PARK LIFE!

Morris : We have been on a trip. It was amazing. We went down to a place called Hitchin, near London. It was hot. Very hot. We stayed cool and slept a lot but in between times we had adventures and met new dog chums. We were living on a farm and they had hares. A LOT of hares. We'd get up in the morning and Mabel and I knew where to go. Didn't catch any but the chase was fun. They were big hares. Way, way bigger than the ones here, at home. Then, one day we went to visit St Albans. Didn't make it but I hung out the car with my goggles on.

I got loads of attention and smiles. I was very pleased. I really showed off what fabulous looking dogs we are. We also did some running about in a dog park for photos. I wasn't feeling like running about too much but I did get pictures taken. This was far more Mabel's thing.

Mabel : He is right. It was great fun. I really enjoyed meeting all the new dogs. There was Aggie, originally from Ukraine. She could be a bit bossy, She ran right round the whole park looking for the weak spots. She was like someone from the Great Escape.

Then there was Gus. A Springer Spaniel from the farm.. He's my kinda guy, long black hair, lots of energy and fast. He was a lot of fun.

Heidi came too. She's an older lady. A long haired Jack Russell. She must be about twelve. Sill could get around though. I got the impression you didn't meddle with her. She knew what she wanted and you didn't get in her way.

I had a bit of a sore shoulder but still managed to run around. Morris just lay around. Think he was too hot and yet he's the one that does all the sunbathing at home.

Another new pal, Basil couldn't come to the park. He had to go home for a haircut. Poor chap. He missed the fun.

It was really fun getting away and meeting new soouls. Morris is happy if he can see Ewen but I enjoyed talking to others. It was lovely to get home again. My bat cave was waiting and I just crawled in and went to sleep. It's lovely to get away but it's even better to come home. Must keep an eye out for that Bengal cat!!!!!
