She seemed rather keen to have a boating holiday as this little video we received after meeting up will show:
How could we refuse such an appeal? We had a few things to to first, before the dognap. One was a trip to Southampton General hospital to take Mrs Toddler for her pacemaker checkup. We were more than a little amazed to see this owl coming down the path inside the sprawling hospital complex:
The Hawks in the forest folks bring suitable birds along to scare off the seagulls who nest on the hospital roof, make a mess of the aircon units and attack the maintenance guys when they venture up there. Elton the owl seemed pretty good at it.
Then we collected our furry goddog and she came back to the boat with us for a little break. She seemed to need to catch up on her beauty sleep on arrival:
but soon perked up with the thought of the bay and a RIB trip:
although the wind did limit her vision a bit. We must chop some fur off for her before she thinks she is going blind. She also enjoyed a run around the bay in the boat but is not great at helming - too many things distract her:
We had been in WhatsApp conversation with some friends who were reliving their youth and watching Glastonbury re-runs on the TV. We asked if they had hosed down the garden so there was the regulation mud-bath outside and if they were slightly high too. As they are keen gardeners (remember, they posted two radishes to us a while ago) we thought that they might have some mind altering substances in their garden. They assured us that was not the case. Then, the postman kindly delivered this to us:
We thought that such stuff normally came dried and ready for use but it seems not. However, drying them out was not a success - I think they sent us the wrong kind of weed, keeping the best for themselves perhaps.
