Groundhog day.
Wake up. Look out the window: rain, low cloud, grey, windy. Can't see the Sidlaws (haven't seen them for weeks it seems). After breakfast, fleeces and waterproof coats on dogs, humans layer up finishing with full waterproofs and wellies. Decide which wet, muddy, route to take the dogs. Splash through ponds on the paths. Look for signs of spring - snowdrops and catkins. Dogs sniff out rabbit and/or squirrel scents.
Back home, hose down dogs legs, hose down dog coats /2

Hose down boots, all wet stuff in big bucket. Take up to dry in bathroom again to be dry for evening dog walk...

Repeat.
