COMPLETED!

BACKGROUND
Very basic, very easy thing that I never do.
When we first got Jazz – the oldest of my two dogs, a rescue that had been badly treated – I had a lot more time and would regularly let her go tearing around these local woods, but eventually I had less time and our walks fell back to some slightly more local woods and fields. Great place, but the same place, every day.
The Black Woods are ancient woodland, woodland since the end of the last ice age, and they just feel different. So this goal is simple: walk both dogs through the Black Woods. Hopefully I’ll rekindle the old habit.

PROGRESS
Update 1, 26/01/09: Took Jazz today! She had a lovely time stalking the squirrels. You know that Collie freeze-in-position thing? That’s what she does, right low to the ground. She’s got to stay on her lead when she’s in the woods because I can’t see who else might be coming through the trees and she tends to be a bit grumpy with dogs on leads. And chase after cyclists! Not so much fun for the cyclists.
Taking my other dog, Louis – younger, bigger, sillier – asap.

Update 2, 15/02/09: Took Louis yesterday and he bloody loved it. He’s safe to go off the lead, went tearing around after the squirrels, met three new dogs and generally had a lovely time.
Very glad I put this down as a goal. It really was a simple thing that I needed an excuse to get around to doing.
