Beastie!

OOOOWWWWW!!!!

There I was happily trotting along with Mummy and my paw suddenly did a nasty ouch. With a bit of a yelp, I did a quick hop-skip-jump and gave my back left paw a big shake but there was a yellow & black stripey buzzy beastie on it. Mummy came to my rescue and flicked off the beastie but my paw was mega-ouchie! This all cut short our walkies because my paw didn't want to work properly after that. Daddy stopped floatyboatyhome and picked us up.

Mummy gave me a blob of yumminess. Daddy said 'Oi! That's my pattay!'. Mummy said it had Auntie Hiss Tameen in it. Well, I have no idea what any of that means but I think I rather like Daddy's Auntie's Hiss Tameen pattay! Mummy says it should help to make my paw better and to stop it getting all fat.

All that came after a day of lots of bits of towpath toddles workywalkies, cruising and lock workings. Up to that point, it was all nice and relaxed and good. At one of the locks, I met one of my fans; Ann Johnson. It is always nice to meet fans and Anne had lots of other blue-topped humancolleages with her, so I got some delectable ear rubs!

This evening we went out - along the towpath and up lots of steps to a human yummyery. Mummy said I had to be a good ambassador for Guide Dogs because we were there to meet with the people who own the pub. Well, I am not sure how to be an ambassador but I think I managed to be a good hoover! I dutifully removed an abandoned morsel from under the sofa! Job done! Actually, what I really had to do was simply to lie down in the corner beside Mummy while lots and lots of munching and yackety yacking went on. Oh.....and I had to soak up some admirations too - from a minihuman called Imogen and her mummy, and from Maddie and Mike, the owners. It is a tough job but it has to be done!

Fusses and admirations from Imogen who sat on the floor next to me in the Bridge Inn, Brewood.
