A deer and a horse

Just had a great local walk, one of my favourites in fact. Not only that, I impressed Daddy as we went into a field with a horse and a deer. The deer looked as though he thought he belonged to the horse. I was off the lead and only half-heartedly gave chase. The deer was not too bothered and stayed with the horse and I came back. The fact that I was hot and tired had nothing to do with it! That is the first time we have seen a deer in Alveston.

Dogs Trust

I had a relatively dull day yesterday as Daddy spent a lot more time on the computer. However, things perked up when we had a visit from two people from the Dogs Trust. I like them because they played with me. One of them hadn't heard of a flat-coated retriever before, so I educated him. Daddy signed up and we are now sponsoring Roxy Rocket and Skippy. A worthy cause, I reckon. Well done, Daddy!

Training

Last night I went to training after missing another week or so. I think I am improving. However, the toughest part was the game we played - a down-stay relay! I found this very hard, but our team won the best out of three, so I couldn't have been that bad.

A wet time in the Lake District

Well, it rained and it rained and it rained. But who cares? I love swimming and I couldn't get enough of it. Coniston Water was overflowing, which is unusual for this time of year, but it isn't as high as last October when the boathouse was flooded.

I went on some great local walks and, on the only fine day, a high level one up Coniston Old Man. Here are our recorded walks (ie excluding the short ones down to the lake).
