Missed opportunities

Mudds is suffering from the heat, as are all of us.
A few more cysts have appeared on his skin and he has damaged his skin on his back which isn't healing.

we shouldn't be here to write this as we should be at the 25th anniversary of the British Chesapeake Bay Retriever Club's celebration weekend. we wish all that attend have a really good time and wish we were there too.

Its a real shame but Muddy is not fit enough and I have know one that could look after him as Jean is very busy at work.

All excited now with the news Lewis Hamilton is on pole for the Canadian Grand Prix, cross fingers and hopefully he wont miss his opportunity!

I managed to get out for an hour this morning to walk Alf as Jean has to work and is exhausted, so i took the opportunity to get some air and help her out. What a difference, Alf spends ages sniffing one spot i kept looking round to find him a hundred yards back slowly sniffing every blade of grass en route. He is a perky chap even though he has an injured a toe. He swam for a good twenty five minutes chasing sinking biscuits. We met a few dogs trying to walk before it got hot just like us. One Border Collie we met managed to deliver a precise blow to a VERY sensitive spot.... and when i managed to stand upright again he jumped up and grabbed my beard aaaawwwwww.

Having owned border collies i have every sympathy for the poor owner of this hyperactive ball of disobedient two year old dog, but this dog was friendly, very, very friendly. If i didnt fuss him i think he may have exploded. When he was done with me he dashed of to check the local rabbit holes totally oblivious to the call from his owner.

One happy dog.
