SUNDAY 17th July 2016: Sausage Sunday

Tara:

Sausages 2 days in a row, for Breakfast!  Mum says it isn't to be encouraged, and now we have to go a whole week without sausages.  Not fair!

But we did see Auntie Jane, and go for a Foxy walk.  We always do Foxy on Sundays, cos of Aunty Jane.  It was fun.  Hot but fun.  Of course, Cato wimped out, as usual.  I will show you the good bits, then Cato can do the boring bits.  Sounds fair, doesn't it?

Here I am, near the end.  3 sprouts today, but a bug got in them, and I had to have a good scratch, and stood on the top of my head for a bit, rubbing, so they look a bit messy.  But they started out looking BRILL.

And we met Eric and Ernie, the Westies, and um... can't remember the barky Yorkie's name.  They were nice, but I submitted just in case.

Then later, on the other side of the park, we saw Daisy.  She is nice too. She is ever so big.  Here is a pic of runty Cato next to Big Daisy.  Do you think I could get that big?  I could splat Cato with a single paw then.

That is all the fun bits.  Oh, except that the sausage was DELISH!!!

 

Cato:

Mum says today was 23 degrees (mid 70s?) but if felt MUCH hotter in the sun.  It was like being hammered, Mum says.  You can see how hard and bright the light woz, from the pics. It is mainly plants today.  Sorry.

This is a baby puffball fungus.  Mum thinks it may not survive, cos nasty people step on them.  Sometimes they grow as big as footballs.  This one was as big as an egg.  So only a baby.

Another secret door.   Though you might have seen it before.  Think we have shown you all of them.  But they ARE secret.  So maybe not...

The gerranums are blooming.  Auntie Jane says that the orange and blue combo is 'challenging'.  Wotever that means.

And some light and shade to show you how bright the sun woz.  Mum says the camera can't 'do justice' to the contrast, but the light woz amazing.

This is me.  We had gone round twice, and Auntie Jane looked at me and said 'I think Cato has had enough'.  And Mum looked at me and said 'Maybe.'

I woz going for an Auntie lift to the car, too, but with Mum there, I knew it wouldn't work.  But I got an extra drink out of it.  :spoton:

Love the butterfly bushes blooming, they are so pretty this time of year. The photos of the light  and shade are fab! Good shooting mom!

What a brilliant sunny day for a walk....... We thought about but mom said no cause she was going to thin our coats and trim our head.......phew it's been very warm for wearing fur coats. Abby lost her top knot today to...hehehe...Glad we stayed home because Oscar came to see us but he didn't want to play..spoil sport....At least you two have park friends that will play with you.:bounce:

Tara, your sprouts are so cute!  Cato, you look so tiny next to Daisy!  Is she a shih tzu too?  Love all the bushes and flower pics.  I give you an A+ for the try at the end, Cato!  At least you got an extra drink out of it! :hysterical:

Cato:

Thank you Aunties.  I think I need to up my game, on the lifts.  Mum is bullying everyone into ignoring me!  Do you think a limp would work?  

Daisy is a Shih Tzu, we think.  But she is very fat.  She had 2 sisters, but they died of old age, and now she is alone.  We think she is desperate to play, but she is a bit, um... big and heavy, and lumbers a bit.  

Mum says the orange and blue flowers are probably left overs.  We had a big Thing a couple of weeks ago, called National Armed Forces Day, and all the pretty flowers were planted on the sea front and in baskets and stuff where all the tourist people would see them.  We think the parks got the left overs this year.  And gernaiums are low maintenance, aren't they?  We should take you all for a walk along the promenade and show you all the posh flowers.  Except that Mum says it would be too mean, cos we would see the beach but not play on the beach. :(

:coffee: Due to the extremely hot weather I have resorted to my version of the Starbuck Frappuccino now while I read your blogs. As usual a very interesting walk in the park..........all your friends of different sizes to boot.  Sure wish you could send me a snip of one of those orange gernaiums  as we don't have that color in our nursery around here........love all the pictures of the flowers.......I love gernaiums have them in my pots on the porches, red ones are the most showiest and last the longest.........
