My bearded one’s daughter, husband and their two young ones arrived late last night after a five hour journey from their home in Kent. It was lovely to see them again but I was disappointed not to see my ginger friend Basil, a fine member of the Labrador tribe.
After much excitement shoe horning everyone into their various beds, (I did not offer mine to anyone) we all had a peaceful night and awoke early ready for an adventure. First thing, I had to take my bearded one and his granddaughter Poppy for their early morning walk, Poppy was still wearing her pajamas. One of my pictures is me getting an early morning cuddle from Poppy.
We all had a hearty breakfast and were ready for off on a gentle cruise towards Great Haywood, our target for today. It was very pretty and I walked a lot of it. We stopped at lunch time at a delightful place called Weston on Trent. The Woolpack beckoned, Mr Marston lived there we stayed quite a while they all seemed thirsty.
At last we arrived at Great Haywood, one of my favourite places. I took my family for a walk in Shugborough Hall grounds where I know there are lots of squirrels I got so excited and unfortunately I took a short cut over a mossy field in hot pursuit – it was actually a lake covered in a green algae I went for an involuntary swim. It was quite a surprise I tell you.
My long haired one rescued me and gave me a rub down my other picture today is after my rub down – very embarrassing.
Love Douglas x
An easy mistake to make, Douglas. Attached is a pic of a friend of ours after thinking the beautiful flat green surface was grass.
Our controller told us that this happened to one of your ancestors, Pisheka. Your Bearded one should be able to remember the story.
Sorry to hear that Cousin Basil is not with you. Send our love to your Bearded and Long Haired one’s family.
Love Bumble and Trooper

Wonderful I think green is beautiful. Yes I have heard about Pishika I thought then how silly to do that but I guess it happens even to smart dogs. X
I don’t believe it!!!!
A green dog! Is it really you Douglas? I do think you should ask to have your lead put on more often you are getting into too many scrapes and you are not a cat. It must be very nice for you to have your young friends for company, I think they will play lots of football with you. Have lots of fun but please take care, missing you, xxx
Just wondering. Did you stink?
Watch out ‘bruv – weird things are said to go on at that Shug kennel place – little green dogs and other mysteries – our captain says he has heard some strange tails and no doubt you found the ‘Shepherd’s Monument’ so appropriate to one of our kind………..there is a mystery inscription which a merican school teacher has deciphered that says, ‘all dogs love bones’ ………
