    Oh poor Aife, I am a carsick adult and can relate to her so hard. Can confirm that sleeping in a car also helps in a way - at least from personal experience, I feel less sick afterwards if I get even a little nap at the start of the trip. Fingers crossed she outgrows it in no time!

    When you find your dog you don't know whether to be angry or cry with joy because they worry you so much! I have a cocker spaniel who loves rabbits so know exactly how you feel! Lovely video Athena, you've inspired me to attempt a solo walk with my baby and dog, things may have gone wrong but at least you gave it a go, you knew when it was time to turn back and that's the most important thing! Much love xx

    Happy Birthday Aife! She got a lot of nice gifts. I like where you stayed at for the weekend. Looked warm, cozy, just welcomed you in. I hope Oslo's right leg/paw gets better Athena. Sure puts a scare in you when they take off like that. I'm so glad Harvey was close by. Perfect timing. Thank you for sharing your week with me. I loved seeing how you live. I love the baked oatmeal. I want to try it. Good, sour dough bread. I've not had in a long time. It was so good to see you, Harvey, Aife, & Oslo. I hope the weather gets better for you. Enjoyed seeing the goats being herded by a 4 wheeler. Something you don't see every day. Love you folks!

    We lived in a teeny space when my kids were small. We'd found wicker laundry baskets that fit under end tables, to put loose toys in. It looked fairly tidy, and was accessible to them for playing, and putting away.

    So glad Oslo is okay. Fully understand how stressful it was for you with a baby in that weather and Oslo running after a scent. We have 2 Beagles, a similar thing happened to us a few years ago in Scotland, just so relived when they returned. Dogs generally return to the same spot but it’s a natural reaction to go and try to find them, if you do, leaving something with your scent on at the spot is helpful. Thanks for another enjoyable vlog.

Always love watching your videos, thanks for all the effort you put in xx

    HI Athena, I Loooove to follow your videos and how the content have evolved in line with your life changes. If you know you won't be able to feed the starter, you can freeze it. I know it sounds crazy, but it works! You then thaw it and feed it for 3 days in a row and it should be fine.

    Loved the longer video and dogs have a habit of knowing just when to miss behave! It took years to get on top of my boys ,blink and he would be off situation! And just when you think you have it in the bag...Gone! In a flash however those years are well behind him now as he uses a wheel chair now,he is 13.5 which is exceptional for a Dalmatian,little monkeys but we wouldn't be without them. Having Aífe strapped to your back would have been so stressful in not knowing what to do first. I can imagine she is very heavy now,she is a beautiful little lady, have you tried those travel bands when she is in the car for the sickness,or attach one to her chair it may help. Have a lovely week all. 😊🐾
