Took the girls for a nice long canal walk this morning. Got to some locks and one was being filled, so I waited and watched the water rise. I noticed Candy kept going to the edge and peering over. Eventually the water reached the top (about 5 inches from the path). I heard a soft 'sploosh' behind me and turned to where Candy had been - no dog! Then she surfaced - she must have tried to lean over for a drink and slithered in :eh: She could have just walked a few more yards and she could have paddled through the reeds to get a drink. :roll: I had to hoick her out. Further upstream, walking under a bridge - another 'sploosh'. I couldn't believe it when Ruby surfaced and I had to pull her out as well. :roll: Honestly, it would've been easier taking the two children - they have more sense around water! :?

Mother of Idiot Hound here :roll:

 

Was walking said hooond this afternoon and she was exercising the local rabbit population (don't worry; I was calling her off at the last minute) when I saw that she'd gone through a thick hedge into the next field, a glance told me that this field was full of ewes with cute little lambikins :? and that she'd somehow managed to get through the electric fence without getting zapped :roll:

 

I shouted for her to 'wait' - my command (using the Voice of Doom) for her not to go a step further, so she stood there, but decided that as the fence was buzzing, there was no way that she was going through it *exasperated sigh*. She'd jumped (as only a saluki cross can) over a very deep ditch full of water, so I couldn't get over to retrieve her either. In the end I got her to wriggle back under the fence, but the poor thing got zapped in the process. I gave her a good fussing, but she's very subdued now and giving me that Eeyore look that lurchers specialise in :roll:

 

I had images of Mr Farmer coming out with his shotgun and accusing her of worrying the lambies :?:shock:

I feel left out of the idiot hound stories ... :lol:

Will have to work on father :wink:

 

 

We used to walk our friends spaniels with them in the park every weekend and one of them would always come back soaking or covered in mud.

 

Some friends of a friend have a dog shower/wet room! (they're just a little bit posh :wink:) next to the back door so the dogs go straight in, wash and dry off and then can go into the house :lol:
