If you live in the UK then you obviously will be aware that we're having a serious heatwave. And whilst it's glorious for us humans it's not too fun for our beloved dogs so I thought today I'd share an easy guide to keeping your hounds cool in a heatwave.

Probably one of my favourite things about owning a hound is that you have to put them in coats in the colder months. Due to the fact that they such little body fat and a high percentage of muscle it means that they get cold very easily. My girls live in their jumpers and coats all year round as we live in the UK and the weather is so unpredictable. When we first got Josie we had no idea where to start with coats and jumpers and what was good and what wasn't so I thought I'd share some of our favourites in hound fashion with you today.

First of all, please accept our apologies. We didn't mean to disappear from the blogging world when we've only just made our entrance but we're back now. To come back we thought that we would share our favourite walks in our local area. We're fortunate enough to reside in a small village in the countryside but only a short drive from more populated areas and we're always exploring new places to go. We've got a lot of favourite walk spots but here are our most loved off lead and on lead walks in Nottinghamshire.

To properly kick off The Adventures of Josie & Edie I thought I'd go old school blogger on you and share what is in the dog's bag and their day to day essentials. Before having a dog who is solely my responsibility I never quite realised just how many things there were to buy for them or just how much joy I would get from buying them new things either So here is everything we love from leads to treats to toys.
