Off we went to Clumber this morning for a walk and what an interesting time both Murphy and I had. Firstly Murphy did what us Springer Spaniels are meant to do when we work and flushed out a pheasant. As usual, our Murphy did the job in his own way and trod on the bird. Mum says she doesn't know who was more surprised the pheasant or Murphy - he certainly seemed a bit stunned to me as he watched the bird fly away across the field.
I had my own bit of fun later when I decided to investigate the ground underneath one of the big trees on Limetree Avenue. Now I always think to investigate properly you need to have a good dig ...
... but it's quite a tiring occupation and sadly this time I didn't find anything interesting.
Oh well, back to the car for a well earned drink.
