We're back!

Hello every bloggie from Paddy,

After everything we have been through - D and C decided a nice restful break in the lake District was required.  So we loaded up the moving kennel and were off for a week!  We stayed on a lovely farm - with tasty - I mean - sweet sheep.  Unfortunately the wall around the garden was only 1foot high - which caused D and C anxious moments- Sally got the message not to jump over - but those sheep were calling me to them! Honest!  I just wanted to go over and 'play'.  Really...

There were lots of great farm animals incluing some very friendly cows.  The news has been saying that they are mean and will trample you - but they were sweet and kept trying to lick me and Sally - which isn't as sweet as it sounds since they have very rough tongues - do you think they were tasting me...Here are photos of us meeting our new 'friends'






We had lots of fun - lots of walks on the beach, hikes in the country side - and sadly trips in the car to Charity Shops and little antique Fairs - but it did rain every so often and D jumped at the chance to hijack us and force us to look at Bric-a-Brac!  Which was ok as I love hanging out the window of the car...



Heres some photos of happier, non-antique related times...





We loved our walks because we usually ended up in a Pub - here I am looking longingly at a pub that serves lovely food - all I got was chicken - how very disappointing ...




So to make up for it - I decided to roll in poo - if I cannot eat - at least I will have some joy in my life....
We weren't the most welcome diners after this ...

But we ended every day the same - nice and warm at the cottage - curled up - we were so tired we even forgot to sleep on separate couches....



I had some trouble with my back - but my pancreatitis stayed away - we want to thank everyone again for all their support - we will be coming round the blogs to see what everyone has been up to - so, smell ya later...





Lots of licks
Paddy!

  1. Hiya Paddy

    Now that looked like a wonderful break away. We are all most impressed you found some nice poo to roll in, jolly good for one's complexion.

    Loved the photo of you at Wastwater!

  2. Heehee! Looks like you had a great time - I mean, any time you can roll in poo is a good time! Looks like you had a lot of excitement, too, if that sleepy picture is any indication!

  7. we love the photo of you smiling back at the camera over your shoulder, with the view in the background.
    Inky thinks that you shoudl definitely roll in poo, whenever the opportunity arises, especially if the dinner service isn't that great. There is only one way to teach them...

  8. I am so happy to read of your wonderful trip. You all deserved it after that scary Paddy ordeal. Those cowdogs were pretty big, I am glad there was a fence to protect you.

    licks and sniffs, Sasha

  10. What a pretty place to vacation! The sights and smells of poop must have been heavenly. I can't imagine why those pub-goers didn't enjoy your perfume.

  11. Paddy. We are so glad you are feeling better and out and about. That trip to the country looked like just the right thing for fresh air (well, maybe not always so fresh, but pleasant nonetheless) and cow poo and kisses. You look like you are in dreamland in a couple of those pictures.

    Thanks for letting Sally come join us at the spa and the jammie party. I'm glad I got to meet her and to enjoy some girlie time together.

    Totally relaxed,
    Fergi (and who knows what Jake is up to... he's got a wild hair)

  19. Oh how perfect, you all needed a vacation after all of the troubles you've had.

    I would be a wee bit worried about those cows licking you, but a roll in some poo is good for any dogs spirits!
