Spectacular Bigshake!

Wowwee!! Even better than exploring the gardens here at this humankennelblock: We went for a super hike up the reeeeeeaallly steep hill! It was a fabtabulous freerun! Loads and loads of sniffings and weemails to exchange and grass to munch all the way (essential fuel for the journey!). We met some of our humanpals at the top and we all had to pose for a one-eyed-clickybox. That is the photo shown.

I found a fair few pooch pals to play with on the way up, at the top, and on the way back down again! The bestest one was a boxer puppy who left great globs of slobber dotted all over me. I would have been quite happy to wear his offerings but it seems Mum was less keen; I got a froth attack in the warmrainbox when we got back. It was a nice massage and I did succeed in a rather spectacular bigshake afterwards! Mum seemed to spend ages stroking the walls, floor, and humanspendingbowl. Apparently that is not supposed to be hairy! Heehee!

Stop this Tippetytappetying!

Wheeliebags packed. My bed packed. My food packed (most important!). Floatyboatyhome all locked up in its cage. 'Let's go find the train' says Mum. Ooh how exciting!! Mum didn't need to give me any further instructions. I led the way straight to the station. 'Smartybum' was the compliment I got! Well, I can accept that - especially when it comes with a nice ear rub and a yummy!

Three different trains, four stations, then a long workywalkies up some superpuffy steep hills (we were all puffing and slow by the end!), and we are in a humankennelblock! We've been here before. I remembered it from a way down the road and that made my paws work a bit faster for that last bit of the walk! Mum says it is called the Elim Bible College Conference Centre in a place called Great Malvern. I call it wonderful! It has familiar humanpals here with us. I get to relax in the big lounge room with all of them and I can even choose whose back paws to lie on! The bestest bit though, is that it has the biggest garden ever! Mummy says we will go explore it tomorrow!

So, if I stop this tippetytappetying now and go sleep, tomorrow will come sooner so I can go on that big explore.......

Fun... for a while!

Wide open space.

Puppy playpals.

Al fresco grooming.

Long dark scary tubes.

Locks.

Snooze cruise.

and back to an old home again.

The day started with a fantabulous freerun exploring a new part of our big 'garden' at BumbleHole Nature Reserve. Oodles of wide open space to run and romp and sniff and play. I found a super tumble-buddy in the form of a young puppy called Ruby. She is an American Bulldog crossed with several unknowns. She was great fun for a little while of playtime!

When we got back to floatyboatyhome, Mum got me to 'hup' onto a bench seat and she launched a serious groom-attack on me. She said the featherballs will benefit from the 'half a dog' that she removed from my coat.

We then went for a cruise. Most of it was lovely - just snooze-cruising on the back deck, but then floatyboatyhome got swallowed up into a long dark scary tube. I don't like these (Mum is not keen either). I found safety under the table and only ventured back out when it got light again outside! This happened THREE times! Ugh!

Nine locks to work, and a workywalkies along the towpath helped to make Mum and me both to recover. The flight of six locks at the end of our journey took longer than normal and involved a lot of to-ing and fro-ing and lots and lots of Mum's windy-uppy-windy-downy stuff with that strange bent stick thing she uses. There was a lot of water gushing and rushing down too. When we arrived there was just bare mud in between the locks. All of this gushing and rushing and windy-upping seemed to fill up the big mudbaths with water so Daddy could chug floatyboatyhome up to the top.

During all of this, I found another puppy to play with; this time a bouncy border collie. We could only do a bit of bouncy play though as he was on lead. It is always good to meet and greet a pup though!

Now floatyboatyhome is back where we were a week or so ago. The place with the bouncy floor outside. While Mummy was doing her usual domesticals (stroking the floor etc), I took Daddy to fetch a parcel. He did something really weird: He started to run! Not a fast run, but it was so unexpected! It was fun though.....for a while.....but....I was a tad tired.......I managed to disuade him from running for too long!

Now it seems that my cozy bed has grabbed me and is holding me down.....and won't let go......zzzzzzzzz

Extra Hard Tail Wags!

Training! I am training Mummy! I like it! Only a week and a bit to go before we go do our Tenkay. Today we did 5.89km today and it was all hilly and made Mummy very huffypuffy. She says the Tenkay won't be hilly so it should be easier, so that makes today good training. She say that the collar around her front paw says that we climbed the equivalent of 65 floors of upsteps today!

I don't get why that is such an issue! Maybe it is the 2paws versus 4 paws thing again. I had no problem doing it!

If anyone still would like to donate some shinydisks to help us to sponsor a puppy to be trained to be a Guide Dog like me then please just click on the link here! I will love you and it will make my tail wag extra hard!

Goofing Good Company!

Long missed humanpals! Visitors! Yayyyyyyy! It has been a very happy waggy day.

I took Daddy walkies this morning while Mummy was doing her 'tidying up' thing and some choppy-stirry-sizzly stuff. Daddy was supposed to be getting some rolls in something but he didn't roll in anything - we just went to a shop and he bought some packs of squishy rocks! Oh well, it was a walkies anyway.

Shortly after we got back my tail went berserk! Four human visitors arrived. Clinton and Jo and minihumans-that-are-not-mini-anymore Josh and Emma! Ooooh! it was soo good to welcome them aboard our floatyboatyhome. Even better - they stayed all day and we got to go working locks together!

I got my dinner in a picnic box in a human yummyery too! That came when I did today's workywalkies - I guided Mum and the others all tagged along too.

Sadly they have gone now but I have had some great fun - just mainly goofing about but with great human company! Goofing is much better with good company!

Right Front Paw.

Mummy you is so silly! Why use that daft little shiny stick thing? Just lower that bowl a bit and I will show you the proper way to eat those long worms.

Photo shows me lying alongside Mum's blue legs with my chin resting towards her tummy. I am carefully watching every movement of her right front paw that is holding a fork over a bowl of spaghetti bolognese.

Freeruns Galore!!!

My bed has been clinging tight to me today! Mummy says it is because I am getting a bit older and can't keep up with the pups anymore. Huff! How rude is that?

I suppose I did slow down a bit on the zoomies yesterday, after a while, for a bit, until the next one....and the next....and another.......zzzzzzzzz.....well...I can still dream about all that fun can't I?

I did wake up enough to take Mummy workywalkies to a very full up church this morning. It was loud in there! The twang twangs and boom booms and humanhowlings were super big! It was all OK though - comfy carpet under Mummy's seat made it all good! And loads of fusses and admirations too!

This mooring means freeruns before and after every workywalkies too - so that makes ANY workywalkies duties worth doing!

Mummy says we have just two weeks to go before we do our tenkay. She says that means more training is needed. I like the sound of that. If you would still like to support us then please click on this link. All the shinydisks we raise will go towards training another puppy to do workywalkies like me! I'm sure she mentioned something about a carrot for every shinydisk we raise..... well.... I can dream that she promised that can't I?
