Mist, hide and seek, and fetch at Fernilee Reservoir.

Louise has been sooooooo busy, she hasn't even had time to write all about our great great weekend. (luckily she's made time for feeding and fussing me).  Last weekend her friend Boss let her have Friday and Monday off so we got loads and loads of time together to play, and I think there must have been a shortage of buses because Dave was allowed to stay home too!  We had lots of fun walking and sleeping and eating and sleeping, but one day that was the best was when we went to the Fernilee reservoir, which is a little drive from Disley, so I got to ride in the car.  I have my own seat called Boot.

A reservoir is like a lake that people drink from, that's where the tap water comes from.  I'm lucky, as a dog I can drink straight from it.  I can drink from rivers, lakes, puddles and bowls, but not the sea because there is something funny about the water in the sea.  It was really nice there for wading (I don't swim) and the weather was something called misty.  This means that after a bit the trees turn into sky.  It's a bit confusing but Louise seemed ok with it.

Trees turning into sky - its called mist.

There was lots of long grass to jump in which was good so I could play hide and seek.  Can you see me in this picture?  Probably not, I'm very very good at this game.

Boo, there I am!

We also played another fun game, it's Dave's favourite.  It's called fetch.  He likes collecting sticks but forgets he has them so accidentally throws them away, but I bring them back for him.  He's so silly, so I run around with them for a bit to make him laugh.  He found a huge stick that day.

After all that running and wading I was pretty tired so I slept a lot.  It was a really great weekend.

Who put all the salt in the sea?

We went to the beach yesterday in Crosby, a long drive from Disley, and it was the first time I have seen the sea which was exciting.  The sea is like a huge river that is so big you can't even see the other side and the water tastes funny.  Louise says it's salt water, which is like what you put on chips so I don't know who put all the salt in the sea.  The ground is made of sand which is wet soil that you can write on which is handy as there are no pens at the sea.  Dave wrote my name for me.

Sand, dirt you can write on

 The best thing about this beach was there were loads of big statues of men which were funny.  I needed a wee but Louise said it was naughty to wee on them because it was art.  I thought art was painting so I wasn't too worried when she told me off and Dave thought it was funny.

I went in the salty water too and pretended to play fetch for Dave with stones.  I know you can't fetch stones but Dave seemed to be having fun and I didn't want to let him down especially since he got me a cone that normally has white cold stuff called ice cream in.  I was hot and the water made me cooler which was good.  I was very tired at the end of the day and so when Dave and Louise watched a film I laid on the sofa with them.  Louise said I took up a lot of space but I was just making sure that Dave got a good cuddle.
