Mum took Charlie and me out for our morning walk today. We met Fiona and Jack the Labrador just as the heavens opened. We didn't have our raincoats on. This doesn't bother me too much being a tough Lurcher but Charlie was not a happy dog. Still he still managed to get his nose in Fiona's pocket looking for biscuits.
Jack was not his usual bouncy self. I think he was exhausted after his afternoon with Nella. She must have worn him out. This is usually my job but it is nice to share the load.
It was still raining but Charlie managed to console himself by doing a bit of fruit picking on the way. He loves the bank of wild strawberries and the wild cherries go down a treat. He does try to finish off with a bit of fresh horse poo if he can which makes Mum and Fiona squeal.
I decided that Jack had recovered enough for me to give him his daily battering. He has the most delicious scruff for biting. I managed to throw him in the hedge a couple of times which he loves. Apparently Nella had been boxing with him yesterday. I may have to try this out.
Finally we got back to the bottom of the drive at which point the rain stopped and the sun came out! Jack provoked me into a final rough and tumble and then we went home to be dried off, have a spot of breakfast and then take to the sofas for a little snooze.
