It’s been a busy few days here at Ladthwaite – on Monday me, Flash, Dynamite went for a walk to visit Fell House which is the nearest neighbours to Ladthwaite. At Fell House, there are 2 alpacas which are very strange creatures. They have long necks and are very inquisitive and are thick and fluffy like sheep but much bigger. The 2 alpacas which live at Fell House are called Gallavant and Gadabout and they are quite flighty creatures, not keen at all on being friends with dogs, so me, Flash and Dynamite had to keep our distance so that they weren’t scared by us. I managed to sneak up and get a closer look at them whilst Whitevanwoman was taking some photos.

Then yesterday Whitevanwoman and me had our photos taken and did an interview with someone who is going to write an article about me and how I am applying to become a PAT dog to visit people who are poorly in hospital and who need cheering up. The article is not going to be published for a couple of months yet but I will let you know when it is published and I might be able to upload a copy of it onto my blog.
Today is our last day at Ladthwaite and Whitevanwoman has been making the most of the dry weather today (yesterday was wild and wet and windy) to collect some more firewood, and guess who had to haul it back to the white van on the sledge?! But I didn’t mind as we spent a good few hours scavenging round the woods and me and Flash played “Chase” again in the field (although this time it was me chasing Flash as she was in a particularly friendly and flirty mood today). We are going home to our own kennel this evening and although me and Whitevanwoman have enjoyed staying here again, I think we are both ready to sleep in our own respective beds tonight. I’ve been snoozing in Flash’s bed (seeing as how she jumped straight into my bed when we went back home to see Miss Tibby on Sunday) but it is a lot smaller than mine, and it is a tight fit and I can’t quite fit all my legs in. So a good stretch out and a good kip in my own bed will be very welcome this evening.
