What a lovely surprise Murphy and I had yesterday.
About mid morning, just when I was beginning to wonder when we would be going out for our walk, Auntie Debbie arrived at the front door. We hadn't seen her for ages, so gave her a big and noisy welcome and got lots of fuss in return. After she had a cup of tea we got an even bigger surprise when we went outside and out of her car popped Fergus, Duggie and Dougal! They had all come to go for a walk with us.
We took them on the walk we did on Saturday across the fields which they all seemed to enjoy. Dougal flushed a bird and did some hunting in the hedges - he'll be going to his first proper shooting day soon, so it was all good experience for him.
At the end of our walk we headed home back through the village for a big drink, a biscuit and a lie down. Never ones to miss an opportunity for lunch and an ice cream, Mum and Auntie Debbie then headed off to a favourite place near us to satisfy their appetites!
We had a lovely day - sunshine and the best of friends for company. What more could I ask for??
