Scholars Green to bottom of Bosley Locks

01/09/2017 Douglas 8 Comments

Well before I tell you about today I will tell you I was in trouble last evening. My bearded one and his friend Mike went to visit a house called The Bleeding Wolf! Where Mr Marston lives, before supper. I stayed with my long haired one whilst she did some drawing. After about five minutes of this I got bored and went to look to join the boys! I had clocked the way they had gone and using my nose, I followed, up onto a bridge, down an alley, onto a road and I saw them, they hadn’t reached the Bleeding Wolf – I was so happy to find them (I am a shepherd dog, that is what I am meant to do) but they did not seem to be at all pleased to see me and I was taken back to my long kennel, my long haired one was also cross with me but I can’t help it, I need to round up my family. Never mind, I still love them and they still love me.

Now today it was a lovely sunny morning and I got my bearded one up for his walk with the tongue in the ear trick at 07:00 – I like the reaction this gets and the earlier it is the better it is.

We had a short cruise to Congleton after breakfast, this took just over an hour. We moored up my long kennel and went into town. I was walked off my two pairs of feet they obviously like charity shops and cafes. We visited most of them and they seemed to enjoy all sorts of comestibles at pavement tables, I meanwhile remained at pavement level because I am a dog I am not allowed into so many places.

Having exhausted me and their desire for retail roaming, we returned to my long kennel and set off on the second part of our journey today to a lovely rural spot just below the flight of Bosley locks. 12 of them, a rise of 110 feet. A treat for us all tomorrow morning.

I think they might be getting their paints out this evening if the rain stays away. It has been dry today but there are some dark clouds about. My photo today is me and my long haired one at our mooring I am resting with my toys.

Love Douglas x

    Naughty Douglas. Have we not taught you how to conduct a risk assessment? It seems that you have put yourself at risk far too many times recently mixing it up with trains and roads. You need to suppress your instinct to find hamburgers and round your family up and think more about staying in one piece. We have knocked up the attached infographic to help you. See if you can get it printed and stick it on your bedroom wall.

    Love Bumble and Trooper

    PS Train, cars and burger not to scale

    Yes – we warned you about the dangers of rounding up your wayward ones – roads, rivers, trains and tunnels – if they are not sleeping it off then they are putting it on getting waylaid along those wayside houses ! Here is a picture where they have finished the putting on part and getting strength for the next stage ………….

    Thank you for the new additional images. I will try to be a good boy but there are hundreds nay thousands of dog years of training and careful selective nurturing behind and before me to develop the fine specimen of me that you now observe. My Darwinian inheritance indicates quite clearly that I am a chosen one for my good looks, shepherding skills and intelligence and organizational skills, squirrel hunting ability to name just seven obvious attributes that I have built on and have honed to such perfection. (I still intend to catch a squirrel).

    Dear Douglas,

    Will you be careful! Being hit by a train or a car would really not be very pleasant.

    I like to herd too. I went for a swim with my long short and medium haired ones in the sea today and it was such fun. Although I did feel the need to herd them as they are not as good swimmers as me. My short haired hairy one and my medium haired one kept pushing me away when I went to rescue them and mentioned that my claws should be removed to prevent me lacarating them! How rude! If I were you Douglas, I’d jump into the canal and swim for sausages! Xxxx

      Looks too clean for us. We prefer a dirty pond. A pic of all of us last weekend attached
