Helloooo!
This post is a little late as it happened last month as my birthday surprise! However I couldn't not blog about it as it was such an amazing experience...
I travelled to my mums up in the lakes to begin my mysterious birthday journey. We were up bright an early and my only instruction was to wear 'warm, outdoor clothes'. We drove for miles into the remote areas of the lakes. Every few moments my mum would turn round and say 'do you know where we're going?!' and I was pretty much clueless. I grew up in the lakes but I wasn't familiar with the areas we were driving through. We stopped the car a few times to capture some 'seriously where the heck are we' style photos which was fun!

Then it was my turn! It took a bit of getting used to but once I got the hang of it (read: didn't break the handle off) it was great fun, Star was such a cutie and was conscious of the commands and got plenty of reassurance from me 'gooooood gurl starrry star, yessh you are, clever guuuuurl'
Sonia told me a few facts about huskys & marmalutes after I gushed that I needed one in my life. There were a few things that I didn't know about the breed: one being that they can never be let of the lead, another being that they have an independence that kicks in as they grow up and it can completely change the nature of the dog. I think it will be a while before I can even consider bringing a pup into my life but it definitely gave me something to think about. After the quickest hour ever, we went back to Sonia's house and were introduced to the rest of the pack. Sonia has adopted all of her dogs from rescue centres as many end up there after their owners can't handle the attention and training that they need. All the dogs at horse and husky have their own characteristics, they were all very friendly and had responded well to Sonias training.
As it was time to say goodbye to the dogs, I gave them all a last cuddle and went back to the car. We then went for a stroll along the seafront at Bootle which was lovely. It was a perfect birthday surprise and such fun day for everyone :)
Have you ever done anything like this before?!
