Update

A few busy days here with Dad back at work and the old gang of Mum, Murphy and Me spending our days together.  Dad is home quite early (before 6pm some days) so I am looking forward to the lighter and warmer evenings when we will be able to go out after dinner.

Last weekend Tigger had a sleep over at Nana's house.  It was just for one night which I think he enjoyed - probably got way more biscuits and sweeties than he does at home!

On Sunday we went to collect him and took him for a walk around our village.  He was really interested in the sheep, rabbits and ducks we saw as I don't think he sees many in Huddersfield.

On Tuesday we met with Aunty Debbie, Fergus and Lola for a walk.  Dery was there too but had some training rather than fun with us!  She is getting ready for her first test at Worcester next weekend.
I went there when I was her age.  I am sure she will be loads better than I was - I ran off from Mum, found Dad and posed beautifully for a photo in the middle of my test!  Here I am... it was very wet and muddy.

Yesterday we went to Thoresby for our walk.  Well,  Mum told us that's where we were, but it was so foggy we couldn't see the hall or anything.  Walking alongside the lake we were dive-bombed by a swan who clearly hadn't seen us as he took off.  Loads of great smells to investigate in the fog and I definitely heard a pheasant (saw him last week) and a woodpecker.

We had a walk around the lanes by the village today and had a big surprise walking past one garden to find a pony in residence.  I think Mum is disappointed that our garden isn't big enough for one! I don't think Dad is.

We watched some of Crufts yesterday afternoon.  Those chaps that do the flyball are so fast!  Really pleased to see Ben and his handler Dylan Thomas win the Gamekeeper's Competition.
