My weekend.

The weather's not been to bad this weekend. Not exactly what you would call summer but at least it has been dry.

I've enjoyed this weekend Dad got me ready for my walk than he put my car harness on me to keep me safe on the back seat. Which usually means one of three things I'm either going to the vets but my vaccinations aren't due or I'm poorly so i ruled that one out, I'm going to dog training but it wasn't Tuesday or I'm going for a nice drive away from my usual territory, luckily for me it was the later.

As i was looking out of the car window i didn't know were we were going until we pulled into the pet shop car park. I like going to the pet shop my nose goes into overdrive with all the smells, I'm like a kid in a sweet shop, most people compare to being more like a bull in a china shop though. I found this nice juicy bone on the shelf with my name on it, i thought it had been left especially for me, so i picked it up in my mouth to see if it was fresh, well the staff test the fruit and veg out at the supermarket to see if there fresh so why should it be different for me. I think Dad was to embarrassed to take it of me and put it back on the shelf after i had drooled all over it so he ended up buying it for me, I've stored that little trick in my memory bank to use again.

Than it was back in the car, i thought he had lost the plot on the way home when we started going the wrong way, but i was wrong we went to the Botanic gardens where i could stretch my legs.

Dad likes looking at the plants here. I'm sure he's hoping i will dig some up for him, but I'm far to polite for that behaviour, well at least when I'm out i am at home it's a different story.

Peacock



Than we had a look at the peacock.

Lake at Botanic Gardens.

Than we had a walk around the lake.

It was a lovely walk especially with being off lead. There was lots of other dogs out  for there walks as well which was great plenty of bums for me to sniff, if Dad got up to half the things i do he would be arrested or get a black eye off some one. 

Than on the way back to the car just as my Dad was praising me for keeping clean it all went horribly wrong, it was at this point he was probably thinking i wish i had kept her on the lead. The good or bad thing about all the rain we've had depending on which way you look at it meant everywhere was waterlogged. I spotted puddles in the distance so i was off and running it wasn't until i ran into it i realised it was mud.

Oops i didn't realise it was that dirty. I'm sure i must have some Hippopotamus in me.

Playing in the mud
They say where there's muck there's money, it wasn't true in this case, just a horrible smell and boy did that stuff smell. Smelly water seems to attract me like a magnet.

After a good clean. It was time for a good scratch and a lie down.

  1. Ohhhh Sheba you silly girl!!!!!!!!!!

    You looked so silly running over to the mud and then standing in it like a little piggy! (you do NOT resemble a pig, it is just that pigs like mud! lol)

    Your botanical garden is just beautiful!
    My brother Dakota LOVED your trick at the pet shop of slobbering on the bone and then your Dad had to buy it! Smart dog! Dakota said he is going to try that one himself!

    Have a great day! Tell Cody hi!
    Love, Cody and Dakota

  7. Hi there Sheba, PBU sent us over. Nice to meet you. We don't live too far away to the west of you. Which Botanic gardens was that? We sometimes go to Bodnant along the coast and also there is Treborth which is local to us.

    1. Hi Milo you would love it we could have fun together if you came. I don't think your Mum would be impressed with all the mud though.

      Humans don't know how to have fun, what's wrong with a good play in the mud.

    2. Hmmm she wouldn't! Especially since i make bath time super hard by running away!
      But still i'd love to play in the mud with you!

      I know! But sometimes i see the human puppies play in the mud, but they don't do it as well as us dogs!

      Milo :)

  10. Dear Sheba,

    I must remember your trick for getting a bone in the place called Pet Shop. I am usually very polite. I poke the yummy-smelling thing with my nose, and then I look at my person to tell her that I want it. My person is not very smart though, and she never gets it for me. I will try your trick next time.

    I also don't understand why people don't like stinky mud. The best is when you get it on your body and you can take it home to share the stinkiness with everyone. Why did people invent the terrible, horrible, no good thing called bath?

    Licks,
    Cobi
