Sunday stroll...

M and I had a rare weekend without the children. Well, 24 hours anyway. So peaceful! We took Harvey to Hartsholme. It's beautiful there, with several large lakes and lots of tributaries and boggy bits. Naturally Harvey couldn't wait to get wet but thankfully he's just too excited to be swimming and exploring and leaves the ducks and swans alone. He doesn't stop to say hello to other dogs either which is no bad thing as there were quite a few there. I'd love to know what Harvey thinks of small chihuahua's with pink fleece coats on, we passed three of these on our walk.

At one stage he was so wet and muddy that someone asked to take his photograph. He happily obliged (OK with a stick in my hand and the 'wait' command!).

On the home straight to the car park Harvey suddenly realised it was car journey time and he stopped his happy trot and started slinking along commando style. Pathetic!

  1. Dogs are so funny! It looks as though Harvey had a great time but wouldn't you like to know what he's thinking about in that last photo? x Jane

    1. He's probably thinking one of two things 'any chance of doing that all over again?' Or 'let's get this car journey over ASAP'!

  2. The mosaics are lovely. Do people walk on them? Harvey does look like a very happy dog, until he's cuddled up in the blanket:)

    1. Yes they have been down and walked all over for quite a while. There are some on the walls of the information building too. I think it was a school project. Harvey used to cuddle up to our big black Labrador after a wet walk so that's why we wrap him up in a blanket now. He's pampered!

    1. Thanks Vanessa! He is a darling! Probably the best behaved dog I've ever had but must speak too soon eh?!
