Playing in the leaves

Posted by Francesca

Who doesn’t love playing in a big pile of dry and fluffy leaves?  It’s so much fun and I feel sorry for dogs who live where no leaves fall.  Sharkey and I discovered some really big piles the other day and jumped right in.  One thing’s for sure – while playing, it’s really important to pay attention to what’s going on around you.

1 Look Sharkey - it's one of those things they call a leaf blower. That can only mean one thing at this time of year - fluffy, dry leaves!

2 See? What did I tell you? Let's go leaf diving!

3 Oh, this is so much doggone fun!

4 Sharkey, if you're trying to hide, you need to do a much better than that - you're sticking out like one big Q-tip!

5 Not good enough - I can still see you Sharkey!

6 What's up, Sharkey? Is everything OK? Why do you look so concerned?

7 OMG!! A giant leaf sucker! We need to get out of here FAST!!!

8 Phew! Shaun to the rescue!

9 Why Shaun - Is there still time to play?

10 Good thing we were so gallantly rescued. We might have been sucked right up with all those leaves!

The sport of donkey chasing

Posted by Sharkey

Regular readers of our blog know how much Francesca and I love to chase animals.  Yesterday, we were out and about and I realized that we hadn’t seen the donkeys for a while.  We located the paddock that they were in and I proceeded to have one yelping good time.  As usual, Francesca stayed on the sidelines.  Donkey chasing just isn’t her sport.

5 Are you sticking with Billie and Clive? Safety in numbers!

6 Run, donkeys, run!

7 Loop around the water trough!

8 Which way to go? Which way to go?

9 Come on Rufus - follow Billie to the hay shed!

11 Oh well - catch ya later!
