Still waters run deep!

Hello dog followers,

Well, I've had a rather traumatic day and to be quite honest I think I'm lucky to be here to tell the tale. Mum fell over on the ice earlier in the week so walkies have been a little bit scarce. As it's Saturday today I was very keen to get out and about for a bit of fresh air. Mum wasn't too enthusiastic about it because her knee was still hurting, but I can be very persuasive and, after lots of barking, jumping on her lap and licking her ear, I managed to get her to take me out. With hindsight, maybe we should have stayed home and watched TV!

We had a lovely walk, and we were on our way back when we stopped by the pond for a sniff. While I was there I spotted some ducks giving me attitude on the other side of the pond so I decided to give chase. Unfortunately I forgot that the pond wasn't frozen anymore and I fell in the water. It was very deep and I went right under and got water up my nose. Thankfully I managed to get out but I was soaked through and very cold. Mum laughed at me, which I thought was rather unsporting, but when she realised how cold I was, she was very kind and took her coat off and carried me home in it to stop me shivering. When we got home Mum found me a blanket to cuddle up in front of the fire and now that I've defrosted I feel much better.

Mum said maybe that would teach me not to chase the ducks - does she know me at all :-) ???
