Golden Moments: Dock Dog Days with the Golden Retrievers
It's been a while since I brought you guys an update with the two golden boys in my life. Of course I'm speaking of the beloved Boomer and his brother Brody (the newer addition to the family). Last month I was home with the two trouble making golden retrievers and we spent a number of days exploring the water. This is a first for the boys. We've waited until they were "adult" enough to handle the rules of being dock dwellers. The day came and out we went, to the water.
The reaction was, well, hilarious. Both pups were over the moon and let me snap away as they explored this crazy moving surface that carried everything from fish to large pieces of wood past the end of the dock. The idea of a moving body of water was completely foreign to these two. Then I jumped in and that threw them into overdrive. Their rescue instinct overwhelmed them and Brody went straight into the water - head first. His first interaction with the water involved a swan dive. He didn't come up for a few seconds and I'm not going to lie, we were panicked. But, up he finally came and he swam over to me with a look of absolute terror in his eyes. Never before have I seen a golden more terrified of water. Maybe waiting wasn't such a good idea after all.
Boomer was a little bit tougher to get into the water. He paced up and down the dock as I swam and finally fell in. Truly, he had no intention of actually going in. The poor pooch. He swam over to me and wrapped his paws so tightly around my shoulders that I was left with bruises. Needless to say, our first water experience was one that taught us all a lot - mainly that we need to start with the ocean, not the open waterway from a dock.
Naturally, I don't have any pictures of the actual water experience. But I do have the dried aftermath, when we made our way down the dock later that night to enjoy the sunset and take another look at the water from a safe distance. I think both boys were relieved I didn't dive in.
I'm back home with the pups in a month's time so there will be plenty more updates to come...
The perfect furry pom pom bag pet
Last year I fell in love with a little furry man wearing oversized spectacles. No, I'm not hinting at the physical appearance of the mysterious FFG. This little furry creature I'm referencing was the brainchild of Sophie Hulme. He was bite sized bag pet and he hung from my tote for a whole season, swinging back and forth and making people smile from Notting Hill to London Fields.
This season, Sophie Hulme is bringing us a new little bag pet in the form of an oversized pom pom made of shearling. At £150, it isn't the cheapest accessory to add to your bags, but it is one that will bring miles of smiles. I'm instantly in love and can't imagining leaving home without Austin. Yes, I have named him and he takes his name from another starry eyed legend - Mr. Austin Powers.

Trek America - Day 4-7
In a theme that seems common with my travels I ended up losing all my photos from Moab and Bryce Canyon. Im so annoyed as Moab was probably my favourite part of our whole trip! It's a really cool town, kinda like hippy-ish and really chill. Here we ended up staying in a hotel for three nights which was a welcome break from the cold two nights we'd had! We went on this super cool sunset Jeep tour where we saw some amazing rocks and even some real dinosaur prints (yeap that photo is a REAL dino print!) Im such a fangirl when it comes to stuff like that and I was SO excited to see actual dinosaur stuff. We also went to Dead Horse point which was amazingly cool. I thought it was the biggest ammount of Canyon land I'd ever seen... well until we rocked up to the Grand Canyon!I do have footage of this so it'll be in my full vlog!
I also had a really moody day leading up to our time in Monument Valley. I was tired, sick and bored of being soggy and wet all the time. I even had a little melt down on Twitter about it which a lot of people took as the fact I hadnt enjoyed my trip at all. There are pros and cons of my experiance which I'll summarise at the end, but In hindsight I regret being such a Diva and getting pissed off at silly things but thats the downside of group travel. I think I just needed some "me" time and having people telling you need to be here there and everywhere constantly is really hard. Especially when you're so used to planning your own life out all the time.
I also think I was a bit hungover, somehow we managed to get incredibly drunk one night in Utah (considering they only sell 3% alcohol) and walked for ages to find a 7Eleven. In which Tyson and Steve bought Burritos, put them on the floor and then collected them later on in the night. I have no recollection of this but it was a really fun night to be honest. That's always gonna be my favourite part of the trip is the evenings where we'd get drunk and gossip and just talk about life. You get so close to people so quickly and before you know it you've spilled the sordid details of your sex life and tell people when you're going for a poop. It's weird.
On the drive to Monument Valley we stopped off at some pretty cool points. Including a place called Goose Necks... which I encountered my first gross toilet. In which I opened a toilet to go pee and there was shit everywhere. Literally an unholy amount of poop that I just instantly shrieked and ran away. We also stopped off at that spot in Forrest Gump where he just stops running randomly and decides to go home. But this was again during my moody day and I'm slapping myself now but I was really having a crappy day and projecting it on to others was not cool of me.
We drove through Monument Valley and got told all about the various rocks and what they all meant. It's actually really cool seeing this huge stone structures some natural and carved by the Navajo up close. Our guide told us about some of the Navajo culture and really shared their beliefs and stories with us. We had traiditonal Navajo Taco's (which were amazing) and did some dancing round the fire in the rain. While the rain that had initially put me in a bad mood was beating down on us (seriously we were ALL soaked) we had the best fun and one of the most entertaining evenings of our trip.
That evening we spent the night in a traditional Hogan which is the traditional houses of the Navajo people.They are these round mud huts and I really regret not taking any photos! I think I was too excited about the idea of all sleeping together to think about the #content.
All of us "Cool Crew" as we dubbed ourselves insisted we sleep together in a line which on reflection was a bad idea. Between Steve's coughing and him telling Evan "DUDE SHUT UP" and not to mention Evans's monstrous snoring none of us really got much sleep. Corrie did her first nature wee and I managed to be sick and wee all while Hannah Gale laughed in my face. I'd inhaled way too much chemical fumes and was just feeling less than awesome. None the less it was an experience I was never going to forget!
