FEBRUARY

Please can we go for a walk now…… I’ve waited patiently for the snooker to finish (I must say I am a bit flummoxed by all those balls, and how they disappear down holes - very similar to rabbits).  We could squeeze in a nice walk before the darts start or we could do an even longer walk before the golf starts……

The Mrs helps me by explaining to the Boss that “the dog wants to go for a walk” at which point he jumps up with alacrity and immediately finds his boots and coat.  If you believe this you are more gullible than I gave you credit for….. 

Luckily he needs to collect more wood for the fire and I am a champ at helping with that so we do eventually get the buggy out and go for a good run.  I assist by foraging for logs and chunks of wood which he loads into the buggy.  However after a few forages into the pile I get a bit bored and start to investigate other scents around the area.  There is an interesting smell coming from the back of the wood pile but I am restrained from further excavation by a call on the whistle.  The wood collection is over and it’s time to go home to dinner and more sport, that is unless the Mrs has hidden the flicker and is watching  what she wants to watch for a change…….I am afraid I am on the Boss’s side – anything involving a ball holds my attention!

 

MARCH

You will notice I am holding Teddy by the arm.  This avoids any worries the Mrs might have if I hold him by the ears or the foot.  She think...
