Bedtime

Mussel Farming Puppy Style

Look Bella these rocks are covered in mussels

Ummn lunch

These big ones on the top of the rocks are best

but it's a awful long way down! - Well don't look Murphy just eat

So that's how the tides work

Bella look somebody's pulled the plug out

Oh my God where's all the water going!!

It wasn't us.... honest

Sticky sticks

Well done Murphy now give it back to Darling

Murphy drop the stick and give it back to Darling

I can't drop it the damn thing is stuck between my teeth!

Try standing on one end of it and pull it out

Phew, I thought it was stuck in there for ever. I'm leaving it here, if Darling wants it he can bloody well fetch it himself!

Training Darling to fetch a stick

Bless, look Murphy he's found a stick to play with

Typical, he finds a nice stick then throws it away!

OK darling, let's try this again

Yes we can see that you've dropped it in the water again

Right Murphy it's your turn to take it back to him

Colwyn Bay on a cold sunny day

The weather was so lovely on Wednesday we managed to persuade Darling to drive us to Wales

What's better than spending a cold day in March exercising the humans on the beach

Oh Bella you didn't tell me the water was going to be this cold

Murphy look here, they've laid on refreshments!

Teddy is swimming with the fishes

Just a dream??

If I close my eyes tightly I can have a lovely dream

Of running through the woods

eating the daffodils (only the flowers, not the stems - I'm not a vandal)

and get on with training Darling to fetch a stick

Ahhh, it's a lovely life

The Great Escape

Bella don't look now but darling has left the gate open

Quick make a run for it...let's run up and down the stairs and find more stuff to play with

Damn no shoes or slippers worth stealing up there...let's try the living room

Go on Bella, climb on the sofa...I dares ya!!

Phew, all this exploring new worlds is exhausting

After the beach

There's really no need for all this

seaweed and mud doesn't smell that bad

not sure if it's the seaweed she's worried about

think it might be that mountain of horse poo we rolled in

I'll just have a quick drink while she's not watching

West Kirby

Let me help you with those boots or we'll never get to the beach

Pass me his slipper Murphy and I'll put that away

Where did all this sky come from?

Don't worry Bella, he'll soon get the hang of this puppy walking business
