A soggy start to July!!!!........so we sheltered in the copse where there were branches to rip up and deer smells to sniff. Everyone seemed happy enough with the diversion!! :D :D
Sooooooo........if you wanna know how they got sooooo mucky......here it is!! Pickle, Asher
and Brady also ened up needing shampoo and rinses but they're not in these clips.....I've already cut it down from 5 mins!!
Yes, our fav huge field is now hosting some beasts so we went round the corner and out of the 2 options, I choose the wrong one....sigh. This was the bull field but they're not present, at present, but they did leave their presence behind!!
Had a blast in our fav field......was cool enough to charge about and be silly...so we did!! All the 'dudes', Teddy, Womble, Finn and Asher, were here there and everywhere in a huddle, Harry was sufficiently motivated to break into a gallop....Harry is the ultimate 'stoic'.....hahaaaaaaaa!! Everybody was rockin' and rollin'.....as you'll see :D :D
Bit hot today eh!!? Not just warm...actual HOT! So......the only water around...well, eys, Nala was in there and emerged like some weird beast from the earth...she was the same colour as the earth so it was kinda hard to tell. :D Had to laugh when Teddy went charging off to chase Esto and almost disappeared into the long grass...talking of which, check out Harry in the last clip....now you see him, now you don't...also doing his best meerkat!! :D :D
I would say....'and they're off'......but it was a bit warm so it was more.....'let's stroll'.....barring the odd gallop! Instead we searched for water and found the smallest puddle that everyone tried to get into....hahaaaaaa! Somehow Brady always manages to get damp, wet, muddy etc when everyone else is dry!?!? Had to smile at everyone walking in the tractor tracks....at times it looked like a school outing :D :D
In our fav field....what more is there to say!!! Hahahaaa! Lots of romping, lots of rolling, lots of chasing and hi jinks!! An action packed outing! Asher nearly floored Nala when he 'tired to engage with her in play'.....more like a bulldozer and she wasn't impressed! Womble was flying about everywhere, mostly with Teddy and Finn. Everybody needed munch to fuel their fun!! :D :D
Hahahaaaa......loadsa fun romping around in the long grass!! Lots of 'fleein' aboot boy stuff' from Teddy, Womble, Asher, Alfie2, Esto and Tatu and Nala managed a gallop or two :D
Another fine romp in the sun and the long grass. Just nice to be able to relax into the walk and enjoy the warmth. No water and hardly any mud so no shampoo and rinses :D Yaaaaay!! :)
Long viddeo today as we had soooooo much fun now the grass is cut!! It was 'Wooooooo!' all over the place but there's ony so much you can put in one video! We were lucky too as there was a heavy shower as we arrived but it stopped as soon as we got out and then as soon as we finished up, the rain came on again :D :D
There was lots of rolling and getting into the smells that have been hidden and then there was the muddy bit with the really long grass which was a bit like a jungle and that was great fun.....but you can't see much!! Hahahaaaaaa!
Seems like the short grass has turned into medium grass.....for the moment!! Spare a thought for the teenies! One thing that was missing which is usually plentiful here was...water! The tractor tyre puddles were mostly mud and the burn was totally dry...we walked the burn bed! Even the swamp looked dry and pups were walking right through the middle of it. Brady did manage to find the only significantly wet muddy spot......funny that! :D
Today was mostly the Asher, Womble and Brady show with Teddy and Finn as supporting cast! :D Asher is fascinated by Womble and is bringing out all the moves he can muster to instigate play. Womble loves them all!! Hahahaaaaa!
Dougie thought the grass was greener in the other field but I couldn't see any difference! Everybody was charging about having a fab time so, of course, he had to have a munch!! :D :D
Loadsa sunshine these days!!....so we had to come where there was water.......yes......muddy water!! There is a burn with clean water but nobody ever seems to go there! Asher was in his element again....must be an Aquarian...hahahaaa...and Roux was wading around like she was going to lie down and wallow if she found 'the right spot'. Bonnie nearly dragged me in again! They were cool in the shade until the next muddy bit came along! Slush puppies a'rite!! :D
Is anybody there....??? Hahahaaaaa! The long grass is full of pups but you can't see them! :D Everybody expended a load of energy bouncing up and down so they could see each other......when they weren't forming a queue behind me that is! However you can always spot Marshall....pun intended :D......! We tried to find the shorter grass where we could but it was tricky and Arnie demonstrates just how so in the last clip. 😁😁
Everybody was wide awake today and setting a crackin' pace.....until they found the mud pool...hahahaaa!!...then it all slowed down! So there was a splishy splashy thing going on; Teddy even took his stick in with him! :D Bonnie dragged me over as there was NO way she was going to miss out on a plouter! Dougie did that magic trick of changing colour before 'your very eyes' 🤣😂 It seemed as soon as one or two left the water another one or two would take their place! Eventually we moved on and rounded it all off with a munch...as we like to do! :D
Sleep walking pups today .....hahahaaaaa......was warm and they've been sooo accustomed to chilly days this balmy warmth put them in slo-mo!!.......even Teddy and his teeny stick were restrained!! :D Some rolling and some got a bit stinky so shampoo and rinses!
Short grass day again otherwise the shorter legs would have needed snorkels!! Lots of bounce around....Womble and Finn had a bouncy run around and Marshall and Brady had a bouncy jump around.....theirs had more vertical lift....hahahaaaa!! Teddy was beside himself when he found a branch.....just look how pleased he was!! Womble noticed and then went into 'branch acquisition' mode! Asher was trying to engage Womble in play but Womble only had eyes for the branch! Not sure what Roux thought she would do but she's always attracted to a stick!! :D
Another meander where we haven't been for a while so lots of exploring and then Dougie found the mud bath!! Of course Asher had to join in and Nala.....and Terddy!! We didn't have time today for shampoo and rinse!!....and the mud was waaayy too wet to just dry and fall off.....of course!!! Everybody had a gallop about and Nala and Asher managed a wee chase :D
Today we went where the grass was shorter but not greener!....and it was a very warm day too! Lots of tongues lolling out and a sedate amble was achieved.......except when Suzie decided she was going back to the car...and the pace quickened.....and then quickened again!!! I won and Suzie went on a lead! I think some thought it was a new game but Suzie wasn't one!! We resumed our more sedate pace and sniffed around as we haven't been here for a while.
Out on the backlot again romping around in the gorse with all the lovely scents contained therein! :D A great sunny and dry day so there was no need to shampoo and rinse anyone :D After all the romping around it was time for a well earned rest in the shade on our return journey :D
Suddenly the grass is waayyy high and some of the pups are waayy low!! :D Very high energy romp and we didn't lose anyone in the peat bog even although it's really hard to see them in there! Young Womble the collie was flexing his collieness and what started as play with Brady turned into trying to 'round him up'...so Brady turned his attention elsewhere. The young boys all galloped off in a tussle then we meandered back...tired and happy!! :D
