We often go for our walks by the river.
Each trip is an adventure and I enjoy going out so much.
It is all so exciting and there is so much going on that the journey is always very noisy.
Sometimes I can’t hear anything over all the barking I’m doing.
There are always lots of things to bark at !!
Mark came with us this morning, but luckily he forgot his camera so I didn’t have to worry about whether I still had paint on my ear.
A while ago I had a close encounter with a newly painted door and set new standards in doggy fashion by sporting a painted ear.
But I’m not sure if it has all come off yet or not.
Mark came with us a few weeks ago , when I got so excited by passing traffic that I started to eat the car. Sadly, Helen has replaced all the trim panels now, so you can’t see my great creative achievement, but believe you me, there were chunks of door and side panels with great bites out of them everywhere.
Now I have to travel in a cage so that other car drivers don’t crash into us whilst watching me. I ate my way out of the mesh cage, so now I have to travel in a sky cage.
But I can still see lots of things to bark at through the door and I know that there are lots of other things to bark at even though I can’t see them, so I bark anyway, just to be sure I’ve not missed any!
For a while I was unsure about the river because it was A Very Strange Thing.
Sometimes it seemed to eat Rocco, Mutley and Spike.
Mutley is my hero, so I barked at it.
But they were always alright afterwards, just completely soaked, and yet they didn’t seem to mind.
It was Very Strange, so I always used to stand on the edge and bark at them for being so silly as to go in and get wet.
Now I love swimming and am determined to become the Best Swimmer Ever.
Sometimes other dogs come on our walks, like Harley and Sadie did today, and they just stand at the edge, barking.
They are very silly not to come in and swim.
