Big Walkie day!
Well, I’m not sure what I’ve done to deserve this but today it was a BIG walk day! P says it’s because I’m over my little operation, so I can finally go on a longish walk.
We set off from home with a bit of lead walking along the road. I was just so excited, but I’m still not sure walking along the road. P says I need more practice. After a bit of howling outside a small café just outside the Plantation Gate entrance to Haigh Hall, P got himself a drink and I was then able to slip the lead and run free in the grounds of the Hall.
It didn’t take me long to go dipping in the stream. Well, it was getting warm and a pup needs to cool his paws off and have a drink of some cold stream water. Further into the walk I trudged through some mud, hmm nice. P did shout though, but I ignored him. I felt my fur needed some doggy conditioning so I had a nice roll in something smelly and rank (well that’s what P thought of it).
After a bit of stick chasing and carrying we arrived at the Haigh Hall end of our walk and rested for a little while. P had his drink and I went to look at a nice man who was very well dressed in his white shirt and lovely red tie, who had popped out from the Hall for a little break. P did shout when I went over to say hello and give him a big muddy snuff! P was mortified that I’d left my mark, a big muddy print on his tie – I thought it looked better and the man was totally chill about it. P told me off and apologised to the nice man who patted me, so guess it was alright then. P was not amused with me for a little while.
We set off back home after our little break and while P was busy chatting to another doggy owner I spotted my opportunity to ‘mug’ a little boy out with his dad for his stick. Well he was waving it around and I thought he wanted to play. P chased after me in order to get the stick back as the little boy was a bit upset. After another apology P was getting a little ‘annoyed’ you could say, so best behaviour was now in order.
We came across a nice group of disabled young adults from Warrington who wanted to make a fuss over me. I sat nicely while P told them all about me; I did feel proud getting fussed over. Some of them were a bit scared but when they saw how friendly I am they soon came and petted me as well. Some new friends made there I think. It is nice to return peoples kindness. I licked a few to mark them so I will recognise them again.
Phew! A two and half hour walk, I was completely knackered when I got home. It was a busy walk as well with new people and road walking as well on a lead. P put his feet up and I curled up in my basket.
Maybe more adventures soon, lick ya later!
