The adventure garden

Yesterday mummy must have told grandma and grandad how tired she was (after I got her up at 5.30am I suppose) so they suggested that we both come over for Sunday lunch to give her a bit of a rest. The premise being that I could play in the garden and she could kick back and read the sunday newspapers. Now mummy and I both knew that the day would not pan out like this. For starters, grandma and grandad have an amazing garden and it's full of exciting places to hide, forbidden things to eat and naughty things to do. So a mischievous puppy like myself requires a fair amount of supervision in such a place. Still, we thought it would be nice to see them, and grandad does do a lovely barbecue (apparently - I wasn't allowed to have any) so we accepted their kind invitation.

Grandad did his very best to keep me occupied - he found me a football to play with, which I enjoyed greatly...until it unfortunately got punctured :-(





And even then it was good fun to chew...




But I still managed to find some naughty things to do. Grandad, it turns out, had a fish pond, which I can't believe I didn't notice on my last visit. It has a net over it to stop cats from getting the fishes, and you can kind of walk on the net to cool your paws down in the water without falling in. I also spotted a very tasty looking frog, but unfortunately he was a bit quick for me. Mummy came along to get me out of the fish pond so we had a lovely game of chase round the garden - she was running after me shouting, but I was much faster than her, so I think I must have won!

Grandma and Grandad's garden is full of strange noises - lots of things to bark at but then mummy said the neighbours would be having a fit (don't know why) so we had to go home. Still, I had a lovely time - more piccies to follow.
