Sad news that Tamara, a lynx released at the beginning of March in the Sierra Arana north of Granada, was found run over. It is one of 3 lynxes that were reintroduced on March 3. This is the third lyn...

Spring has definitely arrived in southern Spain. Even where I live, at 700 metres of altitude, it's 26c+ this afternoon. Here's an image of our Siberian Husky, Arko enjoying the dog walk this morning...

@Chiggles Lovely dogs. Do you find that the true husky character comes through? Arko has some husky traits but is generally much calmer than your average husky

Let me introduce you to my two dogs, Rita and Arko. Rita is a bit of a mix and Arko is a husky/malamute cross as far as we can ascertain. Both lovely dogs and good hiking companions.
River Walk with the Dogs
What to do during a heatwave. Take the dogs for a river walk of course. Super proud of these two, they both remembered how to swim and seemed to really enjoy it
