we could see way out across wIcklow and some of Dublin. At some points we could even see the sea. It was beautiful. I heard one of my owners saying that the sugarloaf was made from Quartzite but most of the mountains in the west are actually made up of Granite.

One thing don't like about it though is that i have to stay on my lead. Its a rule that dogs have to be kept on leads on this trails however, i still really enjoyed this walk and i can't wait to do it again.

Hello friends, today was an amazing day. I went for a walk along the Ballycuggaran loop over looking Lough Derg.

My family have a house in Ballina, Tipperary on the river Shannon. Ballina is located just outside of Limerick, around 2 hours drive from Dublin on the motorway. This is why we were in Tipperary. I Love coming here because my half sister Abbie lives here too with my owner friends. Abbie come with me on the walk.

We started the walk from killaloe in county Clare. Ballina and Killaloe are sister towns located opposite each other on the river Shannon however, the are both on the boarders of two different counties. The walk was about 5.6 kilometers, it took us around 2 hours to do. This walk was quite hard as a lot of it was up hill but it was well worth it. The views were just amazing we were able to look out to see the Annacarriga valley and the hills that stretch from Caherhurly to Ogonnelloe. But most impressive of all we could see all of Lough Derg, it was beautiful. I really liked this walk because it terrain was very different to normal, we were walking through forest with lots of really big trees and cool plants.

Hello, Today was such a good day. Aoife just woke up at around 9am but I had been up for hours at that stage. Today we went on a walk down Dun Laoghaire pier and I was so lucky because after went to Dalkey beach for a run. Dalkey beach is my favourite place because my owners let me off my lead and I am able to jump into the water.

We left the house at around 11am and we drove to Dun Laoghaire. My house is in Stepaside, which is on the edge of the Dublin Mountains. I really like living there because it in quitter than a lot of other places in Dublin however, I hate going for walks around there because I have to walk up loads of steep hills and that takes a lot of effort. I would prefer if the walk was flat, this is why I love walking the pier.
Dun Laoghaire is located along the coast in between Bray and Blackrock. It has two peers the east and west peers, that stick out into Dublin bay. The east pier is a 2.6 kilometre return journey, so i get very tired when i do it. From the pier you can see all the way out to Howth, which is the other side of Dublin.

Dalkey is really cool because its landscape is very different to to Dun Lourghaire even though they are very close together. Dalkey built on hills that lead down to the beach. It is very beautiful with little islands of the coast and cliffs. I heard my owner say that lots of Irish celebrities live here such as Bono and Enya.
