Gosh!!! I didn't realise it'd been almost a year since my last blog.....well it's been a busy old year...and I'm sure I have a couple of stories up my sleeve!
Business has been booming, and neither I nor my faithful companion Gretal, can complain. She's been busy making new friends and showing them around her fields....hopefully not teaching them too many naughty tricks!! As I have numerous Labradors coming to stay, then let's say a few words about the black, the chocolate and the yellow!! They may be different colours, but all in all they're quite similar. Now Gretal.....loves to run...the Labradors do too, but not unless they smell something AMAZING....like horse poo....some decomposing animal, fox poo....you get the picture. You see, Gretal doesn't understand this love of writhing around the floor in total ecstasy, in fact she can't quite understand why they do it! But you see, it's up to Auntie Claire to then do her best to remove said smells from those lovely Labradors....and I'm not always that successful!!! And of course, all Labradors love to scavenge don't they......and they'll eat ANYTHING.....so as I do my comedy run to try and remove said foreign, obnoxious smelling poo or what not from the jaws of the rapturous Lab , and then I'm just grateful I don't see too many people in the hills....phew!! And finally, let's bring up the subject of water, bogs and what not. My first customer when I set up this business was Madge, the black Labrador. She's fit and youthful, despite being in her twilight years. If she's near water, then it's like Christmas....well not just one Christmas but quite a few rolled in together. I remember a trip to a canal, and Madge was overcome with joy....and my own dog....well.....nonplussed would be putting it mildly..lol...I love how different they are!! On a recent trip to the beach with Madge and Sky the yellow Labrador....they bounded through the sea....splashing it around with bountiful joy....and Gretal??? You guessed it... she preferred just getting her tip toes wet!!! Now I can't end this post without mentioning Mystie the chocolate Labrador who...shock horror...doesn't like water!! She doesn't like the canal, or the reservoir, or the pool!!!!! Is she related to Gretal do you ask?? Well, her fur is a little wavy on her back, so you never know!! AND...Mystie also has a fondness for bogs....just like my little bog dog Gretal....damn, she really has been exposing Mysite to her naughty tricks!!
