A Wet Christmas Eve







It's in there somewhere!








I am sure it will come as no surprise to anyone that Tess our Welsh Springer Spaniel got herself into trouble over the Christmas break.

We went to friends over Christmas and they have a pond behind the house but being the perfect hosts our friends had put up a fence to stop Tess going into the water. For most of Chrismas Eve she was happy to run around the garden and explore and whilst she showed some interest in the pond she seemed to realise there was a fence and no chance of going into the water.

However, being a typical Welsh Springer she was not going to be beaten. We were having our Christmas Eve meal and decided she might need to go in the garden between courses at which point she noticed a duck the otherside of the fence found a gap and leapt through - straight into the pond and gave herself quite a shock.

One very wet and very muddy Welshie then had to be hosed down outside and was then given a quick bath to get rid of the mud. Obviously after that it was on the lead each time we went into the garden!

Happy New Year.
