Reservoir Dogs

Yap! I get to write an article – yup, we’ve got this site back in our control for a day or two! So I thought I’d write about my new favourite walk. Its around a Reservoir – hence the title Reservoir Dogs.

I like it lots ‘cos I get let off the leash all the way round. She say’s I’m a well behaved boy and that I deserve this treat. Gus and Bobby have to remain under closer supervision – Bobby because he usually barks first, and Gus because if he wasn’t attached to Her he’d still be sniffing the very first blade of grass!

The Reservoir is very peaceful, unless you take a bag of bread with you to feed the dogs ducks and swans. We NEVER get any bread, it’s soooooo unfair, but then, as we don’t visit the Reservoir daily, I should be more considerate in allowing the ducks and swans to have some of my the bread.

I shouldn’t be too ungrateful about the food I get, especially on a Friday night (which tonight is a Friday night) as we get home-made pie from our local chippie. We get soooo much that there’s still plenty o’ pie left for Saturday night dinner as well. Yummy, although we could eat it all in one go if They let us!

We’re just waiting for Him to finish doing something on a computer, and then we’ll lobby Him to get going for our pie, whilst She gets our dishes ready.

Hope ya’ll have a great weekend. Woofs, wags and rooOOooodles to you all.

Wound-up on Wednesday!

Us, being good ....?

Oh boy! Have we been naughty. Not that we meant to be. Perhaps it’s Her really. We’ve just come in from a jolly jaunt around Codnor Reservoir. We think we’ve behaved pretty well – She doesn’t.

Apparently Gus stopped at EVERY Fisherman’s patch in search of food. Probably looking for bread, but seeing as most of them use maggots, She was not happy about that! Not only that, but he did HIS usual : stopping at EVERY blade of grass to snniiiiiifffff!

Bobby acted like he’d NEVER been out on a walk EVER (he’s like that everyday, so not much difference there then). She hopes that maybe one day, just one day he’ll act normal like!

And me, Fin, well ….. She thinks I might have Gall Bladder problems that’s why I keep stopping and waiting a few seconds before wanting to move on. She let me off the lead round the Reservoir so that I could amble at my own pace. Let myself down though, ‘cos I saw a SQUIRREL and of course, it needed chasing – Gall Bladder issues completely erased – I was a perky as perky could be!

So, here we are back home, trying to be nice, not that we think we need to be as we don’t think we’re in the wrong! Anyway, She’ll calm down soon, usually Wound-Up Wednesday’s work themselves into being Wine on Wednesday – roll on 5pm, She’ll be happy then.

RoooOOOooodles to you all

 

Stormy Weather …

~ Sparhawk Scotties ~ Leave a comment

We are all very familiar with Stormy Weather. Why is that you ask. Surely the UK or more precisely the Midlands is not usually associated with Stormy Weather. Well, to be more precise than that, Stormy Weather has been in residence in Westwood every day, since February 2003.

How? Why…?

Because that is part of the name of Finlay, or officially : Sparhawk Stormy Weather.

So whilst the UK is experiencing stormy weather of a different kind, remember that we here in Westwood, see “it” daily.

Here’s just a few clips of our very own Stormy Weather ……
