We did it..... Well most of us!!

It was our sponsored cart pull and Berner walk this last Saturday as part of the carnival...( We cheat a little bit because their inscurance covers us and means we don't have to pay for a separate one). And we did it, all of us except her indoors that is. It was a really good day, not too hot and with a wind but with sunny periods too. We were all mixed in with pipe bands (the Scottish variety) dancers fire engines classic vehicles and this AWESOME ST BERNARD WHO WAS RIDING IN A SIDE CAR WEARING GOGGLES AND A CRASH HELMET. Honest, as I have four paws and all of them on my secret stash of sausages its true. He was ( or she was) amazing. Got to say that I still stole the show though... Had to be done it did. If only to embarrass Uncle Dick who I took with me....I got caught short and did the most enormous DUMP in the middle of the road.....He went this lovely shade of bright red and me and aunty Jackie were killing ourselves laughing, although she did help him clear it all up. Then when we had walked the distance, we went back to the party in the park to raise more funds for our charity.... Blind Veterans , which used to be St Dunstans. That was when her indoors decided that she would join us....lazy two legs. Her indoors had been wandering around all the previous week a lovely shade of green, having been clever enough to catch the current upset stomach bug that was going around all the schools. I told her , if she couldn't do the blogg for me as my secretary then she couldn't come round with us! Silly mare took it to heart, and the Troll had to come round instead. Have you ever noticed that the few times the female of the species does as it's told , it is ALWAYS ALWAYS when you didn't really mean what you barked.? I mean we could ave stuffed her in one of the carts with her legs hanging out the back and nobody would have minded.... Except perhaps the dog pulling the following cart. As it was she came and joined us when the party started and spent all her time answering people's questions on Bernese, all dog behaviour problems (yes she did a course although she says people need to speak dog, instead of expecting dogs to speak human or even mind read) and putting one poor man straight because a certain rescue centre had told him they will not home a Bernese with children because they are unpredictable in their presence.... I assume that meant the children because us Berners just love kids and cats and anything we can cuddle. Her face was a picture... She suggested that he and his wife and kids look around them, because they were totally surrounded by screaming laughing kids hugging and kissing Bernese they had never met before. Fair to say they went away with a different mind set. We spent all afternoon there and these two guys belonging to Cambs Search and Rescue came and fussed us all up. I was just in time to stop one of them putting one f us in his pocket to train for searching.... In your dreams mate... Although we did say we would join them on their next demo, SO GUYS YOU HAVE OUR NUMBER! Anyway I think that covers all the scandal and goss for the last few days, now we have the christening puppy BBQ to look forward to....nanny and grandad Broels are coming, bet they don't recognise me, I am so big now and really really handsome. Perhaps that bloke as a point.... Being in uniform is always a bit of a totty magnet, and search and rescue could be anywhere.... Perhaps it is a career to consider after all.... Anyway would just like to say a huge thanku to all my doggy mates who turned up, especially the honorary Berners who came aswell.... Thanks muchly. Cool runnings Gryff
