We has had such a lovely day. By Bessie

Today we FINALLY got to go out for the picnic we been promised all week except it rained every day.  So  the weather forecast said it was going to be nice, even though it looked grey, so Mummy made a picnic and we drove to Penarth.  Half way there it started raining and it wasn't just a shower it was properly tipping it down so Mummy said to Daddy why don't we go to Maidenhead Aquatics instead and buy some fish food (what with someone opening the cupboard and eating 3 tubs of fish food - very tasty they were too) but she said too late and he was in the wrong lane so we carried on to Penarth and by the time we got there it had stopped raining and it was sunny and warm.

We went to Cosmeston Lakes.  We ate the picnic on the grass by the car.  We had a chikin wing and some snossijs and a bite of Bryn's fish finger sandwich what I sneaked when he wasn't looking.  The humans had fish finger sandwiches and spring rolls and cocktail snossijs and dried apples and figs (hippies).

Then we went for our walk.  Mummy took the hissy spray cos there was lots of other dogs about and Carly can be anti social sometimes.  We met a HUGE deerhound and a black staffy and 2 whippets and about eleventytwelve greyhounds and a husky and a golden retriever wearing a babys bib (don't ask, I didn't.  Them was polish I think) and 2 miniature dachshunds and a beagle and a choclit labrador and a schnoodle and a lurcher and 2 cocker spaniels (one was normal and one was in full Crufts hair - odd) and a teeny jack russell and erm I can't remember any more right now.  Anyway no bassets, we was the only ones.

Mummy didn't need to use the hissy spray once.  Carly was a very good girl and we was all very pleased with her.  Then Lotty found a dead maggoty rabbit and wanted to bring it on the walk and Tom tried to pull her away and she dropped it on his shoe and he squealed like a girl and we all did laugh except Mummy who shouted NO YOU'RE NOT BRINGING A MAGGOTY RABBIT ON THE WALK and 2 joggers nearly did fall into a hedge.

Then we walked through a boggy marsh and we did get all muddy all over and we went down by the lakes and watched this husky lose his green ball when he bitted through it and it sank.  Him was very sad and didn't want to get out the water.

Then Lotty jumped down a ditch and had to be pulled out.  Her wasn't hurt, her just embarrassed.

Then we had an argument with some swans.  Mummy made us come away though and we got in the car and we went to the beach.  We sat on the beach and me and Carly had a nap and Lotty and the mini humans paddled in the sea.  Then the humans played tricks on me.  First they played how many pebbles can we put on Bessie's back before she gets cross (42).  Then they did it to Carly and only managed 2.  Then they piled as much seaweed as they could find on top of me.  Them is stupid humans sometimes.

Then we went to a chippy and the humans had chips and coke and us doggies just had chips and we listened to these 2 ladies at the next table having a conversation very loudly.  One of them said men over 40 disgusted her and she liked men about 30.  Her was at least 55.  Good luck with that.

Then we came home and had tea and watched X Factor and Casualty.
