Hop Along Holly!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret back again.

Remember the walk we had yesterday? Well, there were dried up holes in the earth made by cattle who had been dancing in the mud when it was all wet and soggy.

Now that it has all dried up, wot we got is dry, hard, dangerous holes that Holly trod in and hurt her paw!

So, yesterday afternoon she was limping around the lounge and looking sorry for herself.

She had a cuddle with Old Two Legs, which made it a bit better and then she curled up on the chair with him to watch the 'Dolly Parton' show from the Grand Ole Opery!

Well, there he was with the TV sound set on 'Mute' and the music was coming through his ear phones.

He was singing and bopping around on the chair with Holly joining in the chorus!

This morning we went for our walk and Holly had only a small limp, so, no visit to the vet for some gold tablets. Well, actually they are not made of gold, it's just the price is equal to the price of gold!

We enjoyed a snoozy morning, until lunchtime, when we headed off to the beach. We decided to go there cos OTL had a package to post and the beach walk wasn't full of holes, so, Holly won't hurt her paw any more!

You know, I reckon sniffs are better than email!
 We started off on the grass and then walked along the wall which is good for keeping our claws in trim, providing we scrape them on the concrete!

Scrape, Scrub, and just Drag a claw!
 We got to the beach and enjoyed a good dig in the sand just to take the edges off the claws and then finish up with a good roll in the beach sniffs!

Synchronised Sniff Rolling!
 The sky has a dusting of clouds that break up the blue. We will have to get up really early to catch the sunrise but I suppose that will happen around October time.

Now, don't that just look pretty?
 Holly was dragging her tail and OTL and I got a bit further down the path than Holly. Finally she caught up and trotted down the path without a sign of a limp!

Look! No limping!
Just around the corner there was a carpet of Cowslip plants waving about in the wind. The Missus reckons they are a protected plant but we have looked up on the Government web site and see that it's not mentioned at all!

A Non-protected species?
Because we got up a little later than normal, OTL woke up a little later than normal and so he missed out on his row around the office. After a lunch of salad and meat he climbed onto the machine and set about splashing his way upstream!

We, of course, fell asleep and only woke up when we heard the plates tinkle onto the desk and he set about 'Eating Healthily'!

Boring or wot?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
