Candle lit picnic

Www. The adventures of Gryff.... We have just had a lovely candlelit evening having a doggy picnic in the cool. All day it's been muggy and hot, and her indoors must have filled our three water bowls up a dozen times each. Normally  if its  dry, about 11ish, the kettle goes on, the digestive biscuits come out,  and we all adjourn to the patio table. Infact since her indoors stopped working, it's become quite a tradition. Today it was cooler  on the kitchen tiles,  and even after our early morning walk we were all a bit warm, so she made us chill out all day. Got to say tea was a bit of ok. Usually we are outdoors and don't smell it cooking, but today we could smell it and it was driving us crackers. Anyway it was decided we could all have our tea outdoors which was great. Got to say we really got her going with all the bowl swopping. She just couldn't keep up with us. Merlins bowls got tablets  in, Asti has different biscuits, I get more than everybody else cause she says I'm a skinny bag of bones, Freya h as less biscuits and more pasta etc etc. infact I'm suprsed she remembers it all ( bit of old age dementia now and then). Anyway she called  time and we all had to crash and sleep it off. By the time we woke up  she'd got the candles burning and a book out and peace reigned. By about ten the kettle went on and after a bit of cajoling we got her to get the biscuits out. Our missing  morning biscuits which were now eleven hours late. Got say I think evening picnics are brill. A few special treats, a snooze, a bit of a game and then out with the biscuits. What more can we ask for. Anyway now it's time to blow out the candles and head for our baskets. On second thoughts, I think I will open the baby gate and let Freya and Asti upstairs..... Why should the troll have a bed to himself??? Merlin Ghostie and me, we'll we will stay on the cool tiles and look after Lace. You just never know when there's a cat coming through the window.....Cool runnings Gryff
