We've been to a Book Fare!

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacSnowflake, Miss MacApril and Miss MacMay here!

We have had a funny day today, you see, The Missus has been a real pain in the tail!

Last night she was kept awake by the wind blowing the awning and making a squeaking sound. Now Holly and Old Two Legs and me just sleep through the noise, we know what it is and there is no danger, so, back to sleep!

Not TM!

She gets fed up with the noise, gets out of bed at three in the morning and proceeds to march up and down the caravan, turning on the lights, starting her computer and iPlod up, (with the sounds enabled) and then turns on the water pump so she can make an endless stream of coffee that keeps her awake until the sun comes up!

We were not happy puppies!

We were also tired puppies as well!

After OTL had finished all his chores, TM announced that she wanted to go to a Book Fare in Wigtown!

'What's a Book Fare?' we asked.

'A place where arty and clever people go!'

So that let OTL and us out for a start!

But, once TM has made up her mind we were off to Wigtown.

On the way TM said she was tired and kept on shutting her eyes, now, I don't know if it was deliberate, but, OTL did manage to find lots of bumps and pot holes in the road, which kept TM awake!

Shame!

We got there and had a mooch around but unfortunately nothing really started until three in the afternoon and didn't pick up until the evening, so, we decided to have a look at the marshes to see if there were any birds, but there were none to see!

We did however see the Martyrs Post on which many many years ago some people were drown because of their religious beliefs. OTL says that things haven't improved 'cos there are still things like that happening all over the world!

So much for religion!

The Martyrs Post
 When we got back to the path, there was an explanation of it all!




Will we ever learn?
One good thing OTL found back in the car park, fungi!

There he was, on his knees clicking away, anyone would thing he hadn't seen a fungi before!

Looking Good!
Then he found another type of fungi but this one was in a big bunch!

I've got a lovely bunch of Fungi!
After a spot of lunch in a restaurant that allowed dogs in providing they had well behaved owners. TM said that we were always well behaved, but she couldn't say that about OTL!

Back home to the caravan OTL decided to try taking out all three ferrets at the same time. Well, he actually had Miss MacMay and Miss MacApril together on a yoke and Miss MacSnowflake on a separate lead.

Then, getting onto the wide area of sand he got them all out and told them to 'Play Nicely'

Play Nicely!
Fat chance! Almost as soon as MacSnowflakes paws hit the sand she was off after the others with mayhem on her mind!

OTL had to separate her from the others several times and at one point he had to put her back in the bag!

Yeah! Keep her in there Daddy!
Then OTL had to make sure they both had equal times running on the sand, so he had to pick up the Page 3 Girls while MacSnowflake was out of the bag.

Having a cuddle with Daddy!
It was unfortunate that MacSnowflake spotted this and as soon as the girls were put onto the grass, MacSnowflake was doing the 'Highland Charge' towards them for some 'Discussions'!

Come Here! I'll teach you to stay away from my OTL!
 In the end, it was the two girls, out front, on a long lead while MacSnowflake was kept back on a shorter lead, while Holly and I came up the rear, keeping out of trouble!

OTL trying to keep the peace!
Back at the caravan we were let off our lead and told to go into the awning but as soon as we were unleashed, we shot off to chase the rabbits!

We had such a good laugh, those rabbits hadn't been chased like that for ages! We were tearing all over the place woofing and yelping and there was at least five campers trying to catch us!

Fat Chance!

In the end all the rabbits were in their burrows hiding, so Holly and I reluctantly allowed ourselves to get 'Caught' and marched off to the caravan in 'Disgrace'!

But it was such good fun!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacSnowflake, Miss MacApril and Miss MacMay.
