MONDAY 7th November: Sniffy! Yay!!!

Cato:

Mum said no walk yesterday cos of the coldwetwindiness, but today we went to the Big Lake.  I had to wear my English Gentleman Jumper, cos of the cold, and we only went round the lake on the path.  Boring or what?  But Mum said that would be enough for me, and I was very tired at the end.  I AM feeling much better though.  But I am VERY bored of fish.

This is first sniff.

It has been very weird while I was ill.  I haven't been able to go sniffing.  That is terrible.  Mum says she thinks it is Mental Cruelty for me not to use my sniffer.  It would be cruel to stop Tara bouncing, and cruel to stop me Sniffing.  Cos I am a Sniffer.  So I was Sniffing EVERYTHING today.  And it made me feel MUCH better.  And marking everything too.  I was all bottled up with the marking too!

Mum says this pic is funny.  Cos of the birds on the poles.  Must be a human thing.

MrWeatherForecast said there was rain coming.  And there was.  It was starting when we got back to the car.  But it was OK cos my jumper didn't get wet. :)

Boring out of reach ducks

Nice Westies.  Their Dad liked me a lot.  He laughed and smiled and gave me a great ear rub.  Tara just lay down.

I was on a Sniff Mission here.  I think something INTERESTING came out of the water.  Do you think it was a Lake Monster?

We saw a swan, all by itself, washing its knickers.  Mum says it looks weird cos of the autofocus.  Makes it look a bit watercoloury.

This is when he put his foot up on his hip.  How do they do that?

This is the bridge.  Can you see the white pigeon? (Mum: it'snot a pigeon, it's a gull!)

Lake%20in%20jumper%20020_zpsxxraw2x8.jpg

We didn't see it!  Dad should have pointed it out to us, shouldn't he?  He didn't!  We would have hunted it, if he had!!!

Then I was looking over the edge of the bridge,

Lake%20in%20jumper%20021_zpstztcfjsl.jpg

and this is what I saw.  don't they have weird white stick feet?

Mum says those buds are next year's Pussy Willow sprouts starting to grow.

This big dog was old and friendly, and we said hello, but Tara still did her submitting.  Just in case.

Tara:

Oh Aunties, it woz a HOBRRIBLE walk!  First proper walk since Cato started being Wimpy-ill, and I was really looking forward to it!  But it was terrible!  I had so much BOUNCE waiting to BOUNCE, and every time I went to BOUNCE (Mum: on Cato!) they said Ack-Ack-Ack! and stopped me!  Or they stepped between me and Cato so I couldn't get a proper run up.  Or a good leap.  Or a good rugby tackle!  It woz AWFUL!

They let Cato sniff, but they Mental Cruel me, by repressing my BOUNCE and think it is OK.  Can someone send me a rescue package?  I need a pink tutu, and some more hair bows, and sausages, and stuff.  Help!  

And then there were the HUGE ATTACK DOGS.  The Westies.  And the big black and white paw.  And I had to submit, or they would kill me!  And then Mum, wouldn't let me BOUNCE on Cato as a nice stress relief.

And worst of all, Mum didn't take a single nice pic of me in my Red bow, collar and lead to show you.  So now I have to wear the same thing two days in a row, to get a pic tomorrow!!! :eek:

Cato it is good to see you out and about with Tara on such a beautiful walk today. Your English Gentlemen Sweater is quite fetching........I will have to line my guys up to see all your pictures of your walk cause for the past week our outdoor play has been limited due to the fires in our area. The temperature is perfect for walking but being we are in a drought everything is so dry and not a day goes by without fires somewhere and the air is so thick with smoke that every one sneezes when they go out to potty and it gives me a headache.........so thank you for sharing your lovely walk with us......

I love your sky pics!  They are gorgeous!  Cato, you are so handsome in your gentleman's coat!  Wow!  so dapper!  Looks like you were having such a nice walk and I know you truly enjoyed it after being ill.  I bet it was just nice to be outside!  Tara, I'm so sorry that your Mum won't let you bounce.  I'm sure that they will let you get right back to it as soon as Cato is 100%.  Who knows?  He may even miss your bouncing on him.  

Those critters with the white feet did look strange.  Still they are pretty but they have strange feet.  What kind of critters are those anyway?

Looks like you had lots of great sniffs and some lovely doggie friends too.

They are either Coots or Moorhens.  I will try and find some pics, because I have never managed to remember which have the red and which have the white on them! lol.

Apparently coots have the white

and moorhens have the red.

Mum:  those fires must be nervewracking! Are any of them near houses?

The fires are within a few miles of us and thankfully no homes have been involved...........as soon as we were able to go outside yesterday the smoke had us going back in the house again.  75% of the fires that have been burning are arson.......sad that we have people that get such a thrill out of doing such things.

the one in the picture are white Coots..also a difference with Moorhens is that Coots have swimfeet(sorry don`t know the word) and Moorhens don`t..we have a Moorhen family right now..

So glad you're better and can get your sniffer back in action Cato, love your sweater!  Tara am so sorry you can't bounce and have to deal with those big dogs too. Hopefully you can bounce soon. Can't wait to see your red pics!
