Lazin' around

For a springer, I'm pretty laid back really! I mean... how many dogs like me do you know that would just lie down in the middle of a room and catch a few extra winks of sleep?

Walkies

We had a rather muddy meander through the woods today. The action shot's didn't come out.... you know the kind of thing... jumping, running, swimming. Anyway, I thought I'd stay still for long enough to get a portrait (only just long enough).

Chilling out surfing

You just can't beat it! Cuddled up to Mum, surfing the web - I just love it. Doesn't really happen until the wee'yun gets to bed though.


Still, I can live with that.

While Dad's away

Well, Dad's away and its all a bit strange! I'm not saying that I don't enjoy the company of Mum and the wee fella, but its a bit odd having a little less discipline around the house.

I got to do all sort of things that wouldn't usually be allowed - including the obligatory "sit-on-the-knee". To be honest, Auntie Nic, isn't all that good at saying NO to cuddles!

My holiday

Mum and Dad took Nathan off to see some of their friends in Northern Ireland, so I had my own special holiday. I went to Granny and Grandad's for some special treatment and just to put the icing on the cake, Nic came round every day and took me for a walk in the Hermitage.

In fact, on Thursday, we walked all the way from one side of the Hermitage to the other, up the hill and then all the way back. Must admit that I was ready for collapsing when I got back.

The holiday was over nearly as quickly as it began - I'm back to normal sized meal portions and slightly less attention.

The Almondell

We all went on a lovely walk to the Almondell this afternoon. It's the first time I've been there in ages! We had to go on a modified route because of Nathan's buggy, which meant we were by the water most of the time. I got so excited that I spent most of my time running in the water where it was too shallow to swim.

We stopped at our usual spot and Dad through lots of sticks for me to swim and catch. I was getting really good at it and by the end I had 3 sticks in my mouth! Mum then took me to the other side of the river so I could swim across it. I just love swimming :o)


They forgot to take the camera out of the car so there are no action photos of me, just one when we got home with me looking a bit wet and bedraggled - I can't wait to go back there.

Cuddles with Laura

Laura came round last night... I think she really came to see Nathan, but I don't mind. With all the extra visitors we get these days, I usually get some attention.


There was however some misunderstanding... she tapped her leg and called my name - I obliged by jumping on her lap.


I don't think that she was expecting my spring-like tendencies and collapsed back into the sofa.


In retrospect, I was lucky to get away with it! Everybody laughed and Nathan's giggling took the heat from the situation.
