Birthday Walkies

I didn't mention the very lovely card I received from Molly and Taffy on my last post. Sorry you too. Ma had to put the card out of reach of a certain someone and their teeth. We'll take a photo as it's a rather delightful Airedale card.

And the birthday fun goes on! We went to a new place for a walk on my birthday. It's a place called Moulden Hill. It's not too far away, but for some reason ma and pa say they never think to try it out.

There was a big lake with quite a few fishermen trying their luck. Neither of us fancied a dip though, bit too chilly, brr!




It is very pretty though, and I imagine in the summer it might be a nice place to come for a dip. We did see a couple of brave dogs having a splash.



You can see the little jetty's where the fishermen can while the day away. I wonder what fish live in the pond?

There were a few swans on the water. Jolly beautiful they may be, but they can also be extremely mean, so I was awfully glad that they kept their distance.

Look what that minx of a sister found - a big pile of horse poop!

She wasted no time in tucking in to her newly discovered snack. Ma and pa didn't want any kisses from her after that, har har!

As I am now pretty darned perfect off lead, and Cassidy is already Miss Goody Two Shoes about coming back when called, we were free to wander. And don't be too fooled by the sunshine on these photos, it was still frightfully chilly.

Cassidy did lots of puppy zoomies, whilst I preferred to meander around whilst having a good sniff about.

She looks pretty happy doesn't she? She wanted pa to play fetch with her but we had forgotten to bring a ball out. She's a fetch-a-holic my sister.

More running around. Yes, my ears do look even crazier than normal, but at least they have an excuse when I'm running. I may be eleven, but Cassidy can't go that much faster than me.

We headed away from the pond and onto the fields. We had the whole place to ourselves, and while it would have been nice to have made a few new friends, it was nice to be master of all I surveyed.

Look at all that field to run in! There were so many great smells, and I do so enjoy being able to run around free with the wind in my hair (what's left of it after my Airecut).

Cassidy could hear rustling in the undergrowth, but we didn't find any bunnies.

And because I am the birthday boy after all, here are some more photos of me! Despite this being the end of a long walk across hilly fields, I'm still ready and raring for more.

In the words of Cassidy, I be running, whee! Do you see my tongue hanging out?

I went to see if this water was any good for a drink, but alas it was rather yucky. Yes, I know - crazy ears again!

A view back across the pond. As you can see, we weren't that far from civilization even though it felt like it. And we parked in a pub car park, so we thought it only polite and proper that we went and had a drink in the beer garden in return for parking there!
