Mum says Leaping Day only comes round every 4 years. So Tara has been doing her best to fit 4 years of Leaping into one.
We got up earlier than usual, because of Mum's work thing, but managed to get straight back to bed after a pee and a drink.
Dad went out for breakfast, and brought Mum a coffee to make up for her having to stay home and work. We didn't mind cos it meant we weren't stuck in our pens!
Then by midday we was both properly awake, and Tara had heard about Leaping and was bouncing on and off the sofa enough to wear me out!
We went to the big lake park for our walk. It was ace. Now that Spring is Leaping, we were able to do the big circuit, not the little lake circuit. No donkeys, and lots of mud, but we went alllllllll the way round the outside, and sniffed and saw things we haven't seen in months.
The long drainage ditch:
The swans:
Bullrushes:
Ducks:
Tara:
LEAP!!!
LEAP!!!
I have to do this, cos Cato is a boring fart and won't LEAP with me. If I don't, I will have to wait 4 years til I am old and fuddy duddy and won't WANT to LEAP when I get the chance again.
So I LEAPT onto benches and off them, and over mud and stuff. Though I waded through it too. And I have been LEAPING about in the house. It is such fun I had to go outside and bark about it!
Dad said with all the LEAPING he needed to give me more room and went off to play boring snooker.
Met some very shiny dogs on our walk. One cockerpoo was sooo shiny he looked polished. No rude dogs sniffing my knickers today, which was good. And when the big ones went past I LEAPT up onto a bench so my nose was level with the German Shepherd. Aren't I clever?
Mum doesn't seem very impressed with my LEAPING. She laughed to start with, but now she has started 'humphing' and muttering about baths. She says my feet are filthy. But they aren't nearly as filthy as they were when we got home this afternoon, cos I have wiped most of it off by LEAPING on Cato, and the sofa, and resting in my bed between leaps.
Sidney is in BIG trouble! He has been sucking the gravy off his lumps and spitting them down the stairs. I can't reach, or I would tidy them up for Mum. She says that Dad is in trouble too, because Dad has stopped using Sidney's special secret dining area that I can't get into, and gave him some food on the stairs. Sidney will use any excuse not to say hello to me 
so he won't come downstairs if Dad feeds him up there.
Ooooh I feel another LEAP coming on!
Sidney:
I don't need to say anything, do I?
You have just had a perfect glimpse into the unending horror that is my existence.
