"Well it is cold in Norfolk!"Had a lovely weekend up in Norfolk with some old friends of ours, Tess as always had a great time in true Welsh Springer Spaniel style.
Our friends have a lovely Border Terrier called Finlay who is a lovely, placid dog but then Tess arrived. First things first, she discovered Finlays dog flap and what a treat, I can go into the garden whenever I want to without waiting for someone to open the door! Needless to say Tess spent a lot of the weekend in the garden.
We paid a visit to a country show but Tess did not seem to enjoy herself amongst all the crowds, she was very keen to leave and only seemed happy when she was on open ground away from the crowds. Something to be aware of there.
However on the Sunday we went for a long walk in one of the many country parks in Norfolk and even though it has not rained for 2 or 3 weeks in Norfolk, being a typical Welsh Springer Spaniel, Tess managed to find the only black muddy puddle within a fifty mile radius, stood in the middle of it and spent the rest of the walk looking like she was wearing black wellington boots. A couple walking their dog though it was hilarious although not so much when she threatened to jump up at them with wet muddy paws!!!!
The other funny thing we noticed this weekend and have not seen before is how jealous dogs can be. As I was sitting on the sofa Finlay the Border Terrier thought it would be nice to jump up and sit on my lap, Tess was having none of it and even though she was perfectly comfortable on another settee she was straight over to point out that only she was allowed to do that. Welsh Springers, never a dull moment!!!!!!!!
