Quite distinguishing if I do say so myself!

Wow… what a wet and windy week it’s been but I don’t mind that at all, in fact, the wetter the better. This week I’ve been to one of my old haunts at Wetherby, namely the old railway track where there’s miles and miles of tree lined walks to explore and it’s all very safe because there are no trains running there anymore and no old lines either so I can run to my hearts content without fear of the 4.50 from Paddington coming along!... yes, you can tell I’m a bit of an Agatha Christie buff lol.

If you’re feeling energetic, you can walk all the way to Spofforth and enjoy a bit of light refreshment at the local inn. I can’t understand why Pete and Sue always end up with cloudy looking water, with foam on top, while mine’s always crystal clear…. it must be something to do with the glasses theirs is served in! Sadly for me, we went just as the sun decided to shine, which meant I couldn’t charge through puddles and roll in mud as I like to but even so I had a lovely time and worked up quite an appetite… I hope Sue put that joint of beef in the oven before we came out.

You do see some sights while you’re out don’t you? There I was just sniffing around minding my own business when out of nowhere came two joggers who were dressed just like those 118118 guys and all of a sudden one bent down in front of the other and they took it in turns leap-frogging over each other….if only I’d brought my handycam with me!! Back to the doggy stuff now and just an early warning for all my canine friends out there that Xmas will soon be with us. Yes, it’s that time of year when all our owners think how adorable and cute we look with a pair of antlers stuck on our head and how they must take a photo and show the rest of the world. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
Thats all for the moment but come back soon ton see where I've been and what I've been up to and if you have anything you want to share then just click on the facebook/twitter link on my home page.... see you soon.

“What’s all the fuss about"

So it’s that time of year again when all you humans out there think you can disturb my sleep with all that loud noise and flashing lights….. well think again!!   As you can see, it takes more than a few sky rockets and air bombs to unsettle me. Having said that, I know that for a lot of pets it can be a very stressful time of the year, in human terms it’s the same as waiting to go in and see the dentist if you’re very nervous or the sheer terror of the mother in law coming round!! I find the best way to avoid any unwanted stress is to stay indoors, get all cosied up on my favourite blanket (or sofa in my case), and watch a good film with Pete & Sue… oh, and a nice box of choccys always helps, NOT for me of course as they’re really bad for me (at least that’s what they tell me) but i much prefer a squeaky toy just to annoy them.

Funny story….and true!    Did you all here about the chocolate labrador called….wait for it…”TRIGGER” who accidently shot her owner Allie Cater in the foot while they were out hunting. The 11yr old lab stepped on 12-gauge shotgun, pressing the trigger and blasting her in the foot. Luckily, Allie is ok after a short trip to the hospital.

Here is the “trigger happy” pooch…

I’ve been to one of my favourite haunts this week at Roundhay Park although it’s been foggy nearly every day. One of the best places to go because it’s so big and there’s always lots to do. There are a couple of lakes with swans and ducks, lots of wooded walks, large areas of open grass where I can play safely with my ball or when I’m feeling energetic, my frisbee and there’s even places for Pete & Sue where they can get a drink… though now they’re getting to “that” age, I think sitting by the bandstand is more up their street!! My favourite bit though is the part they call Roundhay Gorge (well it would be food related haha) which has a stream running all the way through it, just for me to run in and get absolutely wet and muddy….lovely : )

An eerie looking Roundhay Park lake, don’t think I’ll be going in for a dip today!!

See you all again soon.
