On Holiday

I haven't posted for a while, I've really enjoyed my 3rd birthday, the snow over the past week now I am on holiday with Netti

Dancing Dogs on Ice

It has been a cold December and quite icy on my walks around Moulden Hill lake but then I read a daft Labrador (or is daft daft Labrador owners) allowed the silly bitch to skate on thin ice.

Which then caused a costly rescue for which they should be billed.  

I went ice skating fairly safely on the lake and other iced up areas.

So I couldn't believe it when I read the this just a few days later from one of my cousins owners allowing a Lakeland off a lead!!

New mate!

Today out on the walk I came across two new things.

Someone is trying to move the lake across the footpaths.  

Then as you can see I was listening out for something coming around the corner. I thought it was a squirrel or a large bird but to m

y mega surprise it was something much bigger.

I tried warning this beast off but it just kept on coming I just had to give way in the end.

Bring on the foxes

I have warmed up my catching skills over the last few weeks by a bit of spider & moth catching, but last night a mouse dared to enter my bedroom (i.e. the kitchen) well he didn't last long. How proud of this catch was I, leaving it in the middle of the floor for master to clear up!  I can't seem to catch the cats or squirrels as they cheat using their climbing skills.  

Watch out birds, ducks or foxes I am out for a big kill. 

 

Runaway

My daft old master was in a rush to go out and watch Jordan play for Liden U10's who had an early morning kick off, so we went just to the local newspaper shop. When we reached the footpath to Woodhall I was suddenly free and just ran and ran till I reached the field near the brook. In his haste the master had clipped the lead onto the lightweight loop, not the solid loop on my collar but my name tag which stretched and broke. So there I was having a great time running free round and round the bushes etc. Before going out normally there is big routine poop bags, keys ipod phone sometimes the camera, but today he was stranded in a panic, no mobile, no one around and me just running free.

I enjoyed the game I was having running up close, but not close enough to be caught, then round and round at pace hiding behind the bushes/trees. I then became a bit tired and made for a garden, a bit lucky for the old man, as this was one of very few gardens around there with a fence and open gate, I had trapped myself, GAME OVER.

Autumn Update

I haven't written for a while it has been a mixed autumn, sunny at the start now very cold & wet. Here are a couple of pictures. One of the Canada geese that I have seen grow up this summer, the second is me with Zoe.
