Welcome to "Man with two dogs" - the family website for dog owners and dog walkers.

LAST SUNDAY I took a walk with Inka which I had been intending to do all summer. I chose the best day, for it was sunny and mild.

IT’S UNCANNY the way the planets align and things coincide. I came across an e-mail from a reader in Canada that I had saved from December 2007. What had prompted her to contact me was the recipe in my first book, Man with Two Dogs, A Breath of Fresh Air from Scotland, for the Doyenne’s rowan and apple jelly which has been the accompaniment to so many fine meals, especially game dishes and lamb.

CHANGING THE clocks back last weekend caused confusion in more than the dog walking routine. Losing an hour in the afternoon means changing Inka’s programme to a walk soon after lunch otherwise the light starts to fade and I won’t see as much to write about.
