Have decided there is nothing for it have to have a large glass of sherry, its never to early!
...... The morning started well will other half walking sir (i had a lie in :D )
Then when it was time for sir to have his mid morning nap, he decided he was okay and wanted to charge around and eat other halfs sleeve, much to his annoyance. :P
Finally after lunch we showed signs of sleep, i too decided i wanted a little kip. Other half gone to watch footy just me and the boy to cuddle on the bed.

Bliss......... then sister and brother in law arrived, which was nice, follwed by aunt and uncle. Aunt who is not a dog lover. Well sir really woke up and went charging and bouncing everywhere leaving a little exciteable trickle in his path and on my uncles sock :O
My aunty wondered how i coped !!
Thankfully as nice as it was they didnt stay long.
Decided the best thing was to go for a walk and charge around on a field (the dog not me). On route met a beautiful 18 month old male akita, so we stopped to natter and sir did his usual and bounced over the akita.
Made our way to the playing field where we met a black lab, again we bounced over each other saying hello, at this point i'm covered in mud and so is the boy, hey ho.
Decided as other half not with me i wont let him of the lead (recall need lots of practising) and tied a washing line round his collar. The knot was perfect and i was ready, of sir went not far at first. Then we decided to really run, im feeling happy as i know he cant run of. He runs to the end of the line, me holding on tight and then......... the bl**dy line snapped

few swear words on my behalf as the realisation was he was running free. Thankfully he came trotting over once he knew liver cake was on offer. At this point i decided it best to go home.
After having changed combats and washed the boy, think he brought the soil home with him, I can now relax.
He is fast alseep and i will soon be perusing the takeout menu.
Just felt like sharing my day.
thanks
