I've been on an adventure today. Our normal dog walk goes down the path of the old railway line but becomes very overgrown at the end. P wanted to get as far as the river so that she could catch water pokermon so we enlisted the help of Spike and Clare and Clare's machete.

We followed Clare into the undergrowth with P bringing up the rear carrying nothing more useful than a camera.

A path was cleared right to the river and Spike went in for a swim. I had hung back for a bit to keep an eye on base camp.

We rested for a while back at base camp then home for lunch. I rather enjoy adventures.

Spike, who lives next door came round to visit yesterday. He found my stuffed pheasant and rather took to him. I was not amused!!! His owner said that Spike has been known to 'kill' toys so she rescued it for me. P then hid it in the spokes of the garden umbrella, not the best of hiding places, Spike had sussed it in no time and set up retrieval offensive. P found a better hiding place and Spike returned to happily playing with his ball. Whew!

I do try to indulge P whenever it doesn't interfere with my own wishes so I have happily accompanied her on Pokermon quests of late. In all fairness we have had some really long walks that I have really enjoyed so I was prepared to accept her latest obsession......as long as it didn't take too much of her attention away from me. HOWEVER her pesky Pokermon have invaded my home, not only that, one had the temerity to sit on my sofa!!!!! Well, as you can imagine dear reader I could not put up with that and was forced to give him a severe scare.....I think.

I thought you would like to see some photos of the gang coming back from a morning walk so I got P to take some photos. Now wouldn't you think she would manage to get everyone in view at the same time? Ah well, I will put two photos up so that you can see all six of us. I love it when we all go out together. Obviously as soon as I see a camera I sit right at the front to be shown off to best advantage but I didn't mind when my best pal Spike came to sit beside me.

P and I had a very exciting day last week, we were invited on board one of the beautiful tall ships that is part of the Tall Ship Race at the end of the month. Even with her sails down (if that is the correct terminology) she was just lovely. I have to say that getting an aged P and a small dog on board wasn't easy but well worth it.

I've been rather stressed lately because P has been a bit poorly but she is much better now and we are able to do things again. We were the ace raffle team for a friend's pop-up charity shop which was great fun. I think P got a bit tired but she did well as my assistant.

What a long time it's been since I talked to you, sorry about that but my paws don't cope with the keyboard so I have to rely on P and she has not been on the ball. Now however I have some lovely OU friends that I want to keep in touch with and P has promised faithfully to keep this blog up to date so that they know what I'm doing.
Since we last met P and I have moved house and we live in a railway cottage now. There are lots of dogs near by who are my friends and we go for walks together along the old railway track and it's rather good fun to be one of the gang. I obviously need a lot of rest with all the walks and my favourite place is on the windowsill in the sunshine.
