We have been busy this week - although we hate being left at home - accompanying D can be tiring sometimes. On Sunday we went to several Boot Sales - it was an early start 5:30 AM! For my pals over the pond - a Boot Sale is like a Garage/Yard sale - but everyone drives to a large field open up their trunks/Boots and sells things. Lots of clothes and kids toys - but lots of collectibles and every so often an antique. D is addicted to Boot Sales - in fact she cannot pass one without going in. If she hasn't gone to one at least in a week - she starts to get the shakes.
This is a view from our car overlooking a Boot Sale:
The cars are all lined up - row upon row upon row.... the selling is in the distance - they are popular so we end up parking a little ways away. Well, we spent almost 2 hours at one Boot sale - we were very tired - well I was tired - Paddy seems to run on batteries....
The good thing about Boot Sales is that we get BAD food for being GOOD Dogs - we both got the end of the ice creams - this is a photo of Paddy finishing his off - I ate mine too fast for that flashy thing to take my picture...
Now we can't show you everything D bought - because that would take days - but we did think we should show you this lovely board game....
We aren't sure how to play it - but it comes with little bone cards and 4 little plastic Scottie Terriers - maybe the Rocky Creek Scotties can teach us....
D is always finding weird and wonderful things - sadly C is not as enthused and has caught D trying to sneak things into the house - he did scream once when he saw she tried to 'hide' two steamer trunks in the garage.
On a separate note - D and C were not sure how Paddy reacts to loud noises - so when it was predicted that we would have thunder storms - they prepared themselves for the worst. I run and hide and take refuge in my 'safe' place. This is how Paddy dealt with the nasty thunder storm...
We hope he reacts the same way to fireworks ...
I have some footage for Whack-a-Squirrel - but my typist is having some 'technical' difficulties - so bare with us. Suffice it to say, our garden is a squirrel free zone!
D is going to be very busy in the next couple of weeks - so although we will read your blogs - we may not comment on them right away - hope you understand - we will be back soon!
Lots of licks
Sally
P.S. Paddy is doing well - he has a scar - but no long term effects - D cannot say the same - she still gets jumpy when a dog comes running over. We think she needs more Merlot medication!
