Dummy

I had to pop over to get some feed for Buddy today. While I was there, I was very brave and bought Bert some goats ears (I know!!). He was very happy indeed with my choice of body parts.

I wanted to get a whistle while I was there and saw this starter pack. As a Spaniel, he loves having something in his mouth so thought the training dummy would be good.

We had a go with the whistle. He was very interested in that. He loved fetching the dummy. Unfortunately, I left him unattended with it and he’s managed to rip a bit off. Maybe he’s not destined to be a gun dog…

Air freshener

This is the sign of an equestrian for sure. Most of us have carried some form of feed or bedding in our cars. Made me laugh as I was driving along.

This one had an added bonus of smelling really nice. Definitely an improvement on the usual horsey / musty smell of The Comedy Car. Hoping this smell will last a few days. Who needs an air freshener?!

Saddlery smell

I had an hour to kill today, so what better way to spend it than in a saddlery. There’s a wonderful smell about a saddlery. It’s the smell of leather, horse feed, lotions and potions. It’s hard to sum it up. But it’s one that’s very comforting.

I saw this card and it made me giggle. When you think about it, we are a little bonkers. We put our trust (and lives) in the hooves of an animal who’s terrified of a carrier bag (amongst other things). But it’s so worth it!

Feed me

This is either the face of a cat who’s missed me while I was at work. Or the face of a cat who wants to be fed. You decide?!

Whichever it was, Dodo was very attentive when I got back and fired up the laptop to do some client work.

He really has grown into a rather handsome chap.
