It’s October, join me on a calm, cosy Autumn day as I hike up through a beautiful woodland to go wild swimming in the tarn.

New to the Channel? ♥
Hi, I’m Chloe. I grew up in the lovely Devonshire countryside though, seeking wilder and more rugged landscape, now live in Cumbria on the edge of the Lake District with my husband Ryan and our spaniel, Cam.
Join us on our adventures in the fells.
We love wild camping and swimming, climbing, hiking the Wainwrights, scrambling, fell running and exploring historical sites.
I hope our videos give you a moment of calm and cosiness and a little inspiration to get out on your own adventures.

This is my first sponsored video which is a big milestone for my channel. It feels as if I'm returning to working in the outdoors, in this different way. So thanks so much for watching and helping me find my way back.
Open water swimming guidance: rnli.org/safety/choose-your-activity/open-water-swimming#
Beautiful videography, great video, made me feel relaxed
Thank you, glad to hear it 😊
So sorry to hear about your pup and you! Glad you both are okay
Thanks so much Dave 🙏
Cam is one smart dog, finding his way home, I love watching him joyfully swimming in the creeks and lakes.
You make beautiful films. And there were things you said that I needed to hear at the moment, thank you.
Thanks Naomi, I'm glad it spoke to you 😊
Enjoy your hike ⛺😊
I really feel for you both... I've been there with my border collie. He ran all the way home too. So clever. He's no longer with me now in body and I miss him every day. Glad you're back I find your videos so peaceful and calming to watch. Take care both of you xx
Aw, I'm sorry to hear that on both counts. I'm sure you have him a wonderful life.
@@FablesandFells Yes, he had a good life fell walking any chance we got. We have a cocker spaniel now 😊 She's uet to see the fells. Can't wait. Take care you two xx
Love the Lake District had summer hols there this year it has similar weather to us in scotland always raining 😂 plan to return soon. I was told to get into nature more as well reduce stress and improve circulation did contemplate open water swimmer . But Ive had raynaud's since young but got worse since I hit my 50's and developing rheumatoid arthritis because of it now. So I appreciate how you feel that some days are hard. Love the video though great escapism
Thank you so much for your kind 'Super Thanks'! That's so generious of you! Haha yes that doesn't surprise me, I think we're the wettest place in the country 😅 Sorry to hear of your health complications. I imagine the cold water would be counterproductive for your Raynaud's? Hopefully you can wrap up nice and walk and enjoy the walking nonetheless. For hiking, I always wear proper outdoor mittens instead of gloves as my hands get very cold and slow going into winter and I find mittens help to keep my hands so much warmer. Enjoy your wanders 😊
@FablesandFells thanks take care have great adventures as well 🏴
@@jnicklinand hello to you 😄 from Poland 🇵🇱 and my channel and countryside 🏡😊! Wishing you health!!
So very glad to hear from you again, Chloe. I'm staring at my screen, and for once in my life, I really can't find the words.
It galls me, but I'm left with nothing but a stupid cliche:
With this current video, you've completely outdone yourself.
Every aspect of the video was it's own distinct pleasure:
The sound, the visuals, the words spoken, the tone of your voice, the literary quotes, the gestalt.
In a culture composed of sensational crap (at best), works of true beauty are rarer than rubies, and your channel is truly a gem.
Thank you!
Aw that's one of the nicest comments I have ever received, thank you so much. I'm so glad you continue to enjoy them 😊
Your marriage of image and music and your evocative color grading is such a treat! Wordsworth would appreciate the rhythmical creation of beauty that your cinematography captures. Cam is the best of companions, too, especially on such a courageous, more vulnerable excursion as this. But I am reminded by your example, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." I suspect you know the author. Thank you, and cheers to your coziness. Thank you for inviting us along!
Aw thank you so much, that's lovely. I sure do haha 🙏 It's one of my favourites. Thank you for coming along 😊
As someone who has cancer, not terminal thank God, I love the serenity and headspace your videos give me! Nature has its own healing ways! Hugs to you and the bonnie pooch, stay positive and keep sharing your journey!❤
I'm so happy to hear you enjoy them. Wishing you all the best with your health going forward 💚
The worlds in a pretty painful state at the moment, this beautiful few moments should make everyone realise it needn't be so for the individual that has the luxury to immerse oneself into nature .....there is no better way to remind oneself of this than to watch fables and fells, this, for me is the equal of any multi million pound documentary the BBC do so well ....thank you!
Aw that means so much, thank you. I have a lot of improvements to make and I'll never reach that level, but it's so kind of you to appreciate my efforts ♥️
As someone who suffers from multiple auto-immune diseases, I can empathize with your plight and I pray for your continued good health and well being. Also, I'm very happy to see that Cam is recovered and well and I look forward to your next video.
Thank you so much Troy 🙏
Excellent Video, Immensely Peaceful. I had a dog (beagle) once myself & I let him roam free when climbing the foothills of North Georgia, USA. I lost poor Levi so I got very emotional when I heard of what happened to Cam. So glad he/she is okay now.
Thank you. I'm sorry to hear about Levi, sounds like he had a great life 🙏
You are an amazing film maker.
You produce wonderfully relaxing yet inspirational videos.
You have a great eye for pleasing compositions and a truly great ear for appropriate soundtracks.
I am sorry you and beautiful spaniel had a traumatic experience at the hands of people and their out of control and untrained dogs. These people make me sick
Very recently my father who is in his 80s.was walking his little dog and was attacked by an out of control staffie. His dog suffered bites and so did he has he tried to protect his dog.
I am glad you are both ok and are beginning to enjoy once more the natural wonder that is the lake district.
Thank you for all your work to bring us these beautiful films
Thank you so much for your very kind words, that's much appreciated. I'm so sorry to hear your father went through that, I hope they have both recovered ok?
@FablesandFells they have thank you. I hope you and you beautiful dog have too
@13:19 ''I dont think he knows about second breakfast''
Right on 🙌🏼😄
Chloe you give so much joy from your videos. Please keep going in spite of the pain. 3 months is too long!!
That's nice to hear, glad you enjoy them. It's been a struggle doing all the long hours of editing with my back/neck at the moment but doing my best to get the next one out next week!
That rain forest is so stunning and so glad your puppy is ok , thanks for the video
A pleasure to watch and listen. I've not really observed any of your videos but I resonated with this - the bodily pain and the relief found in nature. I mean it is a vibration that enables us to ascend the pain either body or mental or both. I'm a waterling too - I can't live without being in the water. I'm mellow as a cello each time. Sorry. to hear about your dog. I had a violent time in life and it is traumatic although dogs don't have the same ego as we do and do not get offended so much. He is a lovely beaming life. Well, them simple things work alright - I've always got the brew out as a raving biophiliac. Many thanks for the inspiration. Take care out there and be well. Mark (Herefordshire)
Thanks so much Mark, he really is. I'm glad you are able to enjoy nature with a brew too ☕
@@FablesandFells A pleasure. Yeah, just been out into as special place now. Have a good week ahead.
Not the video you had planned.........but probably your best video yet. You gave yourself to the 14 minutes. And that is always very enlightening to everyone watching. And yet, Cam still stole the show, as dogs always do......damn their scene stealing abilities......😂😂......Lovely video. x
Ahh thank you. Haha he sure does, he's such a character 😄
what a great dog
Thanks
Thanks for sharing! And sorry to hear about your dog, super glad he recovered well. Great story telling and cinematography! Simply superb!
Keep them coming.
-Liam 🇦🇺 🤙🏿
Thanks so much for continuing to watch them Liam 😊
I love that you don't post so frequently, but I am really sorry to hear that chronic pain may be at least part of the reason. I can relate, as I have a rare condition called XLH (X-linked hypophosphatemia). I'm a lecturer in Geography, and I teach all of our first-year students in the Lake District at Bowscale Tarn every year, so I can relate to how important getting out in nature is...even if it is rarer than we would perhaps like. I feel like your videos always seem to arrive at exactly the right time. I have felt terrible for a couple of weeks, and it's amazing how much this video has reset my priorities. Thank you :)
I'm so glad they resonate with you. Hats off to you for doing such a full on job while managing that condition! That's wonderful that you take them into the Lakes. Thanks so much for watching 😊
Love your little tin mug xx
Thanks ☕
Great to see him out loving life again! People have no idea the damage out of control dogs can do both physically and emotionally. Amazing he found his way home, they surprise us every day! He’s a lucky boy to have you 🖤
Thank you. So glad he isn't traumatised long term. Unfortunately these dogs had been involved in an incident previously so should have never been loose like that. Like you say, people really don't realise the impact. I'll never forget that sight and sound. So glad he made his way home.
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and cold swimming was just a part of life. There is something mystical about swimming in cold water while it's raining. The quieted forests of Autumn create the perfect blank canvas for the sounds of the rain and rivers. It's just so peaceful.
Yes absolutely. That looks like such a beautiful area. I've been to Portland and Seattle but would love to explore the countryside.
@@FablesandFells the Cascade foothills, anywhere near Mount Hood, is just excellent. If you ever make it back out there, check out some of the main mountains. Dormant volcanoes covered in snow make for a beautiful background while going for a cold dip! 😊
Thank you, it is stunning, I hope to be back 😊
Beautiful, peaceful, serene and delighted to see you back where you belong... ATB Chloe.
Thanks so much 😊
These first couple of minutes already made me speechless, always amazing to see how beautiful our planet is. Your channel is truly magnificent. All of the camera angles and effort and dedication you put into your passions is awesome! Masterpiece!
Thank you so much 🙏
Another wonderfully calming video. Sorry to hear of your health troubles but keep doing what you do and get the best out of life.
Thanks Ronnie 🙏
So sorry to hear about Cam, glad to hear he’s recovered. Spaniels are the greatest.❤.
Thanks Gary 🐾
What a great tumpnail! I loooove it! The colours looks so great!🔥🌲
Aw thank you 😊
I'm so pleased you have returned. I love to watch your videos late evening as they have such an ethereal feel about them and are beautifully shot. Thank you .
Thanks for continuing to watch them 😊
Thank you for another lovely video Chloe. As i sit here watching it is early Spring 🌼, thankfully another Winter is at an end and i am gearing up for yet more encounters with Mother Nature both here in the North Yorkshire Dales and my beloved Lake District.
Hope that you are well and planning your own unique journeys ❤.
Thanks Paul. The extra light is a relief isn't it. It has been a longer Winter and seems to be lingering on, but hopeful it will ease up soon!
I'm so sorry to hear about the dog attack, dog fights can be so vicious.
Thank you for sharing your health struggles as well. Sending gentle healing thoughts to both of you ❤️
Thanks so much ❤️
Nice to see you back. It’s been way too long. Wishing you all the best from Canada.
Thanks so much 🇨🇦
Truly like to thank you for such a beautiful video, wow the colours and the beauty of the Lake District. I also suffer from a inflammatory disease which totally takes a toll. But my biggest help and medicine is the great outdoors really does help. Take care 🙏
Thanks so much Chris. Sorry you are suffering with that. I'm glad you find solace in nature too.
Brilliant video as always. Lovely editing. Lord of the rings has inspired my love for nature and adventure, so it's wonderful to see others that have clearly taken the same inspiration from those books and films. Glad to hear Cam is doing well, I remember seeing your IG post about him. Please continue to make these videos if you can, they bring me a sense of calmness similar to one of my favourite tv shows, Detectorists. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it. I'm not and likely never will be into metal detecting, but the show brings an indescribable peacefulness to me, and displays the joys of nature in a wholesome way. It's also a good laugh too.
Ahh thank you 😊 I have seen it but not watched it properly, so I will have to go find it again. I have actually been casually interested in doing some detecting 😄
Trust "Old Faithful"... All the way across the walkway and all the way back... Then jumps in. Brilliant!! Just discovered your last Hardknott vid then this came up. Consider me subscribed.. Excellent, Peaceful.. Isn't this what living should be about?. Thanks for making a vid that makes people think. : )
Swimming in the water then drinking in that scenery is good for the soul I recently found wild swimming and am all the better for it thank you for a lovely video
Thanks for watching Victoria 😊 Glad you enjoyed it and have been getting out too 🏊♀️
Glad to hear and see you back , doing what you love. Have missed your very soothing voice , I’ll look out for more to come .
Thanks so much Nigel 🙏
This was just what I needed to see today. What a wonderfully cosy way to spend a wet autumn day
Thanks Imogen, glad you could come along 😊
@@FablesandFells Also, Tolkien, the Witcher and now Heartland. I like your taste 😄
😆
I do understand your pain, many years ago I broke my back and tore a bunch of muscles and damaged nerves. I have been living in constant pain since. It took me a while to be able to get out and start doing things again. And tomorrow I'm going on my first solo hike in camp in many, many years. May even post it at some point.
I'm sorry to hear that, I can't imagine how tough that must have been! How did your hike & camp go??
Great video, nothing better than a wild swim and a picnic. thanks
Thanks again. Great film. So many b roll clips, I've said it before but your films are so you! They are one of a kind, have a look of their own. And that's awesome. Well done....thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your story. And oh my the dog, I'm two years into my first dog and I'd be just as affected. But he's fine and I'm sure still wants to enjoy the freedom to go out. ❤
Ahh thanks so much, it's so nice for you to see that. I hope you both enjoy your walks 🐾
@@FablesandFells he won't do the fells with me.....too short a legs 😜. Mini datchund . Love the films keep it up
@@MountainManJohnFilms hahaha bless him.
Hi Chloe and Cam, so sorry to hear of Cams ordeal. Glad he is better. He is amazing and the two of you make the most beautiful, empowering and tranquil videos. Thank you for sharing. It really helps. P
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it 😊
It’s good to hear Cam has got over his attack so well, hopefully your confidence will come back as I know it was a real worry at the time. Good to see the videos back. Take care.
Thanks so much ❤️
So sorry to hear about your friend but glad they’ve recovered to full health. A beautiful video as always, wish I’d watched it sooner
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊
I have chronic joint pain, I have a very odd kind of long Covid. I love and live in the countryside, and cold water dips this time of the year is absolutely the most refreshing thing in the world. I am in Scotland as opposed to the Lakes though, but I fully support your struggle! Keep going, and revel in what makes you happy. The cinematography was amazing too
Sorry to hear that but glad you are getting to enjoy the Scottish countryside, it's absolutely beautiful.
Looks such a perfect day spent with the best companion anyone can ask for. I plan to get out more this Autumn with my pooches. one is 12 now so he can't go far but the other, a 2 year old cockerpoo will run for miles. I'm so please Cam has recovered well.
Yes he absolutely loves being in the woods and swimming. I hope you all.enjoy your wanders 🐾
What a beautiful video, some absolutely gorgous shots. I could almost smell the damp woodland and the rain in the air. Glad Cam's doing ok and you're continuing your healing journey. Your videos are so wholesome and relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Michael, it's been so rainy here but I never mind it in the woods.
Really enjoyed you sharing your journey about the health problems so inspiring of you,take care and stay safe ❤❤
Thank you and thanks for watching 🙏🏼
@@FablesandFells ❤️❤️
Wow, really enjoyed this one. Thanks for being so open and sharing your journey with your health. That takes great courage. Beautiful cinematic shots, got a great style going on 🙏
Thank you Rory, appreciate your kind words 🙏
Such a beautiful soul. Watching your videos is so calming, love them. Dog attacks can be so traumatic for both you and your dog. Mine was attacked a few years ago, he came out with some pretty serious wounds. The way I dealt with it was to get us both straight back out there interacting with other dogs. I didn’t try to keep him away as some would frightened something wound happen. I think doing this help him (and me if I’m honest) overcome any lingering fear. Anyway, I look forward to seeing your next adventure 😊
So sorry to hear that. I'm glad your is doing better. I gave him some decompression time and then I organised some walks with calm dogs so that has worked well for him. He's endured so many incidents now I was worried this would be the last straw but he's done so well 😊
Wonderful video. Glad you two are healing somewhat. Cam clearly got over it and was having a wonderful time.
Thanks Terry, yes he has bounced back well 🐾
Loving the Lord of the rings quotes. ❤
Lovely soulful content, I also had the trauma and still do when one of my whippets had a serious injury out in the wilds, 4 mile hike back carrying him was hell, 2 years on he still bears the scars and he can never go into the wilds again. ❤❤
Oh that's so sad, I'm so sorry to hear that. Poor boy 😞
Beautiful scenery, especially when you're in it...
Very lovely photography and some great quotes. I feel like I've walked alongside you for a quarter hour .. woodland wonders...and edifying treks .. (regards from the dry Australian pre-summer. ) Adam
Thanks Adam! Glad you could share in some of our rainy weather for a few minutes! I wouldn't mind a little dry Australia weather by February, everywhere becomes a mud slide 😅
Just beautiful film, Wow the production is fab and the whole thing is a work of art !!! The swim reminded me of a crazy New years eve camping near Tarn Hows (minus 13 that evening) The next morning we went to the Tarn and it was frozen over. We even walked around the edge. Magical lord of the rings stuff !!!
Thanks so much Paul. What an experience! I love Tarn Hows, though sadly I think it's been plagued with ash dieback.
Been there a few times recently and the poor trees !!! Look forward to more films and some positivity @@FablesandFells
This was a very cozy and peaceful video.
Glad you found it cosy 😊
Excellent content and video capture! Love Cam jumping in the muddy stream... just because...
Haha always, he's a mud magnet 🐾
Your film work is fantastic. I find myself being jealous of people with your talent. You make it look so easy.
Aw thank you, but I wouldn't be jealous. I was in a lot of pain creating this and the amount of computer hours I had to put in to complete it only made my body worse off. I think talent (as much as I appreciate your kind words) is really just effort and anyone can put that in 🙏
You can tell that you spend alot of time and effort making your videos. You always capture the beauty of where you are perfectly 👍
Thanks Jake, I have a seized back at the moment so it was a bit of a griz doing all of those computer hours haha but I really enjoy it.
@@FablesandFellssorry to hear about your health complaints. At least you don’t let it stop you doing what you enjoy. ATB
Hi Chloe
Please be careful when burning candles or having fires in closed spaces. The pm2.5s they build up can be at concentrations many times that of a busy roadside. Use a high capacity air purifier that removes them and smaller particles. Or better get electric copies. They can aggravate chronic inflammatory disease and stay in the body for as long as three months.
Thanks for the thought 🙏
Enjoyed the video as usual - exceptionally well produced. I too like autumn, it is the best season. I was out yesterday in the Peak District and the colours are just great. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks Geoffrey, glad you enjoyed it. Love the Peak!
Always love watching these. This one especially, as I recover from a Major (Cancer) operation. These videos are inspirational.
Awful experience with those dogs, and pleased that he is OK. Sadly such cases are on the increase!!!
As the owner of two Cocker Spaniels, and spending lots of time with them in The Lakes, I find your content, editing and narration, truly awesome.
Thanks so much. Wishing you well on your recovery. Are you back on your feet yet? I hope it's not too long till you're walking through the lakes with your spaniels once more 🙏
Been a long struggle, but (hopefully) the worst behind me now.
Still watching these videos and enjoying.
Been back into The Lakes briefly for a few nights, which was awesome.
Health permitting, then hopefully back to more times (with the dogs), in The Lakes.
Your videos being inspirational and therapeutic.
@@FablesandFells
I always enjoy you’re adventures, you have something special there with that spiritual connection with those fabulous surroundings and that little bundle of energetic enthusiasm that’s doubling up on distance on all these stunning walks…😍
Thank you! Haha yes he always does at least double the distance, likely more, he's always so excited to explore 😄
Amazing and beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤
Sending a pat on tbe head for your doggo ❤
Ahh thank you, he loves attention 😄
Glad to see you and Cam back, and pleased you’re both doing good now. Another stunningly beautiful video 👍
Thanks for coming back and watching 😊
Thank you M'lady, for another glimpse into the pasadise of nature.
Thanks for your watches 🙏
You are a beautiful soul ❤️ keep up the good work. I manage my inflammatory issues with Yoga, Wild Swimming, Cold showers and also avoiding trigger foods. You are an inspiration. Sorry to hear about your ordeal with the dogs. Your dog is gorgeous ❤❤ I'm also a big LOTR fan, finally saw them in the cinema recently with the 22 year old son, who was a baby when the films came out!
Thank you for your kind words Connie ❤️ I'm the same, though I need to get a lot more consistent with the yoga. I'm so glad you have found the films haha. I was around 11 years old when they came out and they really stand the test of time.
Coffee In The Woods ☕️ I can think of nothing better!
So sorry about cam and your good self it's always a pleasure to watch your video's as they do help me unwind from recently hard times, glad cam is doing great I lost my beautiful dog 21 & yes still so hard, love watching you & your dog out and listening to gentle music and aways great video. Sorry if I've made spelling errors as I always watch my video in bed and my eyes apparently seems to be getting terrible great video brilliant as always ❤
Thanks for always watching them Peter, I appreciate it 🙏 Sorry about your dog, they are such beautiful souls.
I hope it was the extended version x loved this video . I'm struggling at the moment with mental health and this is exactly what I need to chill me out xx ❤❤
Haha always ⚔️ Sorry to hear that, I'm so glad it could.bring you a little calmness.
Great to see you back,i always enjoy your videos
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Awesome. Beautifully filmed once again and I just love the kit “Cam wears” 👍 Glad he’s okay
Thank you, haha yes he's well kitted out 😄
A beautiful video from a lovely lady. I’m glad your dog is ok. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks William, glad you came back to watch 🙏
I really enjoy your videos. I was sorry to hear about the chronic pain you have been dealing with. I wish you and Cam all the best.
Thank you Terry 😊
My dear friend Chloe, it is so very good to see you and Cam. It was a wonderful experience to chill with you. This video is as beautiful as your soul. Thank you for sharing this and being so open. Do take care of yourself and I'm looking forward to seeing you again ❤.
Thank you Larry, glad to bring you along 🌲
Another wonderful video.
I feel so relaxed and calm.
Aw that's lovely to hear 😊
BEAUTIFUL and Relaxing Video .. Soo HAPPY your Pup is OK after the attack .!!! Such a Loving Companion ... Your picnic lunch was tasty .. 👍👧🐕😃🤗🇺🇸
Thanks Larry, he's a lovely boy 🐾
The music, so relaxing 😌
So good to see a video from you there so relaxing I was very upset listening to your story about your dog glad he made it home safely atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Thanks Jimmy, he did so well bless him 🐾
Nice work on getting home safe Cam. Top dog.
He sure is 😊
That was great, a concentrated shot of nature. Loved the lotr references 👍
Thank you 😊
@@FablesandFellsyou're welcome, it was lovely 😊
What a lovely 🐕 dog! He seems an old soul. Only an inch below my dog :0. And beautiful video
Thank you, he's such a sweet dog.
Another beautiful video. I don't know how you manage to make the lakes look even more magical and mystical than they already are but you do!! It's like looking at middle earth.
Also please to hear Cam has bounced back. Give it time but your confidence will grow again. ♥️
Ahh thank you, I'm always looking for the magic in things so glad you are getting a little of that come through 😊
My second view of your channel. Your dog loves you…..that makes you special by me. I’ll listen for his name.
Thanks for watching 😊 His name is Cam 🐾
Hi Chloe - just discovered your channel...so happy and peaceful! I love it. I'll keep watching. Thank you.
Thanks so much 😊
Another beautifully shot and edited video. With some incredibly wise and calming words :)
Thanks guys, love your adventures on Insta 😊
Chloe another beautiful film... I wish people could watch on TV
Thanks Tim! You can watch on the TV if you have a smart TV and download the TH-cam app 😊 I watch all TH-cam on the TV.
What a calming video/channel! Something about these vids draw out some introspection. And sweet Lord of the Rings vibes xD
Thanks so much. Haha I'm always trying to get LoTR in wherever I can 😄
Your dog is cool. I hope he recovers fully from his trauma. Best wishes.
Thanks Tim, he's doing really well 😊
Wonderful to see you back! I have missed your videos! I had forgotten just how soothing your voice can be. Glad that your pup is better. Will keep your health in my prayers. Looking forward to your next adventure. As always, your filming and editing are the best.
Thanks so much for continuing to watch Oliver 🙏
Well done you, cam is a very important part of your life sorry that event happened to him and you, keep well.
Thanks Peter 🙏
Glad Cam is OK and I know what you mean about reliving the trauma yourself. I nearly lost one of my dogs to a beer bottle somebody had smashed in the woodland. She severed two arteries and a tendon and if I didn't have my first aid kit on my belt I'm sure I would have lost her as that bought her enough time to get her to the vet.
For months afterwards I felt very anxious walking them and I kept reliving the whole experience of seeing her blood immediately soak through the first two bandages and hoping to god my third and final bandage was enough. Don't feel bad or weak about being traumatised by Cam being attacked, quite often those around an incident like that become victims in a way too. Take time process it.
Thanks for another great video too.
That's awful, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm so glad you were able to save her. That's a good message to always carry first aid even on standard smaller walks.
Yes, it was traumatic. We've had multiple incidents unfortunately from dogs racing over (despite Cam having no interest in other dogs and always minding his own business). It's become quite stressful to always be on alert for potentially aggressive off lead dogs.
@@FablesandFells We have been lucky with that. It could be if you are stressed about it the dogs are picking up on it. I know when I've I've had a stressful day and I take them out at lunch hey do behave differently so I have to take a minute to relax.
@@dogdadoutdoors no these dogs sight and race over from such a distance. Owners have no recall and often are on their phones and not paying attention. Insecure neutered males typically or those who are understimulated and chronically to overaroused. I appreciate what you're saying when it comes to our stress levels when handling our own dog day in day out, but I'm certainly not the cause of this. I have a dog business so talk to people constantly about dogs and inappropriate greetings and reactivity is a big problem for many people I know. We are dog mad in this country but many people but do not learn body language, how to fulfil needs or will resort to punative training methods that create fear and frustration.
@@FablesandFells I see, yes if Cam isn't neutered that can definitely be an issue. I found with my boy dogs started not liking him once he got to about 7 months, dogs that used to be friendly towards him gradually started not being. We had him neutered when he was old enough and over a period of a few months they all went back to being friendly again.
I once swam in the snow, it was amazing!
Ahh sounds magical 🌨️
So calming watching and listening to you … many thanks for the time you must invest on making these moments 🙂
Thank you, glad you enjoy them 😊
