"Long Walks With Friends"
It was with mixed feelings we dropped Tess off at her holiday home on Sunday night. She was going to stay with our friends and their Welsh Springer Spaniel, Nesta, while we were away for a few days. On the one hand we were looking forward to having a 'grown up' time away, on the other hand we knew how much we were going to miss our baby girl.
We had a lovely long walk together and pampered her all day before driving over to leave her the night before we left. Being such a clingy dog we thought it would be heart wrenching getting away. Not a bit of it!! In her usual Welsh Springer Spaniel fashion she had to investigate every nook and cranny of her new surroundings. The garden was of special interest with lots of new smells and strange new creatures she had never seen before......... tortoises. How we all laughed as she sniffed and chased the terrified animals around. We expected we would have to creep away but she was far too busy elsewhere to bother about us - cheek!
It appears the whole week was filled with playing endlessly with Nesta, very little sleep, lovely long walks, chasing birds and diving in the river. Oh, and terrorising the poor helpless tortoises. It was such a relief she was so well looked after and just as spoilt as she is at home, while learning something from the more mature Nesta. So much so she can't wait for her next 'holiday'.
It seems we missed her more than she did us. How fickle are dogs??!!
