Well yet another adventure for Tess. We went to visit friends in Marlow and spent the day on the River Thames. We’ve done this before, but this is the first time we tried it with Tess. Thankfully the sun was shining and as usual she was very excited. Most of the dogs we saw sat patiently on their owners’ boats enjoying the scenery and smells, but not our little Welsh Springer Spaniel! She wanted to be in there so, of course, I had to hang on to her harness for most of the trip. She did eventually settle down but the combination of water, ducks and swans was just too much for her so a firm hand was needed. Navigating locks was interesting too! And there are quite a few on the Thames! We had a lovely champagne picnic on the riverbank, then headed home for an evening BBQ. As usual happy and exhausted!!
This weekend Tess’s brother Wilby (plus owners!) came to visit. We thought it would be fun to visit the local country fair on Sunday, but Tess really isn’t a conventional Welsh Springer Spaniel - she hates gun shot and crowds so not the most sensible place to take her for a day out! Still she settled down when we headed home for a leisurely lunch and a few treats to take her mind off the ordeal.
