Yesterday I was so excited when my mum got my car harness out. I knew it meant only one thing… a big adventure! I watched as mum packed her food into her backpack and filled two big bottles of water for me. I just knew from this moment that it was going to be a good one. I am not a fan of car travelling and I don’t know what all the fuss is about with sticking your head out the window while driving along. I always feel a bit queasy, so just like to lay down and have a nap to get the journey over with.
We drove for what seemed like an eternity, but when we finally stopped and mum opened the door… the fresh air, oh my, it was amazing. I couldn’t wait to get out and explore. Soon enough we were on our way. I could see massive hills, sheep, water and I even spotted a rabbit. I wanted to get a little closer to check it out, but mum was very strict so I had to sniff from a distance.
We came to a little river, maybe it was more like a stream. I was so hot from running that I went for a paddle. It was really shallow so I couldn’t even my tummy hairs wet, but boy was it refreshing. The cold water on my paws was just what I needed. Mum settled down on the grass next to the water and pulled out a cheese and beef sandwich. I couldn’t help myself, that sarnie smelt so good I could almost taste it. I tried to get a little lick, but mum was too quick and I had to miss out. She did give me a tasty chicken fillet treat though. That made up for it and I soon forgot about the beef.
As we were almost approaching the high point on the mini mountain mum slipped on some loose gravel. I quickly went close to her to check she was ok, and I gave her a nuzzle on her face to let her know I was here. She brushed it off, picked herself up and we carried on. I could see she was injured, she was walking with a bit of a limp. I guess she wanted to act all alpha in front of me and pretend nothing was wrong, but I can’t be fooled!
When we got home, mum took a long soak in the bath. When she got out I went to inspect her leg. She had a large scrape, nothing too bad, but still I wanted to make it better. Hopefully on our next adventure there will be no slipping over. Well, that is if we manage to get out again before the winter sets in and the frost and snow comes.
